Sanekata Shū 79

On hearing that someone using the name of Sanekata, Assistant Captain of the Middle Palace Guards, had been visiting a certain lady in the Tenth Month, I sent her the following:

たれならむいかで野守に言とはむ標縄の外にてわが名借りけむ

tare naramu
ikade nomori ni
koto toFamu
sime no Foka nite
wa ga na karikemu
Who might he be?
Somehow, to the gamekeepers
I would pose that question;
For without the demesne
Has my name been reaped!
