SCSS XIII: 788

From the Poetry Match held by the Hosshōji Lay Priest and Former Chancellor.

かつみれど猶ぞ恋しきわぎもこがゆつのつまぐしいかがささまし

katsu miredo
nao zo koishiki
wagimoko ga
yutsu no tsumagushi
ikaga sasamashi
At last did I see her, yet
All the more do I love
My darling girl, so
Should I turn her to a sacred slender comb
And wear her in my hair?
