恋せんとなれるみかはの八橋の蜘蛛手に物を思ふ比かな
koi sen to Thinking to love—
真野之浦乃 与騰乃継橋 情由毛 思哉妹之 伊目尓之所見
真野の浦の淀の継橋心も思へや妹が夢にし見ゆる

The Right state: the Left’s poem is preposterous. The Left state: the Right’s poem has no faults to mention.
In judgement: the Left’s poem seems to be aping the style of the Left in the previous round. As for the Right’s poem, although ‘zithers’ harmony’ (koto no shirabe ) sounds modern, it is in a standard style. It should win.
