MYS VIII: 1576

[One of] Seven poems composed at a banquet at the residence of the Tachibana Minister of the Right.

この岡に小鹿踏み起しうかねらひかもかもすらく君故にこそ

kono woka ni
osika pumi’okosi
ukanerapi
kamokamo suraku
kimi yuwe ni koso
Upon this hill
My tread has awoken the fauns
While sighting my aim;
Everything and anything we do
Is for you, my Lord.

Kosobe no Shitsuma
巨曽倍津嶋
