When Controller Tametō had begun to cease visiting Nagayori’s house, at the turning of the year, His Majesty provided a strip of his own clothing as an offering for the Miyanome festival; Tametō was visibly moved, so I composed:
あめに在す笠間の神のなかりせば古りにし仲をなに頼まゝし
ame ni masu kasama no kami no nakariseba Furinisi naka wo nani tanomamasi |
Should the heaven-dwelling God of Kasama Fail to come, To return things to what once they were: How should I request it? |
