Where eagles dwell On the mount of Tsukuba, At Mowakitsu, From the landing, We all went together Men and women both Gathering together For a poetry meet; With another’s wife Did I consort; My own wife Did others woo; This mountain’s Ruling deity, Since days long gone, Has not forbade it; On this day, alone, We will find no misfortune; No words of blame! |

The Right say that the Left’s poem, ‘suggests heat haze only occurs at Koya in Tsu,’ while the Left say, ‘what are we to make of phrasing such as “like” (tomogao ni)?’, obliquely suggesting that it’s inappropriate poetic diction.
Shunzei says simply that, ‘the purport of both sides’ comments about both poems is apposite,’ and makes the round a tie.
