関善左衛門　この組は後に陣中において山田孫太夫が預かった
　　朔日早朝、夜のうちに討死、死骸はその朝のうちに
　　天草へ船に乗せて運んできた
島原記によると、正月朔日の夜、松倉陣の小屋を攻める時分に
　無傷の者はわずか三十六人であった。この中で井村助兵衛、野
　中孫左衛門は手を負ったというが、竹束の番は務めることが
　できるということを申し出たため、無傷の者の内に加えた。この件を立花
　へ報告したところ、間権左衛門に足軽五十ほどを付け添えて
　加勢があったという。

　　Early morning of New Year's Day, killed in action during the night, his corpse was
　　loaded onto a ship and brought to Amakusa that same morning

　Someone said that the above poem was composed by Tokisada, which people were rumoring at the time
　Its authenticity is unknown, but it was probably a forgery by someone from the besieging forces
　However, if it were truly Tokisada's composition, judging by the crude style at this time,
　Tokisada would appear to be a completely unlearned man. Yet at that time
　people called Tokisada a scholar of great learning. However,
