三眠の内桑とめ一日は起て蚕揃ふため也庭尓起る

む起て桑付る也此時切らざる桑を残ら須掛終り
直尓下抜へしいまだ起ざる蚕こしたの/底(そこ)尓阿り拾
ひとり別稾だへ移しべし則時尓起るもの也是にて
蚕は下抜く事宜しきを知るべし庭尓起てより
蚕屋爐を塞ぎ火を焼く事を禁じ冷しく春へし
若し南風吹て蒸し熱く急尓北/窓(まと)を開き或盤

現代語訳
三眠の内、桑止め一日は起きて蚕が揃うためなり。四回目に起きるには、そのことにかかわらず先に起こした蚕を飢えに及ばせてはならぬ。起きて桑を付けるなり。この時、切らざる桑を残らず掛け終わり、直ちに下抜きへし。いまだ起きざる蚕、簀の底にあり、拾い取り別の稾台へ移すべし。やがて起きるものなり。これにて蚕は下抜くことの宜しきを知るべし。四回目に起きてより蚕屋の炉を塞ぎ、火を焚くことを禁じ、涼しくすべし。
もし南風吹きて蒸し暑く、急に北窓を開き、あるいは仕切戸を外し、涼しくすべし。寒国暖国にかかわらず、風涼を要とす。四回目の蚕のうち日数かかれば糸目を多く得るなり。この時蚕も宅に満ち、桑を多く採るならば、桑三度掛けよし。起きて二日目、下抜きせず切桑を掛ける。三日目の朝、切らざる桑を厚く掛けにして下抜くべし。この日、藁台を広げ、四つの藁台を五つにすべし。これより飛び

At this time, apply all remaining uncut mulberry without leaving any, and immediately proceed to bottom removal. Silkworms that have not yet awakened are at the bottom of the bamboo mats; pick them up and move them to separate straw platforms. They will soon awaken. From this, one should know that it is proper to perform bottom removal on silkworms. From the fourth waking onward, block the furnace in the silkworm house, prohibit lighting fires, and keep it cool.
If the south wind blows making it humid and hot, quickly open the north windows, or remove the partition doors to keep it cool. Regardless of whether in cold or warm regions, wind and coolness are essential. Among fourth-stage silkworms, if more days are taken, more silk threads will be obtained. At this time, if the silkworms fill the house and much mulberry is gathered, it is good to apply mulberry three times. On the second day after waking, do not perform bottom removal but apply cut mulberry. On the morning of the third day, apply uncut mulberry thickly and perform bottom removal. On this day, spread the straw platforms, making four straw platforms into five. From this point, flying...
