累まで毎日下抜へしいつも朝桑は厚掛尓春べし
桑食し有せば下抜尓よろしからず五日目の夕桑六日
目の夕桑稾だ一ばい尓掛てよし志かし寒くして
食せ春は七日目の夕桑厚掛尓春べし桑よく食
し飛き目た川もの也断なれば桑付の日より八日
目大飛き尓て九日目は繭尓なる也もし寒け連ば
十日餘もかゝ累也
△飛き蚕／山箔（えひら）へ入梁の上へ阿け下尓て火を焚暖尓春へし
繭厚し凡百わらだの蚕五六十ゑ飛ら尓入扁し餘り
多く入連ばまゆ薄く大繭多し
△桑を掛る事四眠共尓加減阿り起て始は黄色也薄掛

現代語訳
飛び繭まで毎日下抜きをすべし。いつも朝桑は厚く掛けにすべし。桑を食べ残していれば下抜きによろしからず。五日目の夕桑、六日目の夕桑は藁台一杯に掛けてよし。しかし寒くして食べさせれば七日目の夕桑は厚く掛けにすべし。桑をよく食べ、飛び目立つものなり。断食すれば桑付けの日より八日目に大飛びとなり、九日目は繭になるなり。もし寒ければ十日余りもかかるなり。
△飛び蚕を蔟へ入れ、梁の上へ上げて下にて火を焚き暖かにすべし。繭は厚し。およそ百藁台の蚕を五、六十の蔟に入れよし。あまり多く入れれば繭薄く大繭多し。
△桑を掛けることは四眠共に加減あり。起きて始めは黄色なり、薄く掛けよし。色白くなりて少し厚く掛け、青くなる時は食べ盛りなり。ますます厚く掛けすべし。飽食といえども傷まず。眠に向かい縮み立ては黄色なり。桑少し減じ、それより段々薄く掛けす。
英語訳
Until the flying stage leading to cocoons, perform bottom removal daily. Always apply morning mulberry thickly. If mulberry remains uneaten, it is not good for bottom removal. For evening mulberry on the fifth and sixth days, it is good to spread it full on the straw platforms. However, if keeping them cool and making them eat, the evening mulberry on the seventh day should be applied thickly. They eat mulberry well and become noticeably ready to fly. If they fast, they will reach the great flying stage on the eighth day from the mulberry application day, and become cocoons on the ninth day. If it is cold, it may take over ten days.
△Put the flying silkworms into cocoon frames, raise them above the beams, and light fires below to keep them warm. The cocoons will be thick. Generally, put silkworms from one hundred straw platforms into fifty to sixty cocoon frames. If too many are put in, the cocoons will be thin with many large cocoons.
△Applying mulberry has gradations for all four molting stages. When they first wake up, they are yellow in color - apply thinly. When the color becomes white, apply somewhat thickly. When they become blue, it is their prime eating time. Apply increasingly thickly. Even when satiated, they are not harmed. When approaching molting and their bodies shrink and stand up, they are yellow. Reduce the mulberry slightly, and from then gradually apply more thinly.
