おもはぬほかにとをさかり参らせて候へともよそ
にても見参らすれはたゝそひ参らせたるこゝち
して候つるにこれをかぎりとおほせ候へは心う
くかなしくこそ候へとてもたへこかれけれともさて
有へき事ならねはすてに月かけにしの山のはに
かゝりけれは中将いとま申とてなこりをそてに
つゝみてつゐに出給ふしゝうもたいけいもんまて
あゆみ出侍るすてにくるまにめしけれは月かけ
くるまの物みよりさし出てあはれをすゝめけれ
は中将殿せいかいのよるの月いゑ〳〵のおもひ少々
ゑいしてくるまをやり出し給ふしやうもんのま

Wrapping his lingering attachment in his sleeves, he finally departed. The gentleman-in-waiting also walked out as far as the Daikei Gate.
