押込て家財不残奪取長やに火を付立去ば早
燃上る黒煙り炎（ホノウ）ふは天お焦しける是非に構わぬ
騒動共横を車に横尾村酒や文七といふ金持
有米穀多く買置酒も沢山造篭けれは是を
こそ潰さんと押寄ける文七廣庭に桟敷を構ひ
梵天の前に手を付いて各御苦労千万也餘りに
寒く候へ者酒を振舞申度候迚大飯切に酒ヲ
くみ出し親わん二のわん汁のわん手當り次第飲
次第恨乞なく振舞て其上金子弐百両乍軽少
御引手と指出せば頭と思布もの金子請取とり
あへず山里は胸が（カ）廣（ヒロ）きぞ勝りけん人にも金

現代語訳
押し込んで家財を残らず奪い取り、長屋に火を付けて立ち去ると、たちまち燃え上がる黒煙と炎が天を焦がした。これはもうどうしようもない騒動である。一行は横尾村へ向かい、そこには酒屋の文七という金持ちがいて、米穀を多く買い置きし、酒も沢山造り貯めていたので、これこそ打ち潰そうと押し寄せた。文七は広い庭に桟敷を設け、梵天の前に手をついて「皆様、ご苦労千万でございます。あまりに寒いので、酒を振る舞いたく存じます」と言って、大きな飯切りに酒を汲み出し、親椀、二の椀、汁椀と手当たり次第に飲ませた。
思う存分恨みなく振る舞った上に、金子二百両を「少ないですが、お引き受けください」と差し出すと、頭目と思われる者が金子を受け取り、慌てて「山里は心が広いのが勝っているのか、人にも金をくれるとは」と詠むと、皆々「神妙、神妙」と高らかに叫んで立ち上がろうとしたその時、何者とも知れぬ者が裏門から打ち破って居宅に火をかけ、蔵は残らず打ち破り、内から忽ち火を付けたのは無慙なことであった。長屋、薪木屋、雪隠に至るまで十二軒、都合棟数二十三軒が一時に

The group moved to Yokoo village, where there was a wealthy sake brewer named Bunshichi who had stockpiled large quantities of rice and grain and had brewed and stored much sake. They pressed forward to destroy his property. Bunshichi set up temporary seating in his spacious courtyard, placed his hands before a ritual banner, and said, "Everyone, you have worked so hard. Since it is very cold, I would like to offer you sake." He ladled out sake in large rice-washing tubs and served it in various bowls - main bowls, second bowls, soup bowls - whatever was at hand.
After generously entertaining them without any resentment, he offered two hundred ryō in gold, saying "Though it is a small amount, please accept this." When someone who appeared to be a leader accepted the money and hastily composed a poem saying "The mountain villages must excel in their broad hearts, to give money even to people like us," everyone shouted "Admirable! Admirable!" and was about to stand up and leave. At that moment, some unknown persons broke through the back gate, set fire to the residence, completely destroyed all the storehouses, and immediately set fires from within - a truly tragic turn of events. From the tenement houses to the firewood sheds and even the privies, twelve buildings in total, comprising twenty-three structures altogether, were simultaneously
