一年の計（はかりこと）ハ春に有一日のはかりことは晨（あした）にありといへは春の
初めに其吉凶を占（うらな）ひ又はよき人相家に勘考を求むへし七難
は面色にあらはるゝ物なれはより〳〵相を見するにしかじ予壮年
の時寛政の末より文化三寅年の春まで失火（てあやまち）だに
なくて心長閑なる頃見相をこひけれは相人の曰く遠からず
旅行有ぬへし火難も見申れとものがれ給はん歟といひけるを
心にも入れず桜曇りにゆくりなく野もせの草を枕香の

When I was in my prime, from the end of the Kansei era until the spring of Bunka 3 (1806), the Year of the Tiger, I had not even experienced any fire-related accidents and was living peacefully. During this tranquil time, I asked for a physiognomy reading. The physiognomist said, "You will have a journey before long. I also see fire calamity, but perhaps you will escape it." I paid no heed to these words. On a cloudy day during cherry blossom season, I unexpectedly spent the night outdoors, using grass as a pillow, with incense...
