92. Sanuki, in Attendance on the Retired Emperor Nijō: Nijō In Sanuki

Waga sode wa Shiohi ni mienu Oki no ishi no Hito koso shirane Kawaku ma mo nashi. MY sleeve is wet with floods of tears As here I sit and cry; ’Tis wetter than a low-tide rock,— No one, howe’er he try, Can find a spot that 's dry! The Lady Sanuki was one of the Minamoto family, and lived at the Court of the Emperor Nijō, who reigned A.D. 1159-1165. She was the daughter of the retired Emperor Goshirakawa, and died A.D. 1165.
