  • Description: Oh! Thine Augustness the Deity-oj-Eight Thousand-Spears! (Thou), my (dear) Master-oj-the Great Land indeed, being a man, probably has on the various islandheadlands that thou seest, and on every beach-headland that thou lookest, a wife like the young herbs. But as Jar me, alas .f being a woman, 1 have no man except thee; 1 have no spouse except thee. Beneath the fluttering oj the ornamented Jence, beneath the rustling of the cloth coverlet, (thine) arms white as rope oj paper-mulberry bark softly patting (n'.}) breast soJt as the melting snow, and patting (each other) interlaced, stretching out and pillowing (ourselves) on (each other's arms) ,-true jewel-arms, and She having thus sung, they at once pledged (each other) by the cup with (their hands) on (each other's) necks, and are at rest till the present time. These are called divine words.
