君がため 春の野にいでて わかなつむ 我衣手に 雪はふりつつ
木曽義仲 平家と合戦の節 陣中に病発す 巴ハ此時先陣に在りしが 斯と聞より 俊足に鞭打 降積深雪を馬足に散し 本陣へ急行に 平家の兵 勢ひに恐れて さへぎる者なかりしとぞ

NOTES:
[1] Much of Bigelow's collection of Asian art was formed during his residence in Japan between 1882 and 1889, although he also made acquisitions in Europe and the United States. Bigelow deposited many of these objects at the MFA in 1890 before donating them to the Museum's collection at later dates.
