夜をこめて とりのそらねは はかるとも 世に逢坂の関はゆるさじ
啼ばこそ別をいそけ鶏の音の 其車尾に引きかへて 見るもいぶせき迎ひの輿 憂を見返る丞相の 袖に泪のかヽり船 日の照国も無を侘らん

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.
