朝ぼらけ 宇治の川霧 たへだへに あらはれわたる 瀬々の網代木
不知ながらも千鳥が推量とハ 侍女の出過者 兄貴ハ知れた闇愚殿とハ 悪言過た弟の嫉妬心 恋の不叶平治ケ胸ハ 彼問答の地名に有 花橘の小嶌が崎にはあらで 腹立ばなのこぢれがさきとやいハん

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.
