1. When he departed thence and reached the moor of Tagi he said: "Whereas my heart always felt like flying through the sky, my legs are now unable to walk. They have become rudder-shaped." So that place was called by the name of Tagi. Owing to his being very weary with progressing a little further beyond that place, he leant upon an august staff to walk a little. So that place is called by the name of the Tsuwetsuki pass. On arriving at the single pine-tree on Cape Wotsu, an august sword, which he had forgotten at that place before when augustly eating, was still there not lost. Then he augustly sang, saying: "O mine elder brother, the single pine-tree that art on Cape Wotsu which directly faces Mohari! If thou, single pine-tree! wert a person, I would gird my sword upon thee, I would clothe thee with my garments, O mine elder brother, the single pine-tree!"

2. When he departed thence and reached the village of Mihe, he again said: "My legs are like three-fold crooks, and very weary." So that place was called by the name of Mihe. When he departed thence and reached the moor of Nobe, he, regretting his native land, sang, saying: "As for Yamato, the most secluded of lands Yamato, retired behind Mount Awogaki encompassing it with its folds is delightful!"

3. Again he sang, saying: "Let those whose life may be complete stick in their hair as a head-dress the leaves of the bear-oak from Mount Heguri, those children!"

4. This song is a Land-Regretting Song. Again he sang, saying: "How sweet! ah! from the direction of home clouds are rising and coming!"

5. This is an Incomplete Song. At this time, his august sickness was very urgent. Then, he sang augustly, saying: "The sabre-sword which I placed at the maiden's bed-side, alas! that sword!"

6. As soon as he had finished singing, he died, Then a courier was despatched to the Heavenly Sovereign.
