Section CLV. Emperor Yū-riyaku (Part VI.—He Makes a Progress to Yeshinu)
When the Heavenly Sovereign made a progress to the palace of Yeshinu, there was on the bank of the Yeshinu river a girl of beautiful appearance. So having wedded this girl, he returned to the Palace. Afterwards, when he again made a progress to Yeshinu, he halted where he had met the girl, and in that place raised a great august throne, seated himself on that august throne; played on his august lute, and made the maiden dance. Then he composed an august Song on account of the maiden’s good dancing. That Song said: “Oh! that the maiden dancing to the lute-playing of the august hand of the Deity seated on the throne might continue for ever!”
