万世に語り継げとしこの丘に
領巾振りけらし松浦佐用姫

Roma-ji: Yorozuyo ni kataritsuge to shi kono take ni hire furikerashi matsura sayohime
English Translation: For ten thousand ages
to be told on down, it seems,
upon this high peak
she waved her scarf so long ago —
Matsura Sayohime
Meaning: It seems that Matsura Sayohime waved her scarf on this peak so that her story would be told for ten thousand ages.
Commentary: Book Five Miscellaneous Poems 873

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "A still later person's response"
The poet says that Matsura Sayohime seems to have waved her scarf on this mountain so that it would be told for ten thousand ages. Recasting the preceding poem's question as an inference, he sees in her the will to hand the legend down.
The headnote tells how Ōtomo no Sadehiko, sent by imperial command as an envoy to a land across the sea, set sail; his wife, Matsura Sayohime, lamenting that parting is easy and meeting hard, climbed a high peak, gazed after the departing ship, and at last took off her scarf and waved it. None who stood by could hold back their tears, and so the mountain came to be called the Peak of the Waving Scarf. It is identified with Mount Kagami in Karatsu. Opinions differ on the authorship of this sequence, some attributing it to Ōtomo no Tabito and others to Yamanoue no Okura, and no view is settled.

First line, "yorozuyo ni": "for ten thousand ages," a longer measure of time than the preceding poem's "as a mountain's name."
Second line, "kataritsuge to shi": "shi" is emphatic, taking up the preceding "iitsuge to kamo."
Third line, "kono take ni": the mountain where she waved her scarf.
Fourth line, "hire furikerashi": "kerashi" infers a past event from evidence: it seems she waved it. The poem breaks here.
Fifth line, "Matsura Sayohime": by inversion the heroine's name comes last, closing on a noun; the next two poems end with the same line.
