Fushimi suginu okanoya ni nao todomaraji hino made yukite koma kokoromin

伏見過ぎぬ岡の屋になほ留まらじ
日野まで行きて駒試みん

Roma-ji: Fushimi suginu okanoya ni nao todomaraji hino made yukite koma kokoromin
English Translation: Fushimi's behind me—
at Okanoya too I will
not stop, I resolve—
on to Hino I shall ride
and try out my horse's pace.
Meaning: Fushimi is behind me; I will not stop at Okanoya either. I will ride on as far as Hino and test my horse's mettle.
Commentary: Miscellaneous Poems 1438

Headnote: none
Fushimi is passed; he will not stop at Okanoya either, but ride on to Hino and test his horse, the poet says.
Naming Fushimi, Okanoya, and Hino, places southeast of the capital, one after another, it is a brisk poem of advancing on horseback. Full of extra syllables, its string of place names conveys the momentum of travel.

First line, “fushimi suginu”: nu is perfective, "Fushimi is passed"; the line has an extra syllable and the poem breaks here.
Second line, “okanoya ni nao”: at Okanoya, still; the line has an extra syllable.
Third line, “todomaraji”: ji is negative volition, "I will not stop"; the poem breaks here.
Fourth line, “hino made yukite”: going as far as Hino.
Fifth line, “koma kokoromin”: n is volitional, "I will test my horse."
