Na ni takaki Obasuteyama mo mishikadomo koyoi bakari no tsuki wa nakariki - Shika Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

名に高き姨捨山も見しかども
今宵ばかりの月はなかりき

Roma-ji: Na ni takaki Obasuteyama mo mishikadomo koyoi bakari no tsuki wa nakariki
English Translation: Though I have seen too
the moon on Mount Obasute,
so renowned in name,
never was there such a moon
as the one I see tonight
Meaning: I have seen even the moon over famed Mount Obasute, yet never was there a moon like tonight's.
Commentary: Book Nine Miscellaneous Poems I 288

The poet has seen the moon over Mount Obasute, famed for its moon, yet says none compared with tonight's, praising the moon before his eyes. Invoking the celebrated moon of a famous place to rank tonight's moon above all, it is a poem of praise.
Whereas the preceding poem, 287, held the moon over Obasute as a lifetime's memory, this poem sings of a moon surpassing even that one, so that the two form a pair.

The first line, "na ni takaki" (renowned in name), conveys the fame of Obasute.
The second line, "Obasuteyama mo," names the same mountain as the fourth line of the preceding poem, adding with "mo" "even the moon of Obasute."
The third line, "mishikadomo," combines the perfective of the past "ki" and the concessive "domo": though I have seen it.
The fourth line, "koyoi bakari no" (such as tonight's), uses "bakari" to express degree.
The final line, "tsuki wa nakariki," ends firmly with the past "ki": there was no such moon.
