Roma-ji: Hito shirezu naki na wa tatedo karakoromo kasanenu sode wa nao zo tsuyukeki
English Translation: Unknown to me, a name
false and groundless has been spread,
yet my Chinese robe,
its sleeves never laid with yours,
is wet with dew all the same
Meaning: Without my knowing, a groundless rumor has been spread, yet my sleeves, never laid upon yours, are still wet with tears like dew.
Commentary: Book Eight Love Poems II 486

Though they have never shared a bed, a groundless rumor has arisen, and yet the sleeves of the Chinese robe, never laid upon the other's, are still wet with tears. Stringing together words tied to clothing, tatsu, to arise and to cut cloth, the Chinese robe, layering and sleeves, the poem conveys one who suffers from baseless gossip and still weeps over an unfulfilled love.
Poem 433 in this book also uses the Chinese robe and the pivot word tachi to sing of wet sleeves.

First line, 'hito shirezu', means unknown to others, the same words as the first line of poem 467 in this book.
Second line, 'naki na wa tatedo', is a pivot word in which tate means both a rumor arising and cutting cloth, tied to the Chinese robe in the third line, left in kana. Naki na is a groundless rumor. It uses the concessive do.
Third line, 'karakoromo', is a fine robe in the Chinese style, related to cutting, layering and sleeves.
Fourth line, 'kasanenu sode wa', means sleeves never laid together, that is, never sharing a bed.
Final line, 'nao zo tsuyukeki', means are wet with dew all the same, the particle zo answered by the attributive tsuyukeki.
