Next, a poem on the wanton maiden, Tamana. Surprisingly, for a Japanese poem on the subject, there's no suicide at the end!

A poem, with tanka, on the maiden Tamana, from Sue in Kamitsufusa.

Dabchick Awa abutting, In the catalpa bow Of Sue, lived Tamana: Her breasts Broad, my darling girl, A narrow waisted Mud-dauber maiden, Her face: Even and full of charm, And like a flower When she stood laughing, Along the jewelled spear Road travelling men, As they went Their path would halt, Though she did not call them, and To her gate they'd come. On either side Adjoining houses, their masters Long since Abandoning their wives, Though she did not want them, Even proffering her their keys. With all men Thus in confusion, With her pretty face The maiden went, and Was wanton.
