The Summer King Reigns;
Baldric-ten’nō, with gloryAnd Breyla, kōgō
Before them kneels a hikan
Of far Kyushu:
Shimazu Nobuhisa
Weathers storms of swords
As harbour on an island
Masters the seasons
Bountiful dishes always
Served with joyful heart.
Mikado says to you, Rise
Take your station as Lord.
Done this 7th day of Summer, in the 53rd Year of the Society, by our decree.
