- Begged him to stand quietly.
- 'We're like sardines in here,'
- Said the samurai gruffly.
- Then, pointing to Muso,
- 'Why not toss out the bonzae?'

- 'I can't permit him to go on living after this,' he said.
- 'Why get so worked up over a trifle?'
- Muso said with a smile.
- 'It's exactly in matters of this kind
- That the bonzae's training proves itself.
- Patience, you must remember,
- Is more than just a word.'
- Then he recited an extempore waka:
- 'The beater and the beaten:
- Mere players of a game
- Ephemeral as a dream.'
