      この(まき)(しち)(うた)(ふる)調(ちょう)()のものだから、どちらかが(げん)()(ほか)(すこ)(へん)()したものであろう。
      Kono maki shichi no uta mo furui chōshi no mono da kara, dochira ka ga genka de hoka wa sukoshi henka shita mono de arō.
      As this poem in scroll 7 also features an old style, one of the two must be the original and the other a slight variation.
