...When I gave consideration
To this letter they convey,
I decided if there weren't
Any Shogun to receive it,
It would act as a deterrent
Since they'd have no place to leave it,
And they might go away, my lord.
Do you see what I say, my lord?

In the tea, my lord, the chrysanthemum tea,
An informal variation on the normal recipe.
Though I know my plan had merit,
It's been slow in execution.
If there's one thing you inherit,
It's your father's constitution,
And you're taking so long, my lord...
Do you think I was wrong, my lord?
No, you must let me speak,
When the Shogun is weak,
Then the tea must be strong, my lord...
