織田がこね 羽柴がつきし 天下餅 すわりしままに 食うは徳川

Rice cake for ruler,
Puddled by Oda*, firstly,
Then pounded by Hashiba**, the hustler,
Was eaten eventually,
By Tokugawa***, sitting and waiting, simply.
Ota Nanpo

** Hideyoshi Hashiba, later Toyotomi
*** Ieyasu Tokugawa, who established Tokugawa Bakufu, the shogunate government
