77. 時ならず客の来らば点前をば心は草にわざを慎しめ
toki narazu kyaku no kuraba, temae o ba kokoro wa sō ni waza o tsutsushime
An unannounced guest is no cause for dismay,
With an honest temae, allow spontaneity to be the order of the day

Poem 76
掛物を掛けて置くには 壁付を三 四分透し置く事と聞く
kakemono wo kaketeoku ni wa kabetsuki wo san yon bu tōshioku koto to kiku
When hanging a scroll
It should sit away from the wall
by 3 or 4 bu
Being gentle with one’s things
Trains the spirit anew

75. 三幅の軸を掛けるは、中を掛け、軸先を掛け、次に軸本
sanpuku no jiku wo kakeru wa, naka wo kake, jikusaki wo kake, tsugi ni jikumoto
A set of three scrolls
Are hung in an order thus:
First hang the centre
Then the last scroll & conclude
Back at the first scroll, no fuss
