1.26

yo gauravaṃ bhayaṃ prema sad-bhāvaṃ pūrva-yoṣiti
na muñcaty anya-citto'pi jñeyo'sau dakṣiṇo yathā //
saivāsya praṇatis tad eva vacanaṃ tā eva keli-kriyābhītiḥ saiva tad eva narma-madhuraṃ pūrvānurāgocitam
kāntasyāpriya-kāriṇīti bhavatī taṃ vakti doṣābilaṃ kiṃ syād ittham aharniśaṃ sakhi mano dolāyate cintayā //

He who does not abandon respect, apprehension, affection, and good disposition toward his former woman, / even though his mind is on another, is to be known as the courteous hero, as: / 'That same bow of his, that same speech, those very playful deeds, / that same fear, that very sweetness of jesting appropriate to his former affection— / yet you say that he, acting disagreeably, is tainted with faults toward his beloved; / why should it be so, friend? My mind swings day and night with worry.'
