Gita Govinda 1.3.16

So sang he, and I pray that whoso hears
The music of his burning hopes and fears,
That whoso sees this vision by the River
Of Krishna, Hari, (can we name him ever?)
And marks his ear-ring rubies swinging slow,
As he sits still, unheedful, bending low
To play this tune upon his lute, while all
Listen to catch the sadness musical;
And Krishna wotteth nought, but, with set face
Turned full toward Radha's, sings on in that place;
May all such souls--prays Jayadev--be wise
To lean the wisdom which hereunder lies.

(Here ends that Sarga of the Gîta Govinda entitled MUGDHAMADHUSUDANO.)
