1.7.24

ghaṭayati sughane kuca-yuga-gagaṇe mṛga-mada-ruci-rūṣite |
maṇi-saram amalaṃ tāraka-paṭalaṃ nakha-pada-śaśi-bhūṣite ||

Vainly! all vain!
Make then the most of that whereto thou'rt given,
Feign her thy Paradise--thy Love of loves;
Say that her eyes are stars, her face the heaven,
Her bosoms the two worlds, with sandal-groves
Full-scented, and the kiss-marks--ah, thy dream
By Jumna's stream!

Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs
