1.7.39

mano-bhavānandana candanānila prasīda re dakṣiṇa muñca vāmatām |
kṣaṇaṃ jagat-prāṇa nidāya mādhavaṃ puro mama prāṇa-haro bhaviṣyasi ||

"O delighter of mind-born love! O sandal breeze from the south, be gracious! Abandon your perversity! / O breath of the world, having placed Mādhava before me for a moment, you may take my life!"

But love is strong to pardon, slow to part,
And still the Lady, in her fancies, sang--

A little--oh! a little--breathe once more
The fragrance like his mouth's! blow from thy shore
One last word as he fades into a dream;

Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs

Bodiless Lord of love!
Show him once more to me a minute's space,
My Krishna, with the love-look in his face,
And then I come to my own place above;
