1.8.4

vapur anuharati tava smara-saṅgara-khara-nakhara-kṣata-rekham |
marakata-śakala-kalita-kala-dhauta-liper iva rati-jaya-lekham ||

But wilt thou plead, when, like a love-verse printed
On the smooth polish of an emerald,
I see the marks she stamped, the kisses dinted
Large-lettered, by her lips? thy speech withheld
Speaks all too plainly; go,--abide thy choice!
If thou dost stay, I shall more greatly grieve thee;
Not records of her victory?--peace, dear voice!
Hence with that godlike brow, lest I believe thee.

Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs
