Jester: Her ladyship begs you with her heart; I beg with my head. Take this.
Hero: So be it. (Taking it) My friend! Take this pearl necklace and go to Vasantasenā's presence.

makes an unfitting affection for women's wealth.
Faltering in honour and in doing duty,
shame, alas! on a man's high birth and on his poverty! (18)
