6.19

eṣā kusumaniṣaṇṇā tṛṣitā api satī bhavantam anuraktā /
pratipālayati madhukarī na khalu madhu vinā tvayā pibati //
sānumatī adyābhijātaṃ khalv eṣa vāritaḥ /
vidūṣaka pratiṣiddhā api vāmaiṣā jātiḥ /

Your faithful, loving queen,
Perched on a flower, athirst,
Is waiting for you still,
Nor tastes the honey first.
Arthur W. Ryder 1912, Shakuntala (in Kalidasa, Translations of Shakuntala and Other Works)
