1.31

gacchati puraḥ śarīraṃ dhāvati paścād asaṃstutaṃ cetaḥ /
cīnāṃśukam iva ketoḥ prativātaṃ nīyamānasya //
(iti niṣkrāntāḥ sarve)

It is my body leaves my love, not I;
My body moves away, but not my mind;
For back to her my struggling fancies fly
Like silken banners borne against the wind. (Exit.)
