2.11

abhimukhe mayi saṃhṛtam īkṣitaṃ hasitam anyanimitakṛtodayam /
vinayavāritavṛttir atas tayā na vivṛto madano na ca saṃvṛtaḥ //
vidu na khalu dṛṣṭamātrasya tavāṅkaṃ samārohati /

When I was near, she could not look at me;
She smiled--but not to me--and half denied it;
She would not show her love for modesty,
Yet did not try so very hard to hide it.

Arthur W. Ryder 1912, Shakuntala (in Kalidasa, Translations of Shakuntala and Other Works)
