7.23

bāṣpeṇa pratiṣiddhe 'pi jayaśabde jitaṃ mayā /
yat te dṛṣṭam asaṃskārapāṭalauṣṭhapuṭaṃ mukham //
bāla mātaḥ ka eṣaḥ /

The tears would choke you, sweet, in vain;
My soul with victory is fed,
Because I see your face again--
No jewels, but the lips are red.

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

Boy. Who is he, mother?
