2.7.11

aniṣṭe subhagākāre saubhāgyena vikatthase
calaṃ hi tava saubhāgyaṃ nadyaḥ srota ivoṣṇage

'Why sleepest thou?' she cried, 'arise,
Peril is near, unclose thine eyes.
Ah, heedless Queen, too blind to know
Wnat floods of sin above thee flow!
Thy boasts of love and grace are o'er:
Thine is the show and nothing more.
His favour is an empty cheat,
A torrent dried by summer's heat.'

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1870, The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse
