2.48

yad etat pūrṇendu-dyuti-haram udārākṛti paraṃ
mukhābjaṃ tanvaṅgyāḥ kila vasati yatrādhara-madhu |
idaṃ tat kiṃ pāka-druma-phalam idānīm atirasavyatīte 'smin
kāle viṣam iva bhaviṣyty asukhadam ||

This lotus-face of the slender-limbed woman, surpassing all else, robbing the full moon of its luster, / where indeed the nectar of her lower lip resides— / is this the fruit of a tree of retribution, which now, after its excessive sweetness has passed, / will become painful like poison, giving no happiness?
