The Music of Hindostan c7.33

c7.33

1. Two pret-ty boys there were Un-der a gu-ru’s care.
2. One day the Ra-jah came, Asked of their house and name.
3. In days that are now no more They sojourned in Ab-bot-pur.
4. Their moth-er, Con-sī-la fair, To Das-rat their fa-ther bare.
5. The names of the chil-dren are Rā-ma and Laksh-ma-na.
6. Forth they were cast from home, Far in the woods to roam.
7. Mes-sen-gers came, but they Would not the word o-bey.
8. But when they grew to men Home they re-turned a-gain,
9. Marched to the Ra-jah’s throne, Slew him that sat there-on.
10. Now by high God’s de-cree, At their re-turn, I see.
