v3.c35.s8.138

“When for the first time, utters an offending word,
The husband, then begin to tremble violently
The limbs of the young wife; but still she knows not
To utter a single biting word—nor does she inform
Any of her friends about the matter;
She just casts her anxious lotus-eyes all round,
And her bright cheeks get covered
With white tears and shaking hairs.”
