### [c10.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.34)

\*If this should prove to be a picnic rig\* (goshthiyanam),  
\*Its occupants not peevishly inclined:\*  
\*Some noble lady's waiting carriage trig;\*  
\*Or rich man's coach, that leaves the town behind—\*  
\*And if it empty be, fate proving kind,\*  
\*'T would seem a godsend to my anxious mind.\*  
(Ryder, \*VI. 4.\*)
