“I will not marry him, Mother!

I do not wish to ‘live like a lady,’

Lower me in a grave with those Towels![[70]]

Better to lie in a coffin than to see his face.”

“O fortune-teller, how long will I live in this world

Without my sweetheart?

Granny-Pigeon,

My Heart, Nenka, tell me the truth,

Is my lover alive and in health?
