None can say I am remiss, and heedless of thy dismal fate;

Love comes to prompt me every hour, he will not let my zeal abate.

If occasion call, I yield myself, my soul to set thee free;

Take this offering if thou wilt, I wait thy word on bended knee.

Dost thou suffer, noble lady, by these fancies overwrought?

Ah, my soul is filled with sorrow at the agonizing thought;

For to know that Vindaraja languishes, oppressed with care,

Is enough to make death welcome, if I could but rescue her.

Yes, the world shall know that I would die not only for the bliss

Of clasping thee in love's embrace and kindling at thy tender kiss.
