No Bráhman, scorning thee, will rest

Within the realm thou governest,

But all will fly indignant hence:

So great thy trespass and offence.

I marvel, when thy crime I see,

Earth yawns not quick to swallow thee;

And that the Bráhman saints prepare

No burning scourge thy soul to scare,

With cries of shame to smite thee, bent

Upon our Ráma's banishment.
