The fair one, by her husband's side

Who matched heaven's minstrel monarch,[312] cried:

“How bind they on their woodland dress,

Those hermits of the wilderness?”

There stood the pride of Janak's race

Perplexed, with sad appealing face.

One coat the lady's fingers grasped,

One round her neck she feebly clasped,

But failed again, again, confused

By the wild garb she ne'er had used.
