Thou shalt not gain thine impious will,

O thou whose thoughts are bent on ill,

Thou from whose guilty hand descend

These sinful blows my life to end.

Now to the forest will I go,

Thy cherished plans to overthrow,

And bring my brother, free from stain,

His people's darling, home again.

And Ráma, when again he turns,

Whose glory like a beacon burns,
