And men who washed, and men who sewed,

And thralls who mid the herds abode;

And fishers of the flood, and they

Who played and sang, and women gay;

And virtuous Bráhmans, Scripture-wise,

Of life approved in all men's eyes;

These swelled the prince's lengthened train,

Borne each in car or bullock wain.

Fair were the robes they wore upon

Their limbs where red-hued unguents shone.
