On every side, five leagues around,

All smooth and level lay the ground,

With fresh green grass that charmed the sight

Like sapphires blent with lazulite.

There the Wood-apple hung its load,

The Mango and the Citron glowed,

The Bel and scented Jak were there,

And Apelá with fruitage fair.

There, brought from Northern Kuru, stood

Rich in delights, the glorious wood,
