O Raghu's son, hast boasted now.

What hero, when the war-cry rings,

Vaunts the high race from which he springs,

Or seeks, when warriors meet and die,

His own descent to glorify?

Weakness and folly show confessed

In every vaunt thou utterest,

As when the flames fed high with grass

Detect the simulating brass.

Dost thou not see me standing here
