Her moonlike loveliness to-day,

And Káma's piercing shafts shall smite

Thine amorous bosom at the sight.

If in thy breast the longing rise

To make thine own the beauteous prize,

Up, let thy better foot begin

The journey and the treasure win.

If, giant Lord, thy favouring eyes

Regard the plan which I advise,

Up, cast all fear and doubt away
