In heaven above, in earth, and hell,

A mighty host obeys thy hest:

Here let it still, I pray thee, rest.

Thy glorious son, though yet a boy,

Will in the fight that fiend destroy.

Ráma alone with me shall go:

Be happy, victor of the foe.”

He spoke: the monarch gave assent,

And Ráma to the hermit lent.

So to his woodland home in joy
