Of Ráma and his consort stray.

Draw nigh, and wandering through the brake

With thy strange form her fancy take.

The Maithil dame with wondering eyes

Will took upon thy fair disguise,

And quickly bid her husband go

And bring the deer that charms her so,

When Raghu's son has left the place,

Still pressing onward in the chase,

Cry out, “O Lakshmaṇ! Ah, mine own!”
