With me let blissful years be spent,

For ne'er thy choice shalt thou repent.

No deed of mine shall e'er displease

My darling as she lives at ease.

Thy love for mortal man resign,

And to a worthier lord incline.

Ah foolish lady, seeming wise

In thine own weak and partial eyes,

By what fair graces art thou held

To Ráma from his realm expelled?
