Then by her woe and fear o'erthrown

She wept again and made her moan.

As long she wept in grief and dread,

Scarce conscious of the words she said,

The wicked giant onward fled

And bore her through the air.

As firm he held the Maithil dame,

Still wildly struggling, o'er her frame

With grief and bitter misery came

The trembling of despair.
