And dares me forth with shout and cry.

Learn, trembler! that the valiant, they

Who yield no step in battle fray,

Will die a thousand deaths but ne'er

An unavenged dishonour bear.

Nor, O my love, be thou dismayed

Though Ráma lend Sugríva aid,

For one so pure and duteous, one

Who loves the right, all sin will shun,

Release me from thy soft embrace,
