From every care of pressing need.

Full is the moon, and fierce and strong

Impetuous Sarjú[628] roars along

As though Ayodhyá's crowds ran out

To greet their king with echoing shout.

In this sweet time of ease and rest

No care disturbs Sugríva's breast,

The foe that marred his peace o'erthrown,

And queen and realm once more his own.

Alas, a harder fate is mine,
