Nor yield her back for fear of ill.

When shall my shafts with iron hail

My foeman, Raghu's son, assail,

Thick as the bees with eager wing

Beat on the flowery trees of spring?

O, let me meet my foe at length,

And strip him of his vaunted strength,

Fierce as the sun who shines afar

Stealing the light of every star.

Strong as the sea's impetuous might
