Courtier. But see, Vasantasenā! Another cloud,

Sped by the fickle fury of the air—

A flood of arrows in his rushing streams,

His drum, the roaring thunder's mighty blare,

His banner, living lightning's awful gleams—

Rages within the sky, and shows him bold

'Mid beams that to the moon allegiance owe,

Like a hero-king within the hostile hold

Of his unwarlike foe.17

[83]

P. 142.9]

Vasantasenā. True, true. And more than this:

As dark as elephants, these clouds alone

Fall like a cruel dart—

With streaks of lightning and with white birds strewn—

To wound my wretched heart.

But, oh, why should the heron, bird of doom,

With that perfidious sound[66]

Of "Rain! Rain! Rain!"—grim summons to the tomb

For her who spends her lonely hours in gloom—

Strew salt upon the wound?18
