Page 192 - Hunger and thirst oppress me sore, And I am faint with toil : Thou shouldst not stay a bird of prey Who claims his rightful spoil. They say thou art a glorious king, And justice is thy care : Then justly reign in thy domain, Nor rob the birds of air.' Then cried the king : ' A cow or deer For thee shall straightway bleed, Or let a ram or tender lamb Be slain, for thee to feed. Mine oath forbids me to betray My little twice-born guest : See how she clings with trembling wings To her protector's breast.

It has been conceived, that the sacrifice was not real but typical, and that the form of sacrificing only was performed upon the victim, after which it was set at liberty. The text of this passage, however, is unfavourable to such a notion, as the metamorphosis of the blood of the kine into a river, certainly implies...
Page 115 - Seeta heard the cry, and entreated Lakshman to fly to his brother's rescue. He was unwilling to go, but yielded to her earnestness, and she was left alone. This being the state of affairs which Ravana desired, he now left his hiding-place, and came forward...
Page 123 - Aid her, ye Spirits ! Ah, all wild with dread Each nymph and faun before the fiend had fled. Where, where is Rama ? Rama roams afar, And Ravan bears her to his magic car. With angry threats the giant tried to still Her cries for aid, but very long and shrill Rang forth her lamentation through the air, As of one raving in her great despair :
Page 195 - Their parents' joy and hope and stay ; Who welcome to their homes the guest, And banish envy from their breast ; With reverent study love to pore On precepts of our sacred lore ; Who work not, speak not, think not sin, In body pure and pure within ; Whom avarice can ne'er mislead To guilty thought or sinful deed ; Whose fancy never seeks to roam From the dear wives who cheer their home ; Whose hero souls cast fear away When battling in a rightful fray ; Who speak the truth with dying breath Undaunted...
