Chapter 133

ஊடலுவகை

He is flawless; but I do pout So that his loving ways show out

Fading first, love blooms and outlives The petty pricks that pouting gives

Is there a heaven like sulk beneath Of hearts that join like water and earth?

In long pout after embrace sweet A weapon is up to break my heart

Sweeter than meal is digestion And sulk in love than union

The yielder wins in lover's pout Reunited joy brings it out

Shall not our pouting again give The dew-browed joy of joint love?

Sulk on O belle of shining jewels! Prolong O night! our delight swells!

Bouderie is lovers' delight Its delight grows when they unite
