has reached You from along distance—leaving far behind the tree of Her hus-
band, breaking through the bridge of social convention, and forcibly crossing
the hills of elder relatives. Coming here because of fresh feelings of love for
You, that river has now received Your shelter, but now You are trying to turn
Her back by the waves of unfavorable words. How is it that You are spreading
this attitude?’ ’’
