[2155] Most piteously do you lament, and you, dear one, are embraced by your dear one. I ask you, whose appearance is that of human bodies: why do you weep here in the forest, disconsolate? Most piteously do you lament, and you, dear one, are embraced by your dear one. I ask you, whose appearance is that of human bodies: why do you wail here in the forest, disconsolate? Most piteously do you lament, and you, dear one, are embraced by your dear one. I ask you, whose appearance is that of human bodies: why do you sorrow here in the forest, disconsolate?
