Oh, may my father be ransom for those supple forms and eyes!
O my father! Cloaks and eyes
From among them, a spearman and an archer stand guard.
Shielding from them a lancer and archer

For these are fresh, slender spears,
So these are recurring downpours
And these are languid eyes.
And these, downpours recurring
