And dost thou know her story ?
Venus.
Thou shalt hear it.
She was an Indian, with a soul all love.
And when her husband died, in youth and strength, She left his couch, and to the Brahmin priests Made the irrevocable vow.' In vain THE GOLDEN MOUNTAINS. Ill Her friends flocked round, advised, dissuaded, wept ; — The words were uttered, and must be fulfilled.
And when they spake to her of torturing fire, She answered not, but with a look as calm And mild as the fair morn itself, arose.
And thrust... her finger into a blazing lamp.
Holding it there unmoved. Then she stood up, 'And putting into her palm a burning coal She strewed it o'er with incense, and diffused Its fragrance round on those who pitying wept : So by that act she silenced all entreaty.
And they prepared the funeral pile for both.
The morning sun arose — the form so dear Was bathed in holy waters : on the pile They placed him, arboured o'er with boughs and leaves And perfumes from Sabsea. She meanwhile Took final leave of all she loved on earth, Her mother and her children ; from her wrists And neck displacing gold and gems, she gave These parting presents to her kindred, who Keoeived, but covered them with tears and kisses, And fain would have resumed the former theme.
