Whom, when they came without the purdah's folds, A voice, tender and eager, filled and charmed With trembling music, saying, "Ye are come From far, fair Sirs! and ye have seen my Lord — Yea, worshipped — for he is become a Buddh, World -honored, holy, and delivers men, And journeyeth hither. Speak ! for, if this be, Friends are ye of my House, welcome and dear. ' ' THE LIGHT OF ASIA. 171 Then answer made Tripusha, ''We have seen That sacred Master, Princess! we have bowed Before his feet ; for ...who was lost a Prince Is found a greater than the King of kings. Under the Bodhi-tree by Phalgu's bank That which shall save the world hath late been wrought By him — the Friend of all, the Prince of all — Thine most, High Lady! from whose tears men win The comfort of this Word the Master speaks. Lo ! he is well, as one beyond all ills, Uplifted as a god from earthly woes, Shining with risen Truth, golden and clear. Moreover as he entereth town by town, Preaching those noble ways which lead to peace, The hearts of men follow his path as leaves Troop to wind or sheep draw after one Who knows the pastures.
