" So all was comely and the houses trim Throughout Kapilavastu, while the Prince ' Came forth in painted car, which two steers drew, Snow-white, with swinging dewlaps, and huge humps Wrinkled against the carved and lacquered yoke. Goodly it was to mark the people's joy Greeting their Prince ; and glad Siddartha waxed 74 be Xigbt of At sight of all those liege and friendly folk Bright-clad and laughing as if life were good. " Fair is the world, " he said, " it likes me well ! And light and kind ...these men that are not kings, And sweet my sisters here, who toil and tend ; What have I done for these to make them thus ? Why, if I love them, should those children know ? I pray take up yon pretty Sakya boy Who flung us flowers, and let him ride with me. How good it is to reign in realms like this ! How simple pleasure is, if these be pleased Because I come abroad ! How many things I need not if such little households hold Enough to make our city full of smiles ! Drive, Channa ! through the gates, and let me see More of this gracious world I have not known.
