1. 



" Parted from my spouse, I am left alone : 





Left to stifle my heart's love : 







Left with the grief born on that day 



i> 





Thus mourneth Pattini. 





2. 



" My spouse has gone to trade 







To the great city Madura. 







How many gows is it distant f 







Say, Kali ; comfort me. 





3. 



*' Like the hare in moon midst, 







So lived we in fond love. 







My spouse is a good helpmate ; 







Why comes he not to this day ? 





4. 



" Offered they not for the bracelets f 





Has change come o'er his mind ? 







Or mayhap some other sorrow 







Has delayed my lord." 





5. 



Wiping tears that well in her eyes, 







Cheeks, body, back, all, 







E'en to her foot's sole, 







Lifeless as a log remain. 





6. 



To milk the cow she forbiddeth, 







Though the calves stand lowing ; 







Breaking the pinfolds they burst forth, 





By tens they scamper home.
