sbair bidasari : A Malay Poem . 
~ 9 Sampeilah baginda kadalam hutau 
Tubohma luka berkratkratan 
Kina terkait diiri rotan 
Tambahan putri dangan kabratan. 
Tiadah terbaua tuboh si a din 
Oleh baginda dipimpm jari. 
•33 Sangatlah bias didalam hati 
Meliatkan lialnia adinda sitz 
Sapanjang jalan baginda berhinti 
Baring kahandama baginda teruti. 
Dua bulan dua hari dan masa 
Limahlah badan liteh dirasa 
Ditanggongma tiada lagi kwasa 
Truslah baginda suatii dewasa: 
3* Truslah kakampong s’o rang soudagar 
Jalinfa sulit teriaki sukar 
The Prince arriving within the wild forest, 
His body was wounded and lacerated. 
Being caught by the thorns of the ratan— 
Whilst the Princess walked more and more heavily. 
31 Her trouble became indescribable. 
Grieving to behold the condition of his wife, 
Who was unable to support her own person, 
The Prince led her bv the hand. 
33 Deeply grieved was he in heart 
To see the state of the beloved Ladv. 
•i 
At every step the Prince paused, 
Yielding to all that she wished. 
35 Two months and two days having now passed. 
And her body become weak and languid 
Without strength left any longer to support herself. 
Passed the Prince upon a lime, 
3? Passed to the kampong of a merchant. 
The road of which was uncertain and very difficult.
