Ere she arrived,
.................... her lover derides her.
Sought to advise her
.......................... to forego this bliss.
They had dreamt of this,
.....................and were all prepared
For ardour,
............... but not for events like this.
She clung to their passion,
............................... vowed devotion,
Behaved as youth must do
......................., .... he then proposed
A death-pact if consent
............................ was not motioned
By acceptance from kin,
..................... now their staunch foes.
What could they do,
................ the portents were against
Such senselessness,
............ but was time their defence.?
