Some villagers came, and took my rupees and watch.

I took off my wedding-ring, and twisted it in my hair, and replaced the guard.

I tore off the skirt of my dress to bring water in, but was no use, for when I returned my beloved's eyes were fixed, and, though I called and tried to restore him, and poured water into his mouth, it only rattled in his throat.

He never spoke to me again.
I held him in my arms till he sank gradually down.

I felt frantic, but could not cry.
