1With forelock loosened o'er his brow here comes the wooer of the bride, p. a228 Seeking a husband for this maid, a wife for this unmarried man. 2Wooer! this girl hath toiled in vain, going to others' marriages. Now to her wedding, verily, wooer! another maid shall come. 3Dhātar upholds the spacious earth, upholds the sky, upholds the Sun. Dhātar bestow upon this maid a husband suited to her wish!
