plenty of cajoling: the lover falling at your feet, the pleasure of passionate
kissing—and such other pleasures(-0, it is a festival of joy!) 1120. Intoxicated with pride I found some reason (for a quarrel) although in fact

woman, he only loves to watch your face when your eyes are hopping mad
with jealousy. 1130. For translation vide ŚP S. No. (256.96) supra 1131. Dear boy, don't tease (lit. cheat, deceive) her by calling her by the names
