III.
The Matrons' Spinning Song.
Translation. Oars to ply the spinning wheel : Why do we abide with another ? Why do we go and weep with another ? And let go the fullness of our hearta? We are queens of our own house : Why do we talk of others' doings? Why do we endure the coquetries of the
world 2 Matrons, we should keep the world to onr
Belves. Why should we enthral the heart of any one ? Why should we suffer ridieule in the world. In the end we have to die: We may not go with any other. Why do we make a display in the world? Ours to forego pleasure and endure pain. All are of earth, to the earth we muot return: Why mount a bed to sleep?
Sahiye, apne nål vaeh? rahise.
Kiun kisi de chit lablanâ ? Kinn jag nun paid hasana ? ABài ôrak nai mar jânâ: Kisi due de nål nahin jânâ. Kian jag vich dhům machal ? Sakh chbadke, dakh nâi pâ. Sab miționi, mitfi ho jana: Kiui sejai te chaph sonâ?
