VILAS.

VISHNIA! {157a} lovely vishnia!

Lift thy branches higher;

For beneath thy branches,

Vilas {157b} dance delighted:

While Radisha {157c} dashes

From the flow’rs the dewdrops.

Vilas two conveying,

To the third he whispers:

“O be mine, sweet Vila!

Thou, with mine own mother,

In the shade shalt seat thee;

Silken vestments spinning,

Weaving golden garments.”
