The wooing of a bride

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