Translation
Noong sandaling iyon, ang haring mapagkaloob at makapangyarihan, bagaman may mukhang maliwanag sa galak, ay lubhang namangha. Sa kanyang paglakad, ang kanyang kagandahang-anyo ay tila dinidikitan ng mga titig ng mga dalagang makalangit—karapat-dapat na parang iisang sisidlan para sa inuming madhu.
