THE KURAL

1326. Sweeter is digestion than the meal: even so is the lovers' quarrel sweeter than the embrace.

1327. It is the one who yieldeth first who is the winner in lovers' quarrels : thou canst see it indeed at the hour of reconciliation.

1327. Verily, will she give some piquancy to the delights of our embrace by just feigning a quarrel for some time ?

1329. Oh, let me enjoy her frowning and her pouting a little more ! Only let night prolong her reign at my prayer.

1330. Bouderie is the charm of love : and the charm of that again is the sweet embrace at its close.
