moon of Regulus

Rash as a giddy moth that woos the flame
Kama seized the moment prepared to aim

Harasthu kincit pariluptadhairya ha 
Chandrodayam iva amburashi hi.

Like the moon's tug to the sea at rest
came passion stealin o'er the Hermit's breast.

- Canto III -
Kama Dahanam,     
Kumarasambhavam,
Kalidasa, Translation - Ralph T H Griffith
