Welcomed undeterred, when the king as planned step on door
Led him straight to the table with dainty cups on in store
Scores of cups of myraid sizes, and shapes were arrayed
And each contained a delicious dish, worthy to be tried.
Finding the king smacking his lips, she implored gently
"Please relish the contents of each to tell its taste pertly
Falling to every cup, the. king said in wonder without dislike
"Though each's different in hue and shape, they taste alike.
"Hark your Majesty! you are right and they are the same
Despite kept in tantalising cups, called by a different name
Likewise, the enjoyment's one and the same though derived
From women of different classes, ages, charms." she averred.
Listening
monarch joined his plams forthwith and stept out
With a determination to be a monogamist out and out.
The lady thus saved the chastity from total extinction
Besides blessings from the Goddess and worldly distinction.
