You saw and beheld speech, and you heard; and to him you stretched, born with offspring, like a husband you perform radiant rites.
One (man) indeed seeing Speech has not seen her; another (man) hearing her has not heard her; butto another she delivers her person n as a loving wife well-attired presents herself to her husband.
One man hath ne'er seen Vak, and yet he seeth: one man hath hearing but hath never heard her. But to another hath she shown her beauty as a fond well-dressed woman to her husband.
