Kovelon, in love and arts an
acumen,
Had as consort, Kannakhi of
his commune,
Won as beloved, Madhavi, a
courtesan,
And left her, to return to
pavilion.
Kannakhi’s love for him was
devotional.
Kovelon’s in return was
conventional.
His love for Madhavi was
passion ridden.
Madhavi’s love in turn was
emotional.
Madhavi was deserted and
forgotten.
But she did not desert the
ill gotten.
She stayed single against her
frailties,
And surpassed Kannakhi in all
chastity.
Love of passion and love of
emotion
Are for harmony a better combination.
Love of convenience and of
devotion
Hardly can contribute to its
elevation.
What made Kovelon return to
Kannakhi,
A woman with no art and
romance?
The marriage is irredeemable
bond
Above flesh, where return all
prodigal men.
