Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Two rays of light are lengthened out, and the man gently touches them with the two beatings on the drum. Maiden, it truly is not so as thou, O maiden, fanciest. Two are thy mother's rays of light: the skin is guarded from the man.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
