HYMN XLV

A charm against jealousy 1. Brought hitherward from Sindhu, from a folk of every mingled    race,   Fetched from afar, thou art I deem, a balm that cureth.    jealousy. 2. As one with water quencheth fire, so calm this lover’s    jealousy,   Like heat of fire that burneth here, or flame that rageth through    the wood.
