Drunk on his power, thinking himself grand,
he sent some eunuchs, with a stern demand.
Though he was sov’reign over many lands,

He summoned sages, who took up the case.
Kings and all o-ther husbands would lose face.
“For folks like us to stifle this disgrace,
send her away and let her be replaced.”
