Of what avail if
A huge pair of hips and a trim
Midriff, nigh but hourglass like slim,
A pair of breasts of glorious grace,
And to add, goes a charming face,
And yet, if words are none so sweet,
Such of which all beauty to beat,
What of it, what of it, what of it!

The Sanskrit verse:
nitambah vishaalah katih madhya sukshmaa,
kucha-dvandvam atyanta bhavyam mukham cha |
vachah chet na kimchit rasaalam ramanyaah,
tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim ||
