HYMN XLV

A charm against jealousy

1Brought hitherward from Sindhu, from a folk of every mingled
  race,
 Fetched from afar, thou art I deem, a balm that cureth.
  jealousy.
2As 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.
