CANTO: MONSOON 

"The approaching season of Rain, dear love, 

Comes like a king in pride of power. 

The rain-laden clouds are its rutting war elephants; 

The lambent flashes of lightning 

Serve for its streaming pennons. 

And the reverberating thunder 

the rattle of its kettle-drums;

It is hailed by a host of lovers 

As the royal cavalcade is acclaimed

By crowds of supplicants
