Teav is Homesick

Just then the group of elderly court ladies

Came together cordially and sincerely,

And pleaded with her immediately to change

All her old clothes for new.

Refusing to do as they said, she wept constantly

In the bedroom, refraining from food.

The elderly ladies asked what was the matter.

She said she was sad without her mother.
