Meneng Ningena Yenganoang Iyàena ena Heric Roben.
-> One more about weeping her from Herrick Robert.

Ea manedraiyàin caivo nongonin,
-> Sat she next to *the river*,

Nay nedrayam edaea, mayengaiyâng,
-> And sitting there, wept she,

Nay eri matiaiyâng atasangeng iyèaris simbeyin.
-> And made she deeper it *with a tear*.
