The moon should just give up

This is a part of 'project 110, going back and re-filling', writing is happening 8ish months after the date.

That the moon,
weighted in comparison with your face, should rise,
makes clear, my lady of downcast countenance,
how light it has proved on balance.

- Rajashekhara, Vidhyakara's Anthology of Sanskrit Poetry (10th Century CE) edited by David HH Engalls
