You, full moon! You are among the
stars like milk in a cup. You are cool in white. You don’t know that you are
insulting me when my lover is absent. I know that you are endowed with good conduct
and character. I am seeking a help from you. My lover is hiding himself
somewhere. Please show me where he is. There is nobody can hide from your sight.
He is hiding from my sight. It is not good to lie the event what one have seen
in his own eyes in the court. I hope you do not lie. If you hide him from my
sight, I shall give you punishment to go reducing now onward. The heroine
speaks these words to moon.
