SECTION 3. POETRY
Read the following extract and complete the activities.
Tansen, the singer, in great Akbar's Court
Won great renown; through the Badshahi Fort
His voice rang like the sound of silver bells
And Akbar ravished heard. The story tells
How the King praised him, gave him many a gem,
Called him chief jewel in his diadem.
One day the singer sang the Song of Fire,
The Deepak Rág, and burning like a pyre
His body burst into consuming flame.
To cure his burning heart a maiden came
And sang Malhar, the song of water cold,
Till health returned, and comfort as of old.
- Mighty thy Teacher must be and divine,
-Great Akbar said; magic indeed is thine,
Learnt at his feet. Then happy Tansen bowed
And said,
Beyond the world's ignoble crowd,
Scorning its wealth, remote and far-away
He dwells within a cave of Himalay. -
Could I but see him once, desired the King,
- Sit at his feet awhile, and listening
Hear his celestial song, I would deny
My state and walk in robes of poverty.
Then said Tansen. - As you desire, Huzoor,
Indeed 'twere better as a slave and poor
To come; for he, lifted above the things
Of earth, disdains to sing to earthly kings.

a. Akbar followed Tansen, dressed miserably.
