DISTANT LAD IN JUNGLE
a. The distant life of Amagem was a great defence
Majority in contemporary jungle were wild in nudity
Many corrupt youths were devoured in every place
They fell victim outside the bounds of chastity.
b. Distance was the high fence that formed the bounds
It protected Amagem everywhere he went
His youthfulness was distantly tight and sound;
He kept himself, living in chastity as goodly student.
c. Contemporary jungle was wildly known for horror;
Many among moon, sun and stars were like preys
Amagem was kept too far for them to devour:
He was secured within bounds of distance far away.
d. At a time when evil bound many with shackles,
Amagem saw Distance keeping him save in jungle.
