This strong desire, this eager will,
Befits a gentle lady ill:
But when I first beheld, its look
My breast with fascination took.
See, golden hair its flank adorns,
And sapphires tip its branching horns.
In plain words: Sita admits that such a strong wish does not suit a gentle lady. But the deer, with its golden hair and sapphire-tipped antlers, has completely charmed her.
