Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ... SELECTIONS FROM THE RAM AY ANA EPIC OF RAMA, PRINCE OF INDIA JANAK, monarch of Videha, spake his message near and far, -- He shall win my peerless Sita, who shall bend my bow of war, -- Suitors came from farthest regions, warlike princes known to fame, Vainly strove to wield the weapon, left Videha in their shame.
