चौपाई

जगु भय मगन गगन भइ बानी। लखन बाहुबलु बिपुल बखानी।। 
 तात प्रताप प्रभाउ तुम्हारा। को कहि सकइ को जाननिहारा।।
 अनुचित उचित काजु किछु होऊ। समुझि करिअ भल कह सबु कोऊ।। 
 सहसा करि पाछैं पछिताहीं। कहहिं बेद बुध ते बुध नाहीं।।
 सुनि सुर बचन लखन सकुचाने। राम सीयँ सादर सनमाने।। 
 कही तात तुम्ह नीति सुहाई। सब तें कठिन राजमदु भाई।।
 जो अचवँत नृप मातहिं तेई। नाहिन साधुसभा जेहिं सेई।। 
 सुनहु लखन भल भरत सरीसा। बिधि प्रपंच महँ सुना न दीसा।।

दोहा/सोरठा

भरतहि होइ न राजमदु बिधि हरि हर पद पाइ।। 
 कबहुँ कि काँजी सीकरनि छीरसिंधु बिनसाइ।।231।।
