चौपाई

तब सिय देखि भूप अभिलाषे। कूर कपूत मूढ़ मन माखे।। 
 उठि उठि पहिरि सनाह अभागे। जहँ तहँ गाल बजावन लागे।।
 लेहु छड़ाइ सीय कह कोऊ। धरि बाँधहु नृप बालक दोऊ।। 
 तोरें धनुषु चाड़ नहिं सरई। जीवत हमहि कुअँरि को बरई।।
 जौं बिदेहु कछु करै सहाई। जीतहु समर सहित दोउ भाई।। 
 साधु भूप बोले सुनि बानी। राजसमाजहि लाज लजानी।।
 बलु प्रतापु बीरता बड़ाई। नाक पिनाकहि संग सिधाई।। 
 सोइ सूरता कि अब कहुँ पाई। असि बुधि तौ बिधि मुहँ मसि लाई।।

दोहा/सोरठा

देखहु रामहि नयन भरि तजि इरिषा मदु कोहु। 
 लखन रोषु पावकु प्रबल जानि सलभ जनि होहु।।266।।
