Kural 1328

ஊடிப் பெறுகுவம் கொல்லோ நுதல்வெயர்ப்பக்
கூடலில் தோன்றிய உப்பு.

Ootip Perukuvam Kollo Nudhalveyarppak
Kootalil Thondriya Uppu

And shall we ever more the sweetness know of that embraceWith dewy brow; to which 'feigned anger' lent its piquant grace

Meaning

Will I enjoy once more through her dislike, the pleasure of that love that makes her forehead perspire?

Plain English meaning from the 19th-century prose translation by W. H. Drew and John Lazarus. The verse above is G. U. Pope's translation (1886).
