Once out of her sight
He descended quickly from the palace;
And then he heard the sound of ankle bracelets
And hung back, gripped again in his heart.
EH Johnston:
But when he had gone out of her sight, he descended quickly from the palace roof ; then hearing the tinkling of her anklets he tarried again, gripped in his heart.
Linda Covill:
However, once she was no longer in sight, he came briskly out of the palace, only to hang back again, his heart contracting at the sound of her anklets.
