XI

With me along the strip of Herbage strown

That just divides the desert from the sown,

Where name of Slave and Sultán is forgot⁠—

And Peace to Mahmúd on his golden Throne!

XII

A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,

A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread⁠—and Thou

Beside me singing in the Wilderness⁠—

Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!

XIII

Some for the Glories of This World; and some

Sigh for the Prophet’s Paradise to come;

Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go,

Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!
