“Now thus he warbled to the King—

Mazinderan is the bower of spring,

My native home; the balmy air

Diffuses health and fragrance there;

So tempered is the genial glow,

Nor heat nor cold we ever know;

Tulips and hyacinths abound

On every lawn; and all around

Blooms like a garden in its prime.

Fostered by that delicious clime.
