Here Sujah,[[37]] in his happier hour,

Poor victim of a brother’s hate!

Enjoy’d the transient sweets of power,

Bright contrast to his darker fate.

Here Heav’n display’d its vengeful ire,

And Meerun[[38]] felt the fatal blow;

Here fell the retributive fire,

That laid the foul assassin low.

Where once the minstrel’s voice was heard,

Now nightly sounds the jackal’s yell;
