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;
