“In the very courtyard of Shammi Sha Shaîting.

“The little birds of the field flutter gaily about.

“Hear how they twitter; yet, who would fear little birds,

“That fly from tree to tree giving [instead of lasting love] a gay whistle?

“In the very courtyards of Alldat’s grandson these birds flutter gaily about, yet who would fear them?

“Hear how they twitter, etc., etc., etc.
