The prayers of saints and prophets call on God alone.
Th’ existence of earth’s sovereign’s empty pomp and pride,
The glories of a prophet in his God abide.
The names of kings on coins are used a little while;
The name of Ahmed there is ever seen to smile.[159]220
That name of Ahmed covers all the prophets still;[160]
As hundred, when ’tis said, ninety includes as well.
Reflections such as these would never have an end.
So turn we through our hare and lion’s tale to wend.
The hare but slowly towards the lion took his way.
