Down there, where, helpless, you were limed.

Our fingers clasped, and dragging me a pace,

You struggled up.

It is a bitter Cup,

That now for naught, you turn away your face.

I shall remember this for aye and aye.

Whate'er may come,

Although my lips are dumb,

My spirit holds you to that yesterday.

IN THE TENTS OF AKBAR
