PROVERBS
TURKISH AND PERSIAN.
I.
All skirts extended of thy mantle hold,
When angel hands from heav’n are scattering gold.
II.
Sects seventy-two, they say, the world infest,
And each and all lie hidden in thy breast.
III.
One staff of Moses, slight as it appears,
Aye breaks in shivers Pharaoh’s thousand spears.
