He raised his helm, and said,
‘Go free, brave Sala; ride and tell thy king
We follow thee to rescue from his hands
The prisoners he withholds:’ That is my tale.
Allah is great, and what he doth to-day
To-morrow he may undo.
K.This courteous Christian
Is but a fool: for had he kept thee fast,
He might have had his men in thy exchange.
Sa. No less now must thou grant them.
