The fault were greater if, with wit full-grown,

The stripling dared to ask for a dinar,

Than that the boy cried 'Pluck Sitara down

And give her me to play with!' 'T is for him

To have no bounds to his belief in thee:

For thee it also is to let her shine

Lustrous and lonely, so best serving him!"


Ask not one least word of praise!

Words declare your eyes are bright?
