To monsieur Mahomet’s paradise.
“Thalaba knew that his death-hour was come,
And on he leapt, and springing up,
Into the idol’s heart
Hilt deep he drove the sword.
The ocean-vault fell in, and all were crushed.
In the same moment at the gate
Of paradise, Oneiza’s Houri-form,
Welcomed her husband to eternal bliss.”
