So have I neither joy nor fame--

But what I can do, that I will.

I have a fretted brickwork tomb

Upon a hill on the right hand,

Hard by a close of apricots,

Upon the road of Samarcand;

Thither, O Vizier, will I bear

This man my pity could not save,

And plucking up the marble flags,

There lay his body in my grave.
