When Abd-el-Quader, undertaker's son.

Falls in his fits of folly, he binds round

His figure with a cord and does not lie

Inert and stiff. But still they scorpions see

In Altai's hand, Chaouch of Aïssaoua.

Faradjy--fop--eats fire and fig-leaves now;

The while Hasan the Rat excites him on

To doughty deeds with his loud tambourine.

Playing with all his might and all his soul.

They dragged the hedge-rows green of El Qettár
