Rondagui
, whom I killed and my heart regrets for ever.
From the Persian of Rondagui (tenth century).
SEE YOU HAVE DANCERS
See you have dancers and wine and a girl like one of the angels
(If they exist),
And find a clear stream singing near its birth and a bed of moss
(If moss exists),
For loving and singing to the dancers and drinking and forgetting hell
(If hell exists),
