[45. Young Beichan]
(Another version of the foregoing)
I
In London was Young Beichan born,
He long’d strange countries for to see;
But he was ta’en by a savage Moor
Who handled him right cruellie.
II
For he view’d the fashions of that land,
Their way of worship viewèd he;
But to Mahound or Termagant
Would Beichan never bend a knee.
