The mingled riches of their scent;

With all the odorous sweets that fill

The breezy heights of Dardar's hill.

There by the gate the Sáras screamed,

And shrill-toned peacocks' plumage gleamed.

Its floors with deftest art inlaid,

Its sculptured wolves in gold arrayed,

With its bright sheen the palace took

The mind of man and chained the look,

For like the sun and moon it glowed,
