Canto X. Rávan Asleep.

Apart a dais of crystal rose

With couches spread for soft repose,

Adorned with gold and gems of price

Meet for the halls of Paradise.

A canopy was o'er them spread

Pale as the light the moon beams shed,

And female figures,[816] deftly planned,

The faces of the sleepers fanned,

There on a splendid couch, asleep
