Here sleep the mellow lyre's enchanting keys;

Here the wrought table's darkly polish'd plain,

Proffers light lore to much-enduring ease;

Enamelled clocks here strike the silver bell;

Here Persia spreads the web of many dies;

Around, on silken couch, soft cushions swell,

That Stambol's viziers proud might not despise.

The golden lamp here sheds its pearly light,

Within the cedar'd panels, dusky pale;
