Shorter Pieces of Arabian Poetry: On The Ruin of the Barmecides

Arabian Poetry ยท 1 passage

1

NO, Barmec! time hath never shown So sad a change of wayward fate; Nor sorrowing mortals ever known A grief so true, a loss so great. Spouse of the world! thy soothing breast Did balm to every woe afford; And now, no more by thee caressed, The widowed world bewails her lord.
