Black-ey'd Susan.
All in the Downs the fleet was moor'd, The streamers waving in the wind, When blaek-ey'd Susan came on board; Oh! where shall I my true love find? Tell me, ye jovial sailors, tell me true, Does my sweet William sail among your erew?
William, who high upon the yard, Roek'd with the billows to and fro, Soon as her well-known voiee he heard, He sigh'd, and east his eyes below: The eord glides swiftly thro' his glowing hands, And quick as lightning on the deek he stands.
So the sweet lark, high pois'd in air, Shuts elose his pinions to his breast, If ehanee his mate's shrill eall he hear, And drops at onee into her nest: The noblest eaptain in the British fleet Might envy William's lips those kisses sweet.
O Susan, Susan, lovely dear, My vows shall ever true remain; Let me kiss off that falling tear, We only part to meet again: Change as ye list, ye winds, my heart shall be The faithful eompass, that still points to thee.
Believe not what the landsmen say, Who tempt with doubts thy eonstant mind; They'll tell thee, sailors, when away, In every port a mistress find! Yes, yes, believe them, when they tell thee so For thou art present wheresoe'er I go. ​If to far India's coast we sail, Thy eyes are seen in diamonds bright, Thy breath is Afric's spicy gale, Thy skin is ivory so white; Thus ev'ry beauteous objeet that I view, Wakes in my soul some charm of lovely Sue.
Tho' battle calls me from thy arms, Let not my pretty Susan mourn; Tho' cannons roar, yet, safe from harm, William shall to his dear return: Love turns aside the balls that round me fly, Lest precious tears should drop from Susan's eye.
The boatswain gave the dreadful word, The sails their swelling bosoms spread, No longer must she stay on board, They kiss'd-she sigh'd-he hung his head; Her less'ning boat, unwilling, rows to land, Adieu, she cry'd, and way'd her lily hand.
# A Moslem Seeker after God/intro

Introduction
By Dr. J. Rendel Harris
AL-GHAZALI was a rare combination of scholar and saint, of the orthodox Moslem and the aberrant Sufi. This work is a real contribution to the history of religion, and will have a peculiar value which attaches to Sufism at the present time. On the one hand we have the anthropologists engaged in the task (and for the most part successfully engaged) of tracing all religions to a common root, or roots, in the constitution and the fears of primitive man; on the other hand we have the mystics, of whom the Sufi is a leading representative, who are occupied in demonstrating experimentally that all religions which start at the bottom find their way to the top.
William Penn said something in the same direction when he affirmed that all good men were of the same religion, and that they would know one another when the livery was off. But what did he mean by taking the livery off? The abstinence from rites, ceremonies and the like is a negative process which certainly would not satisfy ​the genuine Sufi. He would say with St. Paul, "Not that we would be unclothed, but rather clothed upon, that mortality may be swallowed up of life." That is real mystic language, and suggests that we shall know one another, not so much by being denuded of tradition and superstition (however desirable the process may be in some points of view), as by putting on the robe of light and sitting down in the heavenly places with Jesus Christ, and with any one else whom He calls into His companionship.
Al-Ghazali tells us in his Confessions that he found the true way of life in Sufism, that is, in Pantheism, yet he remained an orthodox Moslem, that is, a Transcendentalist. At the present time, when the effects of a war of unheard and unequalled severity are still perplexing men, the Transcendent and the Immanent views of God are alike hard put to it. Sufism is on its back, Transcendentalism can scarcely keep its feet. It is a poor time of day for seeing God in all, almost as ill a time for believing Him to be over all, Where speculation fails, or limps along with lame feet or with broken wing, there must be some other way of taking us to God Himself, beyond reason and safer than imagination. Al-Ghazali found it, when he abandoned his lecture-room and went into the wilderness. While he still continued to recite the formulas, which affirm the Unity of God and the authority of His Apostle, he found his way into ​the Sufi inner sanctuary, where one understands that
"he who lies,
Folded in favour on the Sultan’s breast, Needs not a letter nor a messenger."
The book tells us something about this side of his experience in the Quest of Life, and when the story is finished we are reminded not to seek the Living among the dead, but to believe that the same Lord is rich unto all that call upon Him in truth.

# A Moslem Seeker after God/preface

Preface
THERE are a score of lives of Mohammed, the great Arabian Prophet, in the English language, yet there is no popular biography of the greatest of all Moslems since his day, Al-Ghazali. Even the Encyclopœdia Britannica gives only scant information. Professor Duncan B. Macdonald prepared a life of Al-Ghazali with special reference to his religious experiences and influence in a paper published in the twentieth volume of "The Journal of the American Oriental Society" (1899), but now out of print. His scholarly investigations and conclusions, however, deal with Al-Ghazali’s inner experiences and his philosophy, rather than with his environment and the events of his life. We acknowledge our great indebtedness to his paper and to the original Arabic sources on which it was based, especially the introduction to the Commentary on the Ihya by Sayyid Murtadha in ten volumes and entitled Ithaf assa'ade, I have found additional material in Al-Ghazali’s writings and other books mentioned in the bibliography given in the appendix of this book, especially the Tabaqat ash-shafai'ya by As-Subqi, who wrote long before Murtadha and to whom Macdonald refers, but whose work he did not use.
​The study of Al-Ghazali’s life and writings will, more than anything else, awaken a deeper sympathy for that which is highest and strongest in the religion of Islam; for the student of his works learns to appreciate Islam at its best. As Jalal-uddin says:
"Fools buy false coins because they are like the true. If in the world no genuine minted coin Were current, how would forgers pass the false? Falsehood were nothing unless truth were there, To make it specious. 'Tis the love of right Lures men to wrong. Let poison but be mixed With sugar, they will cram it into their mouths. Oh, cry not that all creeds are vain! Some scent Of truth they have, else they would not beguile."
There is a real sense in which Al-Ghazali may be used as a schoolmaster to lead Moslems to Christ. His books are full of references to the teaching of Christ. He was a true seeker after God.
Islam is the prodigal son, the Ishmael, among the non-Christian religions; this is a fact we may not forget. Now we read in Christ's matchless parable of the prodigal how "When he was yet a great way off his father saw him and ran out to meet him and fell on his neck and kissed him." Have missionaries always had this spirit? No one can read the story of Al-Ghazali’s life, so near and yet so far from the Kingdom of God, so eager to enter and yet always groping for the doorway, without ​fervently wishing that Al-Ghazali could have met a true ambassador of Christ. Then surely this great champion of the Moslem faith would have become an apostle of Christianity in his own day and generation. By striving to understand Al-Ghazali we may at least better fit ourselves to help those who, like him, are earnest seekers after God amid the twilight shadows of Islam. His life also has a lesson for us all in its devout Theism and in its call to the practice of the Presence of God.
