THEN Morabec, " your death alone
66 Wont for your perjuries atone. 0
“ Prince, you're no stranger to the art
66 Which magic powers to me impart;
“ This instant from the chaise recede,
“ (Dr, by our holy prophet's head,
66 Th' ill-fated darling of your foul,l
66 Become a monster fierce and foul,r
“ Shall thro' the neigh'bring forefts howl. J
With horror pale, the prince withdrew,
(That only threat cou'd him subdue)
And Morabec with doubled speed
Commanded that the chaise proceed.
They soon their house at Bagdad reach'd,
And onward with frelh horses ftretch'd.
The Ihorteft flop nor wou'd they make
Till they approach the Genii's lake,
Where all the three were ferry'd o'er
As Zeyn and Morabec before.
The king was conjur'd to appear,
When to his palace they drew near;
And when, as formerly, he came,
To the ninth statue Zeyn laid claim,
Presenting, but with aukward grace,
The maid that flood the unerring glass ;
Whom eagerly the king furvey'd,
Then gracious to Alafman said,
“ You did not ftridly keep your vow,
" But much for frailty I allow ;
“ Upon the whole, 'twas bravely done,
“ And the ninth statue fairly won:
“ It forthwith through the trackless air
“ A Genii (hall triumphant bear.
“ Before you're home, what e'er you haste,
“ 'Twill on its pedestal be plac'd."
Alafman to his fate submits,
And sullenly the Genii quits.
Him Morabec, with all his art,
In vain attempted to divert ;
With furious haste he homewards drove, )
And by that poor expedient ftrove>
To hulh th' upbraiding voice of love.J
For 'twas not ardor to possess
The statue made him onward press ;
As be that statue what it wou'd
It's utmost value never cou'd
Compensate for the wpnd'rous maid
• He to the Genii had betray'd.
Arriv'd, he to his mother goes
To her unbosoms all his woes,
Whose feelings they but Rightly touch.
Her passion for the statue such.
Then to the fubterraneous room,
Where diamond rays dispel the gloom,
They rufh'd with flutt'ring hearts and view'd 1
The highest pedestal, where flood>
A figure---but of flelh and blood ?j
And the ninth statue prov'd the lass,
Whose innocence had flood the glass.
“ Prince (said ffie smiling) much I fear
“ You'll be chagrin'd to 'find me here,
“ And think your labour .p,dprly paid,
" The recompence a simple-maid;
" Who in a company must (hew ill
'< Where every rival is a jewel."
" Ma'atn" (anfwer'd Zeyn) but as he tries
For what was past to apologize,
Approaching thunder's found was heard ;
And then the Genii's felf appear'd :
“ I give you joy (he cry'd) my son,
" YouodWappointing trial's done ;
# “ You by their discipline they've train'd
'' ImpettfoffTpafli^ns to command :
<, And now, that all their rubs are o'er,
" You'll relish ease and pleasure more.
" Be happy: to the nuptial bed
“ Let this unequall'd fair be led,
“ And always hold this maxim true,
“ She'll ne'er prove falfe, while constant you."
