^ EYN saw the project of his friend
Was well adapted to the end,
But yet to ad the double part
He yielded with reluctant heart;
For there the force of mighty love
Already with the statue strove.
Twere but fuperfluous to relate 7
What pafs'd when Morabec in ftate>
Did on the maiden's father wait.J
Soon is an eastern marriage made,
And this was but a week delay'd,
To give time, doubtless, to the lady
To get her cloaths and jewels ready.
Mean while, receiv'd as happy wooer,
Alafman paid his visits to her;
And every day the youthful two
Of one another fonder grew.
Sly Morabec had every day
A scheme for carrying her away;
But many a plan tho' well concerted
Was by cross circumstances thwarted.
At last, once with him as the fair
Went in his chaise to take the air,
(While Zeyn who knew what was defign'd
Rode with an anxious heart behind)
Ris two positions fuddenlyl
(Inftruaed by their matter's eye)}
fouling lash incessant ply, J
Their coursers urge to all their speed
Of which th' occasion flood in need.
The lady thought their rapid flight
Occahoned by their taking fright,
And, as the ground was smooth and plain,
It gave her very little pain;
But when far on the Bagdad road,
And miles remov'd from her abode,
she queftion'd Morabec with eyes
That fyoke suspicion and surprise.
He thought 'twas time now to relate,7
Zeyn's ffory from its earliest date,}
And what Ihe had t'exped from fate: J
To which the fair to reconcile
He prais'd the Genii's charming isle,
And palace that unrivall'd shone
With gold adorn'd, and precious stone.
Soon as th' unhappy maiden knew
The lov'd Alafman was untrue,
Would to a Genii facrifice
Her as a statue's bargain'd price!
Grief, indignation and amaze
Disfigure her late love ly face;
She rends the air with piercing cries, )
Tears pour in torrents from her eys,,
Her bosom heaves heart-breaking fighs.J
The prince, whose sympathizing ear
Cou'd not her lamentation bear,
Came up diftraded, dop'd the chaise,
And wou'd the injur'd fair release;
Then Morabec with clouded brow,
Is this confident with your vow?
If the ninth statue hill you hope,
If quick deftrutlion not your scope,
Retire, unthinking prince retire!
" Nor further tempt the Genii's ire."
But Zeyn by keened passion flung,
Thus gave rash licence to his tongue.
“ Curs'd be the fatal oath I swore,
“ And curs'd he that impos'd it more :
" His wrath can only make me die. ]
" By coward motives fway'd shall I <
" Be deaf to love and beauty's cry? (
Turn Morabec, the maid redore
" From whence her faithlefsly you bore."
