Story of Zeyn Alasman, Prince of Balsora
Continued.
'wyn, (that was the villian's name)
I'hefe little oversights, t' inflame ;
I revenge make him furmize,
at he fafpeded they were spies,
'/ho trait'roufly to Bagdad came
lock'd under a ficticious name ;
A hence he inferr'd the common weal
Requir'd both Should be put in jail ;
.id :hercfore humbly mov'd the may'r
Zon'd order them a lodging there:
As they'd no party to befriend 'em,
1 variant issued t' apprehend 'em.
But Morabec, who got a hint 7
nhac the falfe accuser meant, >
To visit him directly went;)
Conveying in his fplended chariot
(It was the fafeft way to carry't)
A purse whole sides, ofnet work, hold
Abundance of persuasive gold.
He told the Alderman he came
I 0 fee him in the Prince's name,
V^o for him greatest value had,
And for his friendship would be glad;
Then gently flip'd into his hand
The purse, which pieces broad distend.
The purse with raptures Mefwyn view'd.
And, as he took it, grateful bow'd ;
Bade Morabec the Prince assure
He'd serve him with his utmost power ;
And if agreeable, next day
His duty wou'd in person pay.
Away, then instantly he ran,
And ttop't the mifehiefhe began :
All he had spoke before upfaid,
Maintain'd the ilory that had spread
Was all a curled imposition !—
The ftrr.ngeis were of high condition.
And nel of worth and honour ftri&,
Deferviag most profound reaped,
Whom to imprison were a pity :--+
The freedom rather of the city,
In box of gold, and nicely carv'd,
Their shining qualities deferv'd.
Next day he, as appointed, waited
On Zeyn, and earnestly entreated,
That he might his commands receive
To shew how much he was his slave,
Zeyn told what he and Morabec
Were traveling up and down to seek,
What disappointments they had met.
But that they weie purfamg yet ;
And alk't if he knew ladies any
Whose qualities would tuit the Genii.
The ugly burgo-mafter hereT
His mouth dillorted, in a sneer, >
And feinted a malicious leer. J
“ Prince, said he, I'm persuaded no man
'• Ere made such an cfay on woman ;
" 'Tis not a more romantic notion
" To search for the factual motion :
" And you with greater reason would
" Attempt to fed me longitude.
" But after all if ever earth
" To such a prodigy gave birth,
'' I know the place of her rifidence,
" Which is not twenty miles from hence.
" Her fire, once minuter of date,l
“ Resign'd and fought his country feat,}
“ This Only child 10 educate.J
" Her age;l know, is just fifteen,l
" Her ihape, her beauty, air and mien,
" Surpasses what has yet been feen;j
“ But whetherihe will stand the glass
“ Is more than I pretend to guess,
" But surely there's no reason why
" Your highness Ihculd not fairly try."
The prince exptefs'd his obligation,
For the much wanted information,
And then with Morabec advis'd,
Who was agreeably fupria'd ;
Declar'd there could not be a doubt
That they diredly fhou'd set out,
And order'd that a chaise and four
Shou'd be get ready in an hour.
They soon, in such an equipage,
Can'd have made out a longer stage ;
But ftop't Ihort at a country in,
Tho' small, commodious and clean,
Some gun-shots distant from the place
Where th' objed of their journey was.
Much from the master of the house,
And more from his loquacious fyoufe
Our travellers made a fhift to gather
About the lady and her father.
