The Story of Zeyn Alasman Prince c/Balsora.
Continued.
HIS mother warn’d him to reflrain
His fquand’ring humour ; but in vain.
He wastes his trcafurc, arid that gone,
OjJprefSve taxes next lays on.
These fill’d the land with discontent,
Their rage his grumbling fubjeds vent
In pamphlets that the odds express
Between the former reign and this ;
The Parcntsoftheir king compare J
To plants, that noble foliage wear C
But poison to the fruit they bear : J
At'laft in plain Arabic tell
If farther tax’d they would rebel.
Ey clamours of his fubjeds flunn’d.
By creditors impatient dun’d,
Zeyn.fov.nd affairs grew daily worse,
And was conft’rain’d to change his course.
The jolly bacchanalian found
His ceilings nownomore rebound,
No more the melting voice of love
Invites him to the myrtle grove:
?don(lers of frightful fatal form
Attempt his palace gates to florm;
Pale Indigence akin to Death,
Contempt that freezes with his breath,
Gaunt Desolation haggard-ey’d,
And mad Despair and Suicide.
One night that Zcyn’s molt conftantgueft
Repentance had him rock’d to rest,
Sudden beside his couch appears
A reverend figure full of years,
Apparrell’d as a holy man.
Who in thrill accents thus began:
“ Young prince I the God of nature chose )
That principles eternal foes S
“ Should this dur universe compole. j
“ Thus rest and motion, death and life,
“ Hold an unintermitting ftrife,
“ And ill alternating with good,
“ Keeps mankind in vicissitude:
“ O 1 grief you’ve had your deflin’d share, }
“ To Egypt’s capital repair, C
*• Good fortune will attend you there.” j
This night’s adventure was by Zeyn/
Imparted only to the queen,
Who much dissuaded th’ expedition
Suggested by the apparition ;
B at something noble Th its eye,
Bade Zeyn upon it’s word rely;
So he continued obfiinate.
And for Grand Cairo off he set.
1 hat mighty town was far away,
And Zeyn rode many a weary day,
Thro’ labyrinths of forefts pafs’d, J
O’er cloud-cap’d hills and defarts, vail, C
But fafely he arriv’d at last. J
W hen he was fail asleep, again
Appears the reverend gentleman,
And cries, “ Young prince, I’m mighty glad,
Y To trust me you were not afraid, *
<c I but to try you brought you here, J
“ Back to your capital repair, (.
(t Good fortune will attend you there.” J
The prince was tempted to fufped,
He by the phantom had been trick’d;
But be that, thought he, as it may.
In Egypt ’twere absurd to stay :
So after clearing with his holt.
He rode off for Bal fora port.
