THE CADI OF BAGDAD ; OR,
GIVING JUSTICE HER DUE.
AN intrepid Traveller lately set out
From Europe to India by over-land nonce;
And toil and much imminent danger sustained,
"Till I3agdad's famed City in safety he gained;
Bagdad, still renowned in Arabian story,
The seat once of Haroun Alraschicri high glory.
Our traveller there met a slave-dealing tribe
Of Tartan—but who can his feelings describe
When females be saw, each tied tip Ina sack,
Astride on a horse, and made fast ,to its back?
Packed up, each poor victim, of goods like a bale,
And destined to travel the country fot isle!
" Ye base, sordid wretches, to dassons allied,
" Release these young wornen !" the Traveller akied--7
His Boots caught their eyes, and the Tartan irlaidrei,
The shades of the Jet when opposed to their view.
And now to the Cadi of &SW they ran,
Denouncing this dreaded myiteribus man—
Their slaves who set free, and who's potent pursuits
Were guided by Genii that glared in hit Boots !
Both parties when heard, thus the Cadi decreed—
" I will, that the slaves shall from bondage be freed !
" And thank the kind stranger whose Boots of Jet hue
" 'fbe means have supplied to give JOsti•ce her due !"
In Bagdad, Bassora, and on to Posilisbay,
The Jet has acquired a permanent fame—
It's glossy resplendence the natives proclaim,
And Taste to embellish, or Crime to dismay,
'Whichever the aim, now the means are not lacking,
Resorting to Waitames unparalleled &scrims!
