Or fox-like In the vine; nor cares to walk
With Death and Morning on the Silver Horns,
Nor wilt thou snare him in the white ravine,
Nor mud him dropt upon the frths of ice,
That budding slant in furrow-cloven falls
To roll the torrent out Of dusky doors:
But follow; let the torrent dance thee down
To find him in the valley; let the wild
Lean headed Eagle yelP alone, and leave
The monstrous lodges there to slope, and spill
Their thousand wreaths Of dangling water

So waste not thou; but come; for all the wales

Of the officials by whose management it
was effected. The lady in question was
ambitious Of being presented to the young
Sultan, and her lord was no less ambitious
Of gratifying her wishes. An application
was made by them to the Pasha, then at the
head Of affairs at Stamboul to give effect to
their wishes, and as he had been at some
former period ambassador at our court, his
residence in London had enabled him to

have it in their power to retalate upon him

to propose such thing to his sovereign as
the presentation Of the lady to him, was
