translation OF that part OF the poem OF Ferdoussee
by Champlon:-

Let us compare some Of Haiiz passionate entrea-
ties to his love- which are considered only in an
alIegorlca sense by the Sheab to some OF the can
anrn1t tUh hy
Bible readers.
From Haiiz:-"Oh, silvar-bosomed cypress a form
dccate rs the rose, the beauty OF whose cheeks
surpasseth that OF the moon at evening Return
for your absence hath melted my SOUL and deprived
my heart or ease aud rest "
From the Cantices:-"Who is she that looketh
forth as the morning. fair the moon, clear as the
turn return, Shulamite; return, return that we
may look upon thee.3
From Haf1:-"Thus spoke the nightingale this
morning:-'What sayest thou, sweet roseY Bring
thy coach to the garden roses, that thou mayest
kiss the cheeks OF lovely damses, quafr rich vino
ana smell odor1erous biossoms.'n
From the Cantices:--'Awake, O north wind; and
come thou south, that the spices thereof may now
out. Let my beloved come into his garden and eat
From nahz:-"The singers. the wine and the roses
are at hand, but pleasure Is not to pc enjoyed With
lovely infael2 viii seat my love, like queen OH
bed OF roses viii make her garland OF the hya-
cinthe, and her bracelets shall be jasmine. Open,
like the Narcissus. thy sleepy eyes and let the up
right Narcissus droop from envy Of thee. Throw on
tne pearIy drops from iHy COunleHanCe, ana ike
glislening eyes make the garden weep.''
From the Canticles:-'"My beloved spake and said
unto me, sRise up my love- my fair one and come
away. For, 10, the winter is past the rain is over
and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the
time OF the singing OF the birds Is come. and the
voice of the turtle Is heard In land The lg tree
putteth forth her green twigs and the vines with
the tender grape, give good smell, Arse, my be.
loved my fair one, and come away.'n
The Sooees see raptures OF piey in all the kisses
and embraces Of Halz, while tle Canticles, accord
ing TO the translatorS OF IT, mean no than the
professions OF faith and desire on the part Of the
Church.
One more quotation from Jamee, who wasa sooieo
OF the most extreme order.-
The almighty majesty Of love has no orm shines in the
deprives peace and rest
There nothing between thee bat the Yeti Oozra
A thousand a0lictlons flowed on the unhappy wamiq.
Truly you sported with love; Wamiq Manoon were
but names

the glass is inclined towards the goblet.
Sometimes the wne sometimes the call thee. Some-
times the lure, sometimes the net call thee.
