Freely shalt thou partake Of all my

Our tents his glorious roof night and day
And at whose door yet heard Nay"
So Yussouf entertained his guest that night,
And, waking him day, said Here is gold.
My swiftest horse is saCdled for thy flight;
Depart before the prying day grow bold
AS lamp lights another, grows less
So nobleness enkndleth nobleness.
That inward light the strangers face made grand.
Which shines from all self-conQuest; kneeling low.
