Then did I see a pleasant Paradise, Full of sweet flowers and daintiest delights, Such as on earth man could not more devise With pleasures choice to feed his cheerful sprights; Not that which Merlin by his magic slights Made for the gentle squire to entertain His fair Belphoebe, could this garden stain. Spenser. Ruins of Time. THALABA THE DESTROYER. THE SIXTH BOOK. So from the inmost cave Did Thalaba retrace The windings of the rock. Still on the ground the giant limbs Of Zohak lay dispread; The spell of sleep had ceased, And his broad eyes were glaring on the youth: Yet raised he not his arm to bar the way, Fearful to rouse the snakes Now lingering o'er their meal. Oh then, emerging from that dreadful cave, How grateful did the gale of night Salute his freshen'd sense! How full of lightsome joy, Thankful to Heaven, he hastens by the verge Of that bitumen-lake, Whose black and heavy fumes, Surge heaving after surge, Roll'd like the billowy and tumultuous sea. The song of many a bird at morn Aroused him from his rest. Lo! at his side a courser stood; More animate of eye, Of form more faultless never had he seen, More light of limbs and beautiful in strength, Among the race whose blood, Pure and unmingled, from the royal steeds Of Solomon came down. The chosen Arab's eye Glanced o'er his graceful shape, His rich caparisons, His crimson trappings gay. But when he saw the mouth Uncurb'd, the unbridled neck, Then his heart leapt, and then his cheek was flush'd; For sure he deem'd that Heaven had sent A courser, whom no erring hand might guide. And lo! the eager Steed Throws his head and paws the ground, Impatient of delay! Then u.

This act of devotion is called Taleel, from the repetition of the letter L, or Laum, which occurs in the word Allah (God), always joined to the epithet or attribute, as Ya Allah Khalick, O God, the Creator; Ya Allah Kerreem, O God, the Merciful, &c. &c. The devotees may be seen muttering their beads as they walk the streets, and in the intervals of conversation in company. The rosaries of persons of fortune and rank have the beads of diamonds, pearls, rubies, and emeralds. Those of the humble are strung with berries, coral, or glass-beads.--Note to the Bahar-Danush. The ninety-nine beads of the Mahommedan rosary are divided into three equal lengths, by a little string, at the end of which hangs a long piece of coral, and a large bead of the same. The more devout or hypocritical Turks, like the Catholics, have usually their bead-string in their hands.--Tavernier, Young Arab! when she wrote upon thy brow 8fc.--P. 190. The Mahummedans believe, that the decreed events of every man''s life are impressed in divine characters on his forehead, though not to be seen by mortal eye. Hence they use the word Nusseeb, anglice stamped, for destiny. Most probably the idea was taken up by Mahummed from the sealing of the Elect, mentioned in the Revelations.--Note to the Bahar-Danush. u The scribe of decree chose to ornament the edicts on my forehead with these flourishes of disgrace.--Bahar-Danush. The Spanish physiognomical phrase, traerlo escrito en la /rente, to have it written on the forehead, is perhaps of Arabian origin. Rajah Chunder of Ca...
