Not of pearl and of silver, but of gold and glittering sheen. Of jasper and of onyx, and of diamond shining clear, Changing to the changing light, with radiance insincere — That changeful mind unchanging gems are not befitting well — Thus will he think — ^and what to say, alas ! I cannot tell. " He'll think when I to market went, I loitered by the way ; He'll think a willing ear I lent to all the lads might say ; He'll think some other lover's hand, among my tresses noosed, From the ears where ...he had placed them, my rings of pearl un- loosed ; He'll think, when I was sporting so beside this marble well, My pearls fell in, — and what to say, alas ! I cannot tell. " He'll say, I am a woman, and we are all the same ; He'll say I loved when he was here to whisper of his flame — But when he went to Tunis my virgin troth had broken, And thought no more of Mu^a, and cared not for his token. My ear-rings! my ear-rings! O luckless, luckless well, For what to say to Muga, alas ! I cannot tell.
