The wildnefs and iimplicity of this Perfian fong pleafed me fo much, that I have attempted to tranflate it in verfe : the reader will excufe the fingularity of the meafure which I have nfed> if he confiders the difficulty of bringing fo many eaftern proper names into our ftanzas.
i have endeavoured, as far as I was able, to give my tranflation the eafy turn of the origi- nal ; and I have, as nearly as poffible, imitated the cadence and accent of the Perfian meafure; from which every reader, who... underftands mu-^ fick, will perceive that the Afiatick numbers^ are capable of as regular a melody as any air in Metaftafio.
A PERSIAN SONG.
Sweet maid, if thou wouldft charm my fight^ And bid thefe arms thy neck infold ; Digiti ized by Google PERSIAN LANGUAGE. Si7 That roify cheek, that lily hand Would give thy poet more delight Than all Bokhara's vaunted gold^ Than all the gems of Samarcand.
Boy, let yon * liquid ruby flow.
And bid thy penfive heart be glad, Whatever the frowning zealots fay: Tell them their Eden cannot fliow A ftream fo clear as Rocnabad, A bow'r fo fweet as Mofelldy.
