The place which needs culture's angelic sage.
It is not hard to find in present age
And women keep their bodies fully hid.
Where dice and drink are both by law forbid,
Although my body has a deep restless heart,
Yet forbears' wont no disgust can impart.
Although deprived of school's beneficial fount,
On Bedouin’s wit and courage we can count.
The wise 'mong Franks this verdict declare,
Of culture Arab lands are fully bare. |
