BOOK OF LOVE.
THE TYPES.
LIST, and in memory bear These six fond loving pair.
Love, when aroused, kept true Rustan and Rad!
Strangers approach from far Joseph and Suleika;Love, void of hope, is in Ferhad and Schirin.
Born for each other are Medschnun and Lily;Loving, though old and grey, Dschemil saw Boteinah.
Love's sweet caprice anon, Brown maid + and Solomon!
If thou dost mark them well, Stronger thy love will swell.
