1. In Baghdad I saw a Roman beauty
Far exceeding all my fondest wishes

2. Her glances, Syrian; her figure, Greek;
Her hair, an Abyssinian's curled tresses;

3. Her arms, a Turk's; her hips, a Copt's;
Her legs, an Indian dancing girl's;

4. Her bosom, a Nubian's; her buttocks,
Of a Hottentot's or Jadaite's.

5. But her ravishing beauty comprises
All the glories of the world, you see!
