1. Did you wet her fevered brow with cool water
To hear her moan resonate in the glass bowl?

2. For when her temper rose, your ears did know
The tunes and sighs that met her soft growl.

3. Spare her the chill water and draw near
For if you let me perish, no more cheer

4. Will come from cups of emerald and jade
Which Kisra's self did choose with utmost care

5. Lest hands should trouble stillness when they laid
Along the rim and roused slumbering there

6. Turbaned Hindi chiefs round chargers stayed
While steeds curvetted underneath their stare
