And many a white one, her stalks musky,
And how many white musky maidens I sheltered
Of fresh palm blossom, lovely in every part—
Of all the beautiful maidens

I tore her veil away, and she revealed
I unveiled their veils from them and they displayed
The sea's tongue amid dry thorny scrub,
The tongue of the sea on the barren land

Or a tender upper arm, when
Or the soft upper arm when it retained
Rings of mail had left their marks upon it.
On it the traces - the rings of the coats of mail
