1. The Sultan of Fez—his enemies strove in earnest,

    while he was carefree and fond of jesting.

  2. Outsiders in the East pitied him,

    while his thoughts were on the beautiful woman and wine.

  3. Do not reproach him if he amused himself and did not

    mourn the kingdom as they mourned;

  4. for in Africa there is a people

    whose mourning gatherings are dancing and festivities.
