Song Of Taj Mahomed

Title:     Song Of Taj Mahomed
Author: Laurence Hope [More Titles by Hope]

Dear is my inlaid sword; across the Border
It brought me much reward; dear is my Mistress,
The jewelled treasure of an amorous hour.
Dear beyond measure are my dreams and Fancies.

These I adore; for these I live and labour,
Holding them more than sword or jewelled Mistress,
For this indeed may rust, and that prove faithless,
But, till my limbs are dust, I have my Fancies.

[The end]
Laurence Hope's poem: Song Of Taj Mahomed
