THE seven Poems, SUSPENDED IN THE TEMPLE AT MECCA. TRANSLATED FROM THE ARABIC BY CAPT. E. JOHNSON, Royal Artillery

THE SEVEN POEMS

The accompanying translation is intended to be nothing more than an aid to the student, and for this reason, it has been made as literal as possible. Notes and explanations have been added in all cases where the sense is obscure, and it is hoped that by their aid beginners even will experience little or no difficulty in reading the original.

All different readings, and different interpretations which have good authority and have come to hand, have been included in the notes. Lines that have been found in some copies and not in others are marked with asterisks for the sake of distinction
