Note 211 — THE ROGUERIES OF DALILAH THE CRAFTY AND HER DAUGHTER ZAYNAB THE CONEY-CATCHER.[179]

Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2

The Bresl. Edit. (ix. 239) prefers these lines:—

Some of us be hawks and some sparrow-hawks, ✿ And vultures some which at carrion pike;

And maidens deem all alike we be ✿ But, save in our turbands, we’re not alike.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
