Note 100 — TURKISH LITERATURE (continued 2)
Reading edition
Very characteristic is the piece of poetry here introduced. It is probably a Turkish sea-song of that time. It says:
"We roam the waters far and wide, And bring confusion upon our enemies; Revenge and hatred is our motto, For we are Khairreddin's troops."
(Khairreddin Pasha was Suleiman's renowned Admiral, known in Europe as Barbarossa.)
