LIX.

Are mixed conspicuous: some recline in groups,[157]

Scanning the motley scene that varies round;

There some grave Moslem to devotion stoops,

And some that smoke, and some that play, are found;

Here the Albanian proudly treads the ground;

Half-whispering there the Greek is heard to prate;

Hark! from the Mosque the nightly solemn sound,

The Muezzin's call doth shake the minaret,

"There is no god but God!—to prayer—lo! God is great!"
