'Mid many things most new to ear and eye[fl]

The Pilgrim rested here his weary feet,

And gazed around on Moslem luxury,

Till quickly, wearied with that spacious seat

Of Wealth and Wantonness, the choice retreat

Of sated Grandeur from the city's noise:

And were it humbler it in sooth were sweet;

But Peace abhorreth artificial joys,

And Pleasure, leagued with Pomp, the zest of both destroys.
