LXXV.

And being told it was "God's House," she said

He was well lodged, but only wondered how

He suffered Infidels in his homestead,

The cruel Nazarenes, who had laid low

His holy temples in the lands which bred

The True Believers;—and her infant brow

Was bent with grief that Mahomet should resign

A mosque so noble, flung like pearls to swine.
