Scheichi II., surnamed Djaghidshurdshi

Poems from Oriental Languages: Epigram to Yusuf Ben Ali Ben Yacoob

I WROTE, Y—— is a wretched proser,

Though tolerable verse-composer:

But ’twas not thee I satirized;

And I confess I feel surprised

To see thee thus take fire like nitre;

For thou art wrong, and thou shouldst know it;

Thou art indeed a poor prose-writer,

But not a tolerable poet.
