SUCCOR.
Beneath a shady tree, alone,
Far from his camp, Mohammed slept,
When on his slumbers, sword in hand,
Darther, a hostile warrior, crept.
“Awake, Mohammed!” shouted he;
“Who is there that can succor thee?”
Mohammed answered him: “The Lord;”
Whereat the chief let fall the sword.
Far from his camp, Mohammed slept,
When on his slumbers, sword in hand,
Darther, a hostile warrior, crept.

“Who is there that can succor thee?”

Whereat the chief let fall the sword.
The Prophet snatched the sword, and said:
“Thou seest that God hath succored me:
If I should smite thee, Darther, now;
Who is there that could succor thee?”
“Alas, not one.” “Then learn of me
The mercy I extend to thee.
Take back thy sword.” The legend ends.
Be sure from that day they were friends.
