The works of Lord Byron | ||
II.
Begirt with many a gallant slave,Apparelled as becomes the brave,
Awaiting each his Lord's behest
To guide his steps, or guard his rest,
Old Giaffir sate in his Divan:
Deep thought was in his agéd eye;
And though the face of Mussulman
Not oft betrays to standers by
159
All but unconquerable pride,
His pensive cheek and pondering brow
Did more than he was wont avow.
