Extract

Dr. Carlyle's book, “Specimens of Arabic Poetry,” may be somewhat scarce, and Captain, now Sir R., Burton's “Pilgrimage to El-Medinah and Meccah” gives only an English version, without the Arabic text, of the little piece of poetry attributed to Meysūn, the mother of the second Damascus Caliph of the house of ‘Umeyya, Yezīd son of Mu'āwiya son of’ Ebū-Sufyān Ṣakhr son of Ḥarb, etc.
