The Arabian Nights' Entertainments Embellished with Nearly One Hundred Engravings (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Arabian Nights' Entertainments: Embellished With Nearly One Hundred Engravings

Blessed child of Genius, whose fantastic sprite Rides on the vivid lightning's flash, or roves Through flowery valleys and elysian groves; Or, borne on vent'rous pinions, takes its flight To those dread realms, where, hid from mortal sight, Fierce Germ mom, or where in bright alcoves Mild Fairies reign, and woo their secret loves Whate'er thy theme, whether the magic might Of the stern kings that dwell 'mid Ocean's roar, Or Sindbad's perils, or the cruel wiles Of Afric's curst enchanters, charm us more.
