THE SONG OF PRINCESS ZEB-UN-NISSA IN PRAISE OF HER OWN BEAUTY

（From the Persian）

When from my cheek I lift my veil, The roses turn with envy pale, And from their pierced hearts, rich with pain, Send forth¹ their fragrance² like a wail³.

Or if perchance one perfumed tress Be lowered to the wind's caress⁴, The honeyed hyacinths complain, And languish⁵ in a sweet distress⁶.

And, when I pause, still groves⁷ among, （Such loveliness is mine） a throng⁸ Of nightingales awake and strain Their souls into a quivering song.
