I just received this verse in an email from a friend
who said she's known this since high school and has
been wracking her brains re: the source for years.
Does anyone know where this is from?
Thanks,
Ed
A maiden from the Bosphorus
With eyes as bright as phosphorus
Once wed the wealthy bailif
Of the Caliph of Calat.
Though diligent and zealous, he
Became a slave to jealousy;
Considering her beauty,
'T was his duty to be that.
When business would necessitate
A journey, he would hesitate,
But fearing to disgust her,
He would trust her with his keys,
Remarking to her prayerfully,
"I beg you use them carefully;
Don't look what I deposit
In that closet, if you please."
