ON THE DEATH OF NEDHAM ALMOLK

VIZIER TO THE THREE FIRST SELJUK SULTANS OF PERSIA.
BY SHEBAL ADDAULET.



Thy virtues, famed through every land,
   Thy spotless life in age and youth,
 Prove thee a pearl, by Nature's hand
   Formed out of purity and truth.

Too long its beams of orient light
   Upon a thankless world were shed:
 ALLAH has now revenged the slight,
   And called it to its native bed.
