"Baldacca's kalif, and he alone, Rose in revolt against thy throne: His treasures are at thy palace-door, With the swords and the shawls and the jewels he wore; His body is dust o'er the desert blown.
"The Complete Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"I said to the kalif: 'Thou art old, Thou hast no need of so much gold.
"The Complete Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Spite of your kalif and his gold, Pleasant has been the tale you told, And full of color; that at least No one will question or gainsay.
