[From palaces oft] So from the palace happy quiet flies;
While [gentle] rest dwells in the lowly] rest's calm mansion is the sheltered cot;
Where] When cares disturb the mind sleep shuns the eyes,
Sleep, [rare] [not] the Monarch's [oft] but the peasant's lot;
Tho' on a couch of down proud Osman lies
[Sweet sleep] Repose his weary eye-lids visit not:
'Twas dawn, – the Star of Morning [more] palely shed
Her beams, when o'er him slumbers faintly spread.

The great Arch-fiend expelled from Heaven of old,
Who falsehood frames, & deceit abound,
This , which gorgeous cloth of woven gold,
A gift from distant India, curtain'd round,
Approached; – a feigned shape of human mould
His art bestowed, and voice of human sound;
The form of Mahomet himself he took,
And to the sleeping Monarch thus he spoke.
