And 'tis as ridiculous to make use of theexpressions commonly used, in speaking to a great man or lady, as itwould be to speak broad Yorkshire, or Somersetshire, in the drawingroom. Besides this distinction, they have what they call the_sublime_, that is, a style proper for poetry, and which is the exactscripture style. I believe you will be pleased to see a genuineexample of this; and I am very glad I have it in my power to satisfyyour curiosity, by sending you a faithful copy of the verses th...atIbrahim Bassa, the reigning favourite, has made for the youngprincess, his contracted wife, whom he is not yet permitted to visitwithout witnesses, though she is gone home to his house. He is a manof wit and learning; and whether or no he is capable of writing goodverse, you may be sure, that, on such an occasion, he would not wantthe assistance of the best poets in the empire. Thus the verses maybe looked upon as a sample of their finest poetry; and I don't doubtyou'll be of my mind, that it is most wonderfully resembling _Thesong of Solomon_, which was also addressed to a royal bride.
