THE JACKAL AND THE LIZARD.

_The verses_.--In the original they are--

Chândî dâ merâ chauntrâ, koî sonâ lipâî!

Kâne men merâ gûkrû, shâhzâdâ baithâ hai!

My platform is of silver, plastered with gold!

Jewels are in my ears, I sit here a prince!

_The verses_.--In the original they are--

_Hadî dâ terâ chauntrâ, koî gobar lipaî!

Kâne men terî jûtî; koî gîdar baithâ hai!_

Thy platform is of bones, plastered with cow-dung!

Shoes are in thy ears; some jackal sits there!
