Not illustrated.1904 Excerpt: ... HAMID THE LUCKLESS. ONCE, in a city of Mazenderan, There lived and throve a passing wealthy man, Whose lands and houses, chattels and array, One scarce might tell in half a summer's day. One child he had, a son of tender age, Hamid by name; and when upon Life's page The term its stern sign-manual had scored For him, unto the mercy of his Lord Departing, in the prime of manlihood, He to his heir left all his gear and good.

So, in short season, all he did possess He spent in chambering and wantonness And being thus reduced to beggary, With his sad body, for a penny fee, In heat and cold, in rain and sun and dust, For all who chose to hire him labour must. On this wise ...
