Читать книгу Aladdin or The Wonderful Lamp - Unknown - Страница 1

Aladdin poor the wizard found,

Who moved from cavern’s mouth a stone;

Then bade him go beneath the ground,

And pace through unknown realms alone,

Till from a niche he bore away

A lamp—extinguishing its ray.

The youth obedient instant hied,

When fruits luxuriant met his sight;

The white were pearls in snowy pride,

Diamonds the clear—of brilliant light;

For red the rubies dazzling blazed,

Whereof Aladdin gathered store;

Then on the lamp in rapture gazed,

And from its niche the treasure bore.

Regained his home, he seized anon

The lamp, and cried “straight bring me food;”
