Vol. II. 



The antique Persians taught tliree useful things — 

 To draw the bow, to ride, to speak the truth. 

 This was the mode of Cyrus, best of kings — 

 A mode adopted since by modern youtli. 

 Bows have they, generally with two striugs : 

 Horses they ride without remorse or ruth : 

 At speaking truth perhaps they are less clever, 

 But draw the long bow lietter now than ever. 



Byron, Uou Juan, Cauto XYI.
