  WHERE 
  IKON 
  BARS 
  PAY 
  TRIBUTE 
  TO 
  THE 
  CHARM 
  OF" 
  WOMANKIND 
  

  

  The 
  Turk 
  is 
  not 
  lavish 
  of 
  paint, 
  for 
  under 
  Moslem 
  rule 
  to 
  be 
  reputed 
  rich 
  is 
  not 
  always 
  

   a 
  blessing. 
  By 
  protecting 
  the 
  surface 
  the 
  owner 
  is 
  not 
  sure- 
  to 
  protect 
  all 
  (see 
  text, 
  page 
  651). 
  

   But 
  shameless 
  as 
  he 
  is 
  about 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  his 
  house, 
  in 
  the 
  old 
  days 
  he 
  jealously 
  guarded 
  

   his 
  womenfolk, 
  upon 
  whose 
  actions 
  he 
  esteemed 
  an 
  iron 
  grating 
  better 
  bar 
  than 
  many 
  a 
  

   precept 
  spoken 
  to 
  listless 
  ears. 
  Note 
  the 
  bird 
  on 
  the 
  nest 
  under 
  the 
  bay 
  window.
