Mohammed or Messiah! Hear thou me, The truth entire nor here nor there can be;
 * How should our God who made the sun and moon

Give all his light to One, I cannot see.

Come, let us with the naked Night now rest And read in Allah's Book the sonnet best:
 * The Pleiads—ah, the Moon from them departs,—

She draws her veil and hastens toward the west.
