The Sultan, too, relinquishing his throne Must wayfare through the darkening dust alone
 * Where neither crown nor kingdom be, and he,

Part of the Secret, here and there is blown.

To clay the mighty Sultan must return And, chancing, help a praying slave to burn
 * His midnight oil before the face of Him,

Who of the Sultan makes an incense urn.
