And the brother of the sun and moon perceived that he was in the minority; concealing therefore his bile, he graciously ordered refreshments for the envoy, saying, "Let the dog be fed," and retired to the apartment of the peerless Chaoukeun. Ti-tum, tilly-lilly, ti-tum, tilly-lilly, ti-tum, ti.
Let the other maidens be sent to their parents, for as yet there is not found a fit bride for the brother of the sun and moon."

Those eyes which should have sunned a court of princes, were dimmed with eternal sorrow. And who was the cause of this eclipse, but the miscreant, gold-loving minister, Suchong Pollyhong Ka-te-tow. Ti-tum, tilly-lilly. The mandarins were summoned by the great Youantée, the court in its splendour bowed down their heads into the dust of delight as they listened to the miracle of his eloquence.
Ti-tum, tilly-lilly, ti-tum, tilly-lilly, ti-tum, ti. "I'm sure I don't wonder at their being tired," observed the pacha, yawning, "if they were like you." "God is great," replied Mustapha, with another yawn. "Shall he proceed?" "Yes, let him go on; wake me when the story is ended," replied the pacha, laying down his pipe.
But first he struck his instrument and ran over a short prelude, which may be imagined by a series of false notes, running as follows: Ti-tum, ti-tum, tilly-lilly, tilly-lilly, ti-tum, ti-tum, tilly-lilly, tilly-lilly, ti-tum, ti.
