When thou art a man who knows? thou wilt be grateful to Mahbub Ali. 'Take me beyond their sentries where I can change this red. Give me money and I will go to Benares and be with my lama again.
You will find it dedicated to one of your acquaintance, who was forced to prune the luxuriant praises bestowed upon him, and yet has left enough of all conscience to satisfy a reasonable man.
