Arabian Poetry: Shorter Pieces of Arabian Poetry: Epigram on Taher Ben Hosein, Who Was Ambidexter and One-Eyed
EPIGRAM
ON
TAHER BEN HOSEIN,
WHO WAS AMBIDEXTER AND ONE-EYED.
A PAIR of right hands and a single dim eye Must form not a man, but a monster, they cry: Change a hand to an eye, good Taher, if you can, And a monster perhaps may be changed to man.
