In all religions God hath sacrifice!
The pale Mohammedan with eyes eterne
No worldly lure, no dalliance can entice,—
Taught from his youth all froward pleas to spurn,—
To disregard the Prophet's mandate stern,
'Offer thy vow, tho' thou be far or near,
When from high Mosque Muezzin calls to prayer.'
