CANTO THE FIRST
I want a hero: an uncommon want,
When every year and month sends forth a new one,
Till, after cloying the gazettes with cant,
The age discovers he is not the true one;
Of such as these I should not care to vaunt,
I 'll therefore take our ancient friend Don Juan--
We all have seen him, in the pantomime,
Sent to the devil
somewhat
ere his time.

Long was my night of wake at Anˁamayn
While sleepless at the ceaseless stars I gazed
How can I age in life while a slain man
Of Taghlib still calls for a man to slay
Now chide the eyes for tears shed over ruins
In the breast a wound is torn over Kulayb
In the breast there is a need unsatisfied
So long as a dove among the branches wails
How can he ever weep over ruined things
Who is pledged to war with men across the ages
How can I forget you Kulayb when I've not quelled
The sorrow whelming me The bloodparched rage
My heart today make good your bloodwit vow
When they ride out at dawn — retaliate
They fetch their bows and we flash lightning bolts
As stallions threatening their stallion prey
We steel ourselves beneath their flashing steel
Till they fall pounded by our long hard blades
And can keep up no more We keep attacking
For the man who keeps the field is war's true mate

Deflationary note:
While pre-Islamic tribal poetry has a number of facets to it and might be summarized very crudely as a literature of love, loss, pride and war, the social order it appears to suggest is dominated by feuding, ancient grudges and warfare in defense of honor, a world in which existence itself was a dangerous game, where stoicism and hardiness were the only
bulwarks
against callous fate and inevitable heartbreak.

have been to see some noble monument of art, who are content to admire
without thinking of rivalling it; or like guests after a feast,
who praise the hospitality of the donor "and thank the bounteous

carrying

spectators of a mighty battle, who still hear its sound afar off, and
the clashing of armour and the neighing of the war-horse and the shout
of victory is in their ears, like the rushing of innumerable waters!
