The date of its
erection, as stated in an inscription, was 1367-a few years, that is
to say, before Jauna Shāh built the Kālī and Khirki mosques at
Delhi, and it is not unlikely therefore that Jauna Shāh's architect
may have been acquainted with the design of this Gulbarga proto-
type and sought to improve upon it by introducing open aisles
across the closed court and thus
obviating
the need for the admis-
sion of light and air through the surrounding cloisters.

If ye have not seen all these,

While ye tune your pipes to play
But an idle roundelay;
And in sad Discomfort's den
Everyone go bite her pen;
That she cannot reach the skill
How to climb that blessed hill
Where Aglaia's fancies dwell,
Where
exceedings
do excell,
And in simple truth confess
She is that fair shepherdess
To whom fairest flocks a-field
Do their service duly yield:
On whom never Muse hath gazèd
But in musing is amazèd;
Where the honour is too much
For their highest thoughts to touch;
Thus confess, and get ye gone
To your places every one;
And in silence only speak
When ye find your speech too weak.
