Arabian Poetry, by W. A. Clouston, [1881]
| The Arabian Poets were the historians and moralists of the age; and if they sympathised with the prejudices, they inspired and crowned the virtues of their countrymen: the indissoluble union of generosity and valour was the darling theme of their song.— Gibbon. |
