Vox Populi
A poem
When Mazárvan the Magician
Journeyed westward through Cathay,
Nothing heard he but the praises
Of Badoura on his way.
But the lessening rumor ended
When he came to Khaledan;
There the folk were talking only
Of Prince Camaralzaman.
So it happens with the poets;
Every province hath its own;
Camaralzaman is famous,
Where Badoura is unknown!
