  • That I may kiss Thy little hand and rub Thy little foot, (and when) bedtime comes I may sweep Thy little room,

  • O Thou to whom all my goats be a sacrifice, O Thou in remembrance of whom are my cries of ay and ah!”
  • ای فدای تو همه بزهای من ** ای به یادت هیهی و هیهای من‏

  • The shepherd was speaking foolish words in this wise. Moses said, “Man, to whom is this (addressed)?” 1725
