Ralph Waldo Emerson: To the Shah

Updated September 23, 2019 | Infoplease Staff

To the Shah

From Hafiz

Thy foes to hunt, thy enviers to strike down,
Poises Arcturus aloft morning and evening his spear.

From Enweri

Not in their houses stand the stars,
But o'er the pinnacles of thine!

From Enweri

From thy worth and weight the stars gravitate,
And the equipoise of heaven is thy house's equipoise.
