The relations between the twins of rapture.

tune, like cedar-wood that healeth the sick, as-
suaging thy desire.
My member reconcileth thy podex with himself,
and being exalted sendeth out his pearly dew ; he
is the witness of all these orgasms, like a-many
comets and meteors, assuaging thy desire.
[persian] Waw
My member is the Truth, never swerving from
thy podex ; he is the advocate of its beauty, and
strong is he like a young unweaned lion, assuaging
thy desire.
Solid is my member, a foster-father to thy podex,
ever providing it with pearly dew ; and thankwor-
thy is he, like a poet before a king, assuaging thy
desire.
My member reckoneth the orgasms of thy podex,
he who began them ; he raiseth himself from the
dead, and giveth thee life, like the moon to Musal-
la,5 assuaging thy desire.
[persian] Zay
My member slayeth thy podex with its terrible
thrusts, he is the living one ! and he pleadeth for
all the joys of thy podex, like Azrael6 for death, as-
suaging thy desire.
My member is the only one that will fit thy po-
dex, and he is the most holy on, as the Beyt Ullah
is the most holy among mosques ; he is the sole
member, like Arafat7 among mountains, assuaging
thy desire.
My member is unaccompanied in thy podex ;
powerful is he, yea ! most mighty, and hasteneth
from orgasm to orgasm, like a man bringing tidings
of victory, assuaging thy desire.
