Free Will the reward of Union. 
Just so in India “ rupee ” means any coin.  “ Ja-
hanpana ghulamko rupaiye dijiye ” “ May the Sup-
port of the Universe be pleased to bestow rupees 
upon (his) slave ! ” is adequately answered by any 
sum from a halfpenny upwards. 
2.  Kaffur means Camphor, white wax, and is a 
lucus a non lucendo insult given to unusually 
black slaves. 
3.  Though both Mohammedans and Jews are 
circumcised, there is a difference in the technique 
of the operation which would enable an expert to 
tell at a glance to which religion a man belonged.  
It is alleged by some that the toughening and har-
dening of the glans penis which results from the 
operation predisposes to sodomy, inasmuch as a 
greater intensity of  friction is required to produce 
emission.  True, but a moist and flabby vulva of 
gigantic size is poor fun for anybody.  Undoubted-
ly, a hardened tool does (in mathematical lan-
guage) “ flatten the curve ” of rising excitement, and 
this is the secret alike of giving and receiving plea-
sure.  The Hindu bayadere compares the average 
Sahib to a village cock, and the passionate En-
glishwoman jeers at her brutal and hasty husband 
for his “ two-puffs-and-a-spit ” performances. 
4.  It is more than possible that the Haji had 
some unpleasant experience of the magistracy, or 
at least a personal spite against one of its mem-
bers.  For the symbolizing of Fate by human law is 
not so obvious to a Persian as to an Englishman :  
in Persia the defendant has plenty of free will, if he 
has plenty of cash.   
But our poet flourished no doubt in a Golden 
Age.
