The spur hath lanced his courser's sides; Away, away, for life he rides: Swift as the hurled on high jerreed Springs to the touch his startled steed; The rock is doubled, and the shore Shakes with the clattering tramp no more; The crag is won, no more is seen His Christian crest and haughty mien.

Oh! some must tug the galley's oar, and some must tend the steed— This boy will bear a Scheik's chibouk, and that a Bey's jerreed.

The Persians are more famous for throwing the jerreed than any other nation.
