The Scented Garden

The relations between the twins of rapture. 137 XL THE NAMINGS1 [persian] Alif This member of mine is compassionate and mer- ciful unto thy podex, of which he is king, greater than two-hoared Alexander,2 assuaging its desire. Holy is this member and bringeth peace to thy podex ; to him thou art faithful, like a child to its mother’s breast, assuaging thy desire. Terrible is my member to thy podex, causing him to tremble, but also he is dear ; strong he is and proud, like a peacock spreading his splendour in the sun, assuaging thy desire. [persian] Ba My member hath created thy podex ; he hurteth thee with a delicious pain, and pictureth thy podex as a beautiful garden, wherein like a young child he may play, assuaging thy desire. My member pardoneth the infidelities of thy po- dex ; he conquereth its resistance, and giveth pearly dew, like the stars to the roses, assuaging thy desire. Beautiful is my member as it openeth thy podex, and allwise to know every secret recess thereof, holding it on its stiffness like a lion thrust through by a spear, assuaging thy desire.
