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.

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.

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.
