Who moved from cavern s mouth a stone | B |
Then bade him go beneath the ground | A |
And pace through unknown realms alone | B |
Till from a niche he bore away | C |
A lamp extinguishing its ray | C |
- | |
- | |
The youth obedient instant hied | A |
When fruits luxuriant met his sight | A |
The white were pearls in snowy pride | A |
Diamonds the clear of brilliant light | A |
For red the rubies dazzling blazed | A |
Whereof Aladdin gathered store | D |
Then on the lamp in rapture gazed | A |
And from its niche the treasure bore | D |
- | |
- | |
Regained his home he seized anon | B |
The lamp and cried straight bring me food | A |
The Genii instantly was gone | B |
But soon again before him stood | A |
The youth his fear struck mother bore | D |
As plates of silver met his view | E |
Of viands choice containing store | D |
And cups with wine of rosy hue | E |
- | |

Aladdin next by chance descried | A |
The Sultan s daughter witching fair | F |
Love s high control was not denied | A |
He sought to gain the beauty rare | F |
Before the Sultan lowly bent | A |
His mother and the jewels spread | A |
The Prince astonished gave consent | A |
And all Aladdin s terrors fled | A |
- | |
- | |
In gorgeous robes the youth arrayed | A |
Vaulted anon his prancing steed | A |
And of the glittering gay parade | A |
Right joyous smiling took the lead | A |
With loud huzzas then rang the air | F |
Which louder pealed as gold amain | B |
By slaves was cast for mob to share | F |
That glittered on the vasty plain | B |
- | |
- | |
Ne er dreaming lamp so worn and old | A |
More worth commanded than Peru | E |
Our Princess bartered wealth untold | A |
For the Magician s lamp quite new | E |
So when this change the eunuch made | A |
In scorn the rabble gan to shout | A |
Beholding such a silly trade | A |
They deemed the wizard fool and lout | A |
- | |
O erwhelmed with grief Aladdin prayed | A |
Once more the Genii life would spare | F |
Beseeching he might be conveyed | A |
Where late had stood his palace fair | F |
Then swift as thought the spirit bore | D |
The youth through airy realms above | G |
Who lighted safe on Afric s shore | D |
And gained the chamber of his love | G |
- | |
- | |
His foe the poison quaffed and fell | H |
A writhing form the wizard lay | C |
Aladdin knew how worked the spell | H |
And tore from vest the lamps his prey | C |
The Princess with a panting heart | A |
Flew to receive affection s kiss | I |
Thus met they never more to part | A |
From that hour sealed their lasting blis | I |
