| When the sphere seems to rest on the mountains | J |
| Half hidden yet full risen soon | A |
| Build me a dome said Aladdin | A |
| That shall cause all young lovers to sigh | Q |
| The fullness of life and of beauty | R |
| Peace beyond peace to the eye | Q |
| A palace of foam and of opal | S |
| Pure moonlight without and within | A |
| Where I may enthrone my sweet lady | R |
| I AM YOUR SLAVE said the Jinn | A |
