A Guess at the Contents of Lalla Rookh
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2022
Summary
Sunshine and Moonshine by hook or by crook;
With Bowers, and Flowers, and many a Brook;
Fairy regions which never were dreamt of by COOK;
Rosy lips, rosy cheeks too, and tresses, which, shook
By the amorous breezes, inchantingly look;
With bright eyes which glance into every nook,
Speaking language which might even puzzle HORNE TOOKE,
IfPURLEY his spirit from PLUTO could hook;—
In short, you can't guess what you’ll find in the Book
Which TOM MOORE has written, and call’d Lalla Rookh!
