Save only for three things in which noble youth take delight, I care not how soon rises o'er me the coronach loud: Wine that foams when the water is poured on it, ruddy, not bright. Dark wine that I quaff stol'n away from the cavilling crowd; "And second, my charge at the cry of distress on a steed Bow-legged like the wolf you have startled when thirsty he cowers; And third, the day-long with a lass in her tent of goat's hair To hear the wild rain and beguile of their slowness the hours."[215] Keeping, as far as possible, the chronological order, we have now to mention two _Mu‘allaqas_ which, though not directly related to each other,[216] are of the same period--the reign of ‘Amr b. Hind, King of Ḥíra (554-568 A.D.). Moreover, their strong mutual resemblance and their difference from the other _Mu‘allaqas_, especially from typical _qaṣídas_ like those of ‘Antara and Labíd, is a further reason for linking them together. Their distinguishing mark is the abnormal space devoted to the main subject, which leaves little room for the subsidiary motives. [Sidenote: ‘Amr b. Kulthúm.] ‘Amr b. Kulthúm belonged to the tribe of Taghlib. His mother was Laylá, a daughter of the famous poet and warrior Muhalhil. That she was a woman of heroic mould appears from the following anecdote, which records a deed of prompt vengeance on the part of ‘Amr that gave rise to the proverb, "Bolder in onset than ‘Amr b. Kulthúm"[217]:-- [Sidenote: How ’Amr avenged an insult to his mother.]
