{343a} The tomato was hardly known in England in 1839, and was not common for forty years after, so Borrow may be excused for giving the word in its Spanish form. The plant was introduced into Spain from Peru in the sixteenth century. {343b} “Lord of the World.” _Adun_ or _Adon_ is the well-known Hebrew word for Lord, and is said to be the origin of the Spanish title _Don_. _Oulem_ is the Arab ‘_Olam_. The following lines are the first poem in the _Targum_, a collection of translations by Borrow from thirty languages, printed at St. Petersburg in 1835:— “Reigned the universe’s Master, ere were earthly things begun: When his mandate all created Ruler was the name he won; And alone he’ll rule tremendous when all things are past and gone, He no equal has, nor consort, he, the singular and lone, Has no end and no beginning; his the sceptre, might and throne. He’s my God and living Saviour, rock to whom in need I run; He’s my banner and my refuge, fount of weal when called upon; In his hand I place my spirit at nightfall and rise of sun, And therewith my body also; God’s my God—I fear no one.” {348} In 1684, on the familiar official plea of “economy.” {349} “Good morning, O my lord.” {351} “There is no God but one.” {354} “Buy here, buy here.” {357a} This youth followed Borrow to England, where he was introduced to Mr. Petulengro as a _pal_, but rejected by him as “no Roman.” See _The Zincali_, Preface to Second Edition. {357b} “Hail, Mary, full of grace, pray for me.” {357c} “Remove the faithless race from the borders of the believers, that we may gladly pay due praises to Christ.” {359} This has been already alluded to as regards Southern Spain. {360} Algiers. {361} Essence of white flowers. The Arabic _attar_ = essence is well known in combination as _otto_ or _attar_ of roses. _Nuar_ is a form of _Nawār_ = flowers. {362} This was still market-day in 1892. {364} Nowhere has the destruction of locusts been undertaken in a more systematic manner, or carried to greater perfection than in the island of Cyprus, where a special tax is levied by the British Government to defray the expenses of what is called “the war.” The system is the invention of a Cypriote gentleman, Mr. Mattei. {365} More commonly known as the prickly pear (_Opuntia vulgaris_). {367a} The house of the trades [Borrow], or rather “of the handicrafts.” {367b} Seashore. See the Glossary. {372} Friday.
