[171] {194} Lambro Canzani, a Greek, famous for his efforts, in 1789-90, for the independence of his country. Abandoned by the Russians, he became a pirate, and the Archipelago was the scene of his enterprises. He is said to be still alive at Petersburgh. He and Riga are the two most celebrated of the Greek revolutionists. [For Lambros Katzones (Hobhouse, _Travels in Albania_, ii. 5, calls him Canziani), see Finlay's _Greece under Othoman ... Domination,_ 1856, pp. 330-334. Finlay dwells on his piracies rather than his patriotism.] [172] {195} "Rayahs,"--all who pay the capitation tax, called the "Haratch." ["This tax was levied on the whole male unbelieving population," except children under ten, old men, Christian and Jewish priests.--Finlay, _Greece under Ottoman ... Domination_, 1856, p. 26. See, too, the _Qur'ân_, cap. ix., "The Declaration of Immunity."] [173] This first of voyages is one of the few with which the Mussulmans profess much acquaintance. [174] The wandering life of the Arabs, Tartars, and Turkomans, will be found well detailed in any book of Eastern travels. That it possesses a charm peculiar to itself, cannot be denied. A young French renegado confessed to Châteaubriand, that he never found himself alone, galloping in the desert, without a sensation approaching to rapture which was indescribable. [175] [Inns, caravanserais. From _sarāy_, a palace or inn.] [176] [The remaining seventy lines of stanza xx. were not included in the original MS., but were sent to the publisher in successive instalments while the poem was passing through the press.] [177] [In the first draft of a supplementary fragment, line 883 ran thus-- / _a fancied_ \ _"and tints tomorrow with_ { } _ray_." \ _an airy_ / A note was appended-- "Mr. M^y.^ Choose which of the 2 epithets 'fancied' or 'airy' may be best--or if neither will do--tell me and I will dream another-- "Yours, "B^n^" The epithet ("prophetic") which stands in the text was inserted in a revise dated December 3, 1813. Two other versions were also sent, that Gifford might select that which was "best, or rather _not worst_"-- / _gilds_ \ "_And_ { } _the hope of morning with its ray_." \ _tints_ / "_And gilds to-morrow's hope with heavenly ray_." (_Letters_, 1898, ii. 282.) On the same date, December 3rd, two additional lines were affixed to the quatrain (lines 886-889)-- _"Soft as the Mecca Muezzin's strains invite_ _Him who hath journeyed far to join the rite."_ And in a later revise, as "a last alteration"-- _"Blest as the call which from Medina's dome_ _Invites devotion to her Prophet's tomb."_ An erased version of this "last alteration" ran thus-- _"Blest as the Muezzin's strain from Mecca's dome_ _Which welcomes Faith to view her Prophet's tomb_."{A}
