[80] {104} "Salam aleikoum! aleikoum salam!" peace be with you; be with you peace--the salutation reserved for the faithful:--to a Christian, "Urlarula!" a good journey; or "saban hiresem, saban serula," good morn, good even; and sometimes, "may your end be happy!" are the usual salutes. ["After both sets of prayers, Farz and Sunnah, the Moslem looks over his right shoulder, and says, 'The Peace (of Allah) be upon you and the ruth of Allah,' and repeats the words over the left shoulder. The salutation is addressed to the Guardian Angels, or to the bystanders (Moslem), who, however, do not return it."--_Arabian Nights_, by Richard F. Burton, 1887: _Supplemental Nights_, i. 14, note.] [dk] _Take ye and give ye that salam_, _That says of Moslem faith I am_.--[MS.] [dl] _Which one of yonder barks may wait_.--[MS.] [81] [In the MS. and the first five editions the broken line (373) consisted of two words only, "That one."] [82] The blue-winged butterfly of Kashmeer, the most rare and beautiful of the species. [The same insects (butterflies of Cachemir) are celebrated in an unpublished poem of Mesihi.... Sir Anthony Shirley relates that it was customary in Persia "to hawk after butterflies with sparrows, made to that use."--Note by S. Henley to _Vathek_, ed. 1893, p. 222. Byron, in his Journal, December 1, 1813, speaks of Lady Charlemont as "that blue-winged Kashmirian butterfly of book-learning."] [dm] _If caught, to fate alike betrayed_.-[MS.] [dn] {106} _The gathering flames around her close_.-[MS. erased.] [83] {107} Alluding to the dubious suicide of the scorpion, so placed for experiment by gentle philosophers. Some maintain that the position of the sting, when turned towards the head, is merely a convulsive movement; but others have actually brought in the verdict "Felo de se." The scorpions are surely interested in a speedy decision of the question; as, if once fairly established as insect Catos, they will probably be allowed to live as long as they think proper, without being martyred for the sake of an hypothesis. [Byron assured Dallas that the simile of the scorpion was imagined in his sleep.--_Recollections of the Life of Lord Byron_, by R. C. Dallas, p. 264. "Probably in some instances the poor scorpion has been burnt to death; and the well-known habit of these creatures to raise the tail over the back and recurve it so that the extremity touches the fore part of the cephalo-thorax, has led to the idea that it was stinging itself."--_Encycl. Brit_., art. "Arachnida," by Rev. O. P. Cambridge, ii. 281.] [do] _So writhes the mind by Conscience riven_.--[MS.] [84] The cannon at sunset close the Rhamazan. [Compare _Childe Harold_, Canto II. stanza Iv. line 5, _Poetical Works_, 1899, ii. 134. note 2.] [85] {108} Phingari, the moon. [φεγγάρι [phenga/ri] is derived from φεγγάριον, [phenga/rion,] dim. of φέγγος [phe/ngos].]
