    Solomon Ibn Gabirol

    Side by side

    I\'M PRINCE TO THE POEM

    I’m prince to the poem my slave,
       I’m harp to the court musicians,
    my song is a turban for viziers’ heads,
       a crown for kings in their kingdoms:

    and here I’ve lived just sixteen years,
       and my heart is like eighty within them.
