    • a. 540, Imruʾ al-Qays, أمِنْ ذِكرِ سلمَى أنْ نأتْكَ تَنوصُ :
      وَذِي أُشُرٍ تَشُوقُهُ وَتَشُوصُ
      مَنَابِتُهُ مِثْلُ السُدُوسِ وَلَوْنُهُ
      كَشَوْكِ السِيَالِ فَهْوَ عَذْبٌ يَفِيصُ

      And these between-times thrutch him to and fro and rapture,
      its plantings equalling woad and the colour it passes,
      like milk-vetch, it’s a thing with but a sweetness that lapses.
