- 1. Ballade Of The Golfer In Love
In the "foursome" some would fain
Find nepenthe for their woe;
Following through shine or rain
Where the "greens" like satin show;

Who was very unlike his elder one,
For he went about on his own affairs,
And scorned the mosque and the daily prayers;

Through mountain passes bleak and brown,
The cloudless day was well-nigh done.
