THE
Vision of Almet, &c.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ALMET the Derviſe, who watched the ſacred lamp in the ſepulchre of the Prophet as he one day roſe up from the devotions of the morning, which he had performed at the gate of the temple, with his body turned towards the Eaſt, and his forehead upon ⟨the⟩ earth, he ſaw before him a man in ⟨ſplendid⟩ apparel, attended by a long retinue, who gazed ſtedfaſtly on him, with ⟨a⟩ look of mournful complacency, and ⟨ſeemed⟩ deſirous to ſpeak, but unwilling ⟨to⟩ offend.
The Derviſe, after a ſhort ſilence, advanced and ſaluted him with the calm ⟨dignity⟩, which independence confers ⟨upon⟩ humility, requeſted that he would ⟨reveal⟩ his purpoſe.
