The'King of Timbukhtu'（not'Bukhtu's well'pop.
Timbuctoo） had camels which reach Segelmesse （Sijalmas） or Darha，nine hundred miles in eight days at most. Lyon makes the Maherry （also called ElHeirie=Mahri） trot nine miles an hour for a long time.

A wretched Turk is thy heart's desire；
And to them thou showest thee dam and sire.
