VOX POPULI

by: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

      HEN Mazárvan the Magician
      Journeyed westward through Cathay,
      Nothing heard he but the praises
      Of Badoura on his way.
       
      But the lessening rumor ended
      When he came to Khaledan;
      There the folk were talking only
      Of Prince Camaralzaman.
       
      So it happens with the poets;
      Every province hath its own;
      Camaralzaman is famous,
      Where Badoura is unknown!
