Identity of text being read is uncertain. It could be 'A specimen of Persian poetry: or, odes of Hafez ... from the specimen poeseos Persicae of Baron Revisky ...', 1774 or the original 'Specimen poesoes Persicae, sive, Muhammedis ... Haphyzi ghazelae ... by K.I.S. Reviczky', 1771. This is one of a group of some 70 works read mainly while journeying, with Edward Strachey, between a post in Benares and his next posting in Poona. |
