Where's thy remedy, O Taleb Thy remedy is lost, my good Lord Taleb Pray God for me, O Taleb, I implore But how to cure the malady of love There is no remedy, and all is lost I die for lack of strength to bear my trials It is to thee that I intrust myself The healer who must bring rest to my heart For now a living brand burns in my breast If thou art skilful, find a cure for me 1] This elegy is the work of a celebrated sheik of Tlemcen, Mahomet-Ben-Sahla, whose period was the first half of the eighteenth century.— Moorish Literature
