and even Moses. When you know that _Zuleika_ is the _Persian
poetical_ name for _Potiphar_'s wife, on whom and Joseph there is a
long poem, in the Persian, this will not surprise you. If you want
authority, look at Jones, D'Herbelot, Vathek, or the notes to the
Arabian Nights; and, if you think it necessary, model this into a
note.

"Alter, in the inscription, 'the most affectionate respect,' to
'with every sentiment of regard and respect.'"

Mussulman.]

TO MR. MURRAY.

"Nov. 14. 1813.

"I send you a note for the _ignorant_, but I really wonder at
finding _you_ among them. I don't care one lump of sugar for my
_poetry_; but for my _costume_ and my _correctness_ on those points
(of which I think the _funeral_ was a proof), I will combat
lustily.

"Yours," &c.
