29 & 31 Beekman Street, N. Y. THE HISTORY OF ALADDIN, OR THE WONDERFUL LAMP.
Aladdin poor the wizard found, Who moved from cavern’s mouth a stone; Then bade him go beneath the ground, And pace through unknown realms alone, Till from a niche he bore away A lamp—extinguishing its ray.
The youth obedient instant hied, When fruits luxuriant met his sight; The white were pearls in snowy pride, Diamonds the clear—of brilliant light; For red the rubies dazzling blazed, Whereof Aladdin gathered store; Then on the lamp in rapture gazed, And from its niche the treasure bore.
Regained his home, he seized anon The lamp, and cried “straight bring me food;” The Genii instantly was gone, But soon again before him stood.
