/// Brit ambassador’s daughter must ride
to the church, where she’ll soon be a bride.
Men, (who wear fezzes there),
hoist a black sedan chair,
a palanquin, and she is inside.
/// In this Empire of Ottoman Turks,
she is carried by embassy clerks.
Since their load isn’t light,
if their hands don’t seem right
see their shoulder straps— that’s how this works.
/// The big soldier who brings up the rear
could provide extra muscle right here.
He’s more useful, by far,
with his sharp scimitar,
as protection. He generates fear.
