Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Specimens of Macaronic Poetry
A Persian poet read to the celebrated Jami a gazel of his own composition, which Jami did not like: but the writer replied, it was, notwithstanding, a curious sonnet, for the letter aim was not to be found in any one of the words! Jami sarcastically re lied, 'you can do a better thing yet - take away all the elters from every word you have written.'
