I would not do it. It is only what I say to myself as I smoke, or at night out in the desert. I say to myself, ""Bel-Narb is King in Thalanna."" And then I say, ""Chamberlain, bring Skarmi here with his brandy and his lanterns and boards to play skabash, and let all the town come and drink before the palace and magnify my name.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
