_Sheba. Ophir._--The identity of this locality with the
southern coast of Arabia is beyond a doubt.--_Page 309._
"_Fairer, etc._"--These verses are translated from some later
Arabian poetry. Oriental taste has altered so little, that
I may claim to be pardoned for putting into the mouth of a
Phœnician, a thousand years before the Christian era, some
poetry belonging to a period a thousand years after.--_Page
310._
