His descent is indicated by his poetical name. He had a poeti­cal turn of mind. The following verses are his:—

“I know that in secret your glances are cast on me in my
affliction,
I know that thy pretended neglect of me is due only to
fear of strangers.”

“Her eyes draw me in my affliction to perform her behests;
She casts towards me a glance suffused with wrath.”*
