Ref'et Beg

Ref'et Beg is represented in Gibb's anthology by a patriotic sharqi, a song of the Ottoman soldier, from the Tanzimat period; Gibb prints no dates for him.

The poems here are taken from E. J. W. Gibb's Ottoman Poems (1882), the first English verse translations of Ottoman poetry; dates and biographical details follow Gibb's Biographical Notices.
