Urgent request for poem



We urgently need a copy of Hsaya Maung Thaw Ka's Burmese translation of
William Cowper's poem entitled "The Solitude of Alexander Selkirk."  It was
referred to in one of Daw Suu's "Letters from Burma," and the last verse is
as follows:  

But the seafowl is gone to her nest,
The beast is laid down in his lair:
Even here is a season of rest,
And I to my cabin repair.
There is mercy in every place, And mercy,
        Encouraging thought!
Gives affliction a grace
And reconciles man to his lot. 

If any of you out there in cyberspace have it, please e-mail it us or fax it
to us at 81-3-5993-4755.

Thanks very much in advance.

Metta,
Aung Thu + Carol Schlenker
