`Alī-mazīd _Qūchīn_ was another;[164] he rebelled twice, once at Akhsī, once at Tāshkīnt. He was disloyal, untrue to his salt, vicious and good-for-nothing. Ḥasan (son of) Yaq`ūb was another, a small-minded, good-tempered, smart and active man. This verse is his:— "Return, O Huma, for without the parrot-down of thy lip, The crow will assuredly soon carry off my bones."[165] [Sidenote: Fol. 14.] He was brave, a good archer, played polo (_chaughān_) well and leapt well at leap-frog.[166] He had the control of my Gate after `Umar Shaikh Mīrzā's accident. He had not much sense, was narrow-minded and somewhat of a strife-stirrer.
