no man shall have deflowered before them, neither any Jinn: (Which,
therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will ye ungratefully deny?) _Having
complexions_ like rubies and pearls. Which, therefore, of your LORD'S
benefits will ye ungratefully deny? _Shall_ the reward of good works
_be_ any other good? Which, therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will ye
ungratefully deny? And besides these there _shall be_ two _other_
gardens: (Which, therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will ye
ungratefully deny?) Of a dark green. Which, therefore, of your LORD'S
benefits will ye ungratefully deny? In each of them _shall be_ two
fountains pouring forth plenty of water. Which, therefore, of your
LORD'S benefits will ye ungratefully deny? In each of them _shall be_
fruits, and palm-trees, and pomegranates. Which, therefore, of your
LORD'S benefits will ye ungratefully deny? Therein _shall be_ agreeable
and beauteous _damsels_: Which, therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will
ye ungratefully deny? Whom no man shall have deflowered before _their
