a sort of Mahometan friars, who once a-week spend great part of the night in turning round, holding each other's hand, and repeating incessantly the word hai, which signifies living, and is one of the attributes of God; during which one of them plays on a flute. They never cut their hair, nor cover their heads, and always go bare footed; they have liberty to quit their convent when they please, and to marry.
