it is six months since I entered the city nor did I set eyes on the stuffs until they were brought hither Quoth we Show us the stuffs So he

carried us to a place wherein was a pit beside the water-wheel and digging there brought out the stolen goods with not a stitch of them missing

So we took them and carried the keeper to the prefecture where we stripped him and beat him with palm-rods till he confessed to thefts galore

whilst she was amazed at that which she saw in that place and magnified her Lord (extolled be His perfection and exalted be He) and hallowed

Him Then the kings of the Jinn came up to the throne and seated themselves thereon and they were in the semblance of mortals excepting two of

them who were in the semblance of the Jinn with eyes slit endlong and jutting horns and projecting tusks After this there came up a young lady

fair of favour and pleasant of parts the light of her face outshone that of the flambeaux and about her were other three women than whom there

were no fairer on the face of the earth They saluted Tuhfeh and she rose to them and kissed the earth before them whereupon they embraced her

and sat down on the chairs aforesaid[Then they all flew off in haste and] lighting down in the place where were their father Es Shisban and their

grandfather the Sheikh Aboultawaif found the folk on the sorriest of plights When their grandfather Iblis saw them he rose to them and wept and

they all wept for Tuhfeh Then said Iblis to them Yonder dog hath outraged mine honour and taken Tuhfeh and I doubt not but that she is like to

perish [of concern] for herself and her lord Er Reshid and saying All that they said and did (239) was false Quoth Kemeriyeh O grandfather

mine there is nothing left for it but [to use] stratagem and contrivance for her deliverance for that she is dearer to me than everything and know

that yonder accursed one whenas he is ware of your coming upon him will know that he hath no power to cope with you he who is the least and

meanest [of the Jinn] but we fear that when he is assured of defeat he will kill Tuhfeh wherefore nothing will serve but that we contrive for her

deliverance else will she perish And what hast thou in mind of device asked he and she answered Let us take him with fair means and if he

obey [all will be well] else will we practise stratagem against him and look thou not to other than myself for her deliverance Quoth Iblis The

affair is thine contrive what thou wilt for that Tuhfeh is thy sister and thy solicitude for her is more effectual than [that of] any An if my

forth of the underground dungeon and caused him draw near to him and saw his case Then he bestowed on him a dress of honour and the folk

rejoiced in this Moreover he tied him an ensign (134) and giving him a numerous army despatched him to the region aforesaid whither all who

went were still slain or made prisoners So Melik Shah betook himself thither with his army and when it was one of the days behold the enemy

fell in upon them in the night whereupon some of his men fled and the rest the enemy took and they took Melik Shah also and cast him into an

underground dungeon with a company of his men There he abode a whole year in evil plight whilst his fellows mourned over his beauty and

dcclvi[Aforetime] I journeyed in [many] lands and climes and towns and visited the great cities and traversed the ways and [exposed myself to]

dangers and hardships Towards the last of my life I entered a city [of the cities of China] (155) wherein was a king of the Chosroes and the

Tubbas (156) and the Caesars (157) Now that city had been peopled with its inhabitants by means of justice and equitable dealing but its [then]

king was a tyrant who despoiled souls and [did away] lives there was no wanning oneself at his fire (158) for that indeed he oppressed the true

believers and wasted the lands Now he had a younger brother who was [king] in Samarcand of the Persians and the two kings abode a while of

time each in his own city and place till they yearned unto each other and the elder king despatched his vizier in quest of his younger

brotherWhen it was the ninth day the viziers [foregathered and] said one to another Verily this youth baffleth us for as often as the king is

minded to put him to death he beguileth him and ensorcelleth him with a story so what deem ye we should do that we may slay him and be at rest

from him Then they took counsel together and were of accord that they should go to the kings wife [and prompt her to urge the king to slaughter

the youth So they betook themselves to her] and said to her Thou art heedless of this affair wherein thou art and this heedlessness will not profit

thee whilst the king is occupied with eating and drinking and diversion and forgetteth that the folk beat upon tabrets and sing of thee and say The

kings wife loveth the youth and what while he abideth on life the talk will increase and not diminish Quoth she By Allah it was ye set me on

against him and what shall I do [now] And they answered Do thou go in to the king and weep and say to him Verily the women come to me

and tell me that I am become a byword in the city and what is thine advantage in the sparing of this youth If thou wilt not slay him slay me so

this talk may be estopped from us The intercessor who to thee herself presenteth veiled Is not her like who naked comes with thee to

intercedeWhen the day departed and the evening came the king sat in his privy chamber and summoned the vizier who presented himself to him

and he questioned him of the story So the vizier said Know O august king thatWhen Abou Temam returned with [news of] the accomplishment

of his errand and brought the presents and the letter King Ilan Shah rejoiced in this and redoubled in showing him honour and made much of him

Some days thereafterward the king of Turkestan sent his daughter and she went in to King Ilan Shah who rejoiced in her with an exceeding joy

and Abou Temams worth was exalted in his sight When the viziers saw this they redoubled in envy and despite and said An we contrive us not a

device to rid us of this man we shall perish of rage So they bethought them [and agreed upon] a device they should practiseThen they agreed

upon a device between them to wit that they should feign an occasion in their own country under pretext that she had there wealth buried from the

time of her husband Melik Shah and that none knew of it but this eunuch who was with her wherefore it behoved that he should go and fetch it So

she acquainted the king her husband with this and sought of him leave for the eunuch to go and the king granted him permission for the journey

and charged him cast about for a device lest any get wind of him Accordingly the eunuch disguised himself as a merchant and repairing to

Belehwans city began to enquire concerning the youths case whereupon they told him that he had been prisoned in an underground dungeon and

that his uncle had released him and dispatched him to such a place where they had slain him When the eunuch heard this it was grievous to him

and his breast was straitened and he knew not what he should doEl Abbas went in and passed from place to place and chamber to chamber till he

came to the chamber aforesaid and espied the portrait of Mariyeh whereupon he fell down in a swoon and the workmen went to his father and said

to him Thy son El Abbas hath swooned away So the king came and finding the prince cast down seated himself at his head and bathed his face

with rose-water After awhile he revived and the king said to him God keep thee (60) O my son What hath befallen thee O my father

answered the prince I did but look on yonder picture and it bequeathed me a thousand regrets and there befell me that which thou seest

Therewithal the king bade fetch the [chief] painter and when he stood before him he said to him Tell me of yonder portrait and what girl is this

of the daughters of the kings else will I take thy head By Allah O king answered the painter I limned it not neither know I who she is but

there came to me a poor man and looked at me So I said to him Knowest thou the art of painting And he replied Yes Whereupon I gave him

the gear and said to him Make us a rare piece of work So he wrought yonder portrait and went away and I know him not neither have I ever set

eyes on him save that day Indeed thoust told the tale of kings and men of might Each one a lion fierce impetuous in the fight

My body is dissolved with sufferance in vain Relenting ay and grace I hoped should yet betideA certain thief was a [cunning] workman and

used not to steal aught till he had spent all that was with him moreover he stole not from his neighbours neither companied with any of the

thieves lest some one should come to know him and his case get wind On this wise he abode a great while in flourishing case and his secret was

concealed till God the Most High decreed that he broke in upon a poor man deeming that he was rich When he entered the house he found

nought whereat he was wroth and necessity prompted him to wake the man who was asleep with his wife So he aroused him and said to him

Show me thy treasureWhen his father saw the strength of his determination to travel he fell in with his wishes and equipped him with five

thousand dinars in cash and the like in merchandise and sent with him two serving-men So the youth set out trusting in the blessing of God the

Most High and his father went out with him to take leave of him and returned [to Damascus] As for Noureddin Ali he gave not over travelling

days and nights till he entered the city of Baghdad and laying up his loads in the caravanserai made for the bath where he did away that which was

upon him of the dirt of the road and putting off his travelling clothes donned a costly suit of Yemen stuff worth an hundred dinars Then he put in

his sleeve (6) a thousand mithcals (7) of gold and sallied forth a-walking and swaying gracefully as he went His gait confounded all those who

beheld him as he shamed the branches with his shape and belittled the rose with the redness of his cheeks and his black eyes of Babylonian

witchcraft indeed thou wouldst deem that whoso looked on him would surely be preserved from calamity [for he was] even as saith of him one of

his describers in the following versesThe Twenty-Fourth Night of the Month34 The City of Irem dxxxviiiWhen King Shehriyar heard his

brothers words he rejoiced with an exceeding joy and said Verily this is what I had wished O my brother So praised be God who hath brought

about union between us Then he sent after the Cadis and learned men and captains and notables and they married the two brothers to the two

sisters The contracts were drawn up and the two kings bestowed dresses of honour of silk and satin on those who were present whilst the city was

decorated and the festivities were renewed The king commanded each amir and vizier and chamberlain and deputy to decorate his palace and the

folk of the city rejoiced in the presage of happiness and content Moreover King Shehriyar bade slaughter sheep and get up kitchens and made

bride-feasts and fed all comers high and low61 Abou Nuwas with the three Boys and the Khalif Haroun er Reshid ccclxxxi Drink ever

i 73Then he left beating him and when the thief came to himself the woman said to her husband O man this house is on hire and we owe its

owners much money and we have nought so how wilt thou do And she went on to bespeak him thus Quoth the thief And what is the amount of

the rent It will be fourscore dirhems answered the husband and the thief said I will pay this for thee and do thou let me go my way Then said

the wife O man how much do we owe the baker and the greengrocer Quoth the thief What is the sum of this And the husband said Sixscore

dirhems That makes two hundred dirhems rejoined the other let me go my way and I will pay them But the wife said O my dear one and the


Page 28


girl groweth up and needs must we marry her and equip her and [do] what else is needful So the thief said to the husband How much dost thou

want And he answered A hundred dirhems in the way of moderation (250) Quoth the thief That makes three hundred dirhems And the

woman said O my dear one when the girl is married thou wilt need money for winter expenses charcoal and firewood and other necessaries

What wouldst thou have asked the thief and she said A hundred dirhems Be it four hundred dirhems rejoined he and she said O my dear

one and solace of mine eyes needs must my husband have capital in hand wherewith he may buy merchandise and open him a shop How much

will that be asked he and she said A hundred dirhems Quoth the thief [That makes five hundred dirhems I will pay it] but may I be divorced

from my wife if all my possessions amount to more than this and that the savings of twenty years Let me go my way so I may deliver them to

thee O fool answered she how shall I let thee go thy way Give me a right token [So he gave her a token for his wife] and she cried out to her

young daughter and said to her Keep this doorAs for Mesrour he gave not over running till he came to the by-street [wherein was the house] of

Aboulhusn el Khelia Now the latter was sitting reclining at the lattice and chancing to look round saw Mesrour running along the street and said

to Nuzhet el Fuad Meseemeth the Khalif when I went forth from him dismissed the Divan and went in to the Lady Zubeideh to condole with her

[for thee] whereupon she arose and condoled with him [for me] saying God greaten thy recompence for [the loss of] Aboulhusn el Khelia And

he said to her None is dead save Nuzhet el Fuad may thy head outlive her Quoth she It is not she who is dead but Aboulhusn el Khelia thy

boon-companion And he to her None is dead but Nuzhet el Fuad And they gainsaid one another till the Khalif waxed wroth and they laid a

wager and he hath sent Mesrour the sword- bearer to see who is dead Wherefore it were best that thou lie down so he may see thee and go and

acquaint the Khalif and confirm my saying So Nuzhet el Fuad stretched herself out and Aboulhusn covered her with her veil and sat at her head

weepingThen he braced up his courage and gathering his skirts about him threw himself into the water and it bore him along with an exceeding

might and carrying him under the earth stayed not till it brought him out into a deep valley wherethrough ran a great river that welled up from

under the earth When he found himself on the surface of the earth he abode perplexed and dazed all that day after which he came to himself and

rising fared on along the valley till he came to an inhabited land and a great village in the dominions of the king his father So he entered the

village and foregathered with its inhabitants who questioned him of his case whereupon he related to them his history and they marvelled at him

how God had delivered him from all this Then he took up his abode with them and they loved him exceedinglyPicture The Prince who fell in

and queen abode in the island over against the old man and woman and ate of the fruits that were in the island and drank of its waters till one

day as they sat there came a ship and moored to the side of the island to fill up with water whereupon they (63) looked at each other and spoke

The master of the ship was a Magian and all that was therein both men and goods belonged to him for that he was a merchant and went round

about the world Now covetise deluded the old man the owner of the island and he went up [into the ship] and gave the Magian news of the kings

wife setting out to him her charms till he made him yearn unto her and his soul prompted him to use treachery and practise upon her and take her

from her hnsband So he sent to her saying With us in the ship is a woman with child and we fear lest she be delivered this night Hast thou skill

in the delivering of women And she answered Yes Now it was the last of the day so he sent to her to come up into the ship and deliver the

woman for that the pangs of labour were come upon her and he promised her clothes and spending-money Accordingly she embarked in all

assurance with a heart at ease for herself and transported her gear to the ship but no sooner was she come thither than the anchors were weighed

and the canvas spread and the ship set sailEL MAMOUN AND ZUBEIDEH (163) Nay though ye read therein discourse that sure should

speak To heart and soul no word thereunto ye repliedWhen the king heard this story he renounced his purpose of putting the vizier to death and

his soul prompted him to continue him on life So he bade him go away to his house93 El Feth ben Khacan and El Mutawekkil dclxxxiii

What is there in the tents Their burdens are become A lovers whose belovd is in the litters shrinedThen they brought trays and tables and

amongst the rest a platter of red gold inlaid with pearls and jewels its margents were of gold and emerald and thereon were graven the following

verses My tears flow still nor aye of bitterness Im quit Bewildered as I am betwixten hope and fearO father mine answered the

prince I have heard tell that in the land of Irak is a woman of the daughters of the kings and her father is called King Ins ben Cais lord of

Baghdad she is renowned for beauty and grace and brightness and perfection and indeed many folk have sought her in marriage of the kings but

her soul consented not unto any one of them Wherefore I am minded to travel to her for that my heart cleaveth unto her and I beseech thee suffer

me to go to her O my son answered his father thou knowest that I have none other than thyself of children and thou art the solace of mine

eyes and the fruit of mine entrails nay I cannot brook to be parted from thee an instant and I purpose to set thee on the throne of the kingship and

marry thee to one of the daughters of the kings who shall be fairer than she El Abbas gave ear to his fathers word and dared not gainsay him so

wailing to quench it I was fainKing who lost Kingdom and Wife and Wealth The ii 66Moreover King Shehriyar summoned chroniclers and

copyists and bade them write all that had betided him with his wife first and last so they wrote this and named it The Stories of the Thousand

Nights and One Night The book came to (195) thirty volumes and these the king laid up in his treasury Then the two kings abode with their

wives in all delight and solace of life for that indeed God the Most High had changed their mourning into joyance and on this wise they continued

till there took them the Destroyer of Delights and Sunderer of Companies he who maketh void the dwelling-places and peopleth the tombs and

and the pleasantest thereof and he was vouchsafed by her children and indeed there befell friendship and love between them and the longer their

companionship was prolonged the more their love waxed so that they became unable to endure from each other a single hour save the time of his

going forth to the Divan when he would return to her in the utterest that might be of longing Aud on this wise they abode in all solace and delight

of life till there came to them the Destroyer of Delights and the Sunderer of Companies So extolled be the perfection of Him whose kingdom

endureth for ever who is never heedless neither dieth nor sleepeth This is all that hath come down to us of their story and so peace [be on

you]Thereupon the folk all cried out saying We accept him to king over us And they did him suit and service and gave him joy of the kingship

So the preachers preached in his name (76) and the poets praised him and he lavished gifts upon the troops and the officers of his household and

overwhelmed them with favours and bounties and was prodigal to the people of justice and equitable dealings and goodly usance and polity When

he had accomplished this much of his desire he caused bring forth the cook and his household to the divan but spared the old woman who had

tended him for that she had been the cause of his deliverance Then they assembled them all without the town and he tormented the cook and those

who were with him with all manner of torments after which he put him to death on the sorriest wise and burning him with fire scattered his ashes

abroad in the airTo return to his sister Selma She awaited him till the last of the day but he came not and she awaited him a second day and a

third and a fourth yet there came no news of him wherefore she wept and beat with her hands on her breast and bethought her of her affair and her

strangerhood and her brothers absence and she recited the following verses As at the casement high she sat her charms I might espy For

from her cheeks the envious veil that hid them she had taenThe eunuch heard the smiting of the lute within the chamber and said By Allah that

is my lady Tuhfehs touch So he arose and went as he were a madman falling down and rising up till he came to the eunuch on guard at the door

at the Commander of the Faithful and found him sitting When the latter saw him and he like a madman falling down and rising up he said to him

What aileth thee and what bringeth thee hither at this hour Quoth the other Wilt thou not make haste and awaken the Commander of the

Faithful And he fell to crying out at him whereupon the Khalif awoke and heard them bandying words together and Tuhfehs servant saying to

the other Out on thee Awaken the Commander of the Faithful in haste So he said O Sewab what aileth thee And the chief eunuch answered

saying O our lord the eunuch of Tuhfehs lodging hath taken leave of his wits and saith Awaken the Commander of the Faithful in haste Then

said Er Reshid to one of the slave-girls See what is to doThereupon they all dismounted and putting off that which was upon them of harness of

war came before El Abbas and tendered him allegiance and sued for his protection So he held his hand from them and bade them gather together

the spoils Then he took the riches and the slaves and the camels and they all became his liege-men and his retainers to the number (according to

that which is said) of fifty thousand horse Moreover the folk heard of him and flocked to him from all sides whereupon he divided [the spoil

amongst them] and gave gifts and abode thus three days and there came presents to him Then he bade set out for Akils abiding-place so they

fared on six days and on the seventh day they came in sight of the camp El Abbas bade his man Aamir forego him and give Akil the glad news of

his cousins coming So he rode on to the camp and going in to Akil gave him the glad news of Zuheirs slaughter and the conquest of his

tribeForehead Of that which is written on the i 136Presently the vizier heard of the merchants coming so he sent to him and let bring him to

his house and talked with him awhile of his travels and of that which he had abidden therein and the merchant answered him thereof Then said the

vizier I will put certain questions to thee which if thou answer me it will be well [for thee] And the merchant rose and made him no answer

Quoth the vizier What is the weight of the elephant The merchant was perplexed and returned him no answer and gave himself up for lost Then

said he Grant me three days time So the vizier granted him the delay he sought and he returned to his lodging and related what had passed to the

old woman who said When the morrow cometh go to the vizier and say to him Make a ship and launch it on the sea and put in it an elephant

and when it sinketh in the water [under the beasts weight] mark the place to which the water riseth Then take out the elephant and cast in stones

in its place till the ship sink to the mark aforesaid whereupon do thou take out the stones and weigh them and thou wilt know the weight of the

elephantWhen her husband heard this he said to her What is thy name and what are the names of thy father and mother She told him their

names and her own whereby he knew that it was she whose belly he had slit and said to her And where are thy father and mother They are both

dead answered she and he said I am that journeyman who slit thy belly Quoth she Why didst thou that And he replied Because of a saying I

heard from the wise woman What was it asked his wife and he said She avouched that thou wouldst play the harlot with a hundied men and

that I should after take thee to wife Quoth she Ay I have whored it with a hundred men no more and no less and behold thou hast married me

Moreover continued her husband the wise woman foresaid also that thou shouldst die at the last of thy life of the bite of a spider Indeed her

saying hath been verified of the harlotry and the marriage and I fear lest her word come true no less in the matter of thy deathThen he could

brook this no longer so he went forth from the dominions of the Commander of the Faithful under pretence of visiting certain of his kinsmen and

took with him servant nor companion neither acquainted any with his intent but betook himself to the road and fared on into the desert and the

sandwastes knowing not whither he went After awhile he fell in with travellers intending for the land of Hind [and journeyed with them] When

he came thither he lighted down [in a city of the cities of the land and took up his abode] in one of the lodging-places and there he abode a while

of days tasting not food neither solacing himself with the delight of sleep nor was this for lack of dirhems or dinars but for that his mind was

occupied with musing upon [the reverses of] destiny and bemoaning himself for that the revolving sphere had turned against him and the days had

decreed unto him the disfavour of our lord the Imam (160) For whom is thy departure even as a fathers loss To fly or creep like

nestlings alone they strive in vain141 Haroun er Reshid and the Arab Girl dclxxxv o The Man who was lavish of his House and his

Victual to one whom he knew not dccccivWhen Shefikeh saw that which betided him she came forward and said to him O bountiful lord indeed

my mistress returneth not the mantle and the necklace despitefully but she is about to depart the world and thou hast the best right to them And

what is the cause of this asked he Quoth Shefikeh Thou knowest By Allah never among the Arabs nor the barbarians nor among the sons of

the kings saw I a harder of heart than thou Is it a light matter to thee that thou troublest Mariyehs life and causest her mourn for herself and depart

the world on account of (110) thy youth Indeed thou wast the cause of her acquaintance with thee and now she departeth the world on thine

account she whose like God the Most High hath not created among the daughters of the kingsThe folk marvelled at this story and as for the

prefect and El Melik ez Zahir they said Wrought ever any the like of this device And they marvelled with the utterest of wonderment Then arose

a third officer and said Hear what betided me for it is yet stranger and more extraordinaryWhen Bekhtzeman heard this he awoke from his

heedlessness and said Extolled be the perfection of God the Great O king this is my case and my story nothing added and nought diminished for

I am King Bekhtzeman and all this happened to me wherefore I will seek the gate of God[s mercy] and repent unto Him So he went forth to one

of the mountains and there worshipped God awhile till one night as he slept one appeared to him in a dream and said to him O Bekhtzeman God

accepteth thy repentance and openeth on thee [the gate of succour] and will further thee against thine enemy When he was certified of this in the

dream he arose and turned back intending for his own city and when he drew near thereunto he saw a company of the kings retainers who said

to him Whence art thou We see that thou art a stranger and fear for thee from this king for that every stranger who enters this city he destroys

him of his fear of King Bekhtzeman Quoth Bekhtzeman None shall hurt him nor advantage him save God the Most High And they answered

saying Indeed he hath a vast army and his heart is fortified in the multitude of his troops For twixt the closing of an eye and thopening

thereof God hath it in His power to change a case from foul to fairNow this present was a horse worth ten thousand dinars and all its housings and

trappings of gold set with jewels and a book and five different kinds of suits of apparel and an hundred pieces of fine white linen cloths of Egypt

and silks of Suez and Cufa and Alexandria and a crimson carpet and another of Tebaristan (217) make and an hundred pieces of cloth of silk and

flax mingled and a goblet of glass of the time of the Pharaohs a finger-breadth thick and a span wide amiddleward which was the figure of a lion

and before him an archer kneeling with his arrow drawn to the head and the table of Solomon son of David (218) on whom be peace and the

contents of the letter were as follows From the Khalif Haroun er Reshid unto whom and to his forefathers (on whom be peace) God hath

vouchsafed the rank of the noble and exceeding glory to the august God-aided Sultan greeting Thy letter hath reached us and we rejoiced therein

and have sent thee the book [called] The Divan of Hearts and the Garden of Wits of the translation whereof when thou hast taken cognizance its

excellence will be established in thine eyes and the superscription of this book we have made unto thee Moreover we send thee divers other

kingly presents (219) so do thou favour us by accepting them and peace be on theeHe returned them the most gracious of answers and bade

carry the Magian forth of the town and set him on a high scaffold that had been builded for him there and he said to the folk Behold I will torture

him with all kinds of fashions of torment Then he fell to telling them that which he had wrought of knavery with the daughter of his fathers

brother and what he had caused betide her of severance between her and her husband and how he had required her of herself but she had sought

refuge against him with God (to whom belong might and majesty) and chose rather humiliation than yield to his wishes notwithstanding stress of

torment neither recked she aught of that which he lavished to her of wealth and raiment and jewelsSo he left him for dead and entering his

brothers chamber saw him asleep with the damsel by his side and thought to slay her but said in himself I will leave the damsel for myself

Then he went up to his brother and cutting his throat severed his head from his body after which he left him and went away Therewithal the world

was straitened upon him and his life was a light matter to him and he sought his father Suleiman Shahs lodging that he might slay him but could

not win to him So he went forth from the palace and hid himself in the city till the morrow when he repaired to one of his fathers strengths and

fortified himself thereinThey tell that El Hejjaj (70) once commanded the Master of Police [of Bassora] to go round about [the city] by night and

whomsoever he found [abroad] after nightfall that he should strike off his head So he went round one night of the nights and came upon three

youths staggering from side to side and on them signs of [intoxication with] wine So the officers laid hold of them and the captain of the watch

said to them Who are ye that ye transgress the commandment of the [lieutenant of the] Commander of the Faithful and come abroad at this hour

Quoth one of the youths I am the son of him to whom [all] necks (71) abase themselves alike the nose-pierced (72) of them and the

[bone-]breaker (73) they come to him in their own despite abject and submissive and he taketh of their wealth (74) and of their bloodThen

when he rode to his house that he had bought the shopkeeper and his wife came to him and gave him joy of his safety whereupon he ordered them

three swift thoroughbred horses and ten dromedaries and an hundred head of sheep and clad them both in sumptuous dresses of honour Then he

chose out ten slave-girls and ten black slaves and fifty horses and the like number of she- camels and three hundred head of sheep together with

twenty ounces of musk and as many of camphor and sent all this to the King of Baghdad When this came to Ins ben Cais his wit fled for joy and

her to the desert [and there abandon her] she bestowed on him a sumptuous dress of honour and said to him The like of thee it behoveth kings to

hold in favour and set in high place for that thou spokest loyally and well and a man is still requited according to his deed And Kisra the king

invested him with the governance of one of the provinces of his empire Know therefore O king continued the youth that whoso doth good is

requited therewith and he who is guiltless of sin and reproach feareth not the issue of his affair And I O king am free from guilt wherefore I trust

in God that He will show forth the truth and vouchsafe me the victory over enemies and enviersThen she came down from the tree and rent her

clothes and said O villain if these be thy dealings with me before my eyes how dost thou when thou art absent from me Quoth he What aileth

and tell me that I am become a byword in the city and what is thine advantage in the sparing of this youth If thou wilt not slay him slay me so

this talk may be estopped from us The intercessor who to thee herself presenteth veiled Is not her like who naked comes with thee to

intercedeWhen the day departed and the evening came the king sat in his privy chamber and summoned the vizier who presented himself to him

and he questioned him of the story So the vizier said Know O august king thatWhen Abou Temam returned with [news of] the accomplishment

of his errand and brought the presents and the letter King Ilan Shah rejoiced in this and redoubled in showing him honour and made much of him

Some days thereafterward the king of Turkestan sent his daughter and she went in to King Ilan Shah who rejoiced in her with an exceeding joy

and Abou Temams worth was exalted in his sight When the viziers saw this they redoubled in envy and despite and said An we contrive us not a

device to rid us of this man we shall perish of rage So they bethought them [and agreed upon] a device they should practiseThen they agreed

upon a device between them to wit that they should feign an occasion in their own country under pretext that she had there wealth buried from the

time of her husband Melik Shah and that none knew of it but this eunuch who was with her wherefore it behoved that he should go and fetch it So

she acquainted the king her husband with this and sought of him leave for the eunuch to go and the king granted him permission for the journey

and charged him cast about for a device lest any get wind of him Accordingly the eunuch disguised himself as a merchant and repairing to

Belehwans city began to enquire concerning the youths case whereupon they told him that he had been prisoned in an underground dungeon and

that his uncle had released him and dispatched him to such a place where they had slain him When the eunuch heard this it was grievous to him

and his breast was straitened and he knew not what he should doEl Abbas went in and passed from place to place and chamber to chamber till he

came to the chamber aforesaid and espied the portrait of Mariyeh whereupon he fell down in a swoon and the workmen went to his father and said

to him Thy son El Abbas hath swooned away So the king came and finding the prince cast down seated himself at his head and bathed his face

with rose-water After awhile he revived and the king said to him God keep thee (60) O my son What hath befallen thee O my father

answered the prince I did but look on yonder picture and it bequeathed me a thousand regrets and there befell me that which thou seest

Therewithal the king bade fetch the [chief] painter and when he stood before him he said to him Tell me of yonder portrait and what girl is this

of the daughters of the kings else will I take thy head By Allah O king answered the painter I limned it not neither know I who she is but

there came to me a poor man and looked at me So I said to him Knowest thou the art of painting And he replied Yes Whereupon I gave him

the gear and said to him Make us a rare piece of work So he wrought yonder portrait and went away and I know him not neither have I ever set

eyes on him save that day Indeed thoust told the tale of kings and men of might Each one a lion fierce impetuous in the fight

My body is dissolved with sufferance in vain Relenting ay and grace I hoped should yet betideA certain thief was a [cunning] workman and

used not to steal aught till he had spent all that was with him moreover he stole not from his neighbours neither companied with any of the

thieves lest some one should come to know him and his case get wind On this wise he abode a great while in flourishing case and his secret was

concealed till God the Most High decreed that he broke in upon a poor man deeming that he was rich When he entered the house he found

nought whereat he was wroth and necessity prompted him to wake the man who was asleep with his wife So he aroused him and said to him

Show me thy treasureWhen his father saw the strength of his determination to travel he fell in with his wishes and equipped him with five

thousand dinars in cash and the like in merchandise and sent with him two serving-men So the youth set out trusting in the blessing of God the

Most High and his father went out with him to take leave of him and returned [to Damascus] As for Noureddin Ali he gave not over travelling

days and nights till he entered the city of Baghdad and laying up his loads in the caravanserai made for the bath where he did away that which was

upon him of the dirt of the road and putting off his travelling clothes donned a costly suit of Yemen stuff worth an hundred dinars Then he put in

his sleeve (6) a thousand mithcals (7) of gold and sallied forth a-walking and swaying gracefully as he went His gait confounded all those who

beheld him as he shamed the branches with his shape and belittled the rose with the redness of his cheeks and his black eyes of Babylonian

witchcraft indeed thou wouldst deem that whoso looked on him would surely be preserved from calamity [for he was] even as saith of him one of

his describers in the following versesThe Twenty-Fourth Night of the Month34 The City of Irem dxxxviiiWhen King Shehriyar heard his

brothers words he rejoiced with an exceeding joy and said Verily this is what I had wished O my brother So praised be God who hath brought

about union between us Then he sent after the Cadis and learned men and captains and notables and they married the two brothers to the two

sisters The contracts were drawn up and the two kings bestowed dresses of honour of silk and satin on those who were present whilst the city was

decorated and the festivities were renewed The king commanded each amir and vizier and chamberlain and deputy to decorate his palace and the

folk of the city rejoiced in the presage of happiness and content Moreover King Shehriyar bade slaughter sheep and get up kitchens and made

bride-feasts and fed all comers high and low61 Abou Nuwas with the three Boys and the Khalif Haroun er Reshid ccclxxxi Drink ever

O lovers I rede you of wine And praise his desert who for yearning doth pineLooking to the Issues of Affairs Of i 80Unlucky Merchant The

i 73Then he left beating him and when the thief came to himself the woman said to her husband O man this house is on hire and we owe its

owners much money and we have nought so how wilt thou do And she went on to bespeak him thus Quoth the thief And what is the amount of

the rent It will be fourscore dirhems answered the husband and the thief said I will pay this for thee and do thou let me go my way Then said

the wife O man how much do we owe the baker and the greengrocer Quoth the thief What is the sum of this And the husband said Sixscore

dirhems That makes two hundred dirhems rejoined the other let me go my way and I will pay them But the wife said O my dear one and the
