Indeed, your countenance is like the full moon, and your eyes resemble the leaves of the autumnal lotus, and your body is fragrant as the lotus itself.

'Capital! capital! cried the King, 'that's the way to do it! so, seizing his zither, he began to thrum away like one possessed. And as they danced, the Queen, the King, the Prince, and the maidservant sang 'The ugly hen painted. By jealousy tainted, The pretty hen dyed.
O thou beloved maidservant of God, although the loss of a son is indeed heart-breaking and beyond the limits of human endurance, yet one who knoweth and understandeth is assured that the son hath not been lost but, rather, hath stepped from this world into another, and she will find him in the divine realm.
