"The Mahommedan may be able to help us," she pointed out. "In any event let us wait until the moon wanes. That is the darkest hour. We do not know what may happen meanwhile."
There can be no doubt that my beloved is handsomer than thine; nevertheless I pardon thee. Then she wrote him a patent of manumission and said to Keshkesh, 'Help Dehnesh to take up his mistress and carry her back to her own place, for the night wanes apace and there is but little left of it.

After a time the struggle wanes, or maybe the bed collapses; and you drift back into sleep.
Three treasures, love, and light, And calm thoughts regular as infant's breath: And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, Himself, his Maker, and the angel Death. A familiar instance will make these words intelligible. The moon waxes and wanes according to a necessary law.
