To El Moeyleh, where are fine pasture-grounds and good water: here the caravan halts for the night, and remains till the next evening. To Selma, a place yielding water. To Kalat Ezlam. To El Astabel, or Astabel Antar: the only water here is in a few holes dug in the sands of the valley, To Kalat el Wodjeh, where there is good water: they halt this night, and next evening proceed
All the chieftains who surrounded the king congratulated Antar, and one of his friends, in order to give the court a complete idea of this young man's remarkable gifts, asked him to recite some of his verses. In compliance with this request he recited a poem in praise of warriors and war, and the king and all the court manifested their delight.
"What a beautiful horse that is in the pasture," she thought, and then her attention went to a meadow lark flushed and exultant. She heard shouts, and now why was Jim, the stable boy, running toward her so fast, carrying a pitchfork in his hands and shouting: "Whoa there, Antar Antar, you, sir!" And the horse! One look was enough.
Soon the horsemen of Ghitfan and Dibyan arrived, for they were of the same territory, and because of their friendly relations and kinship were comprised as one tribe under the name of Adnan. King Cais had begged Antar not to show himself on this occasion, fearing that his appearance might cause dissension. Antar listened to this advice, but was unable to rest quiet in the tents.
The Antar melody plays in the clangor of big climax in sonorous tones of the low brass, against a quick martial phrase of trumpets and horns. Again there is in this movement no sign of the fairy queen.

'No; but we have seen many evil eyes. Four hares crossed our path this morning. Our salaam to the English prince was not a salaam of peace. The brother of the Queen of the English is no less than an Antar. He will fight, yea or nay; and he has shot Sheikh Salem through the head. 'There is but one God, and His will be done. I have lost the apple of mine eye. The Prince of the English is alive?
Was Clitus the brother-in-law of Alexander the Great less to be honored because he happened to be black? Was Terence less famous? The medieval European world, developing under the favorable physical conditions of the north temperate zone, knew the black man chiefly as a legend or occasional curiosity, but still as a fellow man an Othello or a Prester John or an Antar.
Then Semiah, distressed by the sight of this unjust treatment, took off her veil, letting her hair fall over her shoulders, took Antar into her arms and told all that had happened and how she and all the other women of her tribe were indebted to this hero for their honor and liberty. Shedad could not restrain his tenderness on learning the magnanimity of his son's silence.
