'Take him, said she to one of her women, 'and carry him to the Dry Island. This island was only one frightful rock, where there was not a drop of water to be had. The waiting-woman took the bird, and in executing her princess's orders had compassion on King Beder's destiny. 'It would be a great pity, said she to herself, 'to let a prince, so worthy to live, die of hunger and thirst.
The earth has borne this monster long enough, and it is now high time she should be treated as she deserves. So saying, Abdallah put two cakes into King Beder's hands, bidding him keep them to make use of as he should direct. 'You told me, continued he, 'the sorceress made a cake last night; it was for you to eat, depend upon it; but take great care you do not touch it.

They began to eat, but drank hardly at all till the dessert came, when the queen caused a cup to be filled for her with excellent wine. She took it and drank to King Beder's health; then without putting it out of her hand, caused it to be filled again, and presented it to him.

Old Abdallah was exceedingly grieved, both on his own account and King Beder's, for being in a manner forced to obey the queen. 'Madam, replied he, 'I would not willingly have your majesty entertain an ill opinion of the respect I have for you, and my zeal always to do whatever I can to oblige you. I put entire confidence in your royal word, and I do not in the least doubt but you will keep it.

This you may have seen by the respect shewn, and the honours paid, me by all her court. She would be a vile creature indeed, if she should deceive me; but she shall not deceive me unpunished, for I know how to revenge myself."

She would be a fiendish creature indeed, if she should deceive me; but she shall not deceive me unrevenged, for I know how to be even with her. These assurances, which appeared very doubtful, were not sufficient to raise King Beder's spirits.
