What can it mean when found in a girl's? Stop!" And she peered into the hand for a few moments in deep silence, and then her face lighted up, her eyes burned intensely, and once more she broke forth in improvisation: "Thou shalt be bless'd as maiden fair was never bless'd before, And the heart of thy belov'd shall be most gentle, kind and pure; But thy red hand shall be lifted at duty's stern behest, And give to fell destruction the head thou lov'st the best.
He eagerly betook himself to this charming exercise, and it was not long before he was inviting her to walk along that alluring path through the meadow by the persuasive water. Here he repeated over and over to her the very pertinent lines, Thou'rt like unto a flower, and Thou lov'st me not, thou lov'st me not, under the conscientious reproofs of her engaging diction.
It is even as says the poet: Quoth they, "Thou'rt surely mad for him thou lov'st;" and I replied, "Indeed the sweets of life belong unto the raving race. Lo, those who love have not, for that, the upper hand of fate; Only the madman 'tis, I trow, o'ercometh time and space. Yes, I am mad; so bring me him for whom ye say I'm mad; And if he heal my madness, spare to blame me for my case."
And so thou shalt; defenceless, I will yield, And leave my Bosom open to thy Sword. But first conduct me to my Wife; For I will see her nor can I die unpardon'd. Friend. See his Wife! Of whom do you demand her. Bel. Friend. Bel. Friend. By Heav'n, you shall not enter here. Bel. I know thou lov'st her. And 'tis with Reason thou deny'st an Entrance To one so much unworthy to approach her. Friend.
Have pity, sweet, on one that is for love of thee Worn out and wasted sore; once rich and great was he, Now beggared and cast down by love from his array. The railers chide at thee full sore; I heed not, I, But stop my ears to them and give them back the lie. "Thou lov'st a slender one," say they; and I reply, "I've chosen her and left all else beneath the sky."
He did as she bade him and buying her for nine hundred dinars, paid down the price from the purse and carried her to his house, which when she entered, she found nothing but bare floors, without carpets or vessels. And they lay the night embraced and were even as saith the poet: Cleave fast to her thou lov'st and let the envious rail amain; For calumny and envy ne'er to favour love were fain.
The Marid gazed long and fixedly upon them, marvelling at their beauty, and repeated the following verses: Cleave fast to her thou lov'st and let the envious rail amain, For calumny and envy ne'er to favour love were fain.
Ah, charming Maid, is this your Love to me? Yet now thou art no Maid, nor lov'st not me, And I the fool to let thee know my weakness. Alcan. Why do you thus proceed to vex your self? To question what you list, and answer what you please? Sir, this is not the way to be at ease. Phi. Ah, dear Alcander, what would'st have me do? Alcan.
Yet nearness of abode, forsooth, may nowise profit thee, An If the grace of him thou lov'st be unto thee denied. When she finished, Abou Isa said, "O Commander of the Faithful, we will be at peace, though we be dishonoured. Dost thou give me leave to reply to her?" "Yes," answered the Khalif. "Say what thou wilt to her."
One of his neighbours, a worthy old woman, saw him and said to him, 'God keep thee, O my son! How long hast thou been mad? And he answered her with the following verse: Quoth they, "Thou'rt surely mad for her thou lov'st;" and I replied, "Indeed the sweets of life belong unto the raving race.
