Length of life is distributed impartially to very different modes of life in very different climates; and the mountains have no greater examples of age and health than the low lands, where I was introduced to two ladies of high quality; one of whom, in her ninety-fourth year, presided at her table with the full exercise of all her powers; and the other has attained her eighty-fourth, without any diminution of her vivacity, and with little reason to accuse time of depredations on her beauty.
Then she let Marzawan know that she was love-daft and he said "Tell me concerning thy tale and what befel thee: haply there may be in my hand something which shall be a means of deliverance for thee." And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of da, and ceased saying her permitted say. When it was the One Hundred and Ninety-fourth Night,
As we told out the hundred and ninety-fourth pace I observed Thorndyke nod towards the roadway a little ahead, and, looking at it attentively as we approached, it was easy to see by the regularity of surface and lighter colour, that it had recently been re-metalled. Having counted out the four hundred and twenty paces, we halted, and Thorndyke turned to me with a smile of triumph.
So she appointed him for the same time as the three others, and told him where her house was. And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased to say her permitted say. When it was the Five Hundred and Ninety-fourth Night, She said, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that the woman told the King where her house was and appointed him for the same time as the Wali, the Kazi and the Wazir.
Then Allah commanded the tails of Khalit and Malit to couple and copulate a second time, and the tail of Malit conceived by the tail of Khalit and bore fourteen children, seven male and seven female, who grew up and intermarried one with the other. When it was the Four Hundred and Ninety-fourth Night,
When it was the Ninety-fourth Night, She said, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that when the old woman, Zat al-Dawahi, and those with her had agreed upon such words, she said, "Now as soon as that which I impart shall reach the ears of King Sharrkan say him further, 'Hearing these words from that image we knew that the holy man was indeed of the chiefest devotees and Allah's servants of purest qualities; so we made three days' march till we came in sight of that hermitage, and then we went up to it and passed the day in buying and selling, as is the wont of merchants.
And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased to say her permitted say. When it was the Three Hundred and Ninety-fourth Night She said, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that the woman brought out the fish alive from the water-jar and assembled the folk against her husband, and told them her tale.
One night, in his ninety-fourth year, he tottered upon his daughter's arm, as his custom was, to the door, to look out for a moment upon the sky. "How clear," said he, "the moon shines to-night." In the course of that night he passed peacefully away. At six the next morning he was found dead upon the couch where his daughter had left him.
No probable reader will need to be reminded that the line which I have perhaps unnecessarily italicised appears also as the last verse in the ninety-fourth of those "sugared sonnets" which we know were in circulation about the time of this play's first appearance among Shakespeare's "private friends"; in other words, which enjoyed such a kind of public privacy or private publicity as one or two among the most eminent English poets of our own day have occasionally chosen for some part of their work, to screen it for awhile as under the shelter and the shade of crepuscular laurels, till ripe for the sunshine or the storm of public judgment.
After awhile, quoth the Caliph to Ja'afar, "O Wazir, bring me the young man' And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased saying her permitted say. When it was the Two hundred and Ninety-fourth Night, She said, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that quoth the Caliph to his Minister, "Bring me the young man with whom we were last night."
