When he saw her and heard her speech, he was captivated by her and his wit was dazed; his colour changed and his heart fluttered, so that his companions misdoubted of him, and he whispered one of them to follow her and find out who she was. The man followed her and returning to his master, informed him that she was the princess Hind, daughter of En Numan.
So Adi came, and the princess looked out upon him; and when she saw him, she was like to fall down from the top of the palace and said to Mariyeh, 'Except thou bring him in to me this night, I shall die. So saying, she fell down in a swoon, and her serving-women lifted her up and bore her into the palace; whilst Mariyeh hastened to En Numan and discovered the whole matter to him, saying, 'Verily, she is mad for love of Adi; and except thou marry her to him, she will be put to shame and die of love for him. The King bowed his head awhile in thought and exclaimed again and again, 'Verily, we are God's and to Him we return! Then said he, 'Out on thee!
When Kanmakan heard this, he laughed and knew that he was a coward: so he left him and rode down the hill, intent on rapine, shouting and chanting aloud the following verses: O the house of En Numan is mickle of might! We're the champions with swords on the squadrons that smite! When the fury of battle flames high in our hearts, We're aye to be found in the front of the fight.
The young man consented, and the King went to him; and when the wine had taken effect on En Numan, Adi rose and sought of him his daughter in marriage. He consented and married them and brought her to him after three days; and they abode at En Numan's court, in all delight and solace of life, three years, at the end of which time the King was wroth with Adi and slew him.
But she answered, 'I came not to thee, till I had settled the whole matter with him. Then she returned to En Numan and said to him, 'Seek of Adi that he entertain thee in his house. 'There is no harm in that, replied the King and after three days, besought Adi to give him and his lords the morning-meal in his house.
