So she rose and kissing the ground before him, sang the following verse: She came out to gaze on the bridal at leisure, In a tunic with ambergris smeared, worth a treasure.

Then they drank, whilst the damsels retired and were succeeded by other ten, as they were sparkling stars, clad in flowered silk, embroidered with gold, and girt with jewelled zones. They sat down and sang various airs; and the Khalif said to one of them, who was like a willow-wand, "What is thy name, O damsel!" "My name is Reshaa, O Commander of the Faithful," answered she.
