The young taleb showed great consequence and presented me with the original. He observed that a metegal of gold is of the value of 33½ Tunisian piastres. The Taleb: "I, I enter the house of an infidel! God preserve me!" "Oh!" I observed, "you are afraid of me and my books my books will bite you." Hereupon all the people present burst into a loud laugh, and the taleb looked quite crest-fallen.
John no longer remembers the dazzling beauty of the Moorish girl who sat at the feet of old Ben Taleb on the preceding night; it could not compare with the vivacious intelligence of an educated girl coming from the countries beyond the seas. First of all they mount the terraces of Mustapha Superieur and enjoy the magnificent view of the city and harbor.
Unquestionably the negro has some fine qualities. This slave, however, in palliation of the wrong, tells me he brings few slaves, and mostly goods. My taleb comes in, and after asking me the news, takes up the Arabic Bible, and reads the following beautiful prophetic sentiment: ولكثرة الاثم تبرد المحبة من كثير and then asks what it means?
The Shereef here did not know what to say, and I think replied very properly, Allah Errahman Errahem, "God is most merciful!" a sentiment which all of us admit in spite of our peculiar dogmas of theology. But this conversation offers nothing new or different from those which I had with my taleb Ben Mousa, at Ghadames.
"The English read Arabic because they are the friends of Mussulmans. For this reason, God gives them wit to understand the language of the Koran." Traveller. "We wish to study all languages, and to know all people." Taleb. "Now, as you have become so wise in our country, and read Arabic, where next are you going? Why not be quiet and return home, and live a marabout? Where next are you going?"
The same was heard also by Ali Ibn Abu Taleb, the Prophet's son-in-law, and by Hadhifat Ibn el Yaman, who relates that this prophecy was delivered by Mohammed one Friday at the Khotbah, or sermon, in Medina. Salman el Faris, another witness, declares that he afterwards approached the Prophet and stood before him and asked him, "From which of thy descendants, O Apostle of God, shall the Móhdy be?"
This correspondence is certainly a strong proof, both that the latter Biblical writers were natives of the East, and that the inhabitants of North Africa and The Sahara were originally emigrants, or colonies from Syria and Arabia. This is the opinion of my taleb, and all the literati of the oasis.
I rejoined, "This was the religion still is the religion of all the English, who eat and drink everything that is good, and dress any way they please; and such is the will of God." The taleb observed, "You wear braces, which is unlawful." I could not find out the why and the wherefore, unless it were that it tightened men-folks up too much for modesty.
She raises her hand as if to ward off the impending blow, and her voice is sweet and gentle. "Ali Ben Taleb, great is thy house and the blessings of Allah hang over it. I understand the motive that prompts you to thus undertake to avenge what you think are my wrongs. But you must halt. I demand a hearing." "Speak on; my ears are open to your voice.
I've told you my deformity, and all My miseries unveiled before your gaze. My spirit is in pain, for it cannot Forget my sweet gazelle, with eyes so black. A fire burns in my heart, and all my frame But wastes and withers. Where's thy cure, O Taleb? I find no medicine that cureth love, In vain I search. Sweet Fatima's the cause Of all my woes, with khelkal tinted blue.
