Since I parted from my beloved, I have lost my reason; wherefore, do thou hearken to my speech and have ruth on my passion and love-longing. When the lion heard this, he drew back from him and sitting down on his hind-quarters, raised his head to him and began to frisk his tail and paws to him; which when Uns el Wujoud saw, he recited these verses: Wilt slay me, O lord of the desert, before My enslaver I meet with, e'en her I adore?

'I have a mind to take yonder fakir with me; it may be God, for his sake, will incline the King's heart to me, for that he is a holy man; and after, I will send him to Ispahan, which is near our country. 'Do &as thou wilt, answered Ibrahim. So they took leave of one another and departed, each for his own country, King Dirbas's Vizier carrying with him Uns el Wujoud, who was still insensible.

Then Uns el Wujoud went in to Rose-in-bud, and they embraced and sat weeping for excess of joy and gladness, whilst she recited the following verses: Gladness is come, dispelling grief and putting care aside; We are united now and have our enviers mortified. The fragrant breeze of union blows fresh and sweet for us, Whereby our bodies, vitals, hearts are all revivified.

When the girl heard this, her reason fled for joy; but she restrained herself from speech, till she should see the issue of the matter, saying in herself, 'None knoweth this thing of me, nor will I trust this woman with my secret, till I have proved her. Then said the nurse, 'O my lady, I saw in my sleep as though one came to me and said, "Thy mistress and Uns el Wujoud love one another; so do thou serve their loves by carrying their messages and doing their need and keeping their secrets; and much good shall befall thee."

Then, despairing of finding Uns el Wujoud and seeing that Ibrahim was distracted for the loss of his daughter, King Dirbas's Vizier addressed himself to return to his own country, for all he had not attained the object of his journey, and said to Ibrahim?

Seven nights o'er us have passed, Without our taking note of how they flitted by; Till, on the seventh day, they wished us joy and said, "Your union God prolong to all eternity!" When she had finished, Uns el Wujoud kissed her, more than a hundred times, and recited the following verses: O day of pure delight and mutual happiness! The loved one came and set me free from loneliness.

When he seeth me languish for love in my cage, He will loose me, in mercy, my loved one to find Then Uns el Wujoud turned to his friend, the Ispahani and said to him, 'What palace is this?

Complaineth, for love-longing, Uns el Wujoud, Of a passion that blotteth his being out sheer. How many sweet notes, that would soften, for mirth, The hardness of iron and stone, do I hear! The zephyr of morning brings tidings to me Of meadows, full-flower'd for the blossoming year. The scents on the breeze and the music of birds, In the dawning, transport me with joyance and cheer.

So now I have told thee my dream, and it is thine to decide. 'O my nurse, quoth Rose-in-bud, 'canst thou keep secrets? 'And how should I not keep secrets, answered the nurse, 'I that am of the flower of the free-born? Then Rose-in-bud pulled out the scroll, on which she had written the verses afore said, and said to her, Carry this my letter to Uns el Wujoud and bring me his answer.

So, when he saw him thus chagrined, he said to him, 'What ails thee? And he answered, 'I was sent by the King on an errand, which I have not been able to accomplish. So, when he heard of my return, he wrote to me? saying, "Enter not my city, except thou have fulfilled my need." 'And what is the King's need? asked Uns el Wujoud.
