He marvelled, saying, 'This is a game, for indeed I am no husband, neither have I a bride . . . yet have I confused memory of some betrothal . . . Thereupon she cried, 'Said I not so? and I the betrothed. Still he exclaimed, 'I cannot think it! Wullahy, it were a wonder!
Wullahy, what has not the strength of this hand overthrown? Then the brows of Abarak twisted; his limbs twitched, and he bawled, 'To the proof! waking all the echoes of Aklis.
Wullahy! this Karaz is a Genie of craft and resources, one of a mighty stock, and I must close with Shagpat to be sure of him; and that I am not deceived by semblances, opposing guile with guile, and guile deeper than his, for that he awaiteth it not, thinking I have leaped in fancy beyond the Event, and am puffed by the after-breaths of adulation, I! thinking I pluck the blossoms in my hunger for the fruit, that I eat the chick of the yet unlaid egg, O Feshnavat.

Wullahy! relinquish the bar that is my bar, won by me, for the Sword is within thy grip, and they await thee up yonder steps. Go! go! and look for me here on thy return.
