57 | What have you done? |
57 | Where is your palace and my daughter? |
57 | Aladdin''s mother, when she came to herself, said:"Whence comes this splendid feast?" |
57 | He rubbed it and the genie appeared, saying:"What is thy will?" |
57 | He was thunderstruck, and turning to the vizier, said:"What sayest thou? |
57 | Immediately an enormous and frightful genie rose out of the earth, saying:"What wouldst thou with me? |

39853 | Are you afraid? |

39853 | Did he not conquer Babylonia without it? |
39853 | Do you think me like your Greek boys, made of wax? 39853 Does he not fight in the name of Allah and the Prophet? |

39853 | Has he not taught us that action is the soul and secret of success? |
39853 | Have I missed the way? 39853 How did you come by it?" |
39853 | How long have you been a man, well taught in killing other men, not to see what any cowardly shepherd boy could read? 39853 If I speak the words and throw the lance and kill an Arab, that moment will he set my father free?" |
39853 | Is Kahled the Invincible afraid? |

39853 | Is the word of the prince unchanged? |
39853 | Is this thy father? |
39853 | Kanana,he exclaimed,"why am I silent? |
39853 | Master, do they see us? |
39853 | Thou knowest not what they all know? |
39853 | Thou son of my old age, why didst thou come into the world to curse me? 39853 What camels and servants shall be provided?" |
39853 | Who art thou? |
39853 | Who is he? |
39853 | Wouldst thou dare to go without an escort? |
39853 | Wouldst thou teach me the value of camels and merchandise to comfort me? 39853 And hast thou fixed the price of ransom which Airikat will demand, or slay thy brother? 39853 Are you dead, or only sleeping? |
39853 | As for the beggars, where were your senses? |
39853 | As it was, he said, a little doubtfully,"What wouldst thou with my girdle?" |
39853 | Could a bright- colored girdle give him strength?" |
39853 | Didst thou think that I would not willingly and freely lead the white camel anywhere, to serve the great caliph?" |
39853 | Dost thou believe I would be treacherous to a servant of Omar and the Prophet?" |
39853 | Dost thou believe that Kanana spoke in fear or cowardice? |
39853 | Dost thou not fear that some rat may bite thee? |
39853 | Hast thou anything to say before the work begins?" |
39853 | He fell from his horse and--""You killed him?" |
39853 | His eyes were fixed on Manuel, and when all was still, he asked:"Will the prince allow his captive to sit alone till sunrise and consider his offer?" |
39853 | His lips parted and he muttered, angrily:"Is this my reward for having given a cup of water to the thirsty?" |
39853 | How could he know that that hand had never drawn a sword? |
39853 | I kept you waiting, did n''t I?" |
39853 | If he should come within range of the lance of Kanana, I suppose that Manuel would be well pleased to wait?" |
39853 | Kanana did not turn his head, but calmly answered:"Do you see yonder a man upon a gray horse, moving slowly among the soldiers? |
39853 | Kanana returned the salutation, and immediately asked,"Did the dust from Kahled''s host blow over you when your foot was on the sand of Bashra?" |
39853 | May it please the prince to double every torture he has prepared for me, and in exchange to set that old man free?" |
39853 | The great caliph quickly broke the seal and read; then, turning to the bearer, asked sharply,"And who art thou?" |
39853 | Three times his father came to him with the question:"Are you ready to be a man?" |

39853 | Was he not an Arab, and an Ishmaelite? |
39853 | Was he sleeping? |
39853 | Was it the robbers coming down upon him? |
39853 | Were not their lances made of the same peculiar wood; and their camel saddles, were they not the same, stained with the deep dye of Bashra? |

39853 | When wilt thou start?" |
39853 | Whither darest thou to go, thus, all alone, and after dark, upon the sand?" |
39853 | Who should be going toward Mecca at this season, without a burdened camel in his caravan, if he went not to meet his chief for war? |
39853 | Who should come out of the rising sun, with his camel licking the desert sand, if he came not from Bashra? |
39853 | Why did Airikat crowd his caravan, day and night, if he expected no one?" |
39853 | Why should we kill one another, even if we are Arabs and Ishmaelites?" |
39853 | Why was he waiting? |
39853 | Would he never stop? |

39853 | _ La Illaha il Allah!_""And what is my mission to be?" |
39853 | cried the old man, angrily( Page 21)_ Frontispiece_ Kanana stood upon the very edge of the white porch 42"Dost thou believe Kanana spoke in fear?" |
39853 | son of the Terror of the Desert, speaking of danger?" |
19860 | Ah, Morgiana,said Ali Baba,"what is it you show me? |
19860 | And how was that? |
19860 | And what stratagem is it you would employ? |
19860 | And why not? |
19860 | By what adventure,said she, fetching a deep sigh,"are you come hither? |
19860 | Child,said she,"to whom are we obliged for this great plenty and liberality? |
19860 | How comes this wound? |
19860 | How will you defend yourself against invisible persons? |
19860 | How, madam,he demanded,"what, then, am I to believe? |
19860 | I have neither forgiveness nor mercy,replied the giant;"and is it not just that he who has inflicted death should suffer it?" |
19860 | Is it possible,said he,"that you can give up your own child?" |
19860 | Madam,demanded the caliph,"where is the bundle of hair?" |
19860 | Mother,said he,"have I an uncle?" |
19860 | My daughter,said he to the princess,"where are the musicians whom I hear? |
19860 | My dear prince, what have you done? |
19860 | My good mother,said the princess,"what is a roc, and where may one get an egg?" |
19860 | Perhaps,said he,"the man who is with you can give you some information?" |
19860 | Sister,said Prince Bahman,"what has become of all your mirth and gayety? |
19860 | Tell me,replied he,"can you shoot with a bow?" |
19860 | Those admirable characters, are they not written by the hands of a man? |
19860 | Those negroes,replied they,"eat men; and by what miracle did you escape their cruelty?" |
19860 | Well,continued the sultan,"what sayest thou to such a present? |
19860 | Well,said the emperor,"have you spoken to your sister? |
19860 | Were you born blind of the right eye? |
19860 | What can be the meaning of this mark? |
19860 | What do you say? |
19860 | What is that, good mother? |
19860 | What novelty is this? |
19860 | What would he have? |
19860 | What wouldst thou have? |
19860 | Where,said she,"can he get so many large gold trays, and such precious stones to fill them? |
19860 | Who is this strange man,said she,"who eats no salt with his meat? |
19860 | Wretched man, do you not know it? 19860 Aladdin got up trembling, and, with tears in his eyes, said to the magician,What have I done, uncle, to be treated in this severe manner?" |
19860 | Aladdin, amazed at all he saw and heard, forgot what was past, and rising said,"Well, uncle, what is to be done? |
19860 | And has she consented to the pleasure I expect of seeing you?" |
19860 | And ought I not to bestow her on one who values her at so great a price?" |
19860 | And what have I done to deserve one so wretched?" |
19860 | Another voice asked,"What need had the princess of the dervish''s prayers?" |
19860 | Are they underground, or invisible in the air? |
19860 | Are you not well? |
19860 | Are you of any trade?" |
19860 | As he approached, he began crying,"Who will exchange old lamps for new?" |
19860 | At last, addressing himself to the princess, he said,"Whence is this wonderful water? |
19860 | At last, when he had recovered himself, he said,"And what is become of the merchant?" |
19860 | At that summons the genie appeared, and said,"What wouldst thou have? |
19860 | Before they gave the fatal stroke, one of the slaves said to Zobeide and her sisters,"Would it not be right to interrogate them first?" |
19860 | But now I am speaking of the palace, pray how do you like it? |
19860 | But the question was, who should first make the inquiry? |
19860 | By what art is it made to play so high that nothing in the world can be compared to it? |
19860 | Can anything be more wonderful? |
19860 | Do I not seriously tell you, that if I were to yield to your foolish importunities, it would cost me my life?" |
19860 | Do you ever push them with your horns? |
19860 | Do you ever show your anger by stamping on the ground with your feet? |
19860 | Fantastic, magnificent, extravagant, beautiful, gloriously colored, humorous-- was ever book of such infinite contrasts? |
19860 | Has the sultan been made acquainted with our poverty, and had compassion on us?" |
19860 | Have I not, then, reason to envy your lot?" |
19860 | Have you not read the inscription over the gate? |
19860 | He soon heard a voice, however, which said,"Do you know what honest man this is, to whom we have done this service?" |
19860 | How came that vile genie to address himself to me, and not to you, to whom he had appeared before in the cave?" |
19860 | I hastened to meet her; and as I was making a low obeisance she asked me,"Are you a man, or a genie?" |
19860 | If thy own breast can not keep thy counsel, how canst thou expect the breast of another to be more faithful?''" |
19860 | Immediately a genie of frightful aspect appeared, and said,"What wouldst thou have? |
19860 | Is it not reasonable that, after all this, I should enjoy a quiet and pleasant life?" |
19860 | Is it not worthy of the princess my daughter? |
19860 | Is not this your hatchet and are not these your cords?" |
19860 | Or has some misfortune befallen you? |
19860 | Remember, too, that he would eat no salt with you; and what would you have more to persuade you of his wicked design? |
19860 | She was in as great amazement at what her son told her as at the appearance of the genie, and said to him,"But, son, what have we to do with genies? |
19860 | Some one said,"Where is he going?" |
19860 | The genie immediately appeared, and said,"What wouldst thou have? |
19860 | The merchant, alarmed by the horrible figure of this giant, as well as by the words he heard, replied in trembling accents:"How can I have slain him? |
19860 | Then said Zobeide, accosting the other two,"Sisters, do you not see that this honest man is ready to sink under his burden? |
19860 | This, O Lord Genie, is my history; does it not appear to you of a most extraordinary nature? |
19860 | What business brings you here?" |
19860 | What has he done to obtain from Thee a lot so agreeable? |
19860 | What is your contest about?" |
19860 | What name do you call it by?" |
19860 | What say you, my lads?" |
19860 | When they come to tie you to the manger, what resistance, pray, do you ever make? |
19860 | Whence did you come?" |
19860 | Whence has he all this wealth?" |
19860 | Where its source? |
19860 | Why do n''t you terrify them with your bellowing? |
19860 | Why do you not ease him of it?" |
19860 | Why should you now doubt of the truth of what the holy woman told you? |
19860 | Will you allow me the consolation of giving her this last proof of my affection?" |
19860 | child,"said she,"what are you thinking of? |
19860 | cried the mother,"was your lamp then the occasion of that cursed genie''s addressing himself to me rather than to you? |
19860 | exclaimed Ali Baba,"what have you done, to ruin me and my family?" |
19860 | replied he,"how do you think I should obtain the favor you wish me? |
19860 | replied he,"you would have me do something against my conscience, or against my honor?" |
19860 | said she,"has Ali Baba gold so plentiful as to measure it? |
19860 | said the person whom he addressed,"have you never seen or heard of her? |
8599 | ''A young man, the best and most amiable,''said the princess''whom I could not awake; I ask you where he is?'' |
8599 | ''Abdallah''( so was the old man named), said she to him,''tell me, I beseech thee, does that beautiful and charming slave belong to thee? |
8599 | ''Agreeable Maimoune,''replied Danhasch,''may I presume to ask you who is this prince you speak of?'' |
8599 | ''And pray what have you brought?'' |
8599 | ''But tell me,''replied he,''can you shoot with a bow?'' |
8599 | ''But, captain,''said I,''was the merchant''s name to whom those goods belonged Sinbad?'' |
8599 | ''But, sir,''said I,''may I presume to ask your majesty if strangers be obliged to observe this law?'' |
8599 | ''But,''replied he,''how came you into my dominions, and from whence came you last?'' |
8599 | ''By what adventure,''said she, fetching a deep sigh,''are you come hither? |
8599 | ''Cursed genie,''replied Maimoune,''what hurt canst thou do me? |
8599 | ''Daughter,''said she,''how could any man come to you?'' |
8599 | ''Do you come to affront and contradict me,''said the prince in a great rage,''and to tell me to my face that what I have told you is a dream?'' |
8599 | ''Father,''quoth she,''will you not oblige me so far as to make me a present of this young man? |
8599 | ''Good woman,''said he,''do you not perceive I have been bantering you all this while? |
8599 | ''I sent for you,''said the sultan,''to inform you that I have an intention of providing a proper marriage for you; what do you think of it?'' |
8599 | ''If I do not know him,''said the princess,''would you have me tell a lie on purpose to ruin him?'' |
8599 | ''Is not this she,''said he,''that the sultan my father would have had me marry? |
8599 | ''My lord,''replied the slave,''I swear I know of no such lady; and how should she come in without my knowledge, since I lay at the door?'' |
8599 | ''Perfidious wretch,''said the genie to her; pointing at me,''who is this?'' |
8599 | ''Princess,''cried I,''what means all this?'' |
8599 | ''Sir,''cried his friends, the moment he joined them,''what is the matter? |
8599 | ''Sir,''said the old man, stopping him,''may I presume to ask from what part of the world you come?'' |
8599 | ''Tell me,''said the princess,''what is become of the young man whom I love with all my soul?'' |
8599 | ''The sorceress,''said some,''has got a new subject to exercise her wickedness upon: will Heaven never deliver the world from her tyranny?'' |
8599 | ''Those admirable characters, are they not written by the hands of a man?'' |
8599 | ''Those black men,''replied they,''are cannibals, and by what miracle did you escape their cruelty?'' |
8599 | ''Well,''said the king,''in what condition did you find my son?'' |
8599 | ''What can this mean?'' |
8599 | ''What crime can he have committed,''said she to herself,''that a man of his high rank can deserve to be treated thus severely?'' |
8599 | ''What do you mean, Sinbad?'' |
8599 | ''What do you mean?'' |
8599 | ''What do you say?'' |
8599 | ''What mean you, sir,''said some that were nearest to him,''thus to expose a life of such promising expectation to certain death? |
8599 | ''What wouldst thou have me to do with him,''answered the citizen,''but roast and eat him?'' |
8599 | ''What,''cried she,''is it you the king my father has designed me for a husband? |
8599 | ''What,''replied the prince,''could give my father alarm? |
8599 | ''What?'' |
8599 | ''Whither away so fast?'' |
8599 | ''Why should I not give so much?'' |
8599 | ''Yield to me as a favour? |
8599 | ''You believe him then to be dead?'' |
8599 | After being shipwrecked five times, and escaping so many dangers, could I resolve again to try my fortune, and expose myself to new hardships? |
8599 | And can it be supposed she will let it go unrevenged? |
8599 | And who your nephew? |
8599 | Art thou not now convinced how much thy princess is inferior to my prince? |
8599 | As soon as they had sat down,''Well,''said Abdallah to the king,''how have you been, and how have you passed your time with that infidel sorceress?'' |
8599 | At first he thought the crier mad, and to make sure, went to a shop, and said to the merchant, who stood at the door,''Pray, sir, is not that man mad? |
8599 | At the end of the year he took him aside, and said to him,''My son, have you thoroughly considered what I proposed to you last year about marrying? |
8599 | At this answer the furious genie told her,''You are a false woman, and a liar: how came that axe and those cords there?'' |
8599 | But how could she get into this tower without my consent? |
8599 | But the robbers most insolently replied,''For what reason would you have us show any respect to the sultan your master? |
8599 | But where shall I find her, and how seek for her? |
8599 | But, madam, may I, without being guilty of rudeness, presume to ask you how you know me? |
8599 | But, madam,''continued he,''let us drop this, and since I have eaten your cake, would you do me the favour to taste mine?'' |
8599 | Can not the heads you see on all the gates of this city deter you from such an undertaking? |
8599 | Can you think the son of your sister Gulnare worthy to come in competition with my daughter? |
8599 | Could you conceive a thought only of aspiring in marriage to a princess, the daughter of so great and powerful a king as I am? |
8599 | Do they think it will be so easy to surprise, seize, and secure their persons? |
8599 | Do you mourn for your country, your friends, or your relations? |
8599 | Do you not remember the promise you made to go and see him from time to time? |
8599 | Dost thou think I am as perfidious an elf as thyself, and capable of breaking the solemn oath I have made? |
8599 | He asked me who I was, and by what adventure I came into his dominions? |
8599 | How came that lady hither, and who brought her?'' |
8599 | How can he suppose that I should get hold of a man so small, armed as he describes? |
8599 | How could she get in here without my consent? |
8599 | How dare I appear before my princess without her talisman?'' |
8599 | I think you told me you had left him behind you in the city of the idolaters: can you tell me what he is doing there?'' |
8599 | Instead of answering, the peasant asked the citizen what he would do with him in case he should buy him? |
8599 | Is not this your hatchet, and are not these your cords?'' |
8599 | Is there anything you wish for? |
8599 | Pray tell us your history, for it must be extraordinary; how did you venture into this river, and whence did you come?'' |
8599 | Prince,''cried he,''do you call so inestimable a present a small token of your gratitude? |
8599 | Prince,''cried she,''do you think I jest with you? |
8599 | Queen Gulnare did not at first comprehend what marriage he meant; but after a little considering, she said,''Of yours, you mean, son? |
8599 | Shall I go down the hills and valleys which I passed over? |
8599 | Shall I wander in darkness? |
8599 | Some moments after, the fairy said to Prince Ahmed,''Prince, here comes my brother; do you see him?'' |
8599 | Tell me, I beseech you, how I shall reclaim a disposition so rebellious to my will?'' |
8599 | Tell me, I beseech you, where was your discretion, when you imagined to yourself so great an absurdity as you have just now proposed to me? |
8599 | The King of Persia, in great astonishment, said''Madam, can it be possible that you are of royal blood? |
8599 | The captain in his turn demanded of the prince whether he was not a debtor of the King of Ebony? |
8599 | The sultan perceiving his constraint, said to him in a mild way,''Do you know, son, for what reason I have sent for you?'' |
8599 | The sultan, astonished at this discourse, turned towards me and asked no more by signs, but in plain words if it was true what his daughter said? |
8599 | Upon this the sultan said again to his daughter,''How do you know that this prince has been transformed by enchantments into an ape?'' |
8599 | Upon which, turning to me,''And thou,''said he,''dost thou not know her?'' |
8599 | Was not his father a dog, and a son of a dog, like you? |
8599 | We have often asked, Madam, do you want anything? |
8599 | What arms could I make use of to reduce him to submission?'' |
8599 | What would she say of you and me? |
8599 | What would you say, cursed genie, if you had seen the beautiful prince that I have just come from seeing? |
8599 | When the captain heard me speak thus,''O heaven,''said he,''whom can we ever trust now- a- days? |
8599 | When the magician had ended, she said,''What does your majesty think of these unheard- of riches of the fairy? |
8599 | Who are you? |
8599 | Who is your sister? |
8599 | Who knows but fortune waits, upon my getting off this dangerous shelf, to compensate my shipwreck with interest?'' |
8599 | Who was your father? |
8599 | Why did she come? |
8599 | Why will you still keep to this obstinate silence, which chills me? |
8599 | Will you still refuse me that pleasure I expect from your obedience, and suffer me to die without it?'' |
8599 | Would you have him send you away with the same confusion?'' |
8599 | Your majesty fears, with great reason, his youth may be corrupted in indolence, but to remedy that do not you think it would be proper to marry him? |
8599 | and is it long that thou hast been in possession of him?'' |
8599 | and why you, who live in the same neighbourhood should be so little known by me?'' |
8599 | and will my strength bear me out? |
8599 | answered King Beder,''how can I be tired of so many favours and graces as your majesty perpetually heaps upon me? |
8599 | brother, are you then one of those that believe me mad? |
8599 | continued he,''how do I know she is alive?'' |
8599 | cried he,''dare you talk to me after this manner, and so much as mention my daughter''s name in my presence? |
8599 | have you the insolence to talk thus to your father and sultan?'' |
8599 | is not the King of Persia, who loves and adores you, capable of comforting, and making you amends for the loss of everything in the world?'' |
8599 | my queen,''replied Prince Ahmed,''do you say Schaibar is your brother? |
8599 | princes, to what purpose have we undertaken long and fatiguing journeys? |
8599 | replied Queen Gulnare,''is not the Princess Giauhara yet married? |
8599 | replied he,''how do you think I should obtain that favour you wish me? |
8599 | replied the gardener:''do you imagine I will take these riches as mine? |
8599 | said the genie,''he is the cause of thy being in the condition thou art justly in, and yet darest thou say thou dost not know him?'' |
8599 | unfortunate wretch, shouldst thou not rather have stayed at home, and quietly enjoyed the fruits of thy labour?'' |
8599 | why?'' |
5100 | And how much,asked the goldsmith,"useth he to give thee to its price?" |
5100 | And how,asked the Imam,"can it be possible unto you, O my lord the Amir, to know from her face that she is pure? |
5100 | And thou,added he,"how long is it since thou wentest out from my father''s house?" |
5100 | And wast thou concerned anent this? |
5100 | And what is this custom? |
5100 | And what,asked Aboubekr,"is the requirement of my lord the Amir? |
5100 | Art thou the king''s son of Bassora? |
5100 | But, O my son Zein ul Asnam, by what token canst thou certify me that thou art the son of my lord the king of Bassora? |
5100 | How is the management or contrivance( tedbir) with thee? |
5100 | How knewest thou this,asked Alaeddin,"that the Vizier''s son goeth in this night to the Lady Bedrulbudour?" |
5100 | How so,[ 296] O my son? |
5100 | How this? |
5100 | O my mother,rejoined Alaeddin,"by whom[ should I make] a request like this, when thou art at hand, and whom have I trustier[ 328] than thyself? |
5100 | Then the accursed who appeared to me and came nigh to kill me for affright is of the lamp? |
5100 | What is this charge? |
5100 | What sayst thou? |
5100 | What, thou art in our city and hast not heard of the divine gifts of my Lady[ 635] Fatimeh? 5100 canst thou suggest to us any expedient?"] |
5100 | Accordingly she sent forthwith to fetch Fatimeh, so she might lay her hand on his head; whereupon quoth Alaeddin,"Who is this Fatimeh?" |
5100 | Alaeddin''s mother returned home, shaking her head and saying,"Whence shall my poor son get these dishes of jewels? |
5100 | And I said in myself,"O man, how long wilt thou be an exile[ 177] from thy country and thy native place, whenas thou hast an only brother and no more? |
5100 | And he said to her,"O my mother, why didst thou tell me that I had no uncles and no kinsfolk on life? |
5100 | And suppose I gain admission to the presence, what shall I take by way of offering to the Sultan''s highness? |
5100 | And the princess said to him,"O my Lady Fatimeh, what is lacking to it and what is this thing which would adorn it? |
5100 | And who seeketh her? |
5100 | And who was it let down the curtained night of her hair And eke through its glooms made the light of her forehead rise? |
5100 | Are there found with the greatest of the kings of the world riches and gold and jewels such as these we see in this palace?" |
5100 | As for me, how can I adventure upon this danger and this effrontery? |
5100 | At this Alaeddin was confounded and abashed and hung down his head, bowing it to the ground, whilst his mother said to the Maugrabin,"How? |
5100 | At this the Sultan was fired with wrath and said to him,"Where is Alaeddin?" |
5100 | Burton,"Have we fared this far distance by commandment of my bridegroom?"] |
5100 | Burton,"Who may this be?"] |
5100 | But who art thou, O youth, and whence comest thou and whither art thou bound?" |
5100 | Deemest thou Alaeddin worthy to be bridegroom to my daughter the Lady Bedrulbudour? |
5100 | Doth there ail thee aught? |
5100 | Enough of mourning; for that, an I sat grieving a thousand years, what were the profit? |
5100 | Hast thou in all thy days seen aught like this? |
5100 | Hast thou learned thee a trade whereby thou mayst live, thou and thy mother?" |
5100 | Hast thou no fear of God, that thou dost this and hast slain Fatimeh, who was a holy woman and whose divine gifts were renowned?" |
5100 | Hast thou seen and considered this royal building and all these riches which man''s wit can not comprehend?" |
5100 | He that can in so short a time avail unto riches like these, is he not worthy to be the Sultan''s son- in- law and to have his daughter to bride?" |
5100 | How is it thou hast heard nought of this nor of the name of Alaeddin, whom Our Lord increase in glory and prosper?" |
5100 | Is this the respect that is due to my rank and the honour in which thou holdest me, that I bespeak thee and thou answerest me not a word?" |
5100 | Meknoweth not how thou wilt do to make this request of the Sultan, and if thou speak sooth,[ 327] by whom wilt thou make it?" |
5100 | Moreover, O my son, on what wise shall I demand thee his daughter of the Sultan and how shall I avail to go in to him? |
5100 | Nay, I dare not adventure myself and say to him,''I want thy daughter,''whenas he asketh me,''What wouldst thou?'' |
5100 | Nay, if they question me, what shall I answer them? |
5100 | Presently the Imam asked the prince and said to him,"O my lord Zein ul Asnam, doth your highness purpose to sojourn long here in Baghdad?" |
5100 | Put away from thee this extravagance:[ 326] who shall undertake an affair like this and demand it of the Sultan? |
5100 | Quoth Mubarek,"Nay, my lord the king of Bassora left no son; but what is thine age, O youth?" |
5100 | Quoth he,"Speak; what is the news?" |
5100 | Quoth the Sultan,"Doth not he who giveth me these jewels deserve to be bridegroom to my daughter Bedrulbudour? |
5100 | Quoth the Sultan,"On what wise shall we rid ourselves of this man, seeing I have given him my word and a King''s word is his bond?" |
5100 | Sawest thou ever in thy life the like of these magnificent jewels?" |
5100 | So Mubarek turned to Zein ul Asnam and said to him,"How deemest thou of this place, O my lord?" |
5100 | So he said to her,"What aileth thee, O my beloved? |
5100 | So she asked her, saying,"O my daughter, what is the cause of this thy behaviour? |
5100 | So she came to him and raised him from the ground, saying,"What profiteth it that thou shouldst kill thyself?" |
5100 | So the Sultan turned to the Vizier and said to him,"How sayst thou, O Vizier? |
5100 | So the girl went and looking, saw one crying out,"Ho, who will barter an old lamp for a new lamp?" |
5100 | Tell me, hath there befallen thee aught to trouble thee?" |
5100 | Tell me, how deemest thou of my dream? |
5100 | The following is a literal rendering of the above passage:"An upper chamber( keszr) and( or?) |
5100 | Then he asked Alaeddin,"What is the cause that the lattice of yonder kiosk( kushk) is not complete?" |
5100 | Then he rubbed the lamp and the Marid, its slave, appeared to him and said,"Here am I, O my lord; what wiliest thou?" |
5100 | Then he said to her,"O my daughter Bedrulbudour, doth this please thee? |
5100 | Then he turned to his Vizier and said to him,"How sayst thou, O Vizier? |
5100 | Then the Sultan turned to the Vizier and said to him,"How now? |
5100 | Then the slave of the lamp came to him and taking him up, set him down in his house and said to him,"O my lord, dost thou need aught?" |
5100 | Then, turning to the Vizier, he said to him,"Knowest thou the reason of the lack of completion of this casement and its lattices?" |
5100 | Therewith Alaeddin arose and would have taken leave; but the Sultan laid hold on him and said to him,"Whither away, O my son? |
5100 | Therewith he came up to Alaeddin and kissed him saying,"All these my toils, whom do they concern? |
5100 | Was it true or was it not? |
5100 | What answer will you give unto God[ 135] concerning this treason that you have wroughten with me?" |
5100 | What shall we do? |
5100 | What, have I lost my wits like thee? |
5100 | When he returned, the King said to him,"What hast thou seen? |
5100 | When the King heard her story, he fell a- laughing, of his clemency,[ 368] and asked her,"What is that thou hast with thee and what is that bundle?" |
5100 | When the latter saw Alaeddin, he accosted him and said to him,"O my son, what wilt thou? |
5100 | Where is thy palace and where is my daughter, my heart''s darling and mine only one, than whom I have none other?" |
5100 | Who is thine uncle and whence hast thou an uncle on life?" |
5100 | Who knoweth the calamities of fate and the vicissitudes of the days? |
5100 | Who[ 634] is she and where is her place?" |
5100 | Wilt thou still say[ 55] to me,''These be idle tales''? |
5100 | Zein ul Asnam was amazed at this and said to his mother,"How came my father by these things?" |
5100 | [ 185] Therewithal the Maugrabin turned to Alaeddin and said to him,"How is this, O son of my brother? |
5100 | [ 358] Hast thou any knowledge of her, O Vizier, and knowest thou what is her want?" |
5100 | [ 590] Quoth he,"How came this about?" |
5100 | [ Footnote 293: Hhizana for hhezzaza?] |
5100 | [ Footnote 332: Burton,"Also who shall ask her to wife for the son of a snip?"] |

5100 | who will barter an old lamp for a new lamp?" |
5100 | who will barter an old lamp for a new lamp?'' |
5100 | why art thou woeful?" |
5100 | { see FN#455}][ Footnote 458: Likai telbesa( tetelebbesa?) |
5244 | And how cometh it,asked I,"that the Commander of the Faithful trusteth her to go out?" |
5244 | And thou,asked she,"hast thou never been in love?" |
5244 | And what is the cause of this? |
5244 | And what is thy want? |
5244 | And what,asked El Abbas,"hath Akil done with King Zuheir?" |
5244 | And where is King El Aziz? |
5244 | Forget him,quoth my censurers,"forget him; what is he?" |
5244 | How call''st thou this thy dress? |
5244 | How so? |
5244 | How, then, shall we do with him? |
5244 | I do not want this,answered she, and he rejoined,"What then is it that is called wood, other than this?" |
5244 | O Saad,asked the king,"whence cometh this man?" |
5244 | O elder,added she,"if Muslims and Jews and Nazarenes drink wine, who are we[ that we should abstain from it]?" |
5244 | O nurse,rejoined the princess,"who is this that presumeth upon me with this letter? |
5244 | Quoth she,Why wilt thou forbid me to drink thereof in thy house?" |
5244 | Since when hath this befallen her? |
5244 | What is the taste of love? |
5244 | What is to be done? |
5244 | What would the king with me? |
5244 | Whence hast thou this servant? |
5244 | Why, then, O my lord,asked the nurse,"didst thou conceal the secret of thy rank and lineage and passedst thyself off for a wayfarer? |
5244 | [ FN#10] Then he accosted the young Damascene and saluting him, said to him,Why do I see my lord alone and forlorn? |
5244 | whatever may betideor"will I, nill I"? |
5244 | ''And how earnest thou hither?'' |
5244 | ''O my lord,''answered I,''my name is Sindbad the Sailor;''and he said,''And what countryman art thou?'' |
5244 | ?" |
5244 | All charms, indeed, thou dost comprise; so who shall vie with thee And who shall blame me if for love of such a fair I''m sped? |
5244 | And I said,''By Allah, O youth, whence cometh thou?'' |
5244 | And Zuheir said,"Whence comest thou and whither wilt thou?" |
5244 | And he said,"Art thou in my presence and bespeakest me with the like of these words? |
5244 | And he said,"Didst thou not bid me bring thee wood?" |
5244 | And he said,"With whom?" |
5244 | And how Of all things in the world should I forget the love of thee? |
5244 | And the slave- dealer said to him,"What is her name?" |
5244 | And who can tell if ever house shall us together bring In union of life serene and undisturbed content? |
5244 | Canst thou carry her another letter, and with God the Most High be thy requital?" |
5244 | Doth it not suffice thee that thou hast orphaned his children[FN#94] and slain his men? |
5244 | Doth it not suffice thee that thou hast quelled El Akil''s repute, but thou art minded to quell that of those who sojourn round about him? |
5244 | Fawn of the palace, knowst thou not that I, to look on thee, The world have traversed, far and wide, o''er many a hill and plain? |
5244 | Hast thou any want unto which thou availest not, so I may endeavour for thee therein and lavish my treasures in quest thereof?" |
5244 | Hath there betided thee a pain from God the Most High or hath aught of vexation befallen thee? |
5244 | His neighbour the Jew met him and said to him,"How comes it that I see thee confounded?" |
5244 | How deemest thou, O King, of fetching El Abbas and drawing up the contract of marriage between Mariyeh and him?" |
5244 | How long shall I anights distracted be for love Of thee? |
5244 | How long shall I thus question my heart that''s drowned in woe? |
5244 | How long shall I, in weariness, for this estrangement pine, What while the spies of severance[FN#106] do watch me all the night? |
5244 | How long th''assaults of grief and woes abide? |
5244 | How long will ye admonished be, without avail or heed? |
5244 | How long, O Fate, wilt thou oppress and baffle me? |
5244 | Is it of the sons of Adam or of the Jinn?" |
5244 | Is there a man of you will come, that I may heal his paint With blows right profitful for him who''s sick for lust of fight? |
5244 | Knowest thou not that he is of the lieutenants of Kundeh ben[ Hisham of the Benou] Sheiban, a man renowned for prowess? |
5244 | Now Er Reshid was leaning back; but, when he heard this, he sat up and said to her,"By my life,[ is this thou sayest] true?" |
5244 | O blamer of me for the love of him who denieth his grace, Which be the delightsome of things, but those which the people deny? |
5244 | O thou my inclining to love him that blamest, Shall lovers be blamed for the errors of Fate? |
5244 | One day my master said to me,''Knowest thou not some art or handicraft?'' |
5244 | Quoth El Aziz,"And knowest thou who she is?" |
5244 | Quoth I,"Where is her abode?" |
5244 | Quoth I,''What[ manner of men] are ye and what country is this?'' |
5244 | Quoth he,"O my lady, what is this love?" |
5244 | Quoth he,"Saidst thou not to me,''I would fain drink''?" |
5244 | Quoth he,"Thou knowest the stranger youth, who gave us the rubies?" |
5244 | Quoth he,"What is to be done with her?" |
5244 | Quoth he,"Where is this thing found and of whom shall I get it for thee?" |
5244 | Quoth he,"Who gave the king news of me?" |
5244 | Quoth he,''Knowest thou how to shoot with a bow and arrows?'' |
5244 | Quoth his friend to him,"Why do I see thee troubled?" |
5244 | Quoth one of the merchants,"I,"and the dealer said to her,"O Sitt el Milah, shall I sell thee to this merchant?" |
5244 | Quoth she,"And what shall letters profit thee, seeing she answereth on this wise?" |
5244 | Quoth she,"So deem I. Hath not our Lord promised us wine in Paradise?" |
5244 | Quoth she,"What is that?" |
5244 | Quoth she,"Whence gottest thou them?" |
5244 | Quoth she,''Is there none with thee?'' |
5244 | Quoth the eunuch,"Is there amongst you a brother of his or a son?" |
5244 | Quoth the king to him,"Whence comest thou, O youth?" |
5244 | Quoth the king,"Where is he?" |
5244 | Quoth the king,"Whom wilt thou take with thee of attendants and[ what] of good?" |
5244 | Quoth the prefect,"How shall we do?" |
5244 | Quoth the princess,"And what is it?" |
5244 | Sherik ben Amrou, what device avails the hand of death to stay? |
5244 | So I kissed his hand and said,''O my lord, what is the lord''s occasion with the slave?'' |
5244 | So I said in myself,''Who will bury me in this place?'' |
5244 | So I said to him,''Knowest thou the art of painting?'' |
5244 | So I told him what had befallen me and he marvelled exceedingly and rejoiced, saying,''Knowst thou where this hill is?'' |
5244 | So he arose and brought her a gugglet of water; but she said to him,"Who bade thee fetch that?" |
5244 | So he cried out, saying,"Is there a comer- forth[ to battle?]" |
5244 | So he said to him,"O my lord, I conjure thee by God the Great, wilt thou not tell me whither thou intendest?" |
5244 | So he smelt it and she said to him,"How deemest thou?" |
5244 | So her lord went in to her and said to her,"O Sitt el Milah, how findest thou thyself?" |
5244 | So she saluted her and said to her,"Whence hadst thou this dress, than which there is no goodlier?" |
5244 | Tell me, are grapes and honey lawful or unlawful?" |
5244 | The Khalif laughed at him and said to him,"O elder, thou hast done no offence; so[ why] fearest thou?" |
5244 | The eunuchs cried out to us, whereupon we came with the boat, and they said to the boatman,"Who is this?" |
5244 | The love of Mariyeh fled forth of his heart and he said to the nurse,"How much hadst thou of Mariyeh every month?" |
5244 | The prefect bade carry him to his lodging; but one of those in attendance upon him, by name El Muradi, said to him,"What wilt thou do? |
5244 | The slave- dealer arose, shaking the dust from his clothes and head, and said,"Who biddeth more? |
5244 | Then he came to the damsel and said to her,"O Sitt el Milah, shall I sell thee to yonder young Damascene for sixteen hundred dinars?" |
5244 | Then he repeated his speech and said,"Why do I not hear your Amir return me an answer?" |
5244 | Then he went into the harem and gave the rubies to his wife Afifeh, who said to him,"What is the worth of these with thee and with[ other] the kings?" |
5244 | Then said El Fezl to the gaoler,"Is there any prisoner left in the prison?" |
5244 | Then said he to me,''O Sindbad, is this king, indeed, such as he avoucheth in this letter?'' |
5244 | Then said one of them to other,"Verily, the king is slain; so with whom do we wage war? |
5244 | Then said she,"Where is the goal of thine intent, so we may know thy news and solace ourselves with thy report?" |
5244 | Then said the king,"Hast thou a need we may accomplish unto thee? |
5244 | Then said the prince,"Wilt thou play another game?" |
5244 | Then she broke out again into song and chanted the following verses:"Forget him,"quoth my censurers,"forget him; what is he?" |
5244 | Then she slept awhile and presently awaking, said,"O elder, hast thou what we may eat?" |
5244 | Then they took him and carried him to[ their king] Zuheir ben Shebib; and when he came before him, he said to him,"Of which of the Arabs art thou?" |
5244 | Therewithal Noureddin''s life was troubled; so he arose and donned his clothes, and his host said,"Whither away this night, O my lord?" |
5244 | Therewithal the king''s chamberlains and officers accosted them and said to them,"What is behind you and what hath befallen you?" |
5244 | They gave not over going till they came up to me, when the woman stopped and said to me,''Hast thou a draught of water?'' |
5244 | This pleased her and she said to him,"Whence hadst thou this?" |
5244 | To lovers,"What see ye?" |
5244 | To whom save thee shall I complain, of whom relief implore, Whose image came to visit me, what while in dreams I lay? |
5244 | To whom shall I complain of what is in my soul, Now thou art gone and I my pillow must forswear? |
5244 | What care I If thou have looked on me a look that caused thee languishment? |
5244 | What hath befallen thee?" |
5244 | What is the cause of this?" |
5244 | What is there in the tents? |
5244 | What leach such madness can assain or what medicament? |
5244 | What shall be our excuse with the king? |
5244 | What shall be our excuse with thee, and thou of the sons of the kings?" |
5244 | When Er Reshid heard this, he was sore chagrined and waxed exceeding wroth and said,"Shall this happen in a city wherein I am?" |
5244 | When he named Akil, those who were present were agitated; but Zuheir signed to them with his eyes and said to him,"What is thine errand with Akil?" |
5244 | When he saw this, he was amazed and said to them,"What is to do?" |
5244 | When she awoke, she said to the old man,"O elder, hast thou aught of food?" |
5244 | When she saw the young man, she said to him,"Art thou here?" |
5244 | When such a fever fills the heart, what leach can make it whole? |
5244 | When the merchants saw him, they accosted him and said,"O youth, wilt thou not open thy shop?" |
5244 | When the nurse heard his words, she said to him,"O my lord, and which of the kings is thy father?" |
5244 | When the prince saw her in this plight, he was as a sleeper awakened and said to her,"What hath befallen thee? |
5244 | Whenas he runs, his feet still show like wings,[FN#140] and for the wind When was a rider found, except King Solomon it were? |
5244 | Who art thou of the folk?" |
5244 | Who art thou, wretch, that thou shouldst hope to win me? |
5244 | Who is desirous[ of buying?]" |
5244 | Why art thou purposed to depart and leave me to despair? |
5244 | Why to estrangement and despite inclin''st thou with the spy? |
5244 | Wilt thou go with us in any event? |
5244 | Wilt thou go with us?" |
5244 | Wilt thou sell me yonder slave- girl for sixteen hundred dinars?" |
5244 | With thy rhymes What wouldst of me? |
5244 | gilded? |
5244 | he saith, and to hearts of stone,"What love ye,"quoth he,"[ if to love me ye disdain?"] |
5244 | in a throat voice? |
5244 | in falsetto? |
5244 | in falsetto? |
5244 | one and all? |
5244 | so we may not enter into transgression?" |
47285 | And further, O my mother,he said,"I wish now that thou go thyself to the Sultan and put my request to him, for am I not thy child? |
47285 | And that is? |
47285 | And what price did he pay you? |
47285 | Art thou a man? |
47285 | Art thou mad, my son? |
47285 | But, O my beloved,he replied,"art thou sure that the Lamp is in his bosom?" |
47285 | But, O my son,answered she in dismay,"what can I say to him? |
47285 | Can it be that my husband''s brother did not die after all, or that he has risen from the grave? 47285 Canst thou direct me to a khan for shelter?" |
47285 | Canst thou not recognise thy mother? |
47285 | Canst thou not use the bow? |
47285 | Come, come,said Aladdin, smoothing her raven hair,"thou hast succeeded: wherefore weep? |
47285 | Darest thou address the Prince of the Faithful so? |
47285 | Did not Abu- l- Hasan come to me, plucking his beard and smiting his breast, and saying,''Nuzhet- el- Fuad is dead?'' 47285 Did you sell any of this kind to the Jew?" |
47285 | Hast thou jewels enough? |
47285 | Hast thou not heard that the Grand Vizier''s son is to take to himself this evening the beautiful Bedr- el- Budur? 47285 Hast thou still some further need?" |
47285 | Hast thou then suffered at my hands? |
47285 | Hath he accepted the jewels? 47285 Hath the Sultan considered thy request?" |
47285 | How can an ape possess such skill in the writing and rounding of a verse? |
47285 | How can he ask thee that,answered Aladdin,"when the jewels in the bowl are crying out my state and my condition? |
47285 | How now, O my mother? |
47285 | I am here, O my master; what is thy wish? |
47285 | Impossible? |
47285 | Is not his state already grievous enough that thou must invoke a worse fate upon him? |
47285 | Is not this offence enough? |
47285 | Is not this the tailor''s son? |
47285 | Is there any gold? |
47285 | Is thy bitterness of feeling gone? 47285 Know ye not that this is a desolate coast, and none has ever been seen upon it?" |
47285 | Nay, O my mother,answered Bedr- el- Budur,"dost thou doubt me? |
47285 | Nay, nay, O my mother,protested Aladdin;"it were wiser to keep them, for did not the Slave of the Ring deliver me from death? |
47285 | O King of the Age,he said,"doth thy Felicity now believe that the palace and all Aladdin''s wealth were the work of sorcery?" |
47285 | O King,he said,"thinkest thou that such a thing as this could be done save by the vilest of sorcery? |
47285 | O Sindbad,he said,"this King must be exceedingly wealthy and powerful; what sayest thou?" |
47285 | O brother mine,I replied,"I see here a melon, but where is the knife?" |
47285 | O brother,he said to me,"wilt thou in thy kindness cut me up a water melon, and sprinkle it with sugar?" |
47285 | O my Lord,he said, green with envy,"rich though these things be, thinkest thou they are worth one single curl of thy daughter''s head? |
47285 | O my lord,I said,"and the stranger that sojourneth with thee: if his wife die, do ye treat him in like manner?" |
47285 | O my mother,he said;"is this all the Sultan requireth? |
47285 | O my son,cried the Sultan as Aladdin greeted him,"why didst thou not let my jewellers complete the niche in the kiosk? |
47285 | O my son,she cried in despair,"wilt thou bring me into thy madness? |
47285 | O my son,she exclaimed, weeping,"said I not to thee that the Grand Vizier was thine enemy? |
47285 | O our Master and Prince,they said,"why hast thou tarried so long? |
47285 | On the head and the eye? |
47285 | Sayest thou so? |
47285 | Shall we return, O my uncle? |
47285 | Sire,said she,"why dost thou summon me thus into the presence of men?" |
47285 | Tell me, how doth this accursed man treat thee? |
47285 | Tell me, young man,he said,"what is thy name, that on a future occasion I may return thy hospitality?" |
47285 | Tell me,I said,"what is the history of this mountain?" |
47285 | Tell me,he asked again presently,"where doth this accursed keep the Lamp?" |
47285 | Tell me,he said,"who am I, and where am I?" |
47285 | Then,went on Abu- l- Hasan,"she will weep with thee, for have I not found favour in her eyes? |
47285 | These,I said,"are mine, and forty priceless damsels are also mine: what Sultan can compare with me?" |
47285 | Thou knowest me: what is thy desire? |
47285 | Uncle,she said;"what is abroad in the city that the people close their shops and place candles and garlands in their windows?" |
47285 | Well,said the Sultan,"where is thy palace? |
47285 | What ails thee? |
47285 | What is that bundle thou hast under thine arm? |
47285 | What is thy plan? |
47285 | What is thy suit? |
47285 | What is thy thought on this, O Vizier? |
47285 | What is thy will, O Prince of the Faithful? |
47285 | What is thy wish, O my master? |
47285 | What is thy wish, O my master? |
47285 | What is thy wish? 47285 What now, O my son?" |
47285 | What sayest thou, O Vizier? |
47285 | What sayest thou? |
47285 | What sayest thou? |
47285 | What strange thing is this? |
47285 | What? |
47285 | Where hast thou been, my son? |
47285 | Where is Aladdin? |
47285 | Where is this tomb of which thou speakest? |
47285 | Wherefore should I slay this woman, who hath done me no injury, and whom I have never seen before? |
47285 | Wherefore this? |
47285 | Wherefore, O my son? |
47285 | Wherefore, O my uncle? |
47285 | Who art thou, and what doest thou here? |
47285 | Who art thou, miserable old woman? |
47285 | Wilt thou not help me? |
47285 | Wouldst thou like to be a merchant? |
47285 | After some days he called me to him and said,"Art thou skilled in any art or trade?" |
47285 | Am I not thine uncle, and have I not said it? |
47285 | Am I now Abu- l- Hasan dreaming I am the Khalifeh, or was I, last night and heretofore for many nights, the Khalifeh dreaming he was Abu- l- Hasan?" |
47285 | And are there such radiant maidens even in the Fragrant Paradise?" |
47285 | And did I not cleave the hillside with my incantations? |
47285 | And hath he risen to a high position through the Lamp and the Slave of the Lamp?" |
47285 | And is it not thy duty to perform this office for me?" |
47285 | And my daughter, where is she? |
47285 | And the Sultan answered with a charming smile,"O my son, thou art too generous; but who could refuse thee anything?" |
47285 | And, what is more to me, where is my daughter?" |
47285 | And, whenever Aladdin thanked his uncle for his kindness, the Dervish replied,"Nay, boy; am I not thine uncle? |
47285 | Art thou not the tailor''s son?" |
47285 | Besides all this, O my son, how shall I even gain access to the Sultan''s presence for this purpose without bearing a rich gift to offer him? |
47285 | But Aladdin''s face told him nothing; so he enquired,"What price do you ask, O my master?" |
47285 | But how shalt thou approach the Sultan in thy merchant''s garments? |
47285 | But is not thy promise worth most of all? |
47285 | But what desert place had I come to by this daring misadventure? |
47285 | But when he heard the name"Aladdin,"and the fame attached to it, he muttered to himself,"Can this be he? |
47285 | Everything? |
47285 | Give me, I pray thee, a little space of time-- two days; and when my eyes are dim with weeping for Aladdin--""Two days? |
47285 | Had he gone mad? |
47285 | Hast thou a plan which is not a trick? |
47285 | Hast thou ever, from first to last, beheld a palace like this?" |
47285 | Hast thou not an old lamp so that we might test him and see whether his cry be true or false?" |
47285 | Hath he refused the jewels, and thy head still on thy shoulders?" |
47285 | Having waited so long, surely thou canst wait another--""Day? |
47285 | He appeared to take thought for a moment, and then he said:"Thou wilt swear that thou lovest not this man?" |
47285 | How camest thou hither?" |
47285 | How can I marry another when this very day I depart this life?" |
47285 | How can my son do this? |
47285 | How hast thou hid from me so long?" |
47285 | How should he reach it? |
47285 | I said,"Tell me why is this: that ye bury the living with the dead?" |
47285 | I then took steps to separate them, but who can lock love out? |
47285 | Immediately the Efrite stepped out of the unseen and stood before him, saying,"Thou hast invoked me: what is thy desire? |
47285 | In a flash the Slave of the Ring appeared and standing before him, said,"O my master, what is thy desire?" |
47285 | Is it clear to thee, my son?" |
47285 | Is not thy heart with us?" |
47285 | Is there aught else thou dost desire?" |
47285 | Is there, perchance, one amongst them who is a skilled caligraphist?'' |
47285 | Knowest thou aught of her?" |
47285 | Knowest thou not that the King of this city is thy father''s greatest enemy, having a blood- debt against him? |
47285 | Knowest thou not that, to- day, they will bury my wife, and that they will bury me also in the same tomb with her? |
47285 | Meanwhile, do you all agree to what I have proposed?" |
47285 | Methinks I dream, or--"he went on, half to himself,--"Can it be? |
47285 | My guest-- he bade me drink and-- what subtle enchantment is this? |
47285 | Page 169]"What is my offence?" |
47285 | Peradventure another bowl of jewels?" |
47285 | Said I not to thee that the Grand Vizier was thine enemy? |
47285 | Seeing this, he rallied me and said,"Art thou dumb? |
47285 | Shall we admit them?" |
47285 | She hastened home to Aladdin, who, when he saw her with the bowl of jewels just as when she departed, cried,"What is this, O my mother? |
47285 | Tell me, O Vizier, have I in my treasury a single jewel that will compare with even the smallest of these?" |
47285 | The Efrite saw her look, and cried,"Is it not enough? |
47285 | The Executioner set forth running at full speed, and no sooner was he gone than the Khalifeh said to Zubeydeh,"Wilt thou make me a wager?" |
47285 | Then she questioned him, saying,"O my son, was not this the same Efrite that appeared to thee when thou wast in the cavern?" |
47285 | Then the being spoke:"Thou hast invoked me; what is thy wish?" |
47285 | Then, O my mother, if I place in thy hands an offering richer than any King in the world can make to any other, wilt thou carry out my desire?" |
47285 | Then, addressing the woman, he said:"Hast thou chosen?" |
47285 | Then, gradually, arose a great cry of wonder and astonishment, which spread throughout the city: Had the King chosen an ape for his Grand Vizier? |
47285 | Then, seeing that they were perplexed, I shouted in my excitement,"Do you not hear me? |
47285 | Therefore, to preserve my honour in Zubeydeh''s eyes, is it not proper that_ thou_ be dead?" |
47285 | Thou canst do this?" |
47285 | What ails thee? |
47285 | What dost thou desire me to do?" |
47285 | What gift wilt thou send the wedded pair? |
47285 | What hast thou done for thy country, or what are thy vast possessions that the Sultan should reward thee with his daughter?" |
47285 | What is his condition and state of life?''" |
47285 | What is it, O my mother?" |
47285 | What is thy desire?" |
47285 | What marvellous thing was this? |
47285 | What say you, O my sisters?" |
47285 | What sayest thou? |
47285 | What sayest thou?" |
47285 | What stranger could refuse? |
47285 | What thinkest thou, my son?" |
47285 | What was he not going to do for me? |
47285 | When, presently, he regained his senses, he sat up and cried out,"What have I done, O my uncle, that thou shouldst strike me?" |
47285 | Where hast thou been, and where is thine uncle?" |
47285 | Where were the slave girls? |
47285 | Which is easier: for the Khalifeh to play the merchant, or the merchant to play the Khalifeh? |
47285 | Who will exchange old lamps for new?" |
47285 | Who will exchange old lamps for new?" |
47285 | Why had he not already won this as well as her love by means of the Lamp? |
47285 | Will you grace it with your presence?" |
47285 | Wilt thou not have the palace whole?" |
47285 | Wilt thou still commit the crime of unfaithfulness with thine eye?" |
47285 | Ye doubt me? |
47285 | and has not the Slave of the Lamp brought us delicious food when we were hungry?" |
47285 | he cried;"did we not swear never to cross one another''s path?" |
47285 | he gasped;"have I attained to the fragrant Paradise, or do I dream?" |
47285 | he was shouting;"am I not the Prince of the Faithful?" |
47285 | my son, of a truth thou art favoured by fate; for how else could''st thou escape so great a peril? |
47285 | said Nuzhat- el- Fuad, eagerly,"proceed-- what then?" |
47285 | said the King,"this excellent work done by an ape?" |
47285 | said the lady, regarding me intently,"or art thou an Efrite?" |
47285 | whither shall I flee for safety?" |
47285 | why dost thou laugh?" |
5243 | Canst thou[ bring me to] lay hold of them? |
5243 | Hast thou a house? |
5243 | Hath there been feud between us aforetime? |
5243 | How so? |
5243 | How so? |
5243 | Is it lawful,continued she,"in any one that he should slander me and say that I am humpbacked?" |
5243 | O my lord,rejoined I,"what story is this that thou desirest of me and of what kind shall it be of the kinds?" |
5243 | Sayst thou this to me,asked she,"and thou captain of men?" |
5243 | The wife rejoiced in her saying and said to her,And when shall this be?" |
5243 | Well? |
5243 | What is the cause of this? |
5243 | What is thine advertisement? |
5243 | Where is the contract? |
5243 | Who is thy father,asked the young merchant,"and what is his condition?" |
5243 | Yes,answered the draper, and the other said,"Knowest thou what is come of it?" |
5243 | [ FN#186]''And where,''asked Er Reshed,''is this Tuhfeh, who hath not her like in the world?'' 5243 ''And what hast thou in mind of device?'' 5243 ''And what is the deposit?'' 5243 ''Canst thou direct me where it is sold?'' 5243 ''Didst thou not hear the first of the speech?'' 5243 ''How so?'' 5243 ''How then deemest thou we should do?'' 5243 ''Is that thy desire?'' 5243 ''Is there a way for me to see it?'' 5243 ''Nay,''answered I;''but tell me[ first], hath there befallen thee aught?'' 5243 ''O my lord,''answered she,''what am I that thou shouldst kiss my hand? 5243 ''Out on thee, O dog of the Jinn,''replied she,''knowest thou not thy place?'' 5243 ''Was it not on such a day, by such a token, and thus and thus?'' 5243 ''What is it?'' 5243 ''What is that?'' 5243 ''What is their story?'' 5243 ''What proof hast thou of that?'' 5243 ''What was it?'' 5243 ''What was that?'' 5243 ''What was their case?'' 5243 ''Yes,''answered he, and the other continued,''And wilt thou buy that which is with me?'' 5243 ''Yes,''answered she, and he said,''Leave frowardness,[FN#175] for to whom doth it happen to be in the house of Ishac the boon- companion? 5243 ''Yes,''answered she; and he continued,''Is he not a Jew and is not his ailment indigestion?'' 5243 ''[ FN#102] The Cadi will say,''What is the meaning of thy saying,The two words are not alike"?'' |
5243 | ''[ FN#174]''What is the meaning of El Hemca?'' |
5243 | ''[ FN#200] Then said her father Es Shisban to her,''What is this laughing?'' |
5243 | And Dukhan answered, saying,''And who abideth in the palace? |
5243 | And he answered,"How shall any missay of thy charms, and thou the sun of loveliness?" |
5243 | And he said to her,''Art thou indeed Tuhfeh?'' |
5243 | And my friend said to me,''Behold, we are two, and what can they avail to do with us?'' |
5243 | And the merchant said,''When didst thou give it me?'' |
5243 | And the thief said,"Art thou the Sultan?" |
5243 | And they said,"Is she thy wife by contract[FN#118] or without contract?" |
5243 | As he was about to go away, the cook said to him,''O youth, doubtless thou art a stranger?'' |
5243 | But was it thou who was singing but now?'' |
5243 | But, when she and my family knew me, they rejoiced and said to me,"What aileth thee?" |
5243 | Can any one part with his life? |
5243 | Canst thou not hold thy peace till thou goest forth of the festival and this bride- feast[FN#222] be accomplished? |
5243 | Doth any praise himself? |
5243 | Hast thou not seen this in a dream?'' |
5243 | Hast thou skill in the delivering of women?'' |
5243 | He in turn kissed her hand and called down blessings on her and said,''How deemest thou? |
5243 | How canst thou feel assured of safety, after that which thou hast done? |
5243 | How shall I bring forth my wife?" |
5243 | How shall it be permitted that the daughter of the Cadi of the Muslims abide with a man of the dancers and vile of origin? |
5243 | How wilt thou make out that the right is on thy side?" |
5243 | I looked at the place[ behind the door] and said,"What is yonder dark place that I see?" |
5243 | I marvelled at her words and said to her,"What wouldst thou have me do?" |
5243 | Indeed thou exceedest: knowest thou not that her sister Wekhimeh is doughtier than any of the Jinn? |
5243 | Indeed, thou hast done me kindness, and what is the reason of this?" |
5243 | Is not this marvellous?'' |
5243 | Is she not such an one whose marriage contract we drew up in such a place?" |
5243 | Is[ not] this place pleasant, for all its loneliness and desolation?'' |
5243 | Know ye not that the day belongeth to you and the night to us? |
5243 | Knowest thou not that Imlac is of the chiefs of the Jinn? |
5243 | Learn to know thyself: hast thou no regard for thy life?'' |
5243 | Next morning, up came the Cadi, with his face like the ox- eye,[FN#104] and said,"In the name of God, where is my debtor and where is my money?" |
5243 | Now each of them had it in mind to cheat his fellow; so El Merouzi said to Er Razi,''Wilt thou sell me that?'' |
5243 | Now he was ware of the king''s love for women; so he said to his wife,''What is this that I see with thee?'' |
5243 | On the fourth day, Er Razi said to him,''Know, O my brother, that I purpose to do somewhat''''What is it?'' |
5243 | Presently, up came El Merouzi, for the division of the money, and hearing the crying[ of the mourners], said,''What is to do?" |
5243 | Quoth El Melik ez Zahir,''What was that?'' |
5243 | Quoth I to her,"O my lady, who art thou?" |
5243 | Quoth I,"How so?" |
5243 | Quoth I,"Thinkest thou to delude me?" |
5243 | Quoth I,"What have I to do with the daughter of the Cadi Amin el Hukm?" |
5243 | Quoth I,''I have been on a journey;''and she said,''Why didst thou wink at the Turcoman?'' |
5243 | Quoth I,''We are the first of the folk; but where are their voices? |
5243 | Quoth Iblis,''And what befitteth it to do?'' |
5243 | Quoth Wekhimeh to her,''Who is like unto thee, O Anca? |
5243 | Quoth he,"Are ye not ashamed? |
5243 | Quoth he,"What deemest thou of cozenage?" |
5243 | Quoth he,''Ye tell a marvellous story; but what hath[ Fate] done with your father?'' |
5243 | Quoth she,"Is it fair of any one to missay of my charms?" |
5243 | Quoth she,''And what wilt thou have of me?'' |
5243 | Quoth she,''What sayest thou?'' |
5243 | Quoth she,''Why didst thou that?'' |
5243 | Quoth the cook,''What is the craft?'' |
5243 | Quoth the merchant,"Knowest thou not, O my lord, that I am of this tribe? |
5243 | Quoth the other,''Wilt thou not make haste and awaken the Commander of the Faithful?'' |
5243 | Quoth the prefect,"Did its owner sell it to thee?" |
5243 | Quoth the sage,''Dost thou know Galen?'' |
5243 | Quoth they,''And who was this dog that we should send to thee, on his account? |
5243 | Quoth they,''Lewd fellow that thou art, dost thou bespeak us thus? |
5243 | Said ye not truly, aforetime, that we should live and meet? |
5243 | Seest thou default[ in the entertainment] or dost thou mock at us, of thy lack of breeding?" |
5243 | Seest thou in me any default?" |
5243 | Seest thou not that I am a stranger? |
5243 | Shall he carry off Tuhfeh from my very palace and outrage mine honour? |
5243 | She heard our voices and raising her eyes to us, said,"Are ye not ashamed to deal with us thus and discover our nakedness? |
5243 | She told him their names and her own, whereby he knew that it was she whose belly he had slit and said to her,''And where are thy father and mother?'' |
5243 | So I said,"O my lord, what is this thou sayest?" |
5243 | So he betook himself to her, and said to her,''Wilt thou be sold to Ishac ben Ibrahim el Mausili?'' |
5243 | So he repaired to the draper''s shop and sat down by him and said to him,"Thou knowest the turban- cloth I bought of thee?" |
5243 | So he said,''O Sewab, what aileth thee?'' |
5243 | So he stood and said to her,''Who art thou and what is thy need?'' |
5243 | So she improvised and sang the following verses: Beard of the old he- goat, the one- eyed, what shall be My saying of a knave, his fashion and degree? |
5243 | So the highwayman took the saddle- bags and offered to kill the traveller, who said,"What is this? |
5243 | So the thief returned in haste to his fellows, who said,''What is behind thee?'' |
5243 | So they arose in haste and betaking themselves to the Khalif''s presence, said to him,''O Commander of the Faithful, what is to do?'' |
5243 | So they brought him into his presence on the speediest wise, and when Galen saw him before him, he said to him,''Knowest thou me?'' |
5243 | So they laid hands on me and carried me to the chief of the police, who said,"What hast thou to do with this fellow?" |
5243 | Tell me, was ever yet a mortal spared of thee? |
5243 | The Khalif was amazed at his speech and said to him,''What sayst thou?'' |
5243 | The assessor looked out of window and seeing the folk, said,"What aileth you?" |
5243 | The deputy was angered against him and said to him,"What is the meaning of thy laughter? |
5243 | The doorkeepers thought that he was the washer and said to him,''Hast thou made an end of the washing, so we may tell the Amir?'' |
5243 | The folk marvelled at this story and as for the prefect and El Melik ez Zahir, they said,''Wrought ever any the like of this device?'' |
5243 | The old man kissed his hand and went away; whereupon quoth Er Reshid to him,''O Ishac, who is yonder man and what is his occasion?'' |
5243 | The thief turned to me and looking a long while in my face, said,"Who took this man?" |
5243 | Then Selim turned to Selma and said to her,''O sister mine, how deemest thou of this calamity and what counsellest thou thereanent?'' |
5243 | Then he accosted Er Razi''s wife and said to her,''How came his death about?'' |
5243 | Then he rushed in upon them, and when El Merouzi saw him, he marvelled at him and said to him,''How didst thou make thine escape?'' |
5243 | Then he turned to the woman and said to her,''And thou, what sayst thou?'' |
5243 | Then he wept and cried out and said to the prefect,"Where is that ill- omened fellow, who aboundeth in thievery and villainy?" |
5243 | Then said Er Razi,''What is this, O fool?'' |
5243 | Then said Galen,''What prompted thee to that which thou dost?'' |
5243 | Then said I to her,"Belike thou wilt seek us another pitcher of water?" |
5243 | Then said he to me,''O my friend, hath there befallen thee in thy life aught of calamity?'' |
5243 | Then said she,"Hath any the right to say of me that I am lophanded? |
5243 | Then said the Amir to me,"What aileth thee that thou answerest not?" |
5243 | Then said the magistrate,"How camest thou to bring it[ for sale] to the place whence thou stolest it?" |
5243 | Then she went on before me and I followed her till she came to a lodging- house and said to the housekeeper,"Hast thou an empty chamber?" |
5243 | Then will he say to thee,''Then thou art an ape- leader of the tribe of the mountebanks?'' |
5243 | Therewith the prefect turned to me and said,"Why dost thou not answer the Cadi?" |
5243 | What art thou that thou shouldst bespeak us thus? |
5243 | What had it irked them, had they''d ta''en farewell of him they''ve left Lone, whilst estrangement''s fires within his entrails rage amain? |
5243 | What is her price in money and how much dost thou ask for her?, Quoth the slave- dealer,''She whom thou mentionest is called Tuhfet el Hemca. |
5243 | What is the pleasance of the world, except it be to see My lady''s face, to drink of wine and ditties still to hear? |
5243 | What is there in thee to love?" |
5243 | What is this thou sayst? |
5243 | What is to do?'' |
5243 | What manner of thing is this?'' |
5243 | What wilt thou have me do now?'' |
5243 | When I saw her make the ablution, I said in myself,"This woman doth on this wise, and shall I not do the like of her?" |
5243 | When Iblis heard this, he gave a cry, to which the earth trembled, and said,''What is to be done? |
5243 | When he heard her voice, he recovered from his swoon and said to her,''Who art thou?'' |
5243 | When her husband heard this, he said to her,''What is thy name and what are the names of thy father and mother?'' |
5243 | When she saw him, she knew him and said to him,''What prompteth the king unto this that he doth?'' |
5243 | When the morning morrowed, he recited the following verses: How long, O Fate, wilt thou oppress and baffle me? |
5243 | Where an the sweetmeats? |
5243 | Where is a man''s resource and what can he do? |
5243 | Where is the coffee? |
5243 | Who am I that thou shouldst say all this to me? |
5243 | Who brought thee into this water- wheel?" |
5243 | Who is stronger than Thou in resource? |
5243 | Whom hast thou left in the palace?'' |
5243 | Why wilt thou slay me?'' |
5243 | Wilt thou bespeak the like of me with these words?'' |
5243 | Wilt thou have God punish me for this and that my term should come to an end and my felicity pass away? |
5243 | Yet how can I let this knavish dog die and lose the money? |
5243 | [ FN#170]? |
5243 | [ FN#173] For not selling me? |
5243 | [ FN#194] Dost thou know me?'' |
5243 | [ FN#223] Where, then, is the worth that in aught with my worth can compare And where is the rank in men''s eyes can be likened to mine? |
5243 | [ FN#22] Then said the woman,''What is the remedy?'' |
5243 | [ FN#242] Couldst thou find none on whom to vent thy drunken humour and whom to maltreat save Tuhfeh, more by token that she is a queen? |
5243 | [ FN#2] i.e., he dared not attempt to force her? |
5243 | and said to them,''Why have ye broken open my chest? |
5243 | answered I, and he said,"What is that thou hast with thee?" |
5243 | asked Selim and she said,''Is there nothing for it but to slay him? |
5243 | change the sir to one less poignant? |
5243 | not indigenous? |
5243 | the inhabitants of the island and the sailors? |
5243 | the mysterious speaker? |
5243 | the singers? |
5243 | why tarriest thou to make an end of her? |
5243 | women''s tricks? |
128 | A man or a genius? |
128 | Ali Cogia,he said,"when you brought me the vase of olives did I ever touch it?" |
128 | Amina,I exclaimed in astonishment,"is that the way you eat rice at home? |
128 | And how come you here? |
128 | And suppose,answered the dervish,"that your enemies are invisible, how then?" |
128 | And what can they be? |
128 | And what is that? |
128 | And where do you go now? |
128 | And you,she asked, addressing another,"were you born blind of one eye?" |
128 | Are you not a debtor of the King of the Ebony Island? |
128 | Are you quite well now? |
128 | As for her looking a little younger than we do, what does that matter? 128 As you are so kind,"I said,"tell me, I pray you, what are the virtues of this ointment?" |
128 | But how do you know this, my daughter? |
128 | But if he really is a stranger to me,she replied,"why should I tell a lie and cause his death?" |
128 | But what have I done to you? |
128 | But what is the matter with the princess that she needs the dervish''s prayers? |
128 | But why not? |
128 | But why,cried the king in a burst of fear and anger,"why did you not call him back when you saw him disappearing?" |
128 | But, bird,objected the princess,"you know how dearly we love each other; will not all this spoil our friendship?" |
128 | But, madam,inquired the Persian,"what harm is there in that?" |
128 | But, my son,urged Fatima,"you surely do not wish to be the last of a race which has reigned so long and so gloriously over this kingdom?" |
128 | But, your Majesty,said I,"dare I ask if this law applies to foreigners also?" |
128 | But,said the merchant,"how can I have killed your son? |
128 | But,thought he,"how shall I find my way back? |
128 | By what accident do you come here? |
128 | Ca n''t you see for yourself that it can belong to nobody but a Barmecide? |
128 | Can you possibly understand what the Sultan saw in that little cat,said one to the other,"for him to be so fascinated by her?" |
128 | Charming Maimoune,asked Danhasch,"may I inquire who and what is the prince of whom you speak?" |
128 | Charming Persian,answered Noureddin,"how could I be guilty of such baseness? |
128 | Do you call this a simple country house? |
128 | Do you imagine that I should appropriate this treasure? 128 Do you know it is a whole year''s journey from here? |
128 | Do you know this lake? |
128 | Do you not know,was the answer,"that the son of the grand- vizir is to marry the Sultan''s daughter to- night?" |
128 | Do you see that mountain? |
128 | Do you think I can tell you while I am shut up in here? |
128 | Do you wish him to regain his proper shape? |
128 | Does he want to take my son from me? |
128 | Forgive my ignorance,he asked,"what is this palace you speak of?" |
128 | Good- day,he answered;"is it possible that you do not recognise me?" |
128 | Have you lost your senses? |
128 | Have you not heard of Prince Aladdin''s palace,was the reply,"the greatest wonder of the world? |
128 | How can I be better,answered the Sultan, imitating the language of the Ethiopians,"when I can never sleep for the cries and groans of your husband?" |
128 | How can I thank you for your goodness towards a stranger, and for what you have done? 128 How did this hatchet and those shoes get here?" |
128 | How did you escape? |
128 | How do you like this bread? |
128 | How have you made up your mind,he asked,"to sacrifice your own daughter to me?" |
128 | How long do you require? |
128 | How should I, when I never saw her before? |
128 | How should I? |
128 | I gave you the key of my shop and you put it yourself where you liked, and did you not find it in exactly the same spot and in the same state? 128 I have just freed you; have you already forgotten that?" |
128 | I think it was you who judged the case of Ali Cogia and the merchant last night? 128 I? |
128 | Is it possible,he cried,"that while I am in Bagdad, a man like you should be starving? |
128 | Is it true, gentlemen,asked Zobeida, drawing herself up,"that you have charged this man to put me that question?" |
128 | Is it your pleasure to rise? |
128 | Is there any other verdict possible? |
128 | Is this,continued Zobeida, growing more angry every moment,"is this the return you make for the hospitality I have shown you? |
128 | It would be an excellent thing to do,returned the grand- vizir,"but how do you propose to accomplish it?" |
128 | Ladies,I replied,"what is the meaning of these strange words-- I pray you to tell me?" |
128 | Madam,replied the slave,"who can help laughing to see an old fool offering to exchange fine new lamps for old ones?" |
128 | Most likely,said the prince;"but now that you are here I am glad of the opportunity to ask you where is the lady who slept in this room last night?" |
128 | My good man, where do you come from? |
128 | Oh, madam,replied he,"how can you desire me to quit you in the state in which I am? |
128 | Once again, my father,said Scheherazade,"will you grant me what I ask?" |
128 | Since I must die,he said,"before I choose the manner of my death, I conjure you on your honour to tell me if you really were in that vase?" |
128 | Sire,answered the princess,"do you see that cage hanging in one of the windows of the saloon? |
128 | Sire,she said to her father,"what can you be thinking of to summon me like this into the presence of a man?" |
128 | So, captain,said I,"the merchant who owned those bales was called Sindbad?" |
128 | Tell me, madam, I pray you,he said at last,"how this marvellous tree came into your garden? |
128 | Tell me,he cried,"where is this wicked woman, and where is the miserable object of her affection, whom she just manages to keep alive?" |
128 | Tell me,he said,"how long can olives be kept so as to be pleasant eating?" |
128 | Tell me,said he,"can you shoot with a bow?" |
128 | Tell me,she cried,"where is the young man I love so dearly, and who slept near me last night?" |
128 | That vase could not contain one of your feet even, and how could your whole body go in? 128 Well,"asked the Sultan,"can you tell me what must be done to disenchant the young prince?" |
128 | Well,asked the king as soon as he appeared,"and how did you find my son?" |
128 | What are you doing? |
128 | What are you doing? |
128 | What are you thinking of, sir,exclaimed some;"why expose yourself to certain death? |
128 | What business is that of yours? |
128 | What can he have done to deserve to be treated like this? |
128 | What crimes have I committed, your majesty? |
128 | What danger can there be? |
128 | What did Imma do to Ateca? |
128 | What do you mean? |
128 | What do you mean? |
128 | What does a dervish want with riches like that? |
128 | What does it all mean?'' 128 What had the vizir done,"said the Greek king,"to merit the punishment?" |
128 | What has put such a thing into your head? 128 What have I done, uncle?" |
128 | What have you been doing? |
128 | What have you done? |
128 | What is it? |
128 | What is the matter, my sister? |
128 | What is this you are saying, great genius? 128 What news?" |
128 | What would you have, Sindbad? |
128 | What, are you still so obstinate? |
128 | What, you are dying of hunger? |
128 | When you arrived here did you not sit down on the ground? |
128 | Where am I? |
128 | Where have you hidden your musicians? |
128 | Where is my palace and my daughter? |
128 | Who are you, my lord? |
128 | Who are you? 128 Who is this imbecile?" |
128 | Why are you so drowsy? |
128 | Why are you so resolved upon your own ruin? |
128 | Why, bird, who ever heard of such a dish? 128 Why, what are you doing here?" |
128 | Why,cried she,"was it you my father wished me to marry? |
128 | Will your highness permit me to do as my sister asks? |
128 | You condemn yourself by your refusal,said the genius; then turning to me, he added,"and you, do you not know her?" |
128 | You suppose him to have perished then? |
128 | You travelled,I said,"and what did you gain?" |
128 | Aladdin''s mother, when she came to herself, said:"Whence comes this splendid feast?" |
128 | Ali Cogia,"he added,"have you got the vase with you?" |
128 | And did you do it because your appetite was so small, or did you wish to count the grains so that you might never eat more than a certain number? |
128 | And other voices replied,"Where is he, mamma, that we may eat him at once, as we are very hungry?" |
128 | And supposing that I had the strength, why should I put an innocent man to death?" |
128 | Approaching my brother with an angry countenance he exclaimed,"What business have you here?" |
128 | Are not the heads you see exposed on the town wall sufficient warning? |
128 | Are you ill? |
128 | As soon as my wife heard me speak this she at once cried out,"What are you doing, husband? |
128 | But how can he or any one else know what takes place in this house? |
128 | But how would it be if he were first to marry? |
128 | But may I ask the purpose of your question?" |
128 | But putting him aside she addressed the others a second time, saying,"Answer me; who are you? |
128 | But what am I saying? |
128 | But what dangers can there be in the adventure which courage and a good sword can not meet?" |
128 | But when I have related it, will you grant me also the third part of the merchant''s punishment?" |
128 | But, good brother, you, who are so kind and charitable, and know the secrets of such vast learning, have you nothing that will give me back my sight?" |
128 | But, indeed, I have no inclination to change my state, for where could I find so happy a life amidst so many beautiful and delightful surroundings? |
128 | Can you doubt any longer?" |
128 | Did you ever say anything about them before? |
128 | Did you not read the inscription over the door? |
128 | Do n''t you remember now?" |
128 | Do you not think it is a most marvellous one? |
128 | Giving him one last embrace, I observed accidentally,"What are you going to do with that little box of ointment? |
128 | Hagi Hassan, then closing the door upon her, began to offer her for sale-- calling out:"Who will bid 4,000 gold pieces for the Persian slave?" |
128 | Has my husband not told you that you are destined for the king?" |
128 | Have you ever heard of anyone who has suffered more, or had more narrow escapes than I have? |
128 | Have you forgotten the one condition on which you were allowed to enter the house? |
128 | He lay quite still, and in a moment he heard a voice saying,"Can you guess whom this man is that we have saved from death?" |
128 | He rubbed it, and the genie appeared, saying:"What is thy will?" |
128 | He was thunderstruck, and turning to the vizir said:"What sayest thou? |
128 | He went up to her and, imitating the voice of a woman, he said,"Do you happen to have a pair of scales you could lend me? |
128 | How am I to know that she will not be proud, passionate, contemptuous, and recklessly extravagant, or that her disposition will in any way suit mine?" |
128 | How were you driven to commit such a terrible crime?" |
128 | I cried,"what is happening?" |
128 | I have a presentiment that Ali Cogia will return, and what will he think of you? |
128 | I have come to ask whether you would do me the favour to keep this vase of olives for me till I come back?" |
128 | If he wished to take my life, why did he cure me? |
128 | Immediately an enormous and frightful genie rose out of the earth, saying:"What wouldst thou with me? |
128 | Is it not just that I should now enjoy a life of ease and tranquillity?" |
128 | Is it possible that you take me, my lord, for one of those miserable creatures who force their way into houses to beg for alms? |
128 | Is not this hatchet yours, and these shoes?" |
128 | Is this not a most marvellous tale? |
128 | It is now for you to say if we deserve mercy or punishment; life or death?" |
128 | Must I go up hill or down? |
128 | My own? |
128 | Now what do you say?" |
128 | Of what use would my alms be if I treated you so ill?" |
128 | Or has anything happened?" |
128 | Ought I not to bestow the princess on one who values her at such a price?" |
128 | Shall I cure the princess in her own presence, or shall I do it from here without seeing her?" |
128 | She came near his couch and said,"Are you better to- day, my dear slave? |
128 | She struck one of the fish with her rod,"Fish, fish,"said she,"are you doing your duty?" |
128 | She then returned to the cage, and said:"Bird, there is still something else, where shall I find the Singing Tree?" |
128 | Should he follow his father into the palace, and there give reins to his despair? |
128 | Still, Amina, it seems to me that there be some among them as sweet to the taste as the flesh of a corpse?" |
128 | Suddenly Zobeida turned round, and seeing their excitement she said,"What is the matter-- what are you all discussing so earnestly?" |
128 | The Sultan sent her mother to her, who said:"How comes it, child, that you will not speak to your father? |
128 | The lady who had led him hither stood watching him with amusement, till the porteress exclaimed,"Why do n''t you come in, my sister? |
128 | The poor man was dumb with horror, then, lifting up his hands, he exclaimed,"Can my old friend really have committed such a crime?" |
128 | The prince recognised her at once, and, embracing her with the utmost tenderness, cried,"Ah, how can I thank the king for this delightful surprise?" |
128 | Then Maimoune turning to the genie said:"Well, are you satisfied that my prince surpasses your princess? |
128 | Then a voice came from the vase which said to the fisherman,"Well, unbelieving fisherman, here I am in the vase; do you believe me now?" |
128 | Then he said to my brother,"Why do n''t you wash your hands too?" |
128 | Then, turning to his attendants who stood round, he said to them,"What reward shall I give to the man who has restored me my daughter?" |
128 | Thus Sindbad ended the story of his seventh and last voyage, and turning to Hindbad he added:"Well, my friend, and what do you think now? |
128 | Was it by accident that one window was left unfinished?" |
128 | We have waited for your awakening; tell us now whence you come and where you were going by that dangerous way?" |
128 | What do you think about it?" |
128 | What do you want?" |
128 | What has happened?" |
128 | What has he done that you should give him this pleasant life-- what have I done to deserve so hard a fate?" |
128 | What is its name?" |
128 | What was he to do? |
128 | What would you say if you could see the prince I have just been looking at and whose beauty is really transcendent? |
128 | Whatever befalls me I can not forbear asking,` Why you daub your faces with black, and how it is you are all blind of one eye?''" |
128 | Where did you get them from?" |
128 | Where is the lamp?" |
128 | Who are you?" |
128 | Who knows what this remedy, with which he has cured you, may not in time have a bad effect on you?" |
128 | Whose is this palace, and why is it thus empty?" |
128 | Why not wait another year and then inform the Prince in the midst of the assembled council that the good of the state demands his marriage? |
128 | Why should I not build a raft and trust myself to its swiftly flowing waters? |
128 | Will you grant it to me?" |
128 | Will you tell some of them to me?" |
128 | You do not belong to the house?" |
128 | and what is the world coming to? |
128 | answered the king,"what is to hinder the horse from descending straight into the sea, or dashing him to pieces on the rocks?" |
128 | asked Prince Bahman;"why are you so grave? |
128 | asked the genius,"and did you not take some dates from your wallet, and whilst eating them did not you throw the stones about?" |
128 | cried the genius,"is not this man your lover?" |
128 | exclaimed the lady,"you ask me that, knowing that my son Noureddin has been alone with you?" |
128 | he asked the princess;"are they up in the air, or under the earth? |
128 | he cried,"do you know me?" |
128 | he cried,"is it not enough that I have done everything for you, but you must command me to bring my master and hang him up in the midst of this dome? |
128 | he cried,"you do not wake at the signs of Camaralzaman''s love? |
128 | he exclaimed,"how would it be possible for any man, much less a woman, to enter this room at night without walking over your slave on the threshold? |
128 | he exclaimed,"why did I not wait for the light? |
128 | he exclaimed;"where is the spring, and how do you make the fountain rise so high? |
128 | replied Maimoune,"what harm can you do me? |
128 | said the king;"is that wretch still alive? |
128 | she exclaimed,"what is the meaning of this? |
128 | she said in a bewildered manner;"and how did I get here?" |
128 | they asked,"and did the gardener come to tell you he had found a treasure?" |
128 | what shall I say to the Sultan? |
128 | why should you kill me?" |
20916 | And how,said the emeer,"can we contrive to enter it, and divert ourselves with a view of its wonders?" |
20916 | And how,said the king,"do they walk in the sea without being wetted?" |
20916 | And what did Imama to Ateca? |
20916 | And what is that? |
20916 | And what may that reason be, sir,replied Ali Baba,"if I may be so bold as to ask you?" |
20916 | And what stratagem is it you would employ? |
20916 | And where,said the sheikh,"is the way to the City of Brass, and the place wherein are the bottles? |
20916 | Are all my sons,demanded he,"in the tower?" |
20916 | But they who will attack you are not to be seen,replied the dervish;"how will you defend yourself against invisible persons?" |
20916 | But wherein have I offended you? |
20916 | From whence come you? |
20916 | Genie,said he,"will not you keep the oath you just now made?" |
20916 | How comes it, child,said the sultaness,"that you do not return my caresses? |
20916 | How many of these pieces,added he,"have you? |
20916 | How, brother? |
20916 | Is that your reward for the service I have rendered you? |
20916 | Know''st thou not that lake? |
20916 | Mother,replied he,"how do you know the sultan has been guilty of a breach of promise?" |
20916 | Mother,said he,"have I an uncle?" |
20916 | My daughter,said he to the princess,"where are the musicians whom I hear? |
20916 | My dear lord,cried she,"do I not deceive myself; is it certain that I hear you, and that you speak to me?" |
20916 | My good mother,replied the Princess Periezade,"what are those? |
20916 | My lovely black,resumed the queen,"what do you mean by the root?" |
20916 | O my son,cried the sultan,"is it possible that you are restored to me? |
20916 | One of them said to the other,''Is not the queen wrong, not to love so amiable a prince?'' 20916 Princes,"cried he,"is it you whom I behold? |
20916 | Sir,said Codadad,"give me leave to ask how you could know the adventure of the castle? |
20916 | Sister,said Prince Bahman,"what is become of all your mirth and gaiety? |
20916 | That is strange,said the fisherman,"are you resolved to reward good with evil? |
20916 | Unhappy woman,said the sultan,"art thou worthy that I should answer thee?" |
20916 | Vizier,replied the sultan,"why will you have it to be enchantment? |
20916 | Well, Aladdin,replied the magician,"what business do you follow? |
20916 | Well, brother,said she, with impatience,"what news do you bring me of my husband? |
20916 | Well, daughter,said he,"are you in a better humour than yesterday?" |
20916 | Well, giggler,said the princess,"will you tell me what you laugh at?" |
20916 | Well, vizier,said he aloud,"who do you think it can be that has sent me so extraordinary a present? |
20916 | Well,continued the sultan,"what sayest thou to such a present? |
20916 | Well,said Baba Mustapha, which was his name, and who was a merry old fellow, looking at the gold,"this is good hansel: what must I do for it? |
20916 | Well,said the emperor,"have you spoken to your sister, and has she consented to the pleasure I expect of seeing you?" |
20916 | Well,said the enchantress,"to pacify you, I am ready to execute your commands; would you have me restore him?" |
20916 | Well,said the sultan,"have you seen Aladdin''s palace?" |
20916 | What calamity hath befallen you? |
20916 | What can be the meaning of this mark? |
20916 | What could you sew up a dead body for? 20916 What do I hear?" |
20916 | What do you here, my dear brothers? |
20916 | What motive can hinder you? |
20916 | What novelty is this? |
20916 | What wouldst thou have? |
20916 | Where are you, my brave lads,cried he,"old companions of my watchings, inroads, and labour? |
20916 | Where,said she,"can he get so many large gold trays, and such precious stones to fill them? |
20916 | Who is this difficult man,said she,"who eats no salt with his meat? |
20916 | ''But tell me,''replied he,''can you shoot with a bow?'' |
20916 | ''But, sir,''said I,''may I presume to ask your Majesty, if strangers be obliged to observe this law?'' |
20916 | ''Captain,''said I,''was the merchant''s name, to whom those bales belonged, Sinbad?'' |
20916 | ''Those negroes,''replied they,''eat men, and by what miracle did you escape their cruelty?'' |
20916 | ''What do you mean, Sinbad?'' |
20916 | ''You believe him, then, to be dead?'' |
20916 | After the proof we have had of his riches, can we think it strange that he should raise a palace in so short a time? |
20916 | Aladdin got up trembling, and with tears in his eyes, said to the magician:"What have I done, uncle, to be treated in this severe manner?" |
20916 | Aladdin''s mother asked the oil- merchant what was the meaning of all this preparation of public festivity? |
20916 | Aladdin, who had never been so far before, began to find himself much tired, and said to the magician:"Where are we going, uncle? |
20916 | And if I could, can I undertake it without exposing so much gold and treasure to him who hath already enriched himself out of it? |
20916 | And ought I not to bestow her on one who values her at so great price?" |
20916 | And the sheikh said:"Are there in this place any of the efreets confined in bottles of brass from the time of Solomon?" |
20916 | And thereupon, Talib, the son of Sahl, said to the Emeer Moosa:"O Emeer, shall we leave this damsel with the things that are upon her? |
20916 | And they replied:''O great King, can Solomon do aught unto thee, when thou art in the midst of this vast sea? |
20916 | And what have I done to deserve one so wretched?" |
20916 | Are they under ground, or invisible in the air? |
20916 | Are you all here alive? |
20916 | Are you allied by blood or love?'' |
20916 | Are you not well? |
20916 | Are you of any trade?" |
20916 | Are you resolved to let me die without affording me the comfort of hearing your voice?" |
20916 | As he expected what had happened at Ali Baba''s might make a great noise, he asked his host what news there was in the city? |
20916 | At that summons the genie appeared, and said:"What wouldst thou have? |
20916 | But do you think it an easy matter absolutely to refuse the emperor what he seems so earnestly to desire? |
20916 | But do you think you have merited the honour you would have me ask? |
20916 | But the emeer replied:"Heardest thou not that which the damsel hath given as a charge, in the inscription upon this tablet? |
20916 | But to come to what most particularly concerns me: tell me, I conjure you, how so wicked and perfidious a man treats you?" |
20916 | But what presents have you to make? |
20916 | But who,''added he, looking upon the sultan, my husband,''is that man? |
20916 | Can I believe these are your brothers who have treated you so unmercifully, those brothers whom thy valour had saved? |
20916 | Can not these inspire you with joy and make you forget the fancies of a dream?" |
20916 | Codadad, my dear Codadad,"cried she,"is it you whom I behold just departing this life? |
20916 | Did I not just now set you at liberty, and have you already forgotten my services?" |
20916 | Do not you hear the trumpets of congratulation, and concerts of the finest music? |
20916 | Do not you think, mother, that what I brought home with me the day on which I was delivered from death may be an acceptable present? |
20916 | Do you know what she wants?" |
20916 | Do you not know it? |
20916 | Do you not think the first person I should speak to would take me for a mad woman, and chastise me as I should deserve? |
20916 | Do you think him worthy of the Princess Badroulboudour, my daughter?" |
20916 | Hast thou then a wish to accomplish the affair of the Prince of the Faithful?" |
20916 | Have any of my brothers, repenting, owned it to you?" |
20916 | Have you any other commands?" |
20916 | Have you not been an eye- witness of what it has procured us? |
20916 | He advanced toward the pan, and touching one of the fish with his staff, said, with a terrible voice:"Fish, are you in your duty?" |
20916 | He could not check his anger:"Indiscreet stranger,"said he to Codadad,"why did you let my sons go without bearing them company? |
20916 | He sent for the fisherman, and when he came, said to him:"Fisherman, the fish you have brought us make me very uneasy; where did you catch them?" |
20916 | How came that vile genie to address himself to me, and not to you, to whom he had appeared before in the cave?" |
20916 | How can I open my mouth to make the proposal to the sultan? |
20916 | How could so extraordinary a thought come into your head, as that I should go to the sultan and ask him to give his daughter in marriage to you? |
20916 | How then can she return the salutation?" |
20916 | How then could my heart be happy to quit thee, and to depart from thee? |
20916 | How then shall the affair be?" |
20916 | In what province, country, or part of the world, shall I find that and my dear princess? |
20916 | Is it from insensibility, or contempt? |
20916 | Is it not reasonable that, after all this, I should enjoy a quiet and pleasant life?" |
20916 | Is it not worthy of the princess, my daughter? |
20916 | Is it possible that he does not perceive it?'' |
20916 | Is it possible that thou dost not believe me after the solemn oath I have taken?" |
20916 | Madam,"added he, addressing himself to the princess of Deryabar,"do you also forgive me for having concealed my birth from you? |
20916 | May I flatter myself that it is in my power to restore you to the sultan your father, who is inconsolable for the loss of you? |
20916 | Must I spend my life in sloth, when all my brothers have the happiness to be fighting by his side?" |
20916 | Must he go again to that subterranean abode and gather them off the trees? |
20916 | Ought you to treat your mother after this manner? |
20916 | Pray tell us your history, for it must be extraordinary; how did you venture yourself into this river, and whence did you come?'' |
20916 | Remember, too, that he would eat no salt with you; and what would you have more to persuade you of his wicked design? |
20916 | She replied:"O my master, is the recompense of beneficence aught but beneficence? |
20916 | She was in as great amazement at what her son told her, as at the appearance of the genie; and said to him:"But, son, what have we to do with genies? |
20916 | So the Emeer Moosa said:"O Sheikh Abd- Es- Samad, what are these people?" |
20916 | So the emeer said to him:"What hast thou seen, O Sheikh?" |
20916 | So the king said to him:"What dost thou desire, O Saleh?" |
20916 | Some said:"Where is that fool going? |
20916 | Suppose I had the impudence to present myself before the sultan, to whom should I address myself to be introduced to his majesty? |
20916 | The Vizier Talib, however, said:"And on account of these words wilt thou leave these riches and these jewels, when she is dead? |
20916 | The apothecary inquired who was ill at her master''s? |
20916 | The emeer said to him:"How long a period doth it require?" |
20916 | The fisherman, when he heard these words of the genie, recovered his courage and said to him:"Thou proud spirit, what is it you say? |
20916 | The genie helped him to dress, and when he had done, transported him back to his own chamber, where he asked him if he had any other commands? |
20916 | The sultan, being much surprised, sent immediately for the fisherman, and said to him:"Friend, can not you bring me four more such fish?" |
20916 | The sultan, growing impatient, demanded of him again:"Where is your palace, and what is become of my daughter?" |
20916 | Then he said to his viziers:''What say ye respecting the affair of Solomon? |
20916 | Then he said to them:"How will you carry away your goods? |
20916 | Then the king of the blacks said to the emeer:"Are ye of mankind, or of the genies?" |
20916 | There, possessed by his despair, he said to himself:"Where shall I seek my palace? |
20916 | Unfortunate Codadad, why did you leave me?" |
20916 | Was it a reason sufficient for him not to cast his eyes on you, because she was somewhat younger? |
20916 | What can I do without you? |
20916 | What could Cassim''s widow do better than accept of this proposal? |
20916 | What craft can sail those perilous seas like the book that has been called a great three- decker to carry tired people to Islands of the Blest? |
20916 | What distance is there between us and it?" |
20916 | What has he done to obtain a lot so agreeable? |
20916 | What have you done to claim such a favour, either for your prince or country? |
20916 | What impudence is this? |
20916 | What name do you call it by?" |
20916 | What relation does he bear to you? |
20916 | What say you, my lads?" |
20916 | What then should she do with these things, which are the ornaments of the world, and the decoration of the living? |
20916 | What would he have? |
20916 | When he came to the door, he said:"Go in; you ought to know whereabouts your palace stood: look round and tell me what is become of it?" |
20916 | When shall I enlist so gallant a troop again? |
20916 | When they were gone, Codadad, directing his discourse to the lady, said:"What place, madam, do you desire to go to? |
20916 | Where are they who enjoy quietly the happiness which they hold of her, and whose day is always clear and serene?" |
20916 | Where has that poor wretch got all this wealth?" |
20916 | Where is he going? |
20916 | Who knows what dangers you and I may be exposed to, which neither of us can foresee, and from which it may deliver us?" |
20916 | Who knows whether I shall ever see you again? |
20916 | Why does he not call me to his assistance? |
20916 | Why should you now doubt of the truth of what the holy woman told you? |
20916 | Why, who are you, son,"continued she,"that you can have the assurance to think of your sultan''s daughter? |
20916 | Will not this step be injurious to that friendship?" |
20916 | You believed he was my uncle, as well as I; and what other thoughts could we entertain of a man who was so kind to me? |
20916 | and what proportion could they bear to the favour you would ask? |
20916 | and where will he get so many such slaves as the sultan requires? |
20916 | child,"said she,"what are you thinking of? |
20916 | cried the genie,"if you have a mind to be informed, open the vessel: do you think that I can be in a humour to relate stories in so strait a prison? |
20916 | cried the mother,"was your lamp then the occasion of that cursed genie''s addressing himself rather to me than to you? |
20916 | exclaimed Ali Baba,"what have you done to ruin me and my family?" |
20916 | he exclaimed,''whom can we trust in these times? |
20916 | my lord,"replied the young man,"how is it possible but I should grieve, and my eyes be inexhaustible fountains of tears?" |
20916 | my son,"cried the African magician with a sigh,"how can I forbear? |
20916 | or has some misfortune befallen you? |
20916 | replied he,"you would have me do something against my conscience or against my honour?" |
20916 | replied he,''how do you think I should obtain the favour you wish me? |
20916 | replied the fisherman,"why should you kill me? |
20916 | replied the prince;"and what difficulties do you find in so doing?" |
20916 | replied the queen,"why do you reproach me thus?" |
20916 | replied the sultan;"who can have that audacity?" |
20916 | said Ali Baba,"what is it you show me? |
20916 | said Codadad;"whence come these miserable lamentations, which pierce my ears?" |
20916 | said he;"and with what design were these cucumbers stuffed thus with pearls, since pearls are not to be eaten?" |
20916 | said she, addressing herself to the sultan, conceiving him to be the black,"My sun, my life, will you always be silent? |
20916 | said she,"has Ali Baba gold so plentiful as to measure it? |
20916 | said she,"what will become of me? |
20916 | said the first,''how should he? |
20916 | what are they, madam?'' |
20916 | which has condemned me to lead a life of calamities, if you will not permit me to have a consort, why did you permit me to find one? |
20916 | why dost thou not swallow up that monster so revolting to human nature, or rather why dost thou not swallow up this pair of monsters?'' |
5667 | Ah, why didst thou act thus, leave me in such affliction, and plunge thyself into such distress, which, indeed, thy conduct hath almost deserved? |
5667 | And pray what have you brought? |
5667 | And what stratagem is it you would employ? |
5667 | And where is he now? |
5667 | Art thou from Cairo? |
5667 | Art thou the destroyer of the monster? |
5667 | But how earnest thou here? |
5667 | But they who will attack you are not to be seen,replied the dervish;"how will you defend yourself against invisible persons?" |
5667 | By no means,said Mazin;"canst thou point me out the way to it without making me forfeit my integrity? |
5667 | Canst thou admit us to thy lodging,rejoined the sultan,"that we may see her?" |
5667 | Canst thou doubt it? |
5667 | Do you see that mountain? |
5667 | Father,replied the sultan,"what occasion is there that I should learn a mean occupation, when I have the wealth of a kingdom at my command?" |
5667 | From whence? |
5667 | Hath not a prophet come unto you of your own nation? 5667 Heaven protect us,"said the cauzee,"how can men of our gravity dance? |
5667 | How am I,said he,"to pass this sea, and enter the islands?" |
5667 | How can you do that,replied the sultan,"when the other evening you could not prevent your guest escaping, though you had him by the nose?" |
5667 | How comes it,rejoined the sovereign,"that you have not visited the sultan? |
5667 | How should the sultan hear us? |
5667 | I wish it may be so,replied the sultan;"but upon what ground do you build an expectation, the gratification of which appears to me so improbable?" |
5667 | Inform me,replied the sultan,"of whom am I the son?" |
5667 | Inform me,said Mazin,"what is the name of this country?" |
5667 | Is it possible? |
5667 | It is true he is our sovereign,exclaimed the youngest sister,"but how can he know whether we are starving or in affluence?" |
5667 | Light of my eyes,said the husband,"didst thou meet with any thing amusing to- day in thy visit to the bath? |
5667 | My daughter,said he to the princess,"where are the musicians whom I hear? |
5667 | My dear friend,replied Abou Neeut,"why should we travel? |
5667 | My good mother,replied the princess Perie- zadeh,"what are those? |
5667 | My son,said the sage,"why shouldst thou do so? |
5667 | No, by Allah, most liberal host,replied the other;"but who art thou?" |
5667 | On what account? |
5667 | On what account? |
5667 | Sister,said prince Bahman,"what is become of all your mirth and gaiety? |
5667 | Tell me how I can reward thee? |
5667 | That is true,replied I;"but in the name of Allah, from whence dost thou come?" |
5667 | True,said the old man of Hijjem,"yet if Providence puts affluence and distinction in our way, should we refuse it?" |
5667 | Upon what dost thou travel? |
5667 | Well, my son,said the Hijjemmee,"art thou now convinced of my skill, and my sincerity in offering to promote thy fortunes?" |
5667 | Well, prince Ahmed,said she,"will you pledge your faith to me, as I do mine to you?" |
5667 | Well,said the emperor,"have you spoken to your sister? |
5667 | What are your professions? |
5667 | What can I do more fortunate for myself, or with greater pleasure? 5667 What can that be?" |
5667 | What can that blemish be? |
5667 | What do you here, my dear brothers? |
5667 | What dost thou mean to ask him? |
5667 | What good,said he,"will my death do you or your employers? |
5667 | What is that? |
5667 | What more pressing business,said prince Perviz,"can we have than to be informed of what concerns us so much? |
5667 | What motive can hinder you? |
5667 | What novelty is this? |
5667 | What was the cause of your flight? |
5667 | Where art thou going? |
5667 | Wherefore? |
5667 | Why askest thou? |
5667 | Woe to thee, rash boy,exclaimed Hyjauje;"who is he that can prevent my executing thee instantly?" |
5667 | Abou Neeut having retired with him into a closet, said,"Knowest them me not, my old friend?" |
5667 | After concerting among themselves, one of them coming up, said,"My lad, dost thou mean to sell this she- goat?" |
5667 | Ali, who had arrived some time before Ahmed, asked Houssain how long he had been there? |
5667 | And can it be supposed she will let it go unrevenged? |
5667 | And has she consented to the pleasure I expect of seeing you?" |
5667 | Are not the proofs I have repeatedly given you of my affection sufficient?" |
5667 | Are they under ground, or invisible in the air? |
5667 | Are ye not, however, fearful lest the sultan should hear you on his rounds, and punish you for an infringement of the laws?" |
5667 | Are you not well? |
5667 | At length Abou Neeut exclaimed,"Dost thou not recollect me, my brother?" |
5667 | At this instant the sultan, who had been listening, entered hastily, and exclaimed,"Wherefore utter ye these affronting speeches?" |
5667 | But do you think it an easy matter absolutely to refuse the emperor what he seems so earnestly to desire? |
5667 | But may I, without being guilty of rudeness, presume to inquire by what adventure you know me? |
5667 | But whence comest thou, youth? |
5667 | By thy art and skill canst thou tell me what is become of him? |
5667 | Do not you remember that you came to fetch the speaking bird, the singing tree, and the yellow water? |
5667 | Do not you remember the promise you made to pay your duty to him occasionally? |
5667 | Do they think it will be so easy to surprise, seize, and secure their persons? |
5667 | H. By what means? |
5667 | H. Dost thou guard the Koran? |
5667 | H. Hast thou read and understood it? |
5667 | H. Knowest thou thy God? |
5667 | H. Thou hast spoken justly, young man; but inform me what God hath daily and nightly commanded us as obligatory to do? |
5667 | H. Truly said; but what hath mostly dignified and enlightened Arabia? |
5667 | H. What dost thou learn from it? |
5667 | H. What to observe in each year? |
5667 | H. What to perform in the course of life? |
5667 | H. What tribe of Arabs is most famous for benevolence, and celebrated for liberality? |
5667 | H. Wherefore? |
5667 | H. Wherefore? |
5667 | H. Which of the tribes have been most disgraceful to Arabia, and most oppressive to its inhabitants? |
5667 | H. Who were the most skilful in horsemanship in all Arabia, the most valiant, and of best conduct in war? |
5667 | H. Why so? |
5667 | H. Why think you so? |
5667 | H. With whom? |
5667 | Has any body given you reason to be so melancholy? |
5667 | Hast thou not already suffered sufficiently?" |
5667 | Hast thou, indeed, young man,"said the sultan,"been at the Black Island?" |
5667 | Having finished the above prayer, Mazin turning humbly towards his accursed betrayer, said in a supplicating tone,"What hast thou done, my father? |
5667 | Having made his obeisance, the sultan returning his salute, said,"Father, what hast thou brought with thee?" |
5667 | He concealed his agitation, and said,"To whom does this necklace belong?" |
5667 | He made the customary obeisance to the governor, who returned his salute, and said,"Who art thou, boy? |
5667 | He muttered and growled, saying,"For what, my lord, hast thou summoned me here? |
5667 | He then ordered the genealogist into his presence, and said,"Dost thou think thou canst prove my descent?" |
5667 | How can I be happy or merry, while they are perhaps involved in misery?" |
5667 | How can I invite the sultan here?" |
5667 | How can the creature approach the perfection of the Almighty? |
5667 | However, the sultan knew her; and said to the labourer,"Wilt thou dispose of this damsel?" |
5667 | I am doomed to death by thy arrival here; but what, my lord, was thy object in coming?" |
5667 | I know the place well where these things are to be found: but what makes you ask me this question?" |
5667 | I returned her salute, when she sat down, and said,"Sir, have you any choice Indian cloths?" |
5667 | I said to myself,"What can mean this tent, which has a grand appearance, in so solitary a plain?" |
5667 | I was enraged, and began to abuse her, saying,"Wherefore hast thou put upon me such a stratagem?" |
5667 | I was lost in astonishment, and said to myself,"Do I dream, or am I awake?" |
5667 | I was overcome with astonishment; but said,"Of what use is all this wealth in a depopulated city? |
5667 | I wish to Heaven she had never addressed herself to me? |
5667 | If I had been capable of such unworthy apathy, what would the court and city have thought of my love, or what your majesty? |
5667 | If he be alive, where he is? |
5667 | Immediately on their knocking the youngest sister called out,"Who is at the door?" |
5667 | In short, how can we suppose that I should lay hold of a man so small, armed as he describes? |
5667 | In the middle he found a flaw, at which he was astonished, and exclaimed to the sharper,"By what means couldst thou discover the blemish?" |
5667 | Is it possible that ye have not put them to death? |
5667 | Is it possible you should have forgotten that you have pledged your faith to me, or have you ceased to love one who is so passionately fond of you? |
5667 | May not he imagine that he alone deserved her; and that your majesty, by leaving the match to be decided by chance, has done him injustice? |
5667 | Mazin now arose, unloosed his wife''s hair, and pulling off the cap, appeared before her, when she exclaimed,"From whence didst thou come?" |
5667 | My curiosity was raised; but I said within myself,"I am his guest, why should I intrude upon him by painful questions?" |
5667 | On his appearance he said,"Thou canst trace the descent of man?" |
5667 | On his coming to the mouth of the cave, the sultan addressed him, saying,"Whence comest thou, where art thou going, and what dost thou carry?" |
5667 | On his recovery he turned to the vizier, and said,"Is it possible thou canst have spoken the truth?" |
5667 | On their appearance, he said,"What have you done in execution of the charge I gave you?" |
5667 | S. Does it fly from me, that I should guard it? |
5667 | Shall I send for him to the presence?" |
5667 | She addressed me, saying,"Young man, have you in your warehouse any female ornaments?" |
5667 | She exclaimed,"What can you want at such a late hour, and where did you lodge last night?" |
5667 | She replied,"Dost thou really love me?" |
5667 | She replied,"Is it thy wish to know who slew the monster, and to reward the courageous hero?" |
5667 | She said to him,"What disgust can I have given to you to ask me this permission? |
5667 | She took it into her hand, and examined it on all sides; after which she exclaimed,"Didst thou really purchase this on my account?" |
5667 | Some moments after, the fairy said to prince Ahmed,"Prince, there comes my brother; do you see him?" |
5667 | Some said,"Where is that fool going? |
5667 | The Hindoo, with great impudence, replied,"That she was his wife, and what had any one to do with his quarrel with her?" |
5667 | The butcher now began to be somewhat alarmed, asking me who I was, and whence I came? |
5667 | The cauzee laughed, and turning to the koord, said,"Friend, thou hast heard what has past; what further canst thou say?" |
5667 | The fisherman replied,"My dear mistress, how shall I bear the least absence from you?" |
5667 | The matron guessing that he was in fear of her, said to him,"What is thy name, what are thy wants? |
5667 | The prince no sooner heard these words than he rubbed his hand over the ring, when a good genie appearing, said,"Prince, what are thy commands?" |
5667 | The pupil, in astonishment, exclaimed,"My lord, this abode is a heap of ruins, how can I invite the sultan here, it would only disgrace us?" |
5667 | The queen, trembling with alarm, said,"What dost thou ask of me?" |
5667 | The sage exclaimed,"What have such as we to do, my son, with the daughters of sovereigns or of others? |
5667 | The sage observing his distress was afflicted at it, and at length said to the youth,"Will one look at the princess satisfy thy wishes?" |
5667 | The sultan addressed himself to the Hindoo, demanded who he was, and wherefore he ill treated the lady? |
5667 | The sultan at these words exclaimed in agony,"Have ye slain them, or do they yet live?" |
5667 | The sultan did so; when I said,"If I present two, will you give me your daughter?" |
5667 | The sultan exclaimed,"Why answer ye not, and wherefore are ye silent?" |
5667 | The sultan replied,"What reason have you for such a supposition?" |
5667 | The sultan replied,"You have indeed judged truly, but inform me how happens it, that you have with you no male protectors?" |
5667 | The sultan, after a long pause, again said to the two attendants,"Have you really put to death my innocent children with their guilty mother?" |
5667 | The sultan, eager to shew his gratitude to the gallant youth, said to the princess,"Shouldst thou know thy deliverer wert thou to see him again?" |
5667 | The sultan, upon hearing this, said to the vizier,"We must enter this house;"and knocked at the door, when a person cried out,"Who is there?" |
5667 | The tyrant laughed, and continued his questions as follows: H. Wert thou ever in love? |
5667 | Thus it happened to the persons above mentioned, but how was it with the affairs of Mazin? |
5667 | Upon entering into her presence, Zobeide exclaimed,"Where have ye loitered, and what has been the cause of your unusually long stay at the hummaum?" |
5667 | Upon this I replied,"My dear lady, how can I allot for you a proper dowry?" |
5667 | Upon this Mazin exclaimed,"Wherefore, my lord, did you look at the book and then at me so earnestly?" |
5667 | Upon this she frowned angrily upon me, and exclaimed,"What means that wound upon thy cheek?" |
5667 | Upon this the young Syed said,"Thou ravest, O Hyjauje; who art thou that an angel should be commissioned for thy sake?" |
5667 | Upon which the sultan exclaimed,"What fault appeared to thee in my mistress?" |
5667 | Was it a reason sufficient for him not to cast his eyes on you, because she was somewhat younger? |
5667 | We have at present all we want, and what can riches give more?" |
5667 | What name do you call it by?" |
5667 | When I had heard these words, I replied,"How, dear lady, dare I presume, who am not worthy to be your servant, to arrive at such an honour?" |
5667 | When he appeared, the sultan said,"Art thou a judge of horses?" |
5667 | When he beheld them he was struck with awe and dread; but recovering, he said to himself,"Why should I be afraid? |
5667 | When he had finished his communication, I said,"But where is the abode of thy beloved and thy successful rival?" |
5667 | When he had reached the palace he found the sultan expecting him; upon which he made his obeisance, and said,"Will my lord honour me by his company?" |
5667 | When he had ruminated thus, he said,"I am acquainted with the properties of the cap, what are those of the drum?" |
5667 | When she had rested a little, she said,"Were you not conversing about your unfortunate sister? |
5667 | When the master of the colt appeared before him, the sultan inquired whether it was purchased of another person, or had been bred by himself? |
5667 | When the sultan had entered the princess''s apartment, he said,"What can have happened which has occasioned you to send for me so suddenly?" |
5667 | When they had rested a little, the fisherman perceiving the sultan, said,"Whence comest thou?" |
5667 | Where could such a form as this have been created?" |
5667 | Who ever saw it rain any thing but water?" |
5667 | Who knows whether I shall ever see you again? |
5667 | Why should you now doubt of the truth of what the holy woman told you? |
5667 | Will not this step be injurious to that friendship?" |
5667 | Will you permit me to visit her and look after my warehouse?" |
5667 | added she,"is this the return you have made for the kind reception I gave you? |
5667 | and did not you see, as you came along, the place covered with black stones? |
5667 | and how can I be a sultan without subjects?" |
5667 | and how you who live in the same neighbourhood should be so little known by me?" |
5667 | and if I may hope ever to see him again?" |
5667 | and is it thus thou hast estranged from me my beloved wife and innocent children?" |
5667 | and that she invented them on purpose to deceive you, who had given her no cause to do so, but received her with so much goodness and civility? |
5667 | art thou of this country? |
5667 | but can ye reverse the decrees of God?" |
5667 | can you favour me with a dance?" |
5667 | didst thou not promise me enjoyment and pleasure?" |
5667 | do you think she spoke to you of three things that were not in being? |
5667 | exclaimed the walee,"dost thou dare to utter falsehoods before me? |
5667 | has that accursed wretch betrayed thee, and torn thee from thy wife?" |
5667 | have we not here affluence and ease, and what more can we enjoy in any part of the world?" |
5667 | how could a buffalo bring forth a colt?" |
5667 | my queen,"replied prince Ahmed,"do you say Schaibar is your brother? |
5667 | or give him reason to flatter himself a moment with being allied to one of the most powerful monarchs in the world? |
5667 | or has some misfortune befallen you? |
5667 | prince,"cried she,"do you think I jest with you? |
5667 | princess, what do I say? |
5667 | replied the prince;"and what difficulties do you find in so doing?" |
5667 | said he to himself,"has my fate brought me hither to deprive me of my liberty, which hitherto I have always preserved? |
5667 | said he"and with what design were these cucumbers stuffed thus with pearls, since pearls are not to be eaten?" |
5667 | said the boy? |
5667 | said the father,"is it not enough that I have lost them, but thou also wilt rush into destruction? |
5667 | shall I be your partner and you mine?" |
5667 | shall I tear up this eminence by the roots, and hurl it beyond the mountains of Kaaf?" |
5667 | what arms can I use to reduce him to submission? |
5667 | what hast thou to say, and wherefore hast thou intruded thyself into the company of princes, as if thou wert invited? |
5667 | what he is doing? |
5667 | what would he have? |
5667 | when the old woman entered; to whom she said,"Hast thou brought the young man?" |
5667 | where can ye hide yourselves?" |
5667 | where is he going? |
5667 | who art thou, and of whom art thou the son?" |
5667 | who will say to an unhappy Bulbul, Lodge?" |
5666 | Abdallah,( so was the old man named) said she to him,"tell me, I beseech thee, does that beautiful and charming slave belong to thee? |
5666 | Almost two- and- twenty years,replied Mobarec;"but how can you convince me that you are his son?" |
5666 | Am I awake, or do I sleep? |
5666 | And what may that reason be, sir,replied Ali Baba,"if I may be so bold as to ask you?" |
5666 | And what more is there? |
5666 | And what,added she, addressing herself to her treasurer,"did I order you to give her?" |
5666 | Are all my sons,demanded he,"in the tower?" |
5666 | Are you olive- merchants? |
5666 | But, my lord,said he,"suppose I should be so fortunate as to meet with such a maid as you require, how shall I know that I have found her?" |
5666 | But,answered the caliph,"do you know one thing? |
5666 | Child,said she,"to whom are we obliged for this great plenty and liberality? |
5666 | Do not lie now,said he,"but tell me truly who I am?" |
5666 | Father,said she,"will you not oblige me so far as to make me a present of this young man? |
5666 | Friend Ali Khaujeh,said he,"when you brought your jar to me did I touch it? |
5666 | From whence come you? |
5666 | Good woman,said he,"do you not perceive I have bantered you all this while? |
5666 | Have you forgotten already what we agreed on? 5666 Ho, brother Abou Hassan,"said he,"is it you? |
5666 | How can we,answered Zeyn,"when we have no boat?" |
5666 | How long is it since you left my father''s court? |
5666 | How many of these pieces,added he,"have you? |
5666 | How, brother? |
5666 | If it be so,answered the cauzee,"look into that jar, and tell me how long it is since those olives were put into it?" |
5666 | Is the question at present,replied Zobeide,"if your garden is more valuable than my palace? |
5666 | It is true,said I to her,"we live but poorly; but what have the rich which we have not? |
5666 | Mesrour,said he, to the eunuch,"what do you think of the princess''s discourse? |
5666 | Mother,replied he,"how do you know the sultan has been guilty of a breach of promise?" |
5666 | Mother,said he,"have I an uncle?" |
5666 | My brave boys,said the vizier,"which of you was the cauzee when you played together last night?" |
5666 | My dear husband, what have you done? |
5666 | My good mother,said the princess,"what bird is a roe, and where may one get an egg?" |
5666 | My son,said she to him,"would you go into Egypt on the faith of an illusive dream?" |
5666 | No indeed,said the wife,"I have not been there; that was too far off, and if I had gone, do you think I should have found any? |
5666 | Princes,cried he,"am I not deceived? |
5666 | Sir,said Codadad,"give me leave to ask how you could know the adventure of the castle? |
5666 | Sir,said the old man, stopping him,"may I presume to ask from what part of the world you come?" |
5666 | Sire,cried his friends, the moment he joined them,"who has insulted you? |
5666 | That sovereign,said Mobarec,"was formerly my master; but, my lord, I never knew of any children he had: what is your age?" |
5666 | The sorceress,said some,"has got a new subject to exercise her wickedness upon; will heaven never deliver the world from her tyranny?" |
5666 | Vizier,replied the sultan,"why will you have it to be enchantment? |
5666 | Well daughter,said he,"are you in a better humour than yesterday?" |
5666 | Well, Alla ad Deen,replied the magician,"what business do you follow? |
5666 | Well, I suppose,said the caliph,"you wish to have a stop put to this disorder?" |
5666 | Well, brother,said she, with great impatience,"what news do you bring me of my husband? |
5666 | Well, giggler,said the princess,"will you tell me what you laugh at?" |
5666 | Well, mother,said he,"may I entertain any hopes, or must I die with despair?" |
5666 | Well, my son,said she, wiping her tears,"how do you do, and how do you find yourself? |
5666 | Well, then, sorry slave,said Zobeide to Mesrour, in passion,"what have you to say to all this? |
5666 | Well, vizier,said he aloud,"who do you think it can be that has sent me so extraordinary a present, and neither of us know? |
5666 | Well,continued the sultan,"what sayst thou to such a present? |
5666 | Well,said the sultan,: have you seen Alla ad Deen''s palace?" |
5666 | What assurance do you require? |
5666 | What can be the meaning of this mark? |
5666 | What could you sew up a dead body for? 5666 What do I hear?" |
5666 | What is that bit of lead worth,said he,"a farthing? |
5666 | What is that, good mother? |
5666 | What is the matter with you, son? |
5666 | What would you do if you were? |
5666 | What would you have me do with it? |
5666 | What wouldst thou have me to do with him,answered the citizen,"but roast and eat him?" |
5666 | What wouldst thou have? |
5666 | What, Abou Hassan,said he, continuing to laugh aloud,"hast thou conspired against my life, to kill me a second time with laughing? |
5666 | Where are you, my brave lads,cried he,"old companions of my watchings, inroads, and labour? |
5666 | Where is she? |
5666 | Where,says she,"can he get so many large gold trays, and such precious stones to fill them? |
5666 | Who is this difficult man,said she,"who eats no salt with his meat? |
5666 | Why are you so altered, so dejected, and so different from yourself? 5666 Why not, madam,"answered Zeyn,"do you imagine all dreams are chimerical? |
5666 | Why should I not give so much? |
5666 | Why you,answered his mother very mildly;"are not you Abou Hassan my son? |
5666 | Why, are we not at Grand Cairo? |
5666 | You are in the right,answered the prince;"but how shall we explore where they are?" |
5666 | You are skilled then in physiognomy? |
5666 | Abou Hassan continued to beat her, at every stroke asking her if he was the commander of the faithful? |
5666 | Accordingly, he set out again for his kingdom, and as soon as he arrived there, the queen asked him, whether he returned well pleased? |
5666 | After several compliments had passed on both sides, Boubekir said to the prince,"Sir, do you design to stay long at Bagdad?" |
5666 | After the proof we have had of his riches, can we think it strange, that he should raise a palace in so short a time? |
5666 | Ali Khaujeh,"said he, addressing himself to the boy who acted that part,"have you brought the jar?" |
5666 | Alla ad Deen got up trembling, and with tears in his eyes, said to the magician,"What have I done, uncle, to be treated in this severe manner?" |
5666 | Am I come to the court of Harran to be the occasion of giving the sultan so much anxiety?" |
5666 | And if I could, can I undertake it without exposing so much gold and treasure to him who hath already enriched himself out of it? |
5666 | And if you had any that were worthy of the least attention of so great a monarch, what proportion could they bear to the favour you would ask? |
5666 | And ought I not to bestow her on one who values her at so great price?" |
5666 | And who your nephew? |
5666 | And will you not own that you have lost your wager?" |
5666 | Are you all here alive? |
5666 | Are you allied by blood or love?" |
5666 | Are you fallen into the hands of our enemies? |
5666 | Are you of any trade?" |
5666 | Are you worthy of it? |
5666 | As for her beauty, I can depend on you; but what assurance can you give me in relation to her virtue?" |
5666 | As he expected what had happened at Ali Baba''s might make a great noise, he asked his host what news there was in the city? |
5666 | As soon as he was come into the market, a citizen stops him, and asked how much he would have for his bird? |
5666 | As soon as she saw the surgeon, she asked him eagerly, what news he had to tell her of Codadad? |
5666 | At last he got up, opened the lattice, and putting out his head, cried"Abou Hassan, Abou Hassan, have you a mind to kill me with laughing?" |
5666 | At that summons the genie appeared, and said,"What wouldst thou have? |
5666 | But how can you speak to me if you are dumb? |
5666 | But if I should make you a present of a purse of two hundred pieces of gold, would not you make a good use of it? |
5666 | But is that your case? |
5666 | But now I am speaking of the palace, pray how do you like it? |
5666 | But to come to what most particularly concerns me; tell me, I conjure you, how so wicked and perfidious a man treats you?" |
5666 | But what presents have you to make? |
5666 | But where will he get so many such slaves as the sultan requires? |
5666 | But who,"added he, looking upon the sultan my husband,"is that man? |
5666 | But will he not have some one to lament? |
5666 | But, madam,"continued he,"let us drop this discourse; and since I have eaten of your cake, would you do me the favour to taste mine?" |
5666 | Can I believe these are your brothers who have treated you so unmercifully, those brothers whom thy valour had saved? |
5666 | Can not these inspire you with joy and pleasure, and make you forget the fancies of an imagination disturbed by what can have been only a dream?" |
5666 | Codadad, my dear Codadad,"cried she,"is it you whom I behold just departing this life? |
5666 | Could I guess that a sandman should come by that very day, my wife have no money, and would make such an exchange? |
5666 | Could you conceive a thought of aspiring in marriage to a princess, the daughter of so powerful a monarch as myself? |
5666 | Did ever a son so well brought up as you dare to strike his mother? |
5666 | Did you ever tell me that such a sum was in the jar? |
5666 | Do not we breathe the same air, enjoy the same light and the same warmth of the sun? |
5666 | Do not women sometimes lose their senses; for you have heard and seen all as well as myself?" |
5666 | Do not you hear the trumpets of congratulation, and concerts of the finest music? |
5666 | Do not you think with me, that it would be complete if a roe''s egg were hung up in the midst of the dome?" |
5666 | Do you know what she wants?" |
5666 | Do you mourn for your country, your friends or your relations? |
5666 | Do you not know it? |
5666 | Do you not know that â � � walls have ears?''" |
5666 | Do you not remember the evening we spent together at your house this day month, where you did me the honour to treat me very generously?" |
5666 | Do you not think the first person I should speak to would take me for a mad woman, and chastise me as I should deserve? |
5666 | Do you think him worthy of the princess Buddir al Buddoor, my daughter?" |
5666 | Do you think you have merited the honour you would have me ask for you? |
5666 | Give me leave to embrace you?" |
5666 | God confound thee, Satan? |
5666 | Has the sultan been made acquainted with our poverty, and had compassion on us?" |
5666 | Have I not always preferred your will to my own? |
5666 | Have any of my brothers, repenting, owned it to you?" |
5666 | Have not you been an eye- witness of what it has procured us? |
5666 | Have you any other commands?" |
5666 | Have you renounced all those whims and fancies which the devil had put into your head?" |
5666 | He asked Morgiana, who opened the door, and had let all things stand as they were, that he might see them, the reason of it? |
5666 | He asked the princess where Codadad''s widow had taken up her lodging? |
5666 | He clapped his hands before his eyes, and lowering his head, said to himself,"What means all this? |
5666 | He could not check his anger:"Indiscreet stranger,"said he to Codadad,"why did you let my sons go without bearing them company? |
5666 | Her sister- in- law asked her, whether she would have a great or a small one? |
5666 | How came that vile genie to address himself to me, and not to you, to whom he had appeared before in the cave?" |
5666 | How came this thought into your head, to surprise Zobeide and me thus, when we least thought of such a trick?" |
5666 | How can I doubt, since you still torment me with silence, after having for a whole year in vain supplicated you to speak? |
5666 | How can I open my mouth to make the proposal to the sultan? |
5666 | How do we know but that this unknown person is some villain, who has committed a robbery in his own country, and comes hither to enjoy himself? |
5666 | How have you distinguished yourself? |
5666 | I desire you only to tell me what he has done with the lamp, and where he has put it?" |
5666 | I had best return to Bussorah; what should I do here any longer? |
5666 | I had just embraced him and bade him adieu; but as I turned about from him, I said,"What will you do with that little box of ointment? |
5666 | I immediately jumped on the counter, and the baker throwing the money down before me, said,"See, and tell me which of these pieces is bad?" |
5666 | I separated it presently from the others, and setting my paw upon it, looked in the woman''s face, as much as to say,"Is it not so?" |
5666 | I took the oil- pot, went directly to the jar which stood nearest to me; and when I came to it, heard a voice within, saying, â � � Is it time?'' |
5666 | If you have done nothing to merit so high a distinction, nor are worthy of it, with what face shall I ask it? |
5666 | In what province, country, or part of the world, shall I find that and my dear princess, whom the sultan expects from me? |
5666 | Instead of answering, the peasant demanded of the citizen what he would do with him in case he should buy him? |
5666 | Is it me you call by that name?" |
5666 | Is it not worthy of the princess my daughter? |
5666 | Is it thus you discharge the trust I have reposed in you? |
5666 | Is it you whom I behold? |
5666 | Is not the king of Persia, who loves and adores you, capable of comforting you, and making you amends for every loss?" |
5666 | Is not your majesty the commander of the faithful, monarch of the world from east to west, and vicar on earth to the prophet sent of God? |
5666 | Is there anything you wish for? |
5666 | King Beder and the old man left off discoursing, to look at the old woman, whom the king asked, what cause she had to be so much afflicted? |
5666 | King Beder satisfied him in a few words; and the old man farther asked him if he had met anybody on the road? |
5666 | Look round you, prince; can there be a more delightful spot? |
5666 | Madam,"added he, addressing himself to the Princess of Deryabar,"do you also forgive me for having concealed my birth from you? |
5666 | May I flatter myself that it may be in my power to restore you to the sultan your father, who is inconsolable for the loss of you? |
5666 | Must I spend my life in sloth, when all my brothers have the happiness to be fighting by his side?" |
5666 | Must he go again to that subterraneous abode, the entrance into which is stopped up, and gather them off the trees? |
5666 | Ought you to treat your mother after this manner? |
5666 | Remember, too, that he would eat no salt with you; and what would you have more to persuade you of his wicked design? |
5666 | Shall we be soon in the dominions of the prince my husband?" |
5666 | She looked through a lattice and saw them, seemed frightened, and cried out,"What shall we do? |
5666 | She was in as great amazement at what her son told her, as at the appearance of the genie; and said to him,"But, son, what have we to do with genii? |
5666 | Speak, and tell me frankly, wherein I can serve you?" |
5666 | Tell me, I beseech you, where was your wit or discretion, when you formed to yourself such a chimera as you have proposed to me? |
5666 | The apothecary inquired who was ill at her master''s? |
5666 | The feigned cauzee, turning about to the merchant, then asked him why he did not return the money which Ali Khaujeh demanded of him? |
5666 | The first question he asked on his arrival was,"Where was the king his nephew?" |
5666 | The first who entered the room got between him and his mother, and taking the switch out of his hand, said to him,"What are you doing, Abou Hassan? |
5666 | The mother was alarmed when she saw the grand vizier would take her son with him, and asked, upon what account the caliph wanted him? |
5666 | The nobles of Cairo were surprised, and whispered to one another,"Who is this stranger, to whom Mobarec pays so much respect?" |
5666 | The officer going to the peasant, demanded of him how much he would have for the bird? |
5666 | The pretended cauzee then directing his discourse to the feigned Ali Khaujeh, asked him what he had to lay to that merchant''s charge? |
5666 | The sultan growing impatient, demanded of him again,"Where is your palace, and what is become of my daughter?" |
5666 | The surgeon paid her the same respect, and then asked a calender, who happened to stand by him,"Whether that lady was one of the sultan''s wives?" |
5666 | Then addressing himself to Zobeide,"Well, madam,"said he,"have you yet any thing to say against so certain a truth? |
5666 | Then he said to them,"How will you carry away your goods? |
5666 | There, possessed by his despair, he said to himself,"Where shall I seek my palace? |
5666 | Therefore what conveniences have they more than we, that we should envy their happiness? |
5666 | Was not his father a dog, and the son of a dog, like you? |
5666 | We have often asked her,"Madam, do you want anything? |
5666 | What can Hassan do with that?" |
5666 | What can I do without you? |
5666 | What could Cassim''s widow do better than accept of this proposal? |
5666 | What could hinder me from being a little moved at the pronouncing of so strange a transformation? |
5666 | What cruel hands have put you into this condition? |
5666 | What evil genius possesses you, to make you talk at this rate? |
5666 | What have vultures to do with turbans? |
5666 | What have you done to claim such a favour, either for your prince or country? |
5666 | What relation does he bear to you? |
5666 | What say you, daughter, am I deceived in my conjecture?" |
5666 | What say you, my lads?" |
5666 | What would she say of you and me? |
5666 | What would the world say to hear you rave in this manner? |
5666 | Whatever be the value of a diamond statue, is it worth the satisfaction of having you mine? |
5666 | When he came to the door, he said,"Go in; you ought to know whereabouts your palace stood: look round and tell me what is become of it?" |
5666 | When shall I enlist so gallant a troop again? |
5666 | When they both had their cups in their hands, she said to him,"I know not how you express your loves in these parts when drinking together? |
5666 | When they were gone, Codadad, directing his discourse to the lady, said,"What place, madam, do you desire to go to? |
5666 | Where am I? |
5666 | Where has that poor wretch got all this wealth? |
5666 | Where shall I find this sandman? |
5666 | Whilst he was mounting,"I forgot,"said the queen to Abdallah,"to ask you your nephew''s name; pray how is he called?" |
5666 | Whither were you bound when you were seized by the black? |
5666 | Who are you? |
5666 | Who is your sister? |
5666 | Who was that who came and spoke with me a little before the caliph entered?" |
5666 | Who was your father? |
5666 | Whom do you think now I ought to believe, you or my treasurer, my women, and myself?" |
5666 | Why did you leave me? |
5666 | Why do not you tell me which is dead, the husband or the wife?" |
5666 | Why does he leave me here so long in obscurity? |
5666 | Why does he not call me to his assistance? |
5666 | Why should I not have been attended by eunuchs, and their chief, and a crowd of beautiful ladies? |
5666 | Why should the grand vizier, and all those emirs and governors of provinces, who prostrated themselves at my feet, forsake me? |
5666 | Why, who are you, son,"continued she,"that you can have the assurance to think of your sultan''s daughter? |
5666 | Will you still believe that Nouzhatoul- aouadat is alive, and that Abou Hassan is dead? |
5666 | Will you vouchsafe to come and be merry with us?" |
5666 | Would you have him send you away with the same confusion? |
5666 | Zeyn was conducted thither, knocked at the gate, which a slave opened, and demanded,"What is it you want, and who are you?" |
5666 | and do not you believe, that with such a sum you could become soon as rich as the principal of your occupation?" |
5666 | and hast thou long been in possession of him?" |
5666 | and to whom does this palace belong? |
5666 | answered Abou Hassan, raising his voice; but looking at the lady, he said,"Is it me you call the commander of the faithful? |
5666 | answered king Beder,"how can I be tired of so many favours and graces as your majesty perpetually heaps upon me? |
5666 | answered the caliph,"do you not know me? |
5666 | are you not ashamed so to treat yours, who loves you so tenderly?" |
5666 | brother,"replied Queen Gulnare,"is not the princess yet married? |
5666 | child,"said she,"what are you thinking of? |
5666 | cried Zeyn, in astonishment,"where could my father find such rarities?" |
5666 | cried he, calling the ladies of the palace by their names, as he remembered them;"where are you? |
5666 | cried she,"what have I done that you should leave me so soon? |
5666 | cried the mother,"was your lamp then the occasion of that cursed genie addressing himself rather to me than to you?" |
5666 | cried the sultan,"is it possible that you are restored to me? |
5666 | did I say, madam? |
5666 | exclaimed Ali Baba,"what have you done to ruin me and my family?" |
5666 | exclaimed he;"whence came you, and where do those happy parents live who brought into the world so surprising a masterpiece of nature? |
5666 | have you lost all fear of God and your reason? |
5666 | how could you make so ungrateful a return for the service he has done you? |
5666 | my brothers,"said he,"what is become of you? |
5666 | my son,"cried the African magician with a sigh,"how can I forbear? |
5666 | once so beautiful, what relief can you expect from us? |
5666 | prince,"cried he,"do you call so inestimable a present a small token of your gratitude, when you never have been indebted to me? |
5666 | replied he,"you would have me do something against my conscience, or against my honour?" |
5666 | replied the sultan;"who can have that audacity?" |
5666 | said Ali Baba,"what is it you shew me? |
5666 | said Codadad:"Whence come these miserable lamentations, which pierce my ears?" |
5666 | said Mobarec:"shall we not there find beautiful maidens?" |
5666 | said he who spoke first,"do not you know your mother who brought you up, and with whom you have always lived?" |
5666 | said he, in a tone of indignation,"have not you been the cause of your wife''s death by your ill treatment of her? |
5666 | said he,"do you make a jest of me and laugh in my face, or do you believe I laugh at you when I speak seriously? |
5666 | said she,"has Ali Baba gold so plentiful as to measure it? |
5666 | said the person whom he addressed,"have you never seen or heard of her? |
5666 | sir,"replied Gulnare"could I do less? |
5666 | that thy unworthy uncle and thou repay me for all the kindnesses I have done you? |
5666 | thought he to himself, when he awoke,"how much was I mistaken? |
5666 | what can we do for thee? |
5666 | what has happened to you?" |
5666 | what will become of poor Nouzhatoul- aouadat?" |
5666 | which has condemned me to lead a life of calamities, if you will not permit me to have a consort, why did you permit me to find one? |
5666 | who is it you call son?" |
5666 | why?" |
5666 | wicked Nouzhatoul- aouadat,"cried she,"what have I suffered for your sake? |
5242 | And what is his story? |
5242 | And what is the story of King Bihkerd? |
5242 | And what is the story of the merchant and his son? |
5242 | And what is the[ cause of] discord, O my mother? |
5242 | And who is he, the Devil? |
5242 | And why wilt thou not acquaint me with thy case? |
5242 | As thou wilt,answered she;"but what thinkest thou to do?" |
5242 | Dost thou remember what he said? |
5242 | How so? |
5242 | How was that? |
5242 | Is he her father? |
5242 | My name is Miskeh,replied she, and he said to another,"What is thy name?" |
5242 | No,answered I; and she said,"Art thou for breakfast?" |
5242 | O accursed one,''said the Khalif,is this a time for laughter? |
5242 | O king,answered the young man,"how shall they testify of that which they saw not? |
5242 | O wicked viziers,answered he,"shall a man of understanding renounce hope in God the Most High? |
5242 | What is his story? |
5242 | What is it, O king? |
5242 | What is it? |
5242 | What is the story of the merchant,asked the king,"and how was his luck changed upon him by the sorriness of his fortune?" |
5242 | What sawest thou in this youth[ to make thee trust in him]? 5242 Wherefore?" |
5242 | Who is Commander of the Faithful? |
5242 | Who was Abou Sabir,asked the king,"and what is his story?" |
5242 | Whom meanest thou? |
5242 | Why so? |
5242 | Yes, O Commander of the Faithful,answered she; and he said,"What prompted thee to this?" |
5242 | [ FN#86] Quoth the Khalif to those who were present with him,Know ye what this woman meaneth by her saying?" |
5242 | [ FN#92] Then he turned to the woman and said to her,Is it not thus?" |
5242 | ''And whoso entereth the king''s house and playeth the traitor with him,''continued the king,''what behoveth unto him?'' |
5242 | ''Hath a pearl then an outward and an inward?'' |
5242 | ''How much will that be?'' |
5242 | ''How so?'' |
5242 | ''It is well,''answered the eunuch;''what is it?'' |
5242 | ''O fool,''answered she,''how shall I let thee go thy way? |
5242 | ''O king,''answered he,''what matter is graver than that which I see?'' |
5242 | ''O king,''answered they,''what is this boy and what power hath he? |
5242 | ''O my lady,''answered the old woman,''sawst thou not the madman who came hither yesterday with the old woman? |
5242 | ''Then said he to his officers,''Who is in yonder prison?'' |
5242 | ''What dost thou in this desolate place?'' |
5242 | ''What is that?'' |
5242 | ''What is that?'' |
5242 | ''What seest thou?'' |
5242 | ''What wouldst thou have?'' |
5242 | ''What[ meanest thou]?'' |
5242 | ''Who killeth the folk?'' |
5242 | ''Why didst thou not tell me?'' |
5242 | ''Yes,''answered he, and the prince said to him''What bringeth thee here?'' |
5242 | ''Yes,''answered he; and she arose and opening the door to the master of the house, said to him,''Where hast thou been? |
5242 | ?" |
5242 | ?" |
5242 | Abideth there husband for me, after the son of my uncle?'' |
5242 | After he left her, he found his camels, by her blessing, and when he returned, King Kisra asked him,''Hast thou found the camels?'' |
5242 | And En Numan said,"What is thy religion?" |
5242 | And he fell to shampooing his hands and feet, whilst the youth called down blessings on him and said,''O my lord, who art thou? |
5242 | And he said to her,''How shall we contrive in this affair?'' |
5242 | And he said,''I know not if my father be dead, and he hath none other heir but myself; and how shall I win to him, seeing I have not a dirhem?'' |
5242 | And he said,''Is King Belehwan well?'' |
5242 | And he,''What offence can be greater than this? |
5242 | And she answered him, saying,"O dotard, is thy wit like unto my wit? |
5242 | And she said,''Did I not tell thee that she resembleth me and I her, and there is nought to distinguish between us but our clothes? |
5242 | And the king said,''Why didst thou not take somewhat of that which thou sawest of jewels and the like? |
5242 | Art thou overcome with grief for[ the loss of] the treasure or[ for that which hath befallen] the eunuch?'' |
5242 | As for the man, he committed his affair to God the Most High, relying upon Him for deliverance, and said in himself,''What is this affair?'' |
5242 | At this, the king was troubled and said,''What is to do?'' |
5242 | Azadbekht knew not[ of their design] till the noise[ of the invasion] beset his capital city, when he said to his wife Behrjaur,"How shall we do?" |
5242 | But he said to her,''O woman, said I not to thee that he who doth evil shall suffer it? |
5242 | But the governor said in himself,''How shall I go to his father and say to him,"Thy son hath wasted thy money and wantoned it away"? |
5242 | But the man said to him,''How long shall I have patience?'' |
5242 | By what wickedness cometh this child here?" |
5242 | Canst thou not bring us together?'' |
5242 | Dost thou want aught?'' |
5242 | For that I will never again foregather with any''?" |
5242 | Hadst thou wrought deliberately, the false had been made manifest to thee from the true; so where was thy judgment and thy sight?" |
5242 | He opened the door and entering, saw the youth lying on the bed, whereupon he turned to his wife and said to her,"What doth this youth here? |
5242 | His hospitality pleased the Khalif and the goodliness of his fashion, and he said to him,"O youth, who art thou? |
5242 | How can it be lawful that this youth should live for a single hour?" |
5242 | How deemest thou of the affair?" |
5242 | How hast thou wasted all this wealth and now comest telling lies and saying,"The dog hath mounted on the shelf,"and talking nonsense?'' |
5242 | How long shall I delay this? |
5242 | How long shall the folk upbraid me on thine account and blame me for delaying thy slaughter? |
5242 | How many a body hath he slain, how many a bone laid bare? |
5242 | How shall I go about in quest of a wight whom I know not and whom, if I saw him face to face, I should not know?'' |
5242 | How shall he stop all the holes and deliver himself from the vipers?'' |
5242 | However, the Khalif accosted him and said to him,"O my brother, did I not say to thee that I would return to thee?" |
5242 | I conjure thee, by Allah, say, was not Aboulhusn with me but now?" |
5242 | If thou wert denied this draught, with what wouldst thou buy it?" |
5242 | Indeed, I am bewildered, and how shall I do, and I alone, forlorn? |
5242 | Is he not vile of origin, the son of thieves? |
5242 | Is it not enough that Aboulhusn is dead, but thou must kill my slave- girl also and bereave us of the two and style me little of wit?" |
5242 | Is not the treasure buried in yonder chamber?'' |
5242 | Is this of envy or no? |
5242 | It may be here observed that the word keif( how?) |
5242 | Know ye not that whoso diggeth a pit for his brother shall fall into it? |
5242 | Moreover, he gave him the ornaments of his sword; and Jerir went forth to the[ other] poets, who said to him,"What is behind thee? |
5242 | Presently, he met a friend of his, to whom he discovered his case, and the other said to him,''Art thou not ashamed to talk thus? |
5242 | Presently, there met him a man, a treasure- seeker, and said to him,''Whither goest thou, O youth?'' |
5242 | Presently, up came the overseer of the[ Sultan''s] kitchen and said,''What is this man?'' |
5242 | Quoth Aboulhusn,"By the protection of God, am I in truth Commander of the Faithful and dost thou not lie? |
5242 | Quoth Bihkerd,''Who shot that arrow?'' |
5242 | Quoth En Numan,"What prompted thee to keep faith, the case being as thou sayest?" |
5242 | Quoth Firouz''s wife,"Who is at the door?" |
5242 | Quoth Kisra,''And what is thine occasion unto this?'' |
5242 | Quoth Omar,"And who praised him?" |
5242 | Quoth Omar,"What have I to do with the poets?" |
5242 | Quoth Omar,"Who is at the door?" |
5242 | Quoth he,"Knowest thou why this befell thee and thou wast defeated?" |
5242 | Quoth he,''And what is your warning?'' |
5242 | Quoth he,''To- day?'' |
5242 | Quoth he,''What aileth thee?'' |
5242 | Quoth he,''Whence hadst thou these?'' |
5242 | Quoth she to him,''Hast thou a wish?'' |
5242 | Quoth she,"By Allah, it was ye set me on against him, and what shall I do[ now]?" |
5242 | Quoth she,''Thou sayst truly; but how shall we do with him?'' |
5242 | Quoth she,''What is it?'' |
5242 | Quoth she,''What offence have I committed?'' |
5242 | Quoth she,''What wilt thou do with me, O king, and I a woman abandoned in the desert?'' |
5242 | Quoth she,''Why dost thou thus?'' |
5242 | Quoth she,[FN#193]''What aileth thee to stand there? |
5242 | Quoth the Khalif,"And what is the cause?" |
5242 | Quoth the boys,''What is it ye would have us do?'' |
5242 | Quoth the cadi,"What sayst thou, O youth?" |
5242 | Quoth the cook,''We have experienced the old man''s just judgment; what deemeth the king of fetching him?'' |
5242 | Quoth the dealer,''Who will buy this fellow, and he a man of fourscore?'' |
5242 | Quoth the king''How knowest thou that?'' |
5242 | Quoth the king,"And what is his story?" |
5242 | Quoth the king,"Who was Bekhtzeman and what is his story?" |
5242 | Quoth the king,"Who was King Ibrahim and who was his son?" |
5242 | Quoth the king,''Dost thou call thyself a cavalier and a man of learning and deemest that victory is in abundance of troops?'' |
5242 | Quoth the prince,''What is it?'' |
5242 | Quoth the superintendant,"What aileth this youth?" |
5242 | Quoth the thief,''And what is the amount of the rent?'' |
5242 | Quoth the thief,''What is the sum of this?'' |
5242 | Quoth the vizier,''What is the weight of the elephant?'' |
5242 | Quoth they,''What proof wouldst thou have? |
5242 | She wept and answered, saying,''O king, how canst thou find it in thy heart to bespeak me thus? |
5242 | She will say to thee,''What aileth thee?'' |
5242 | So Mesrour went out, running, and the Khalif said to Zubeideh,"Wilt thou lay me a wager?" |
5242 | So he acquainted them with his history, from first to last, whereby they knew him and said to him,''Art thou[ such an one] son of such an one?'' |
5242 | So he ate thereof with all his might, till he had gotten his fill, when he called one of the slave- girls and said to her,"What is thy name?" |
5242 | So he bade bring them before him, and when they came into his presence, he questioned them, saying,''Where are the two boys ye took on such a day?'' |
5242 | So he betook himself to his house; but when the artful baggage his wife saw him, she cried out in his face, saying,''Whither away, O trooper? |
5242 | So he looked at them and rising up, for that he knew them not, said to them,"What say ye? |
5242 | So he opened his eyes and finding an old woman at his head, raised his eyes and said to her,"Who art thou?" |
5242 | So he said to her,''Do thou excuse me, for my servant hath locked the door, and who shall open to us?'' |
5242 | So he said to the folk,''Know ye not who I am?'' |
5242 | So he said to the singer,''And what said she to thee at thy going away?'' |
5242 | So he said,''O strumpet, what doings are these?'' |
5242 | So he turned to those who were present and said to them,"To whom belongeth yonder house?" |
5242 | So his friend said to him,''How often did I tell thee thou hadst no luck in wheat? |
5242 | So how wilt thou return and cast thyself again into thine enemy''s hand? |
5242 | So she donned a devotee''s habit and betaking herself to the goldsmith, said to him,''To whom belongeth the bracelet that is in the king''s hand?'' |
5242 | So she took the knife from him and said to her husband,''Art thou a woman and he a man? |
5242 | So the cadi said to the brother,"Hath he delivered thee the garden, as he saith?" |
5242 | So the king said to him,''Why dost thou not go about thy business?'' |
5242 | So the king said to his vizier,''How shall we avail to abide in this city, and we in this state of poverty?'' |
5242 | So the lackpenny stopped and said to him,''Dost thou cry out upon me and becall[ me] with these words, O cuckold?'' |
5242 | So the master of the police refrained from slaying him and said to the third,"Who art thou?" |
5242 | So the trooper said to him,''What ails thee to be thus?'' |
5242 | So they did as he commanded and the merchant took his eyes in his hand and said,''How long[ wilt thou afflict me], O star of ill- omen? |
5242 | So they presented themselves before him,[ and the boy with them,] whom when the king saw, he said to them,"To whom belongeth this boy?" |
5242 | The cadi turned to Firouz and said to him,"What sayst thou, O youth?" |
5242 | The damsel opened to her and seeing her clad in devotee''s apparel,[FN#184] saluted her and said to her,''Belike thou hast an occasion with us?'' |
5242 | The eunuch fell a- weeping in the pit and the youth said to him,''What is this weeping and what shall it profit here?'' |
5242 | The prince thanked them and said to them,''God requite you with all good, for indeed ye give me loyal counsel; but whither would ye have me go?'' |
5242 | The youth sighed and answered,''I am a stranger;''and the eunuch said,''From what land art thou and who is thy father?'' |
5242 | Then he girt his middle with a handkerchief and entering, saluted the young merchant, who said to him,''Where hast thou been?'' |
5242 | Then he said to the chief eunuch,"Who am I?" |
5242 | Then he turned to Abou Temam and said to him,''Wilt thou not go with my message and seek me[ in marriage] the king''s daughter of the Turks?'' |
5242 | Then he turned to a damsel of the damsels and said to her,"Who am I?" |
5242 | Then he turned to another eunuch and said to him,"O my chief,[FN#20] by the protection of God, am I Commander of the Faithful?" |
5242 | Then he went on, but, before he had gone far, he said in himself,"If I take up the money and spur my horse and forego him, how shall he overtake me?" |
5242 | Then let his fellow say,"Knowest thou this for truth?" |
5242 | Then let the other of you ask,"And what is his transgression?" |
5242 | Then one of the crew questioned her, saying,''Whose wife art thou?'' |
5242 | Then said En Numan to the Tai,"And thou, what prompted thee to return, knowing that therein was death and thine own destruction?" |
5242 | Then said he to Arwa,"What wilt thou that I do with them?" |
5242 | Then said he to Sherik,"What prompted thee to become warrant for him, knowing that it was death?" |
5242 | Then said he to a third,"What is thy name?" |
5242 | Then said he to her,''Shah Khatoun, Shah Khatoun, is this my recompense from thee?'' |
5242 | Then said he to the king,''In what crafts dost thou excel?'' |
5242 | Then said she to him,"O my son, was there any one with thee yesternight?" |
5242 | Then said she to him,''When the king saw him and questioned thee of him, what saidst thou to him?'' |
5242 | Then said she,"O king, comest thou to a[ watering-]place whereat thy dog hath drunken and wilt thou drink thereof?" |
5242 | Then said the goldsmith to the prince,''Whence hadst thou these rubies?'' |
5242 | Then said the king,"How long wilt thou beguile us with thy prate, O youth? |
5242 | Then said the wife,''O man, how much do we owe the baker and the greengrocer?'' |
5242 | Then she brought out a rosary and began to tell her beads thereon, and the damsel said to her,''Whence comest thou, O pilgrim? |
5242 | Then the king acquainted the people[ of his court] with the matter and said to them,''O folk, how deem ye of my looking to the issues of affairs?'' |
5242 | Then we questioned him, saying,''Who is thy father?'' |
5242 | Then, when he had drunken, he said to him,"If thou wert denied the going forth of the draught from thy body, with what wouldst thou buy its issue?" |
5242 | There he saw a man tilling; so he sought guidance of him and the husbandman said,''Art thou a stranger?'' |
5242 | They saw him weeping and mourning and said to him,''What is thy case and what maketh thee weep?'' |
5242 | Thinkest thou to appease my heart with thy prate, whereby the days are spent in talk? |
5242 | This came to Abou Sabir''s knowledge and he said to his wife,''Said I not to thee, O woman, that whoso doth evil, it shall revert upon him? |
5242 | Thou art a stranger and a beggar, and what concern hast thou with the king''s health?'' |
5242 | What did ye? |
5242 | What doth this gold profit us? |
5242 | What excuse is left you?" |
5242 | What is come of the troops that were encamped beside my palace?'' |
5242 | What is his offence that he should merit this punishment? |
5242 | What is thy story and what maketh thee weep?" |
5242 | What possessed thee to leave the door open, so that the Devil came in to me and there befell me with him this and that?" |
5242 | What sayst thou?'' |
5242 | What then dost thou counsel me that I should do in this matter?" |
5242 | What then,"continued the young treasurer,"is more grievous than the lack of looking to the issues of affairs? |
5242 | What token, then, hast thou of the truth of thy saying?'' |
5242 | When Abou Sabir''s troops saw this, they marvelled and said,''What is this deed that the king doth? |
5242 | When I arose in the morning, there came the chamber- woman and said to me,"Hast thou occasion for the bath?" |
5242 | When Nuzhet el Fuad heard this, she started up from her lying posture and said,"How shall we do?" |
5242 | When she heard this, her wits fled and she would have cried out, but her reason restrained her, and the king said to her,''What is this? |
5242 | When the damsel heard these verses, she wept till her clothes were drenched and drew near the old woman, who said to her,''Knowest thou such an one?'' |
5242 | When the folk saw them on this wise, they came up to them and said to them,''What is this strife between you, and no cause for it?'' |
5242 | When the king heard this, he was perplexed and amazed and said to her,''Hast thou a proof that this youth is thy son? |
5242 | When the king heard this, his colour changed and he said to them,''Have ye proof of this?'' |
5242 | When the king saw him do thus, he was sore disquieted and bade seize him and said to him,''Is this my requital from thee? |
5242 | When the letter reached the chiefs[ of the people and troops], they all assembled together to Isfehend and said to him,"What is to do with him? |
5242 | When the prince heard this, he looked in his face and knowing him, cried out and said,''Art thou not Bihkerd the king?'' |
5242 | Whence knowest thou him?'' |
5242 | Whence pretendest thou to kinship with the king? |
5242 | Where was the eye of your father this day, that it might have seen you?'' |
5242 | Whereupon the sleeper awoke and sat up; and the eunuch said to him,''Who is thy father in this village and where is thy dwelling?'' |
5242 | Who is at the door other than he?" |
5242 | Who is at the door other than he?" |
5242 | Who is at the door, other than he?" |
5242 | Who is at the door, other than he?" |
5242 | Who is at the door?" |
5242 | Who is at the door?" |
5242 | Why, then, dost thou postpone the putting him to death?" |
5242 | Why, then, hast thou not looked upon her?'' |
5242 | Wilt thou break into the house of Ahmed the fuller, and he a man of repute, having a brother- in- law a Turk, a man of high standing with the Sultan? |
5242 | Wilt thou divorce me? |
5242 | Wilt thou not have me to husband?'' |
5242 | With this, the druggist was certified that the house was his house and the wife his wife, and he said,''And what wilt thou do to- day?'' |
5242 | [ FN#180] With what eye shall I look on him, and indeed, I am he in whom he confided and to whom he hath entrusted his son? |
5242 | [ FN#257] Heads of families? |
5242 | [ The thing is settled;] so say the word, how much wilt thou have[ to her dowry]?" |
5242 | ["Yes, O Commander of the Faithful,"answered Mesrour] Quoth the Lady Zubeideh, laughing from a heart full of wrath,"Wilt thou not leave thy jesting? |
5242 | [''How so?'' |
5242 | ],"as it were the thing had not been, and payest down nought for it?'' |
5242 | answered she, and he said,"What then saidst thou?" |
5242 | is constantly used in the Breslau Text in the sense of ma( what?). |
5242 | odorem pudendorum amicà ¦? |
5242 | spare strings, etc.? |
5242 | what is the matter?'' |
5242 | what is thy news? |
5242 | what was his affair? |
5664 | Alas,replied the princess,"how is it possible that I should execute such an act? |
5664 | And for what,cried the lady, feigning astonishment,"would they have used you so cruelly? |
5664 | And what did Imama to Ateca? |
5664 | And what is that? |
5664 | But tell me,replied he,"can you shoot with a bow?" |
5664 | But wherein have I offended you? |
5664 | But, Sir,said I,"may I presume to ask your majesty, if strangers be obliged to observe this law?" |
5664 | But,resumed he,"how came you into my dominions, and from whence came you last?" |
5664 | But,said the genie,"if I grant you the time you ask, I doubt you will never return?" |
5664 | By what adventure,said she, fetching a deep sigh,"are you come hither? |
5664 | Captain,said I,"was the merchant''s name, to whom those bales belonged, Sinbad?" |
5664 | Dear cousin,I cried,"what is the meaning of this?" |
5664 | Did not you sit down when you came hither? |
5664 | Do you take heaven to be witness to this promise? |
5664 | From whom,demanded the king,"have you the suggestion which you dare pronounce? |
5664 | Genie,said he,"will not you keep the oath you just now made? |
5664 | He your husband,replied he:"can you retain those thoughts so long? |
5664 | Heavens,exclaimed the merchant,"how could I kill your son? |
5664 | Honest man,said the vizier,"who art thou?" |
5664 | How could you, said he,"resolve to bring me your own daughter?" |
5664 | How little reason had I,said he,"to think that none was so unfortunate as myself? |
5664 | How, madam,he demanded,"what then am I to believe? |
5664 | How,said Buddir ad Deen,"must I be rifled; must I be imprisoned in a chest, and at last impaled, and all for not putting pepper in a cream- tart? |
5664 | How? |
5664 | I am a genie,said he, speaking to me,"son of the daughter of Eblis, prince of genies: is not this your hatchet, and are not these your cords?" |
5664 | I own I am the man,replied Buddir ad Deen,"but pray what crime is that?" |
5664 | If Ganem alone be guilty,thought he to himself,"why should the mother and the daughter, who are innocent, be punished? |
5664 | If I do not know him,said the princess,"would you have me lie on purpose to ruin him?" |
5664 | Inform me,said he,"for God''s sake, where I am, and what you would have?" |
5664 | Is it possible that he does not perceive it? |
5664 | Is it so? |
5664 | Is it thus,asked the physician,"that you reward me for curing you?" |
5664 | Is that your reward for the service I have rendered you? |
5664 | Knowest thou,said the king, when he saw him,"why I sent for thee?" |
5664 | Knowst thou not that lake? |
5664 | Look,said the genie, shewing her Buddir ad Deen Houssun,"did you ever see a youth more beautiful?" |
5664 | Madam,demanded the caliph,"where is the bundle of hair?" |
5664 | May not I have so much time,said he,"as to take some money and jewels along with me?" |
5664 | Mother,said he"for the love of God be pleased to tell me who is my father?" |
5664 | My abused daughter,said he,"can you give me no farther light in this miraculous affair?" |
5664 | My dear little one,said he,"what hast thou in thy bosom?" |
5664 | My dear lord,cried she,"do not I deceive myself; is it certain that I hear you, and that you speak to me?" |
5664 | My good lady,said he,"I was looking for your son, Ganem, is he here?" |
5664 | My lord,said the Jew,"then you sell me for a thousand sequins the lading of the first of your ships that shall arrive in port?" |
5664 | My lovely black,resumed the queen,"what do you mean by the root?" |
5664 | No,said the younger"I will not consent to that; are we not brethren, and equal in title and dignity? |
5664 | Potent monarch, to whom I am so much indebted,replied the king,"you think then that you are near your capital?" |
5664 | Pray, Sister,said the beautiful portress,"come in, what do you stay for? |
5664 | Princess,cried I,"what means all this?" |
5664 | Sir,said he,"why would your majesty take my life? |
5664 | That is strange,said the fisherman,"are you resolved to reward good with evil? |
5664 | This is the history of myself and this hind: is it not one of the most wonderful and surprising? |
5664 | Those admirable characters, are they not written by the hands of a man? |
5664 | Those negroes,replied they,"eat men, and by what miracle did you escape their cruelty?" |
5664 | Unhappy woman,said the sultan,"art thou worthy that I should answer thee?" |
5664 | Very well,replied the fisherman,"shall I speak to you more civilly, and call you the owl of good luck?" |
5664 | Was it not you,replied they,"that made the cream- tart you sold to the eunuch?" |
5664 | Was it not you,said they,"that sold this eunuch the cream- tart?" |
5664 | Well,cried Shumse ad Deen,"after all this, will you continue to deny that you entered the pastry- cook''s house, and ate there?" |
5664 | Well,said Haroon al Rusheed, seeing him come into his closet,"have you executed my orders?" |
5664 | Well,said the enchantress,"to pacify you, I am ready to execute your commands; would you have me restore him?" |
5664 | Were you born blind of the right eye,continued she? |
5664 | What do you mean, Sinbad? |
5664 | What do you say? |
5664 | What do you wait for? |
5664 | What fable do you tell me? |
5664 | What had the vizier done,demands the Grecian king,"to deserve punishment?" |
5664 | What is it,demanded the king,"that makes it so valuable?" |
5664 | What is the meaning of this,said Ganem''s mother;"do we carry the plague about us? |
5664 | What is the meaning of this? |
5664 | What misfortune befell the ass? |
5664 | What then is become of her,demanded the caliph,"if she is not dead?" |
5664 | What time do you require then? |
5664 | What will I do? |
5664 | What,cried she, much louder than before,"are the dead raised? |
5664 | What,demanded she"hinders you from revealing the secret?" |
5664 | What,said he,"can be the matter with the king of Tartary that he is so melancholy? |
5664 | What,said the caliph,"are you not of the family? |
5664 | Whither are you going? |
5664 | Why, you wretch,exclaimed the vizier"was it not you that made the cream- tart you sent me?" |
5664 | Woe be to thee,replied the genie,"hast thou the presumption to venture to marry my mistress?" |
5664 | Yes,replied he,"I am the man; and who says any thing against it? |
5664 | You believe him then to be dead? |
5664 | You have travelled,said I,"and what have you gained by it? |
5664 | Your stubbornness,resumed the vizier"will rouse my anger; why will you run headlong to your ruin? |
5664 | After his arrival, he heard the ass say to the ox"Comrade, tell me, I pray you, what you intend to do to- morrow, when the labourer brings you meat?" |
5664 | After the experience you have had of the little satisfaction there is in wedlock, is it possible you dare venture a second time? |
5664 | And all this, for what crime? |
5664 | And do you not agree that there is no wickedness equal to that of women?" |
5664 | And what have I done to deserve one so wretched?" |
5664 | And, in short, why do not you frighten them by bellowing aloud? |
5664 | Another voice asked,"What need had the princess of the dervise''s prayers?" |
5664 | Are these the actions of Moosulmauns, of persons who make a profession of probity, justice, and good works?" |
5664 | Are you resolved to let me die, without affording me the comfort of hearing again from your own lips that you love me? |
5664 | As soon as my wife heard me give this order, she exclaimed,"What are you about, husband? |
5664 | At length he broke out in these words:"Beautiful Fetnah, may I give credit to what you tell me? |
5664 | At these words all the children cried out,"Agib, what do you say? |
5664 | At this answer, the furious genie told her,"You are a false woman, and speak not the truth; how came that axe and those cords there?" |
5664 | Besides, I want to know what is become of my vest, my turban, and the bag of sequins I had at Cairo?" |
5664 | Besides, can you think of leaving me, and adding to that sorrow with which I am already oppressed? |
5664 | Blood is no less powerful than love in great minds; but why should we despair of seeing him again? |
5664 | Buddir ad Deen, astonished at the sight, said with a pitiful tone,"Pray, good people, why do you serve me so? |
5664 | But suppose I had discovered him, is it not easily seen that his conduct must have proceeded from absolute power? |
5664 | But then, brother,"said he farther,"if this marriage should happen, would you expect that my son should settle a jointure on your daughter?" |
5664 | But whither does this pleasing transport carry me? |
5664 | But whose son am I?" |
5664 | Can the wife of a sovereign be capable of such infamous conduct? |
5664 | Can you not resolve us concerning the two black bitches and the lady that fainted away, who appears to have been so basely abused?" |
5664 | Did I not just now set you at liberty, and have you already forgotten my services?" |
5664 | Did not crook- back lie with you tonight?" |
5664 | Did not you rise from me but now? |
5664 | Did you really appear before my eyes, or was it only an illusion?" |
5664 | Do not you and I know what is just? |
5664 | Do you assure me that you will cure my leprosy without potion, or applying any external medicine?" |
5664 | Do you know,"continued he,"that I am master of the secret to make you white, instead of being black as you are?" |
5664 | Do you remember you ever saw me before?" |
5664 | Does not thy barbarity surpass my vengeance? |
5664 | Has any thing disquieted you?" |
5664 | Has he any cause to complain of his reception? |
5664 | Has not the genie a very faithful mistress? |
5664 | Hast thou closed those eyes that evinced so much love, and were all my delight? |
5664 | He addressed himself to the two former, and asked why the merchant who sat with them looked so melancholy? |
5664 | He advanced towards the pan, and touching one of the fish with his staff, said with a terrible voice,"Fish, are you in your duty?" |
5664 | He asked me who I was, and by what adventure I had come into his dominions? |
5664 | He asked why they had disturbed his rest? |
5664 | He caused the slave, who was not far off, to be brought immediately, and when he came,"Rascal,"said he,"where hadst thou this apple?" |
5664 | He commanded her to rise, and having made her sit down, asked whether she had heard any news of Ganem? |
5664 | He has perhaps cured you only in appearance, and not radically; who knows but the medicine he has given you, may in time have pernicious effects?" |
5664 | He returned my salutation, and continued,"Is it possible you do not know me?" |
5664 | He sent for the fisherman, and when he came, said to him,"Fisherman, the fish you have brought us, make me very uneasy; where did you catch them?" |
5664 | He soon heard a voice, however, which said,"Do you know what honest man this is, to whom we have done this piece of service?" |
5664 | He stepped towards the bed, and said to her,"Is it long since I left you?" |
5664 | He went forthwith to his sister- in- law''s tent, and said to the eunuch,"Wretch, have you the impudence to abuse the trust I repose in you?" |
5664 | How do you propose to effect your purpose?" |
5664 | How is it possible that you, being this morning at Damascus, could be last night at Cairo?" |
5664 | How it has happened that each of you has but one eye? |
5664 | How then could I dare to complain? |
5664 | Hump- back, who was enraged at Buddir ad Deen, suspecting him to be his rival, gave him a cross look, and said,"And thou, what dost thou wait for? |
5664 | I also knew the captain; but being persuaded that he believed me to be drowned, I went, and asked him whose bales these were? |
5664 | I asked him what reason he had thus to despair? |
5664 | I believe such an act of violence was never heard of before; but against whom could I complain? |
5664 | I called to him, and said,"Good slave, pr''ythee tell me where thou hadst this apple?" |
5664 | I have only sent for you to know who you are, and to ask for what reason one of you, after severely whipping the two black bitches, wept with them? |
5664 | I sat up, and asked her who she was? |
5664 | I then asked them what they did in such a desert place? |
5664 | I therefore answered the genie,"How should I know her, when I never saw her till now?" |
5664 | I told him I had the head- ache, which I hoped would have satisfied him, but he took a candle, and saw my cheek was hurt:"How comes this wound?" |
5664 | If thy own breast can not keep thy counsel, how canst thou expect the breast of another to be more faithful?''" |
5664 | Is it from insensibility, or contempt? |
5664 | Is it not just to kill him that has killed another?" |
5664 | Is it not reasonable that, after all this I should enjoy a quiet and pleasant life?" |
5664 | Is it not sufficient justification that he is accused of a design against your life? |
5664 | Is it possible that a man could yesterday be at Bussorah, the same night at Cairo, and this morning at Damascus? |
5664 | Is it possible they should be capable of taking a man''s life for not putting pepper in a cream- tart? |
5664 | Is it possible, my son, that your quarrel should rise so high about an imaginary marriage? |
5664 | Is the day of judgment come? |
5664 | May I believe that the caliph really resigns you to Abou Ayoub''s son?" |
5664 | Must fortune needs add new misfortunes to just complaints?" |
5664 | Must the unjust and barbarous usage we have received render us odious to our fellow- citizens? |
5664 | One of them said to the other,"Is not the queen wrong, not to love so amiable a prince?" |
5664 | Or rather, did she not promise to see you, and restore those bitches to their natural shape?" |
5664 | Perhaps it grieves him to be at such a distance from his dominions, or from the queen his wife? |
5664 | Pray tell me what I am to think; whether my marriage with you is an illusion, or whether my absence from you is only a dream?" |
5664 | Pray tell us your history, for it must be extraordinary; how did you venture yourself into this river, and whence did you come?" |
5664 | She drew near them, and having overheard them speaking pretty loud, said,"Gentlemen, what is the subject of your conversation? |
5664 | Some days after, not knowing who I was, he asked me if I understood any trade? |
5664 | Such being the case, what a fool am I to kill myself with grief? |
5664 | Supposing you could resolve to give him up for me, and that you would follow me, ought I to consent? |
5664 | The caliph asked the criminals which of them it was that so cruelly murdered the lady, and threw her into the Tigris? |
5664 | The caliph was not displeased with Fetnah for the freedom of these words;"But may I,"said he,"rely on the assurance you give me of Ganem''s virtue?" |
5664 | The caliph, moved with compassion, said to the fisherman,"Hast thou the courage to go back and cast thy net once more? |
5664 | The caliph, who heard this, came to him and the other calenders, and asked them what might be the meaning of all this? |
5664 | The cock answered the dog''s reproof thus:"What, has our master so little sense? |
5664 | The cock standing up on tiptoe, answered fiercely:"And why not to- day as well as other days?" |
5664 | The eunuch perceiving he followed them, was extremely surprised:"You impertinent fellow,"said he, with an angry tone,"what do you want?" |
5664 | The farmer''s daughter then came to us:"My good maid,"said I,"can you restore my son to his former shape?" |
5664 | The fisherman then said to him,"I wish to know if you were actually in this vessel: Dare you swear it by the name of the great God?" |
5664 | The king having asked what it was? |
5664 | The lady immediately took up the veil, and delivered it to him, asking him whether he could read? |
5664 | The lady, who was pleased to see his confusion, said, once more,"My lord, what do you wait for?" |
5664 | The people who gathered pepper came to meet me as soon as they saw me, and asked me in Arabic who I was, and whence I came? |
5664 | The pretended princess appeared that very moment, and perceiving she had missed her prey, exclaimed,"Fear nothing, prince: Who are you? |
5664 | The sultan asked the fisherman, how far the lake might be from the palace? |
5664 | The sultan caused to be brought to him a chessboard, and asked me by a sign if I understood that game, and would play with him? |
5664 | The sultan, being much surprised, sent immediately for the fisherman, and said to him,"Friend, can not you bring me four more such fish?" |
5664 | The unfortunate youth lifting up his head, exclaimed,"What news dost thou bring?" |
5664 | The young man having recovered, looked all around, and not seeing what he sought, exclaimed,"What is become of you, charming Fetnah? |
5664 | The young man turned his eyes towards me, and said,"My good lady, pray let me know who you are, and what has brought you to this desolate city? |
5664 | This made me one day take the liberty to ask the king how it came to pass? |
5664 | Unable, however, to withstand the earnest desire of being satisfied,"Ganem,"said she, with a trembling voice,"is it you I behold?" |
5664 | Upon this I looked at him narrowly, and recognised him:"Ah, brother,"cried I, embracing him,"how could I know you in this condition?" |
5664 | Upon this the sultan said again to his daughter,"How do you know that this prince has been transformed by enchantments into an ape?" |
5664 | Upon which, turning to me,"And thou,"said he,"dost thou not know her?" |
5664 | Was it not enough to be afflicted by the death of so dear a father? |
5664 | Was there any need of staying a whole month after my return, before you sent me word where you were?" |
5664 | What a wonderful change is this from evening to morning?" |
5664 | What are you disputing about?" |
5664 | What crime have I committed?" |
5664 | What do you think of this plan?" |
5664 | What has he done to obtain from thee a lot so agreeable? |
5664 | What have I done?" |
5664 | What impudence is this? |
5664 | What is the matter? |
5664 | What melancholy return have you received for your care and respect? |
5664 | What shall I say to him at his return, when he inquires of me after her?" |
5664 | What will the world say of such sanguinary violence?" |
5664 | Whatever misfortune befalls me, I can not forbear asking, why you bedaubed your faces with black? |
5664 | When he saw that the slave hesitated to obey him,"Why do you not strike?" |
5664 | When she had done speaking, the caliph said to her,"I believe all you have told me; but why was it so long before you let me hear from you? |
5664 | When the fisherman heard these words of the genie, he recovered his courage, and said to him,"Thou proud spirit, what is it you say? |
5664 | When they come to fasten you to the stall, why do you not resist? |
5664 | Where are they who enjoy quietly the happiness which they hold of her, and whose day is always clear and serene?" |
5664 | Where does he live? |
5664 | While she was thus bewailing herself, the grand vizier entered, and asked her if the fish were ready? |
5664 | Whilst I was admiring its beauty, I heard from beneath the voice of a man, who immediately appeared, and asked me who I was? |
5664 | Whither canst thou fly for refuge against the unjust prince who persecutes thee? |
5664 | Who can assure me, that I shall be more successful than you have been?" |
5664 | Who is he, that, notwithstanding the regard and respell he had for me, is in a miserable condition? |
5664 | Whom do you seek?" |
5664 | Why art thou not gone as well as the rest? |
5664 | Will you absolutely take away the life of a poor innocent?" |
5664 | Will you be pleased to allow me the consolation of giving her this last testimony of my affection?" |
5664 | You know by what medicine, or rather by what miracle, he cured me of my leprosy: If he had had a design upon my life, why did he save me then? |
5664 | You know the conditions on which these ladies consented to receive us, and which we agreed to observe; what will they say of us if we break them? |
5664 | after the hideous sacrifice you have just consummated, can you see me with so much satisfaction?" |
5664 | and do not you know that you are at one of the gates of Damascus?" |
5664 | and why you are alone?" |
5664 | dare you say that the vizier is not my father?" |
5664 | demanded the dog;"what would you have him do?" |
5664 | demanded the genie:"did you not take dates out of your wallet, and as you ate them, did not you throw the shells about in different directions?" |
5664 | do not you think it very extraordinary?" |
5664 | exclaimed Buddir ad Deen,"is it a capital crime to make a bad cream- tart?" |
5664 | exclaimed the merchant,"can nothing prevail with you? |
5664 | hast thou destroyed that excess of affection which he bare me? |
5664 | he exclaimed,"whom can we trust in these times? |
5664 | he replied in a passion,"have you lost your senses, daughter, that you make such a dangerous request? |
5664 | how you came to be here? |
5664 | in attempting the life of the object which I adore, hast thou not robbed me of mine? |
5664 | is possible that you are still alive? |
5664 | ladies, whither do you command me to go in my present condition? |
5664 | madam,"answered Harem, concerned for himself than for Fetnah,"you only take care of me, what will become of you?" |
5664 | madam,"exclaimed he, eagerly interrupting her,"what miracle has restored you to my sight? |
5664 | my dear friend,"said she,"by your being here at this time of night you must be my husband''s comrade?" |
5664 | my good lord, of what crime can I be guilty towards you, that you should take away my life?" |
5664 | my lord,"replied the young man,"how is it possible but I should grieve, and my eyes be inexhaustible fountains of tears?" |
5664 | replied he,"how do you think I should obtain the favour you wish me? |
5664 | replied the fisherman,"why would you kill me? |
5664 | replied the queen,"why do you reproach me thus?" |
5664 | said Buddir ad Deen,"what do you mean to do with a stake?" |
5664 | said he in a passion,"do you appear before me thus? |
5664 | said he to himself,"I am scarcely out of my palace, and but just under the walls of Samarcand, and dare they put such an outrage upon me? |
5664 | said he, rubbing his eyes,"am I asleep or awake?" |
5664 | said he,"can you suffer me to die an ignominious and painful death? |
5664 | said he,"must I suffer a death as cruel as it is ignominious, for not putting pepper in a cream- tart?" |
5664 | said he,"unfortunate Buddir ad Deen, what will become of thee? |
5664 | said he;"who placed you thus?" |
5664 | said she,"does my child thus despise the work of my hands? |
5664 | said she,"what will become of me? |
5664 | said the first,"how should he? |
5664 | said the genie to her, pointing at me,"is not this your gallant?" |
5664 | said the genie,"he is the cause of thy being in the condition thou art justly in; and yet darest thou say thou cost not know him?" |
5664 | said the vizier,"what favour? |
5664 | said they,"what but the necessity of parting from you could thus afflict us? |
5664 | says the genie,"if you have a mind to be informed, open the vessel: do you think that I can be in an humour to relate stories in so strait a prison? |
5664 | shouldst thou not rather have remained at home, and quietly enjoyed the fruits of thy labour?" |
5664 | what are they, madam?" |
5664 | what did you hear?" |
5664 | where are you at this time, whither has thy cruel fate led thee? |
5664 | where are you?" |
5664 | who can assure you of that? |
5664 | whose this castle is? |
5664 | why did you not let me perish miserably, rather than afford me your generous relief? |
5664 | why do you not gore them with your horns, and shew that you arc angry, by striking your foot against the ground? |
5664 | why dost not thou swallow up that monster so revolting to human nature, or rather why dost not thou swallow up both the lover and his mistress?" |
5665 | Agreeable Maimoune,replied Danhasch,"may I presume to ask who this prince you speak of is?" |
5665 | Alas,thought I,"this misfortune and affront are unsufferable; how shall I dare to return to Moussol? |
5665 | Am not I unhappy to be born to dove, without hope of enjoying the object of my passion? 5665 Amgiad,"cried he,"what shall we do now? |
5665 | And does this magnificent pavilion also belong to you? |
5665 | And to whom, think you, belongs this slave? |
5665 | And why, fool,said the man of the house,"do not you answer at first, when people ask you who is there? |
5665 | Buddir ad Deen,said I to the merchant,"what is the price you must have for this stuff that belongs to me?" |
5665 | But is what you say true? |
5665 | But sir,said he,"will it not be more convenient for you to go home?" |
5665 | Can you play upon it? |
5665 | Children,said he to them,"are you all here? |
5665 | Come, bring the ragout; I fancy you will like that as well as you did the lamb: Well, how do you relish it? |
5665 | Commander of the true believers,replied the grand vizier,"if that is your intention, I wish to God she may play ill.""Why so?" |
5665 | Cursed genie,replied Maimoune,"what hurt canst thou do me? |
5665 | Dear sister,said they to her,"what has happened since we left you? |
5665 | Devout adorers of fire,said he to them,"this is a happy day for us; where is Gazban? |
5665 | Do you come to affront and contradict me,said the prince in a rage,"and to tell me to my face, that what I have told you is a dream?" |
5665 | Do you really mean,said she,"that he is descended from the kings of Persia?" |
5665 | Ever since I have known this young man,said I inwardly,"he has always appeared very polite; is it possible he can do this out of contempt? |
5665 | Gentlemen,said he,"I am much troubled for that young man and lady; can you give me any tidings of them?" |
5665 | Good man,replied the servant,"whence do you come that you ask me such a question? |
5665 | Good people,replied the magistrate,"for what should I assassinate your master, whom I do not know and who has done me no harm? |
5665 | Great queen,he replied, with tears in his eyes,"does your majesty ask what my name was formerly, or what it is now?" |
5665 | Hagi Hassan,said he,"here is a slave whom I mean to sell; what will they give for her?" |
5665 | How did they bear their punishment? |
5665 | How did you manage,said he,"to avoid being taken by the watch?" |
5665 | How know you,asked the jeweller,"that I have another house?" |
5665 | How like you this bread,said the Barmecide;"do not you find it very good?" |
5665 | How so? |
5665 | How so? |
5665 | How, sir,replied the princess, without giving him time to go on,"do you ask me if any one lay with me last night? |
5665 | How,said my brother,"what have you to say against me? |
5665 | How,thought I,"shall I get rid of this cursed barber? |
5665 | I beseech you, madam,replied the fair slave,"what prejudice can this action of Noor ad Deen''s do to you or him?" |
5665 | I sent for you,resumed the sultan,"to inform you that it is my intention to provide a proper marriage for you: what do you think of my design?" |
5665 | I will call another barber, sir,replied he, with a coolness that put me out of all patience;"what reason have you to be angry with me? |
5665 | In what can I serve you? |
5665 | Is Schemselnihar then dead? |
5665 | Is it bashfulness,said she,"that keeps you silent? |
5665 | Is it possible that Scheich Ibrahim makes a custom of leaving it thus all night? 5665 Is it true,"demanded he,"that you are willing to sell it for fifty sherifs,?" |
5665 | Is it true,demanded the Barmecide,"that you are fasting till now? |
5665 | Is not this she,said he,"that the sultan my father would have had me marry? |
5665 | Is there any thing, my charming lady, wanting to render the pleasure of the evening more complete? |
5665 | Is this garden your own? |
5665 | It is wine then you mean? |
5665 | Jaaffier,said he to the grand vizier,"what excuse have you for the door''s being open at this unseasonable hour?" |
5665 | Madam,said he,"how could you live with such wicked people, as I have so justly revenged myself upon?" |
5665 | Madam,said she,"may I presume to ask you the occasion of your concern; and what accident has happened in the bath, to make you leave it so soon?" |
5665 | May one ask,said I,"by what mischance you lost your right hand?" |
5665 | Miserable debauchee,cried he,"wouldst thou have me believe thou hast any thing else left to make money of but thy slave?" |
5665 | My lord,replied the slave,"I swear I know of no such lady; and how should she come in without my knowledge, since I lay at the door?" |
5665 | Scheich Ibrahim,said Noor ad Deen, in great surprise,"did you not tell us that this was your garden?" |
5665 | Silent man,said he to him,"I understand that you know wonderful stories, will you tell me some of them?" |
5665 | Silent man,said the sultan,"why do you laugh?" |
5665 | Sir,exclaimed one of the domestics,"will you listen to a robber, who enters people''s houses to plunder and murder them? |
5665 | Sir,said the barber,"pray what do you mean? |
5665 | Sirrah,said Amgiad, with a fierce tone, and angry look,"where have you been? |
5665 | Softly, sir,said he, very calmly, without being moved by my anger:"are you not afraid of a relapse? |
5665 | Son,said she,"I beg of you, if it be not disagreeable, to tell me what reason you have for your great aversion to marriage? |
5665 | Tell me,said the princess,"what is become of the young man that has passed the night with me, and whom I love with all my soul?" |
5665 | The lady is in the right,answered Scheich Ibrahim;"but what can you do with your fish, unless it were dressed? |
5665 | Vizier,said the king immediately,"look yonder; what is the meaning of those horsemen?" |
5665 | Well, sir,said she,"are you now convinced of the truth of what I told you?" |
5665 | Well,said the king,"in what condition did you find my son?" |
5665 | What do you mean? |
5665 | What do you mean? |
5665 | What do you want, my son? |
5665 | What harm could your master do to me,replied the cauzee,"to oblige me to abuse him at that rate? |
5665 | What hast thou got in these trunks? |
5665 | What is it,demanded the prince,"that could give my father so much uneasiness?" |
5665 | What is that? 5665 What is the reason I must be gone so soon?" |
5665 | What liquor would you have? |
5665 | What mean you, sir,said some that were nearest to him,"thus to expose a life of such promising expectations to certain death? |
5665 | What riotous doings are here? |
5665 | What shall I do? |
5665 | What urgent affair,demanded Noor ad Deen,"obliges you to be going so soon?" |
5665 | What will become of me? |
5665 | What will you do with me then? |
5665 | What, son,exclaimed Fatima;"have you then more reasons after those you have already alleged? |
5665 | Where are you going? |
5665 | Where is the fair Persian, then? |
5665 | Why do you not open the gate then,demanded the lady;"what do you wait for?" |
5665 | Why do you sigh and weep so bitterly? |
5665 | Why, madam? |
5665 | Why,said my brother,"can not a man carry a knife about him without being a robber? |
5665 | Why,said the lady in surprise,"do you use me so? |
5665 | You jest, sir,said he;"if your friends have invited you to a feast, what should prevent you from allowing me to go with you? |
5665 | You were about,added he,"to put to death an innocent person; for how can he be guilty of the death of a man who was dead before he touched him? |
5665 | replied Scheich:what more service can I do you?" |
5665 | â � � As we went along, one of those that had charge of us demanded of me who I was? 5665 About the middle of the night, the miller came to my brother, and said,Neighbour, are you asleep? |
5665 | After supper the men asked him, if he knew whom he spoke to? |
5665 | Am I not handsome and agreeable?" |
5665 | Amgiad drank and rose:"Where are you going?" |
5665 | Amgiad then demanded how far it was to the isle of Ebene? |
5665 | And how can I, when I am taken up with your dear image, express to that prince the joy which he always observed in my eyes whenever he came to see me? |
5665 | As my brother went out of the house, two blind men, his companions, were going by, knew him by his voice, and asked him what was the matter? |
5665 | As soon as I saw the young man, I intreated him to alight, and asked him if he would not take his money? |
5665 | As soon as the prince saw him, he asked earnestly what news he had to communicate? |
5665 | At that instant his mother arrived, and catching hold of the vizier''s arm, cried,"Sir, what are you doing?" |
5665 | At the end of the year he took him aside, and said to him;"My son, have you thoroughly considered what I proposed to you last year about marrying? |
5665 | Besides, what is become of Schemselnihar and the prince of Persia? |
5665 | But before he had time to answer, the master of the house exclaimed,"Is it thus you honour my table? |
5665 | But how could she get into this tower without my consent? |
5665 | But suppose me so vile a wretch, could I do it without being guilty of perjury, after the oath I have taken to my late father never to sell you? |
5665 | But tell me what sort of men were your brothers, were they like you?" |
5665 | But the cursed barber followed me close, crying,"Stay, sir; why do you run so fast? |
5665 | But where shall I seek her? |
5665 | But why do I talk of that? |
5665 | Can I relish his kind words and caresses? |
5665 | Can I see the caliph familiar with the objets of my love, and not die of grief? |
5665 | Can my happiness be greater in this world, than to have you on one side of me, and my glass on the other?" |
5665 | Can not the heads you see on all the gates of this city deter you from such an undertaking? |
5665 | Can there happen a greater misfortune to him or me?" |
5665 | Canst thou flatter thyself so far as to believe that the trifling adventures of a young debauchee are more interesting than those of my jester? |
5665 | Could I, after the civility I shewed thee, expect such inhuman and barbarous usage? |
5665 | Did I not tell you truly, that you would expose your life by your obstinate refusal to let me go with you? |
5665 | Did not he throw himself into danger, and could he have come off so well without my assistance? |
5665 | Did not their wisdom, their modesty, their obedience, their submission to thy will in all things, their virtue, all plead in their behalf? |
5665 | Do you doubt the effect of my promise? |
5665 | Do you see this charming beauty? |
5665 | Do you think I would suffer such a polluted wretch to poison me? |
5665 | Does not all that you behold point out to you that it is the palace of a Barmecide?" |
5665 | Does not your majesty find it more surprising than that of the hunch- back buffoon? |
5665 | Dost thou think I am as perfidious as thyself, and capable of breaking the solemn oath I have made? |
5665 | Had I not better have tarried in Bagdad, and awaited my death?" |
5665 | Has Ebn Thaher, who was all my comfort, in whom I put all my confidence, left me? |
5665 | Has he any reason to complain of and abuse me? |
5665 | Have I given you such slender proofs of my love, that you should think me capable of so base an action? |
5665 | Have I unthinkingly given you any occasion of uneasiness? |
5665 | Have you seen her confidant? |
5665 | He asked them where his mother was? |
5665 | He then demanded of him who he was, and whence he had come? |
5665 | He was going to give him another blow, but the Barmecide holding up his hand to ward it off, cried,"Are you mad?" |
5665 | How came she here, and by what conveyance, without my consent? |
5665 | How came the lady hither who lay with me to- night, and who brought her?" |
5665 | How came you to know her?" |
5665 | How can I appear abroad again without moustaches?" |
5665 | How can I have contributed to it?'' |
5665 | How shall I dare appear before my princess without her talisman?" |
5665 | How will you now carry on your correspondence with Schemselnihar? |
5665 | Hypocritical hag, do not you remember?" |
5665 | I am a poet, I am an architect; and what is it I am not? |
5665 | I answered, â � � Perhaps it may, and if you will permit me, I will try the remedy.''? |
5665 | I asked them, what brought them there? |
5665 | I asked,"wherein have I deserved your displeasure?" |
5665 | I said to him,"Pardon, Sir, the liberty I take in asking you what reason you have for not using your right hand? |
5665 | I suffered myself to be bound as well as the rest, without speaking one word: for what would it have availed to have spoken, or made any resistance? |
5665 | I think you told me you left him behind in the city of the idolaters; can you tell me what is his employment there?" |
5665 | If he is, how came he in, or who could have introduced him?" |
5665 | If you speak of the Nile, where is there a more wonderful river? |
5665 | Is he in my house? |
5665 | Is it just, tell me, to impute a misfortune to persons who have no ways contributed towards it? |
5665 | Is it possible they can be insensible of the danger of their correspondence? |
5665 | Is it possible, sir, that you took me for one of those impudent beggars who push into people''s houses to ask alms? |
5665 | Is not Grand Cairo the largest, the most populous, and the richest city in the world? |
5665 | Kummir al Zummaun entered, and demanded of the gardener why he was so cautious? |
5665 | Maimoune now cried out to Danhasch,"Ah, cursed genie, art thou not now convinced how much thy princess is inferior to my prince? |
5665 | May I flatter myself that yours have the same impatience to see me? |
5665 | Must so ardent a passion as mine be disturbed with so potent a rival? |
5665 | My brother made no answer, and knocked a second time: the master of the house asked again and again,"Who is there?" |
5665 | Never was grief equal to Kummir all Zummaun''s, when he recovered from his fit:"Barbarous father,"cried he,"what hast thou done? |
5665 | Noor ad Deen hearing him first, told Scheich Ibrahim of it, who asked who was there? |
5665 | Noor ad Deen was loth to resort to this expedient; but what could he do in the necessitous circumstances to which he was reduced? |
5665 | On his arrival there, Kummir al Zummaun inquired if he had done as commanded? |
5665 | One day he knocked thus, and the master of the house, who was alone, cried,"Who is there?" |
5665 | One day, as I sat taking the cool air at my gate, a very handsome, well- dressed lady came to me, and asked if I did not sell stuffs? |
5665 | Or do you come on purpose to tell me you no longer love me?" |
5665 | Or is it want of confidence in me? |
5665 | See what has happened to you, by your own fault; and if I had not resolutely followed, to see whither you went, what would have become of you? |
5665 | Seeing a handsome young man, she lifted up her veil, asked him with a smiling air, and bewitching look, whither he was going? |
5665 | Seeing he did not enter, she asked,"Why do not you come into your house?" |
5665 | Shall I go down the hills and valleys which I have passed overt''Shall I wander in darkness? |
5665 | She asked who he was, and what he cried for? |
5665 | She is not afraid to expose her life for me, and would you have me regard mine? |
5665 | She returned a third time; and at that interview, when we were both warm with wine, she spoke thus:"My dear love, what do you think of me? |
5665 | She shook him several times, and finding he did not awake, exclaimed,"What is come to thee? |
5665 | Tell me then, wandering spirit, whence thou comest, what thou hast seen, and what thou hast done this night?" |
5665 | Tell me, I beseech you, how I shall reclaim a disposition so rebellious to my will?" |
5665 | Tell me, I conjure you,"added he,"what cruel lady is this, who forces people to love her, without giving them time to reflect?" |
5665 | Tell us truly who you are?" |
5665 | The caliph fell a laughing at his astonishment; and calling to him,"Scheich Ibrahim,"said he,"What dost thou want? |
5665 | The caliph fell a laughing; by which the vizier recognising him,"Commander of the true believers,"said he,"is it possible it can be you? |
5665 | The captain in his turn demanded of the prince, whether he was not a debtor of the king of Ebene? |
5665 | The commander of the brigade demanded of the prince, Schemselnihar, and the jeweller, who they were, and whence they had come so late? |
5665 | The eunuch redoubling his pace, with difficulty got up to him,"Wither so fast?"" |
5665 | The first question the vizier asked was, If Noor ad Deen was living? |
5665 | The jeweller alarmed, asked her what was the matter? |
5665 | The jeweller was much surprised at this resolution of the confidant, and said,"Certainly you do not consider that the caliph will never suffer this?" |
5665 | The judge did not give ear to all that was said; but asked the cavalier if he suspected any body else beside me? |
5665 | The judge perceiving that he looked upon him with his eyes open, was much surprised, and said to him,"Rogue, what is the meaning of this miracle?" |
5665 | The lady loves you, and has a mind to make you happy; and will you, for a nasty whisker, renounce the most delicious favours that man can obtain?" |
5665 | The lady, on the contrary, transported at the sight, exclaimed,"How, my lord, did you fear there was nothing ready? |
5665 | The neighbours collected, and asked what assistance he wanted? |
5665 | The prince, vexed to the heart at having taken so much pains to no purpose, thought of returning;"But,"said he to himself,"which way shall I return? |
5665 | The princess demanded how much the fifty jars might be worth in the isle of Ebene? |
5665 | The queen answered,"Have you two names then?" |
5665 | The sultan perceiving his constraint, addressed him with great mildness,"Do you know, son, for what reason I have sent for you?" |
5665 | The sultan smiled at the barber''s freedom, and replied,"Why do you ask?" |
5665 | The vizier having stayed some time, and finding none of the merchants outbid him,"What do you stay for?" |
5665 | The wicked old woman came running at the noise, and my brother seizing her, said to her,"Treacherous wretch, do not you know me?" |
5665 | They insolently said to him,"You cursed cauzee, what reason have you to assassinate our master? |
5665 | Thou oughtest also to remember what another of our books says, â � � What signifies if one dies the next day after the death of his enemy?''" |
5665 | Was it you that took the gentleman''s purse from him? |
5665 | Was there ever finer singing, or better playing upon the lute? |
5665 | What answer could the jeweller have made in the condition he was in? |
5665 | What can be the reason he does not use his right hand?" |
5665 | What could I say when I saw myself so cruelly delayed? |
5665 | What crime can he have committed, that a man of his high rank can deserve to be treated thus rigorously?" |
5665 | What has he done to you?" |
5665 | What have I done to subject myself to the severe law of not being able to join with the only person I love?" |
5665 | What have you been doing, that you came no sooner?" |
5665 | What have you done to kill this man?" |
5665 | What proportion is there between the punishment and the crime? |
5665 | What says she to you?" |
5665 | What water was ever lighter or more delicious? |
5665 | What will it be when you are obliged to part? |
5665 | When Bahader and Amgiad were in the court, Bahader demanded of the prince, how the lady came into his house? |
5665 | When Noor ad Deen came aboard, the first question he asked was, whither the vessel was bound? |
5665 | When Noor ad Deen had ended his story,"And whither are you going now?" |
5665 | When she had taken her seat, she asked him, whether that was his house? |
5665 | When the officers brought him before the magistrate, he asked him where he had the goods which he had carried home the preceding evening? |
5665 | When the thieves were gone, the prince said to the jeweller,"What think you of our adventure and condition? |
5665 | When they approached, she arose and went to meet Mesrour, who advanced first; she asked what news he brought? |
5665 | When they had recovered, the first thing Schemselnihar did was to look about: and not seeing Ebn Thaher, she asked, with eagerness, where he was? |
5665 | When they reached the chamber, the man let go his hand, and sitting down, asked him again what he wanted? |
5665 | When will the time come that I shall enjoy it without fear of a separation? |
5665 | Whither do you go, sir? |
5665 | Who could ever have believed, that persons so highly obliged to me, and on whom I have spent my estate, could have used me so ungratefully? |
5665 | Who knows but he has brought her himself, and is hidden behind the hangings, to observe me, and make me ashamed of my dissimulation? |
5665 | Why did not you request money of me, and I would have lent it you? |
5665 | Why did you not take care to wash your hands after eating of that cursed dish?" |
5665 | Why do you give any body the trouble to come and open the door when they speak to you?" |
5665 | Will not the arrival of the caliph put me in mind of your departure? |
5665 | Will you do me the honour to come to my residence? |
5665 | Will you stain your hands and your palace with your own blood? |
5665 | Will you still refuse me that pleasure I expect from your obedience, and suffer me to die without affording me that satisfaction?" |
5665 | Would it not have been more for his honour and quiet that he had never run such a risk?" |
5665 | You would have me then believe all you have told me? |
5665 | Your company alone relieves me; but I conjure you not to dissemble with me: what news do you bring of Schemselnihar? |
5665 | and how durst Scheich Ibrahim give them admittance, and partake of the diversion with them? |
5665 | and why they broke open his door? |
5665 | and will my strength bear me out? |
5665 | answered she trembling,"who are you? |
5665 | as soon as he had perused it through,"is this the fidelity thou owest thy master and thy king?" |
5665 | asked the lady;"and why do you take the cup with your left hand, rather than your right?" |
5665 | brother, are you one of those who believe me mad? |
5665 | brother,"said Assad,"we have so little time to live, what need have we to quench our thirst? |
5665 | but to no purpose, no one answered; upon which he came down, opened the door, and asked my brother what he wanted? |
5665 | continued he,"how do I know she is alive?" |
5665 | cried Noor ad Deen,"is it possible you can entertain such a thought? |
5665 | cried she,"is it you the king my father has designed me for a husband? |
5665 | cried they, laying hold of him,"and dare you say that you are not a robber?" |
5665 | daughter,"said the king,"has any one lain with you last night?" |
5665 | did you not tell me you had forsworn wine? |
5665 | dost thou deserve to live after the execrable crime thou hast committed? |
5665 | exclaimed my brother,"why do you beat me?" |
5665 | hast thou at last thrown thy father from the highest pinnacle of happiness into a misfortune that must inevitably involve thee also in his ruin? |
5665 | have any of you any more business to do in the city? |
5665 | have you the insolence to talk thus to your father and sultan?" |
5665 | how would you have us go?" |
5665 | insolent,"said he,"darest thou insult me yet? |
5665 | is that charming prince then dead? |
5665 | or have you left any thing behind you?" |
5665 | or shall we flatter ourselves that we may ever see it? |
5665 | question, after my son has been with you alone in your chamber? |
5665 | replied I; â � � did not you tell me the other day, that he sat down before your window when you opened it to water your flower- pot? |
5665 | replied Scheich Ibrahim--"Sherbet? |
5665 | replied Scheich Ibrahim;"who are you, and whence came you?" |
5665 | replied Schemselnihar,"You, who know the cause of my tears, have you no pity for my unfortunate condition? |
5665 | replied he,"is that wretch still living? |
5665 | replied the gardener:"do you imagine I will take these riches as mine? |
5665 | replied the vizier,"could you think me capable of being so extremely afflicted at losing ten thousand pieces of gold? |
5665 | said I,"will you have done, and begin to shave me?" |
5665 | said he,"I thought the rats and mice ate my butter and tallow; but it is you who come down the chimney to rob me? |
5665 | said he,"Scheich Ibrahim, have I caught you at last? |
5665 | said he,"is it thus that a Christian dares to assassinate a Mussulmaun?" |
5665 | said she,"what is the meaning of this? |
5665 | said the caliph to him:"who are these people that have presumed to take the liberty of diverting themselves in my garden and pavilion? |
5665 | said the prince,"do you not awake at these testimonies of love?" |
5665 | said they to them;"do you not see that one is a vizier, the other a vizier''s son? |
5665 | was there ever a greater resemblance?" |
5665 | whom dost thou look after?" |
5665 | you bring me the news of my son''s death?" |
5665 | â � � Do you believe,''said she, â � � that the hopes of seeing me would at all contribute to rescue him from his danger?'' |
5665 | â � � Has he actually no other disorder than what is occasioned by his love of me?'' |
5665 | â � � How?'' |
5665 | â � � Is your account true?'' |
5665 | â � � My good mother,''demanded she â � � what is the matter with you, why are you so cast down?'' |
5665 | â � � Why would you require of me,''said she, with a profound sigh, â � � to renew my grief? |
36301 | ''But pray inform me, my lord and master, when and how I have given you any cause of complaint? 36301 ''But, my child,''said the king,''if by chance some one should present himself, and reply to your questions?'' |
36301 | ''What has happened?'' 36301 ''What is the matter, my dear husband? |
36301 | ''What is the matter? 36301 ''_ Do_ I love him?'' |
36301 | Ah, my lord,said he,"where are we, and to what state am I reduced?" |
36301 | Ah,cried he,"weak worms, what have you presumed to do? |
36301 | And pray,I asked in reply,"what are you doing at Candahar, and why have you left the court of Persia? |
36301 | And the others,replied Hadgi- Achmet;"couldst not thou, if necessary, dispose of them, and buy others with the price?" |
36301 | And thou, woman,said the dey,"dost thou still maintain that thy husband leaves thee in want of nourishment?" |
36301 | And who lives,I asked,"in the palace at the end of the plain?" |
36301 | Are there not, then, many honest men who are no richer than myself? |
36301 | Art thou poor? |
36301 | But tell me,returned Lin- pao,"why do n''t you still wear a white head- dress? |
36301 | But thou,rejoined Selim,"if thou hadst aught to give away, what wouldst thou do?" |
36301 | But, madam,I replied,"why give way to such gloomy presentiments at the very time when your presence brings me such delight?" |
36301 | But,resumed king Bahaman,"night is coming on, and still the king of the genii does not appear; can he have forsaken us?" |
36301 | By what means,he said,"can any person, however ingenious and daring, enter this fortress? |
36301 | Can any man on earth do this? |
36301 | Can she wish to be an eye- witness of my death, and does she desire to have me assassinated before the eyes of her father? 36301 Can these things be removed?" |
36301 | Can you propose to us that we should live at the expense of your liberty? 36301 Do they not already kill each other by sea and by land?" |
36301 | Do what you like,replied the king;"but what answer shall we send the caliph?" |
36301 | Do you know,he said,"that a subject who has the audacity to lie to his master merits death?" |
36301 | Do you mean to say that all men have some secret anxiety preying on their minds, because you appear in that state? 36301 Do you see all these bones?" |
36301 | Does that prove that it would be wrong to do so? |
36301 | Dost thou require much? |
36301 | Father,said Haroun,"is it true that there is in this city a young man called Aboulcassem, who surpasses even kings in magnificence and generosity?" |
36301 | From what country do you come? |
36301 | Has any misfortune happened to you? |
36301 | Has your life returned to you? |
36301 | Have you also a place where I can put my horse? |
36301 | Have you ever heard of this unfortunate El Kattab before? |
36301 | How is it,replied Khalaf,"that she is such a source of grief to him?" |
36301 | How is it,said the prince, raising him, and placing him on a sofa,"that you are still alive? |
36301 | How much do you ask? |
36301 | I asked you,said Tourandocte,"what tree is that whose leaves are white on one side and black on the other?" |
36301 | I thought that no plant was ever to be found on those mountain tops covered with perpetual snow and frost? |
36301 | I will suppose that I may enjoy the longest of lives, a hundred years for example, thinkest thou I shall live yet longer? |
36301 | I? 36301 If I am not more successful than this,"thought he,"how am I to support my father and mother?" |
36301 | If I made the fortune of my son, instead of that of my friend,said he at length to himself,"should I be guilty? |
36301 | In this wall? |
36301 | Is it then true,exclaimed the caliph,"that the happiness of all is a dream? |
36301 | Is not your name Aswad? |
36301 | Is this young prince mad,they whispered one to another,"to risk the loss of that for which he perilled his life? |
36301 | It is something, nevertheless,replied Selim,"and wilt thou tell me what is necessary to be done, in order to add fifty years to one''s existence?" |
36301 | It may be; but will it be good in practice? 36301 Merciful Heaven,"cried Khalaf, when he recovered from his stupefaction,"did I hear aright? |
36301 | Must I believe,said he,"what I have just heard? |
36301 | My dear friend,said he,"how old is your son?" |
36301 | My father,cried he,"is it so indeed? |
36301 | My lord,replied Tourandocte,"why do you think that I shall not be able to reply to the question of this prince? |
36301 | My lord,said she,"what is it you propose to your daughter? |
36301 | My lord,said she,"whence this violent transport which agitates you, and what do those words mean which you have just spoken?" |
36301 | My thought is a good one then? |
36301 | Of what use is our flight? |
36301 | Of what use will thy doubloons be to thee when thou art dead? 36301 On what dost thou muse?" |
36301 | Poor creature,said Medjeddin,"what is the matter? |
36301 | Prince,I said to him,"could you possibly think that I would refuse to help you in the embarrassing situation in which you were placed on my account? |
36301 | Prince,said he,"have you reflected upon the words which have just escaped your lips?" |
36301 | Prince,said he,"why did you not come at once to me? |
36301 | The prince Mesoud? |
36301 | Then thou desirest not to prolong thy days upon the earth? 36301 Then thou wilt not consent to give me the third of what I know to be here, hidden though it may be?" |
36301 | Then why not diminish thy transactions, and live in peace? |
36301 | Thou wouldst change the order of things, the whole course of nature? |
36301 | Well then,said Tourandocte,"tell me what creature is that which belongs to every land, is a friend to the whole world, and will not brook an equal?" |
36301 | Well, and the result? |
36301 | Well, my daughter,he said,"have you seen the treasure?" |
36301 | Well, my lord,said Zemroude,"do you think the cadi has much reason to be satisfied with his work? |
36301 | Well, prince,began Altoun- Khan,"am I to rejoice or grieve at your presence here to- day? |
36301 | Well,he continued,"since you knew that, why have you committed the greatest of all crimes?" |
36301 | Well,said Selim,"what has befallen thee? |
36301 | Well,said the Jew,"what sayest thou? |
36301 | Well,said the monarch,"have you done what I commanded you?" |
36301 | What ails you, madam? |
36301 | What am I about to do? |
36301 | What can be the design of the princess? |
36301 | What can be the reason, my angel,said he,"that your father prevents your marrying? |
36301 | What crime have I committed? |
36301 | What do you say, my son? |
36301 | What do you say, my son? |
36301 | What have you done, my lord? |
36301 | What is it, madam? |
36301 | What is it? 36301 What is that mother,"resumed the princess,"who, after having brought her children into the world, devours them when they are grown up?" |
36301 | What is the matter, my lord? |
36301 | What man,said he,"is entirely master over his own thoughts? |
36301 | What matters it,I said,"whether I die of thirst or of poison?" |
36301 | What obligations am I not under to you? |
36301 | What on earth is all this to end in? |
36301 | What profits it to meditate so deeply upon a thing which all the reflections of man can not change? |
36301 | What sayest thou? |
36301 | What sayst thou? |
36301 | What was his name? |
36301 | What wilt thou do to effect my cure? |
36301 | What, now, fakir,asked I,"do you view my happy condition with chagrin? |
36301 | What,exclaimed Medjeddin in astonishment,"in his pocket!--how can that be?" |
36301 | What,he asked,"was the colour of the girdle which contained your money, and of what material was it made?" |
36301 | Who is the man of whom you make this complaint? |
36301 | Why am I still in the world? |
36301 | Why have you treated my nightingale thus? 36301 Why should you be afraid to tell them? |
36301 | Why then,said the vizir,"did you pretend not to know him at Ormus?" |
36301 | Why,asked Bahaman, when his enemy was brought before him,"why have you advanced into my dominions against all right and reason? |
36301 | Will I tell thee? |
36301 | With whom dost thou decree that Ormed shall remain? 36301 Wretch,"said the cadi,"what dost thou take me for? |
36301 | You are in a great hurry,she remarked;"what can it be that obliges you to walk so fast?" |
36301 | ''Am I just made a bridegroom, clothed in silk, wearing a shawl and a dagger set with diamonds, and am I to go and shut the door? |
36301 | ''Do you ask whether the ant beneath your feet has a right to complain? |
36301 | ''What signifies it, whether we die in a stable or on a throne? |
36301 | A neighbour, who heard me calling out in an agony of despair, opened her door, and said to me,"Hassan Abdallah, is that you? |
36301 | And do you seriously think of carrying it into effect?" |
36301 | And what does he give me in return? |
36301 | And why? |
36301 | Are they not creditable to you?" |
36301 | Are we the first princes whom the rod of justice has struck? |
36301 | Are we to become the object of the inquiries and suspicions of the police?" |
36301 | Are you a beggar, and do you need any gift? |
36301 | Are you now in a fit state to resist all attempts to make you disclose your secret? |
36301 | Are you strong enough to support the highest joy that your heart can feel or conceive?" |
36301 | Art thou content?" |
36301 | As I concealed the clothes, he said to me,"My brother, what have you got there hid under your cloak?" |
36301 | Aswad, where was your discretion? |
36301 | At length the lady Wang went to the door, and standing behind it without opening it, asked,"Who is knocking there, and making such a disturbance?" |
36301 | At these words Firouzshah appeared thunderstruck, and then addressing Zelica, he inquired,"Who then is the prince who is your father?" |
36301 | At these words Yang at first appeared confused, and changed colour; then, assuming a more confident expression,"What are you thinking of?" |
36301 | Besides, how do you know that I shall not be able to reply to her questions? |
36301 | But I ask you, princess, ought I thus to steal away from Altoun- Khan? |
36301 | But come, hast thou decided? |
36301 | But dost thou not see that it is wise to be at peace with thy brother, and that to obtain this peace there is no sacrifice too great? |
36301 | But has he got a son? |
36301 | But how is a private individual able to make such presents? |
36301 | But in what did his riches consist? |
36301 | But speak, what is the cause of your affliction?" |
36301 | But tell me how is it? |
36301 | But what could I do in my cage? |
36301 | But what do I say? |
36301 | But what had become of the inhabitants? |
36301 | But what profit would this be to me?" |
36301 | But who can say or know what is really a good or an evil? |
36301 | But who shall describe her ecstasies of joy when her son was presented to her? |
36301 | But why wish to purchase me? |
36301 | By what good luck do I find you here?" |
36301 | By what scourge had they been cut off, or what reason had induced them to quit so beautiful a city? |
36301 | Can I refuse to obey it?" |
36301 | Can he have changed his mind, and issued the order for my death?" |
36301 | Can she carry her cruelty thus far? |
36301 | Can the death of the princess Zelica have driven you away as it did me?" |
36301 | Can the king be an accomplice in the deed? |
36301 | Can you be sure that I shall not be able to answer the questions that may be put to me? |
36301 | Can you tell me where the sheik Hassan Abdallah, the son of El- Achaar, resides in the city?" |
36301 | Can you tell me why this street is so quiet, as though every inhabitant were dead?" |
36301 | Conducting me into a very elegant apartment, he asked me,"What is your name?" |
36301 | Do you call it_ possessing_ a treasure if it must not be touched? |
36301 | Do you know the peril to which you may expose her? |
36301 | Do you love Aswad sufficiently to make so great a sacrifice?'' |
36301 | Do you really believe this to be the truth?" |
36301 | Do you take me for a dishonest man, or imagine that my purse is empty?" |
36301 | Do you think I shall soon spend all this?" |
36301 | Do you think me so unjust, that I shall take it from you?" |
36301 | Do you think to impose upon me? |
36301 | Do you wish to see us die with hunger?" |
36301 | Does he imagine he can propose a question that will be too difficult for Tourandocte to solve? |
36301 | Does it depend upon men themselves to be happy or unhappy? |
36301 | Dost thou dare thus to treat me who have it in my power to revenge myself on my enemies; me who, when I please, can put the like of thee in fetters? |
36301 | Exerting all her ingenuity, she next asked,"What tree is that whose leaves are white on one side and black on the other?" |
36301 | Hadgi- Achmet turned to the other brother:"Farzan, canst thou not yield to thy brother the amulet he wishes to possess?" |
36301 | Hadgi- Achmet, addressing himself to Chamyl, said,"In what does thy fortune consist?" |
36301 | Haroun was offended at this, and said to himself,"What does all this mean? |
36301 | Hast thou not children, and are not children much dearer than a friend?" |
36301 | Have I said or done any thing to cause your tears to flow? |
36301 | He asked her a thousand questions; what were the customs of the inhabitants of the city? |
36301 | He is now at hand: does your majesty wish him to be introduced to your presence?" |
36301 | He then proceeded to relate to him the events of his journey, and ended by asking,"Giafar, what shall I do? |
36301 | Here are the twenty täels that my friend Tchin has given me; can I do better than employ them towards the maintenance of some virtuous bonzes? |
36301 | How can I be sufficiently grateful for so many favours? |
36301 | How could she conceive so base a project?" |
36301 | How long ago was it inhabited? |
36301 | How much dost thou demand for thy reward?" |
36301 | How ought I to distribute the half of my large fortune?" |
36301 | How then can I surpass him in generosity?" |
36301 | I am also informed that you keep concealed at home a daughter of an age to marry; is that true?" |
36301 | I am suddenly become very rich, as thou knowest, and I have no son to inherit my wealth; is it not too great for a single solitary man? |
36301 | I could explain to you all these mysteries; but to what purpose? |
36301 | I have not wherewith to continue my journey to that town, will you be so charitable as to lend me three täels? |
36301 | I said, weeping,"is this indeed a thing so easy for me? |
36301 | I thought; can this be some new misfortune that has befallen me? |
36301 | I told you a thousand times that she would not suit you; you would not believe-- whose fault is it?" |
36301 | If God has the power to pluck off crowns, has He not also the power to restore them? |
36301 | If I cure thee what will be my profit? |
36301 | If there were any intention of making you marry again, do you think there would be any difficulty? |
36301 | If this business is hurried on, how shall I be able to inform them of it? |
36301 | If thou discoverest another still more marvellous, thou wilt give it me, at least for my own use, wilt thou not?" |
36301 | If you did not wish him to live, why did you restore him to life?" |
36301 | In a word, is he a man to whose interests I could worthily attach myself?" |
36301 | In what way dost thou consider it would be most desirable to employ this wealth?" |
36301 | Is he afraid I want him to make me a present? |
36301 | Is he generous, and do you think that he would pay any regard to a young stranger, who might offer to serve him against his enemies? |
36301 | Is it not Allah that spins the thread of our destiny? |
36301 | Is it not also true that the king himself used all his endeavours to dissuade you from your rash resolution?" |
36301 | Is it not in hopes of making them more happy that I am about to expose my life? |
36301 | Is it possible that it is you I have met here?" |
36301 | Is it possible that the princess of China could be guilty of such an atrocious attempt? |
36301 | Is it the secret of making gold?" |
36301 | Is it thus that you show the submission you owe to the decrees of Heaven? |
36301 | Is not a son nearer and dearer than all the friends in the world? |
36301 | Is not this unexpected good fortune, a blessing from Heaven? |
36301 | Is the question the prince has proposed so difficult, that you can not answer it? |
36301 | Is your majesty quite contented?" |
36301 | It is of no use to say to a poor man like me,''To whom wouldst thou give thy money?'' |
36301 | May I be so bold in return to inquire to whom I have the honour of speaking?" |
36301 | Merciful Heaven, is it the lot of all those who look upon this portrait to become enamoured of this inhuman princess? |
36301 | My dear bird, my little husband, why art thou taken from, me so soon? |
36301 | Nevertheless, I desire not to sell the powder, but may I bestow it, and at once, upon one or two men whom I esteem highly?" |
36301 | Of what account are fifty years added to sixty or eighty, soon to be over for me? |
36301 | Of what avail is it that these walls are built of precious stones? |
36301 | Of what benefit would money got by such means be to me?" |
36301 | Of what have I been guilty?'' |
36301 | On my way to the palace I said to myself,"Firouzshah has no doubt discovered my correspondence with Zelica; but how can he have learned it?" |
36301 | On the sixteenth day my guest, after chatting on indifferent matters, said to me,"Hassan, would you like to sell yourself to me?" |
36301 | Ought you to have feared an ungracious reception? |
36301 | Possessed of gold, what can we not enjoy? |
36301 | Pray what are the contents of this chest?" |
36301 | Regrettest thou what has been taken from thy shop? |
36301 | Shall I succeed in my purpose? |
36301 | Since this prince has answered your questions satisfactorily, I ask all this assembly if it is not right that you should become his wife?" |
36301 | Speak, and reply exactly and truly to my questions:--When you came to Candahar, were you not told that I was a severe punisher of criminals?" |
36301 | Tchin thought to himself,"Where should I find a man of such probity as Lin- in? |
36301 | The book of wisdom is now useless; what man is there who does not think himself wise?" |
36301 | The khan then said to him,"Thou appearest to be a stranger amongst us; where wast thou born, and what is thy profession?" |
36301 | The king then said,"Who are you? |
36301 | The officer, at these words, regarding him with astonishment, said to him,"Prince, do you know that you come to seek death? |
36301 | Then he said,"Mahmoud, dost thou declare that thou affordest sufficient nourishment to thy wife?" |
36301 | There, near the Indies, is a high mountain, Mount Himalaya-- dost thou not know it?" |
36301 | Thy wife and thy sons, are they ill? |
36301 | To live fifty years longer than usual, what is that?" |
36301 | We are too fortunate not to be molested by these monsters; why should we go in search of them?" |
36301 | What alarm can all the princes of the world, to say nothing of Cacem, occasion to the father- in- law of the king of the genii? |
36301 | What am I to think? |
36301 | What are you come to tell me?'' |
36301 | What can detain her so long at her father''s? |
36301 | What can have happened? |
36301 | What can his motive be?" |
36301 | What certainty have you that I shall perish? |
36301 | What clothes are these you appear in? |
36301 | What could he intend to do? |
36301 | What good would that do? |
36301 | What has happened? |
36301 | What has taken place?'' |
36301 | What have I done to deserve such punishment from Heaven?" |
36301 | What injury shall I do him by taking the chandelier? |
36301 | What is the good of throwing oneself into the water before the ship is really going to pieces?" |
36301 | What is your determination?" |
36301 | What king could have possessed such riches? |
36301 | What man would not be terrified at the condition without which he can not hope to obtain her? |
36301 | What precious stones do you speak of that we have belonging to you?" |
36301 | What prince would be mad enough to face such danger?'' |
36301 | What provocation have I given you for making war against me?" |
36301 | What shall I write to the caliph?" |
36301 | What tongue can express to you the gratitude I feel for so great an honour? |
36301 | What will be his grief when he knows that he has conferred such a benefit upon his enemy? |
36301 | What would he think of me? |
36301 | When I related the strange proposal of my guest, my mother said,"What can this man want to do with you?" |
36301 | When she confesses to you that you are dear to her, how will you receive such a glorious avowal? |
36301 | When the Arab saw me, he said,"Is this what you promised me? |
36301 | When they arrived, he said to them,"What were you disputing about, my friends, when I passed you?" |
36301 | Where would it be possible for her to meet with one more perfectly worthy of her?" |
36301 | Who are you who can promise this?" |
36301 | Who are you?" |
36301 | Why do you not show me your treasure? |
36301 | Why give way to this transport of fury? |
36301 | Why have you risked the danger of losing the object of your love?" |
36301 | Why have you torn me away from my poor but peaceful home?" |
36301 | Why is it that he is now the fortunate owner of this treasure of treasures? |
36301 | Why not therefore endeavour to prolong thine own? |
36301 | Why persevere in the pursuit of an inhuman creature whom thou wilt never be able to obtain? |
36301 | Why was it ordained that you should come to lodge in my house? |
36301 | Why will you not do it yourself? |
36301 | Why, have I often asked myself, should our lives be shorter than those of an oak of the forests, of a serpent, or even of a vulture?" |
36301 | Will you become one of our fraternity? |
36301 | Will your love for me hold out against the honour of having the affections of the first princess in the world?" |
36301 | Wilt thou enter into partnership with me?" |
36301 | Would it not be better to keep this treasure for thyself and for thy sons? |
36301 | Would they not kill each other for want of room?" |
36301 | added he,"what will be thy grief when thou shalt be told of the extraordinary death of thy son? |
36301 | and who shall dare to carry thee the news?" |
36301 | are you ill?" |
36301 | art thou sick, or dost thou return to me perishing of hunger?" |
36301 | asked I;"of what am I accused?" |
36301 | charming Tourandocte,"hereupon cried the prince of the Nagäis,"is it possible that you entertain such favourable sentiments towards me? |
36301 | cried he;"ought I to disclose to my eyes so dangerous an object? |
36301 | cried she,"by what good fortune did you recover our dear child, whom I thought we had lost for ever?" |
36301 | cried the physician of Tunis,"is not life preferable to all the riches in the world? |
36301 | cruel daughter of the best of kings, is it thus that you abuse the gifts with which Heaven has endowed you? |
36301 | eagerly asked the widow,"what enterprise are you so rashly planning? |
36301 | exclaimed the Arab;"are you not Hassan Abdallah, and can you send away your guest by concealing your name?" |
36301 | exclaimed the cadi,"is it possible to marry such a monster as that?" |
36301 | exclaimed the lady,"whither does your love carry you? |
36301 | have I lied to thee, or deceived myself? |
36301 | have you become so much altered in the course of so few years? |
36301 | have you discovered any thing?'' |
36301 | have you found any thing? |
36301 | have you left off mourning?" |
36301 | have you then killed and robbed some one? |
36301 | he cried,"what are you doing? |
36301 | he replied, eyeing them with a threatening aspect,"what will you say, when I show you a certificate from the cadi of Ormus, proving the contrary?" |
36301 | he said,"is it to you I owe my life?" |
36301 | how can I escape his snares? |
36301 | how couldst thou confer on this barbarous princess so much beauty, or why adorn so inhuman a soul with so many charms?" |
36301 | how did you learn to break my charm in this manner? |
36301 | how has the time passed with you since our last interview?" |
36301 | how is it that you have told what I wished to conceal, if it were possible, even from myself? |
36301 | how many families Pekin was said to contain? |
36301 | how was it possible for him to get into my room? |
36301 | is not this street lonely enough, that you can not hold your discourse aloud? |
36301 | is that you, my eldest brother? |
36301 | must I confess it, cruel though the princess of China be, I could never find in my foolish heart to hate her? |
36301 | my dear child,"said he, patronizingly,"of what service can I be to you?" |
36301 | oh, king of the world, was it you who honoured your slave''s house?" |
36301 | resumed Tchin;"where else should I find such honesty and generosity?" |
36301 | said Aboulcassem,"is it possible so unworthy and cruel a father possesses such a daughter?" |
36301 | said I to myself;"and by whose orders can it be that this eunuch treats me in such a manner?" |
36301 | said I,"what is the nature of the secret? |
36301 | said Yousouf,"art thou mad? |
36301 | said he to himself,"how is this, that the cadi, my greatest enemy, is become so civil to me to- day? |
36301 | said he,"if I die, what will become of my father and mother?" |
36301 | said he,"what are you doing? |
36301 | said she;"what causes you to be thus agitated?" |
36301 | said the young man much surprised;"why this sudden grief? |
36301 | shall I receive from him such an act of kindness, and not be able to repay him? |
36301 | she asked,"and what fancies have you got into your head? |
36301 | she exclaimed,"what is the meaning of this change, and what has that man been saying to you?" |
36301 | she exclaimed;''am I, young, robed in a satin dress, with lace and precious stones, am I to go and shut the court- yard door? |
36301 | she said,"do you still bring back this basket? |
36301 | that this lattice is of fine gold, that this cage is of gold, and hangs on a golden chain? |
36301 | that what is joy to one, may be the cause of grief to another? |
36301 | what am I, and what have I done to deserve the honour of being your father- in- law?" |
36301 | what has Aswad done more than other men to deserve such an accumulation of good fortune?" |
36301 | what sayst thou?" |
36301 | what will become of us? |
36301 | where is your sister- in- law?" |
36301 | where? |
36301 | who are you, and where do you come from? |
36301 | who bid you destroy the cage?" |
36301 | who can foresee the consequences of things? |
36301 | why did I speak of Tourandocte? |
36301 | why had my master not my eyes when he took thee into his hands? |
36301 | why will they not leave me to live in peace without making attempts on my liberty? |
36301 | with his adopted or with his real father?" |
36301 | with the genius and penetration you possess, can you not accomplish it?" |
36301 | you say the enchanter brings his hateful son with him-- why, then, have I never seen him?" |
8656 | And dost thou know Sherkan? |
8656 | And how did the holy man reach you? |
8656 | And how much wilt thou give me for her? |
8656 | And what can this irk thee,rejoined she,"seeing thou knowest the cock''s craft, of which I told thee?" |
8656 | And what didst thou see in thy dream, O King of the age? |
8656 | And what is in this cauldron? |
8656 | And what is it the cock does? |
8656 | And what is the meaning of her signs? |
8656 | And what,rejoined the Khalif,"should Omar know of their case?" |
8656 | And who is she? |
8656 | And who is the most foolish of mankind? |
8656 | And who should have her but I? |
8656 | Can I look to enter the sea, without wetting my clothes? |
8656 | Canst thou not go in to them and guard thyself from loving them? |
8656 | Did she then know of us? |
8656 | Dost thou ask what is my name now,said she,"or what it was formerly?" |
8656 | Dost thou wish to destroy thyself? |
8656 | For what dost thou sigh? |
8656 | Hast thou not had enough of wrestling, O conquered one? |
8656 | Hast thou not seen this holy man excite the faithful to battle, recking nought of spears and swords? 8656 Hast thou requited him his kindness to thee?" |
8656 | Hast thou then two names? |
8656 | How can we beat thee,replied they,"who art our sovereign lady and mother of the supreme King?" |
8656 | How could this traitress impose upon us twice? |
8656 | How so? |
8656 | How so? |
8656 | How so? |
8656 | How so? |
8656 | In what house is he imprisoned? |
8656 | In what respect? |
8656 | O Kings of the age,said he,"if I tell you a rare story, will you pardon me?" |
8656 | O holy man,said Behram,"when didst thou leave them?" |
8656 | O holy man,said they,"didst thou not hear us weeping round thee?" |
8656 | O my cousin,said I,"what shall I do? |
8656 | O my friend, who hath made thee Sultan? |
8656 | O my lady,answered he,"how should one not be beaten, who plays with the like of thee?" |
8656 | O my lord,replied the stoker,"how can I let thee go alone, and thou a young lad and a stranger? |
8656 | O my lord,replied the stoker,"said I not I feared thou wouldst not choose to grant me what I should ask or be not able thereto?" |
8656 | O noble princess and unpeered pearl,replied the knight their chief,"dost thou know who is this man with thee?" |
8656 | O thou that answerest my complaint and wouldst know my history,rejoined the other,"who art thou amongst the cavaliers? |
8656 | Six days''journey,answered the stoker"Wilt thou send me thither?" |
8656 | They are all well,answered the prince;"but who brought thee tidings of us?" |
8656 | Verily, he is a friend of God,said Sherkan;"but where is he now?" |
8656 | What ails these children that they weep? |
8656 | What hath befallen thee? |
8656 | What is it, O Commander of the Faithful? |
8656 | What is it? |
8656 | What is it? |
8656 | What is that, O King of the age? |
8656 | What is that? |
8656 | What is the cause of thy vow? |
8656 | What is the history of this letter? |
8656 | What is the use of my eyes,rejoined Thabit,"if they do not weep?" |
8656 | What is thy name? |
8656 | What is thy sister''s name? |
8656 | What regret is that, O my father? |
8656 | What then dost thou purpose to do? |
8656 | What was it that ye won? |
8656 | Whence comest thou and whither art thou bound? |
8656 | Who art thou? |
8656 | Who art thou? |
8656 | Who is he? |
8656 | Who is thy father, O thou that hast no( known) mother? |
8656 | Who sleeps in this unmarked grave? |
8656 | Who then was it? |
8656 | Why is thy writing thus,my lover said to me,"Attenuate and small, uneath to read and ill?" |
8656 | Why then,said she,"should he undertake the governance of the people''s affairs and yet be unmindful of them?" |
8656 | Wilt thou bear my burden for me on the Day of Resurrection? |
8656 | [ FN#27] When the merchant heard this, his eyes filled with tears, and he said to her,Hast thou not a sick brother?" |
8656 | ''After awhile,''say they; and I,''Who will ensure me life, O fools, until the hands of grief their grip of me release?'' |
8656 | ''And how dost thou,''said the Khalif,''when thou goest in to thy chiefs?'' |
8656 | ''And how, when thou goest in to thine equals?'' |
8656 | ''And how,''asked the Khalif,''dost thou when thou hast a mind to lie with her?'' |
8656 | ''And what was this dream?'' |
8656 | ''And whither wilt thou go?'' |
8656 | ''How dost thou with thy wife?'' |
8656 | ''How so?'' |
8656 | ''How wilt thou go to her?'' |
8656 | ''How,''asked the Khalif,''dost thou carry thyself, when thou goest in to the common folk of thy tribe?'' |
8656 | ''O my lord,''rejoined the other,''what is that?'' |
8656 | ''Shall I haggle with the like of thee about this paltry price?'' |
8656 | ''What is in the letter,''asked the old woman,''to trouble thy heart and move thine anger thus? |
8656 | ''What is this dog,''replied the old woman,''that he should conceive hopes of thee?'' |
8656 | ''What is thy counsel to thyself?'' |
8656 | ''What is thy wage?'' |
8656 | ''What stuffs has thou brought with thee? |
8656 | ''What then wouldst thou have, O light of my eyes and fruit of my entrails?'' |
8656 | ''When is our meeting to be?'' |
8656 | ''Whither shall I flee,''asked the King,''and where is that I must seek?'' |
8656 | ''Who is he?'' |
8656 | ''Why dost thou weep?'' |
8656 | ''Yes,''replied the King, and the other said,''Dost thou judge thy present state to be temporary or enduring?'' |
8656 | ''[ FN#10] So how canst thou speak thus to me? |
8656 | A little after thy departure, fortune came to me: so now wilt thou go with me and work thine intent in my company and journey with me in this desert?" |
8656 | Ah, who shall give me back the abode of my belov''d, wherein The Age''s Joy[FN#63] and Place''s Light[FN#64] erst dwelt in peace and bliss? |
8656 | And I said to her,"What is the meaning of the two words she taught me?" |
8656 | And I,"Can one consoled for country be?" |
8656 | And I,''O thou that blamest me, whence should I patience get?'' |
8656 | And Othman said,''Where wilt thou find the like of Omar?'' |
8656 | And doth not this suffice you, but ye must adventure yourselves and give us such words as these? |
8656 | And she began to pour water on him, weeping, till he revived, and seeing her in tears, said to her,''O Fatimeh, why dost thou weep?'' |
8656 | And she buffeted her face, saying,''What have we done that we should come in converse with shopkeepers? |
8656 | And she was wroth with him and said,"What words are these? |
8656 | And the sixth,''When shall the day betide of meeting for us twain? |
8656 | Are they living, I wonder, or dead? |
8656 | Art thou a man or a genie? |
8656 | Art thou not ashamed to say to me,''O damsel''? |
8656 | Art thou not glad and easeful and blest with happy life, Whilst I, for thee, an exile from folk and country stray? |
8656 | Art thou, then, minded to him as he to thee?'' |
8656 | As for anecdotes of devotees( continued the maiden), quoth Hisham ben Besher,"I said to Omar ben Ubeid,''What is true devoutness?'' |
8656 | At this Kanmakan smiled and answered,"Why should I turn my back for thee? |
8656 | Azizeh, seeing me, raised her head and sat up and said,"O Aziz, didst thou repeat the verse to her?" |
8656 | Being asked the reason of this, he replied,"Do ye not know before whom I stand and to whom I address myself?" |
8656 | But I fear lest the King take thee to wife, for he loves thee and I saw in him signs of desire for thee: so what wilt thou say, if he wish this?" |
8656 | But canst thou endure the parting from thy father and thy folk?" |
8656 | But he refused and the young man said to him,"What ails thee, O man, that thou wilt not eat?" |
8656 | But what manner of man art thou?" |
8656 | But what would Butheineh have done with him that he says,''Thou wishest to kill me and nought else?''" |
8656 | But where am I now?" |
8656 | Can it be that their life''s race is run? |
8656 | Come ye as guests or are you minded to cut and thrust? |
8656 | Did I not tell thee that lying is shameful?" |
8656 | Did ever any of a moon get union and liesse? |
8656 | Did it not suffice thee to take my kingdom and that of my father, but thou must go about to kill me?" |
8656 | Did not what I endured suffice, but thou must depart from the place of my abiding? |
8656 | Did they fail of respect to the holy man or disobey him, or what?" |
8656 | Didst thou not give me a jewel and say to me,''This jewel was thy father''s''? |
8656 | Do ye think to escape out of our hands and return to your country?" |
8656 | Do you remember aught that the poets have said in praise of the bath?'' |
8656 | Dost thou bandy words with me? |
8656 | Dost thou not know that pride angers the Lord and hardens the heart and brings men to the fire?'' |
8656 | Doth it contain a complaint of oppression or demand for the price of the stuff?'' |
8656 | Doth she o''the anklets hold me in mind, whilst far away, Though between me and Saada were solemn vows and dear? |
8656 | For already I feel the pangs of labour, and if I abide other four or five days, I shall be brought to bed here, and how then can I go to my country? |
8656 | Full fain would I forget her; but how can I forget, When for desire my patience is wasted all away? |
8656 | Hast thou any more?" |
8656 | He blessed her and they sat talking awhile, till she said to him,"Knowest thou aught touching lovers and slaves of passion?" |
8656 | He gave not over laughing for some time and saying to himself,''What ails them to bespeak me as if I were a Vizier and style me"Master"and"our lord"? |
8656 | Her grief became known and all the people of the town and country wept with her and said,"Where is thine eye, O Zoulmekan?" |
8656 | How can I win to join them, since that the ways with wars Are blocked and the gate of succour is barred with many a chain?'' |
8656 | How can he dare to use such language to me and not dread the Sultan''s wrath? |
8656 | How can thy cousin be a king''s daughter? |
8656 | How comes it that thou art thus afflicted with love of this young man? |
8656 | How comes it your memory maketh the fire in my heart to rage? |
8656 | How couldst thou leave the daughter of thine uncle in ill case and not ask what ailed her?" |
8656 | How darest thou demand this of me, O son of shame and nursling of lewdness? |
8656 | How didst thou pass the night, O hero, after we went away and left thee? |
8656 | How dost thou?" |
8656 | How is it with the Muslims?" |
8656 | How long shall I be tender to her, despite my pain? |
8656 | How long shall she ride roughshod o''er my weakness night and day? |
8656 | How many have fallen to thy spear?" |
8656 | How shall I be consoled for thee, and thou a sapling slight? |
8656 | How should I do what thou sayest, when I know that, if I came to thy King Omar ben Ennuman, I should never win free of him? |
8656 | How then dar''st thou hope my favours and aspire to twinned delight And my spear- straight shape and slender in thine arms to girdle sigh? |
8656 | How well says the poet: Wherewith shall I be comforted, that am of all bereft, To whom nor folk nor home nor friend nor dwelling- place is left?" |
8656 | How, then, must it be with one from whom thou hast been absent a whole year, and I knew thee before she did? |
8656 | I did so; and behold a black eunuch put out his head through the wicket and said,"O elder, is there any one with thee?" |
8656 | I refused it, but she said to me,"Didst thou not promise to do my bidding? |
8656 | I thought them to be dogs, for I had never before seen wolves; so I said to the shepherd,"What dost thou with these dogs?" |
8656 | I was abashed at her words and said,"Is that the cock''s business?" |
8656 | I wonder, is the damsel still in her old case? |
8656 | I wondered at this and said to her,"What then didst thou purpose to do with me, and we lovers?" |
8656 | If I say to Butheineh,"What is this love, that eateth my life away?" |
8656 | If he say to you,''What profit had ye of your commerce in the land of the Greeks?'' |
8656 | Is the indweller of the tomb the hostage of a pit, In which, for that his face is there, splendour and light abide? |
8656 | Is there no equity in thee? |
8656 | Is this forbidden to us?" |
8656 | Is''t thus with each lover remembers a dear one far away? |
8656 | It is no fault of mine: didst thou not bid me ask some considerable thing? |
8656 | It was asked of Abou Hazim,[FN#86]"Who is the most fortunate of men?" |
8656 | It was asked of a certain wise man,"Who is the most ill- conditioned of men?" |
8656 | Knowst thou not that a neighbour has a claim upon his neighbour, even as the right of kindred?" |
8656 | Liar that thou art, why didst thou tell me that thou knewest not who it was, when it was thy companion? |
8656 | Nor was it long before he left him also drowned in his blood and cried out,''Who will come out to me?'' |
8656 | O my son, from what land shall I call thee? |
8656 | O soft- shining lightnings, tell me true, Are the days of happiness past fore''er? |
8656 | One day, Kuzia Fekan took her aside and said to her,"Alas, my aunt, how is it with thy son?" |
8656 | One night, as he lay awake, he communed with himself and said,"Why should I keep silence, till I consume away, and see not my love? |
8656 | Presently the Vizier said to the gardener,''Tell me about this garden: is it thine or dost thou rent it?'' |
8656 | Presently the stoker came in and seeing him sitting up and showing signs of amendment, said to him,"How dost thou now, O my son?" |
8656 | Presently, Sherkan turned to his brother Zoulmekan and said to him"My brother, how shall we get free?" |
8656 | Presently, he turned and said to me,''Dost thou want aught?'' |
8656 | Presently, her husband entered and seeing her feeding him, sat down at his head and said to him,"How is it with thee now, O my son?" |
8656 | Quoth Dendan,"See ye not yon other man that is before us?" |
8656 | Quoth I,"Can wolves be with sheep and not hurt them?" |
8656 | Quoth I,''What is secret hypocrisy?'' |
8656 | Quoth Ibrahim to Shekic,''What is your fashion in your country?'' |
8656 | Quoth Mohammed ben Amran,"A man once asked of Hatim el Asemm[FN#89],''What maketh thee to trust in God?'' |
8656 | Quoth Sherkan,"How wilt thou win to them, O holy man, seeing that the valley is blocked up by the infidels on all sides?" |
8656 | Quoth Sherkan,"I am well and in good case; but where is the holy man?" |
8656 | Quoth Taj el Mulouk to Aziz,''Is this the resort of the merchants?'' |
8656 | Quoth Zoulmekan,"How far is it hence to Damascus?" |
8656 | Quoth Zoulmekan,"Whence comes this bitch that seeks for me? |
8656 | Quoth his father,"What made thee change colour, when I told thee of this, seeing that the kingdom is assured to thee after me? |
8656 | Quoth one of the merchants,"How old is she?" |
8656 | Quoth she,"And how camest thou in to me without my leave?" |
8656 | Quoth she,"Perfidy is a foul thing with strangers, and how much more with kinsfolk? |
8656 | Quoth she,"What is this, O my son?" |
8656 | Quoth she,''I commend thee to God;''and he said,''When shall I see thee again, O pious lady? |
8656 | Quoth the Vizier,"And who should have been the cause of this our affliction, save that devotee of Satan? |
8656 | Quoth the other,"I have been distracted from thee by Ibn Shihab; dost thou know him?" |
8656 | Quoth the princess,''Didst thou ask him if he had any need, that we might satisfy it?'' |
8656 | Quoth the stoker,"Hast thou not seen me sitting here and dost thou not know my station? |
8656 | Quoth the stoker,"Why wilt thou obey thine own inclinations and the promptings of the devil? |
8656 | Quoth they,"Who art thou?" |
8656 | Shall I tell thee any more?'' |
8656 | Shall the nights e''er unite us, the nights of dear delight, And shall we tell our suff''rings, each in the other''s ear? |
8656 | Shall we then die of hunger? |
8656 | Shall we walk abroad to view Damascus and cheer our spirits?" |
8656 | She laughed and said,"If I sang to thee in Arabic, what wouldst thou do?" |
8656 | She took the pen and wrote the following verses:"What ails me that sleep hath forsaken my eyes and gone astray? |
8656 | So come, let us win? |
8656 | So he laid all the blame on himself, saying,"How came I to venture myself in the country of the Greeks?" |
8656 | So he said to him,"O youth, of what tribe art thou and to whom art thou kin among the Arabs? |
8656 | So he said to the Syrians,"Did ye rescue the holy man or is he still in the hermitage?" |
8656 | So he turned to the Vizier and said to him,"What art thou that thou shouldst beat me? |
8656 | So she bade fetch a hundred men, natives of Nejran in Syria, and said to them,"Ye have heard what has befallen the Christians with the Muslims?" |
8656 | So she came, and he showed her the letter and said to her,"O my sister, what answer wouldst thou have me make to this letter?" |
8656 | So she chose goods worth a thousand dinars and said,''How much is this?'' |
8656 | So she said to him,''O my son, what is there in this scroll, that makes thee weep?'' |
8656 | So she took an instrument and changing the measure, sang the following verses: Parting must ever bitter be; How shall one bear it patiently? |
8656 | So she turned to him, laughing, and said,"What wouldst thou? |
8656 | So tell me, what and whence art thou and whither art thou bound?" |
8656 | So the Khalif said to his attendants,''Who is at the door?'' |
8656 | So what hast thou to boast of? |
8656 | So what is thy counsel, O Vizier? |
8656 | Tell me, dost thou know the Koran?" |
8656 | The King thanked her and said,''But that I fear to cross thee, I would not accept the treasure or aught else: but when wilt thou set out with them?'' |
8656 | The King wondered at this and said,''O my lady, what is their price?'' |
8656 | The bystanders said to her,"Why hast thou made haste to slay him?" |
8656 | The fifth,''When shall mine eyes behold thee? |
8656 | The nurse gave her his second letter, whereupon her anger redoubled and she said,''Did I not say he would conceive hopes of us?'' |
8656 | The prince wondered greatly at his behaviour, and said to him,''What is that piece of linen?'' |
8656 | The princess took the letter and reading it, exclaimed,''Who and what is this merchant that he should dare to write to me thus?'' |
8656 | Then Kanmakan rose and said to Sasan,"Is there aught of bitterness left in thy heart against me?" |
8656 | Then he carried him to his palace and said to him,''Where didst thou leave the Vizier?'' |
8656 | Then he fell to comforting her and kissing her head, and she said to him,"What wilt thou call the child?" |
8656 | Then he said to her,"Hast thou then been shown to him?" |
8656 | Then he sent for Aziz and said to him,''O my son, dost thou know the way to the Camphor Islands?'' |
8656 | Then he smote him on the breast, that the spear- point issued from his back, and cried out, saying,''Will another come out?'' |
8656 | Then he stayed his steed in the midst of the field and cried out,"Where is Afridoun, that I may make him drink the cup of humiliation?" |
8656 | Then he took courage and giving loose to his tongue, repeated the following verses: When shall the mourning heart be healed of anger and disdain? |
8656 | Then he turned to Bakoun and said to her,"My life on thee, knowest thou any story better than those thou hast told me?" |
8656 | Then he turned to me and said,''Harkye, Hemmad, dost thou know me?'' |
8656 | Then he turned to the lady to reproach her, but saw that she had changed colour; and she sprang to her feet and said to the new- comers,"Who are ye?" |
8656 | Then he went in to his mother Dhat ed Dewahi and said to her,"Shall the Muslims deal thus with my daughter? |
8656 | Then he went to his house and said to his mother,"O my mother, how is it with my cousin?" |
8656 | Then he went up to her, confounded at her beauty and grace, and seating himself by her side, said to her,"O my mistress, what is thy name?" |
8656 | Then said I to him,''O brother of the Arabs, tell me who thou art and what is this damsel to thee?'' |
8656 | Then said Kanmakan,"Whither dost thou now intend?" |
8656 | Then said Zoulmekan,"Know ye who did this, and how is it I see not the recluse, him who hath put away the things of the world?" |
8656 | Then said he to his wife,"Wilt thou go with me to Damascus or wilt thou abide here, whilst I bring this my lord thither and return to thee? |
8656 | Then said he,''This, O prince, is my story: hast thou ever heard a stranger one?'' |
8656 | Then said she,"O Aziz, which wouldst thou rather, life or death?" |
8656 | Then said she,''O my son, what is thy name?'' |
8656 | Then said the Christians to each other,"When shall these battles have an end? |
8656 | Then said the Muslims to him,"What is thy news?" |
8656 | Then said the Vizier,''Which of you is the overseer of the market?'' |
8656 | Then said the folk,''Art thou not ashamed, O hashish- eater, and thou lying asleep and naked, with thy yard on end?'' |
8656 | Then she said to Merjaneh,"I wish to set out to- night, but how shall I do? |
8656 | Then she said to Sherkan,"O king''s son, dost thou know aught of Jemil''s[FN#14] verses to Butheineh?" |
8656 | Then she said to him,"O Muslim, dost thou understand what I say?" |
8656 | Then she said to him,"O Muslim, it is lawful among you to kill Christians; what sayst thou to my killing thee?" |
8656 | Then she said to me,"O my cousin, meseems thou didst sleep again last night?" |
8656 | Then she said, with clear and dulcet speech, never heard I sweeter,"O my mother, is this he who cometh to read the letter?" |
8656 | Then she turned to them and greeted them, saying,"Wherefore come ye?" |
8656 | Then she went in to King Afridoun and said to him,"What is this I hear from the Muslims? |
8656 | Then she wept, and my heart was sore for her by reason of her much weeping, and I said to her,"What is the charge thou gavest me?" |
8656 | Then sobs burst up out of her breast, and she repeated these verses also: What ails me? |
8656 | Then the eunuch cried out at him, saying,"Who was it recited the verses? |
8656 | Then the grandees and courtiers came to me and said,"What is this thou hast done with the Commander of the Faithful? |
8656 | Then the hundred cavaliers made towards Kanmakan from all sides, and one of them accosted him, saying,"Whither goest thou with this good?" |
8656 | Then the princess cried out to her damsels, saying,"Who is left in the monastery?" |
8656 | Then they turned to the second prisoner, who was a black slave, and said to him,"What is thy name? |
8656 | Then,"Fearest thou not disgrace?" |
8656 | There withal there entered into me pride, whence I know not, and I said to myself,''Who can walk upon the water, like unto me?'' |
8656 | Thereupon one of Sherkan''s men came out from the ranks and spurring between the two parties, cried out,"Who is for jousting? |
8656 | These words should come from none but a doughty champion: what wantest thou of equity? |
8656 | This is all through thee: else how should this devil know me?'' |
8656 | This was grievous to him and he said,"How did she leave the palace, unknown of any? |
8656 | Thou hast not strength enough to defend thee against women; so how couldst thou make head against men and cavaliers?" |
8656 | Thou smitest me with cruel words, that yet are sweet to me: Wilt thou one day, though but in dreams, to look upon me deign? |
8656 | Thou talkest of my serving thee; who then art thou and what moved thee to speak thus?" |
8656 | Thou that forbidst my passion the sweets of happy love, Art thou then safe from fortune, that shifts and changes aye? |
8656 | Up, drinker of the vine- juice, and forth, for seest thou not Earth gilt with blooms and waters all welling forth like wine? |
8656 | What country hath given thee refuge?" |
8656 | What deemest thou of this?" |
8656 | What hath befallen thee to make thee tarry till now?" |
8656 | What is thy history and wherefore goest thou by night, after the fashion of champions? |
8656 | What kin is she, who spoke thus, to thee?" |
8656 | What man is free from wants?'' |
8656 | What say ye? |
8656 | What sayst thou, O my son? |
8656 | What shall I do and what answer shall I make my father and my mother, when they say to me,''Whence hadst thou thy daughter''?" |
8656 | When Behram saw her, he dismounted and kissing the earth before her, said,"What is behind thee, O friend of God? |
8656 | When I heard this, I marvelled exceedingly and said,"Who made thee to know of her, O my lady?" |
8656 | When Sherkan heard this all was certified that she was indeed his sister, he said to himself,"How can I have my sister to wife? |
8656 | When Sherkan saw this, the case was grievous to him, and he said to his comrades,"What shall we do?" |
8656 | When Zoulmekan heard this, he wept and said,"Who is it would forbid me to recite? |
8656 | When Zoulmekan saw them, he was ware that they were a mighty host and said,"Who can have given these troops advice of us?" |
8656 | When he heard her words, he cried out,"O insolent wretch, dost thou dare to bandy words with me?" |
8656 | When he heard her words, he hardened his heart and said to her,"O pestilent baggage, wilt thou bandy words with me?" |
8656 | When he heard this, he said,"How is it with Kuzia Fekan?" |
8656 | When she heard my voice, she opened her eyes and said,"O Aziz, didst thou repeat the verses to her?" |
8656 | When she heard this, she looked at the knight and said to him,"What is thy name?" |
8656 | When she heard this, she shrieked aloud and wept, saying,"Did I not tell thee that thou hadst slain her? |
8656 | When she saw me, she said to me,"O my son, canst thou read?" |
8656 | When the gardener saw this, he came up to the prince and said to him,''O my lord, what is to be done? |
8656 | When the latter saw her, she said to her,''O my nurse, what is it he asks, that we may fulfil his wish to him?'' |
8656 | When the sun rose, he said to him,"Meseems thou yearnest for thy native land?" |
8656 | When, rigour ceasing, shall the lips of union smile again? |
8656 | Whence art thou? |
8656 | Whence comest thou and whither art thou bound? |
8656 | Who is for fighting? |
8656 | Who is there can have patience after his friend and who Bows not the head to parting, that comes with rapid stride? |
8656 | Who is thy father and what hath emboldened thee to debauch my daughter?'' |
8656 | Who will deliver her into our hands, that we may avenge ourselves upon her and wipe out our dishonour?" |
8656 | Why didst thou not come with us and bathe in our company?'' |
8656 | Why didst thou not pass the night with thy beloved and why hast thou not fulfilled thy desire of her?" |
8656 | Why didst thou not tell me the truth?" |
8656 | Why dost thou say that she is illustrious,[FN#25] for all she is of the scum of slave- girls and of the refuse of the people? |
8656 | Will they not come out against me, ten by ten?" |
8656 | Wilt thou give me leave to answer?'' |
8656 | Wilt thou have me cast into the fire by the wrath of the All- powerful King? |
8656 | [ FN#111]"What news bringest thou, O saint?" |
8656 | [ FN#11] Quoth he( Solomon),"O chiefs, which of you will bring me her throne?" |
8656 | [ FN#47]''It was said to Sufyan,[FN#48]''Can a man be devout and yet possess wealth?'' |
8656 | and called for aid upon the priests of the monasteries, saying,"Where are the crosses?" |
8656 | and the hand of thy bounty fled? |
8656 | cried the Bedouin;"what should the baggage want with clothes? |
8656 | replied he; but he said to himself,"How shall I take this sick man to Damascus, and he nigh upon death?" |
8656 | said Omar, for he misliked to say,"folk of the fire;"[FN#42]"what ails you?" |
8656 | they say; and I,"What have I to do with waging war except among the fair?" |
8656 | what shall she do? |
8656 | what shall she do?" |
8657 | And he who sold thee and took thy price,asked the princess,"did he not tell thee that the Khalif had bought thee?" |
8657 | And how camest thou to give her leave for this? |
8657 | And how long,asked he,"has she sojourned in this country?" |
8657 | And what is this tale? |
8657 | And what is thy daughter''s name? |
8657 | And who knows the hidden things save God, may He be glorified and exalted? |
8657 | Art thou a spunger? |
8657 | Can aught befall me worse than death? |
8657 | Dost thou fear then that he will kill thee? |
8657 | Hast thou a child or a husband? |
8657 | Hast thou a necklace of jewels fit for me? |
8657 | Have patience,quoth my censurer,"and thou shalt win them yet,"And I,"O thou that blamest me, whence should I patience get?" |
8657 | How can the phantom visit a lover''s eyes,quoth they,"From which the grace of slumber is banned and banished sheer?" |
8657 | I am a merchant in the Baghdad bazaar,replied I, and she,"Canst thou repeat any verses?" |
8657 | I hear and obey, O my lady,rejoined I;"but where is my husband?" |
8657 | Is she married? |
8657 | Meseemeth thou hintest a wish for the lute to be brought? |
8657 | O Nimeh,quoth the princess,"dost thou love thy slave Num?" |
8657 | O fair- faced one,said Num,"what King''s palace is this?" |
8657 | O my brother,rejoined the whelp,"what manner of words are these?" |
8657 | O my lady,answered the Persian,"how should my son not weep, seeing that this is his slave- girl and he her lord Nimeh ben er Rebya of Cufa? |
8657 | O so and so,said she,"what hath befallen thee?" |
8657 | Since when has this been her wo nt,asked Nimeh,"and at what hour went she forth?" |
8657 | What hast thou eaten to- day? |
8657 | What hast thou then to say? |
8657 | What is it, O Commander of the Faithful? |
8657 | What is that? |
8657 | What is that? |
8657 | What is this? |
8657 | What makes thee go doubled this fashion? |
8657 | When didst thou leave the son of Adam? |
8657 | When didst thou lose it? |
8657 | Which of you is the complainant? |
8657 | Whither away, O my mother? |
8657 | Who has taken her? |
8657 | Who knows the old woman? |
8657 | Why dost thou not begin by healing thyself? |
8657 | [ FN#84] When he read these verses, his eyes ran over with tears and the old woman said to him,What ails thee to weep, O my son? |
8657 | ''All I have is for sale,''answered Alaeddin; and the Frank said,''Wilt thou sell it me for fourscore thousand dinars?'' |
8657 | ''And how is it with him whose seed is thin?'' |
8657 | ''And how much cost thou expect of us?'' |
8657 | ''And if he say yet,"Too much"?'' |
8657 | ''And if he say,"Too much"?'' |
8657 | ''And if he still say,"Too much"?'' |
8657 | ''And what are they worth here?'' |
8657 | ''And what befell Nimeh and Num?'' |
8657 | ''And what did I promise thee?'' |
8657 | ''And what is it thou hast seen this night, O liar, O accursed one?'' |
8657 | ''And what is my father''s trade?'' |
8657 | ''And what is that?'' |

8657 | ''And who was thy father''s murderer?'' |
8657 | ''And why so?'' |
8657 | ''And why,''continued the bird,''hast thou chosen this place rather than another?'' |
8657 | ''And why?'' |
8657 | ''And yet,"Too much"?'' |
8657 | ''And yet,"Too much"?'' |
8657 | ''And yet,"Too much"?'' |
8657 | ''Art thou not an( orthodox) Muslim?'' |
8657 | ''At what dost thou marvel, O my chief?'' |
8657 | ''But where is my friend and she who was singing to him?'' |
8657 | ''Did he give thee any charge?'' |
8657 | ''Dost thou also presume to hoodwink me and wilt thou not tell me what is come of the young lady who lay with me last night and who took her away?'' |
8657 | ''Dost thou not know me?'' |
8657 | ''Doth she please thee?'' |
8657 | ''Harkye, traitor,''said the Khalif,''whence hadst thou this lantern?'' |
8657 | ''Hast thou then two names?'' |
8657 | ''How bore they themselves,''asked the King,''and did they give thee any charge?'' |
8657 | ''How can I do this,''said the pigeon,''I that am a bird and may not go beyond the palm- tree whereon is my food? |
8657 | ''How can we avail to do this thing,''answered they,''and whence shall we get the chrysolites and rubies and pearls whereof thou speakest?'' |
8657 | ''How have I failed in good breeding before the Commander of the Faithful,''asked he,''and which of you is he?'' |
8657 | ''How knowest thou that it is not he?'' |
8657 | ''How many hands have I,''answered he,''that I should suffice for all this work?'' |
8657 | ''How much cost thou hope to get of him?'' |
8657 | ''How shall this youth descend,''replied he,''seeing that he hath not strength to rise?'' |
8657 | ''How so, O Commander of the Faithful?'' |
8657 | ''How so?'' |
8657 | ''How so?'' |
8657 | ''How so?'' |
8657 | ''How so?'' |
8657 | ''How so?'' |
8657 | ''How so?'' |
8657 | ''I have a thickener,''said Sheikh Mohammed;''but what wilt thou say to him who makes thy wife conceive by thee, after forty years''barrenness? |
8657 | ''I hear and obey,''answered he, and going in to his mother, said to her,''Who is my father?'' |
8657 | ''Know then,''rejoined I,''that my case is strange and my affair marvellous: but do you know aught of me?'' |
8657 | ''Knowest thou not, O Commander of the Faithful,''replied Jaafer,''that death( by hanging) causes blackness?'' |
8657 | ''Look to it well,''said the King;''is this news true?'' |
8657 | ''O Alaeddin,''said Ahmed,''what is this thou hast done? |
8657 | ''O Commander of the Faithful,''answered she,''how should women have knowledge of men?'' |
8657 | ''O Commander of the Faithful,''said he,''shall I tell thee what I have seen with my eyes or what I have heard with my ears?'' |
8657 | ''O Hassan Shouman,''said Ahmed,''What sayst thou of this?'' |
8657 | ''O Queen,''asked Amjed,''what is thy slave''s name and what like is he?'' |
8657 | ''O Vizier,''said the prince,''what did this pestilent slave say of me?'' |
8657 | ''O dupe,''rejoined she,''would this stuff be sold under its value, except it were stolen? |
8657 | ''O my brother,''rejoined she,''thinkest thou it is madness ails me?'' |
8657 | ''O my brother,''said Kemerezzeman,''what is this thou hast done and how will it profit us?'' |
8657 | ''O my father,''answered she,''where is the young man that lay with me last night?'' |
8657 | ''O my father,''asked Alaeddin,''why dost thou spread two tables, one for men and another for youths?'' |
8657 | ''O my lady,''replied he,''I am a Muslim and thou art a Nazarene; so how can I marry thee?'' |
8657 | ''O my lord, what young lady?'' |
8657 | ''O my lord,''said Alaeddin,''and whence then came they?'' |
8657 | ''O my lord,''said she,''is the marriage bond in thy hand or in theirs?'' |
8657 | ''O my mother,''rejoined he,''where is a place of refuge against destiny? |
8657 | ''O my son,''rejoined she,''hast thou a mind for travel?'' |
8657 | ''O my son,''replied the muleteer,''did I not forbid thee to go with him? |
8657 | ''O my son,''said the old man,''what sayst thou to a thousand dinars and a suit of clothes and a mule worth other two thousand?'' |
8657 | ''O old man,''said Er Reshid,''doth the Khalif come down the river every night?'' |
8657 | ''O wily deceiver,''answered the wolf,''how hopest thou to work my deliverance and thine own, that thou wouldst have me grant thee time? |
8657 | ''O wretched old man,''answered Kemerezzeman,''thinkest thou I saw her with my ears? |
8657 | ''O wretched old woman,''answered the princess,''where is my beloved, the handsome youth that lay last night in my bosom? |
8657 | ''That shall he not,''rejoined Kemerezzeman;''but how is thy master called in the land of the Persians?'' |
8657 | ''That which is written on our foreheads,''said the peahen,''we must indeed fulfil, and when our appointed day draws near, who shall deliver us? |
8657 | ''To what end wilt thou give me this?'' |
8657 | ''True, O my friend,''answered the mouse,''and I delight in thee and in thy neighbourhood; but what is the motive of thy speech?'' |
8657 | ''What art thou?'' |
8657 | ''What befell the sparrow?'' |
8657 | ''What boy is this that sits beside thee,''asked the Deputy,''and thou a man of years and chief of the merchants? |
8657 | ''What countryman is he?'' |
8657 | ''What do they say?'' |
8657 | ''What has vexed thee?'' |
8657 | ''What if he say,"This is too much"?'' |
8657 | ''What is it thou hast to propose?'' |
8657 | ''What is it?'' |
8657 | ''What is the lady''s name?'' |
8657 | ''What is the matter?'' |
8657 | ''What is the story of the weaver?'' |
8657 | ''What is thy condition?'' |
8657 | ''What is thy food?'' |
8657 | ''What is to do?'' |
8657 | ''What matters it? |
8657 | ''What means this saying?'' |
8657 | ''What possesses thee to kill my slave?'' |
8657 | ''What proof hast thou of what thou sayest?'' |
8657 | ''What then shall I do,''asked the pigeon,''that I may be freed from the bonds of the world and give myself up altogether to the service of my Lord?'' |
8657 | ''What thickens seed?'' |
8657 | ''What was it thou sawest?'' |
8657 | ''What was that?'' |
8657 | ''Whence knowest thou that, O Commander of the Faithful?'' |
8657 | ''Where didst thou buy it?'' |
8657 | ''Where is Dhoulkeraa, prince of Himyer?'' |
8657 | ''Where is he?'' |
8657 | ''Whither shall I go, O my father?'' |
8657 | ''Whither shall I go?'' |
8657 | ''Who can help me,''rejoined Ali,''and how wilt thou do with her, when she takes umbrage like a wilding of the desert?'' |
8657 | ''Who is his father?'' |
8657 | ''Who may go a- pleasuring on the Tigris?'' |
8657 | ''Who told thee I was a leper?'' |
8657 | ''Who told thee of this?'' |
8657 | ''Who told thee of this?'' |
8657 | ''Who told thee this?'' |
8657 | ''Whose life?'' |
8657 | ''Why dost thou thus?'' |
8657 | ''Why not?'' |
8657 | ''Why so?'' |
8657 | ''Wilt thou sell it for a hundred thousand dinars?'' |
8657 | ''Yes,''answered she; whereupon the lady turned to the jeweller and said to him,''How is it with thee?'' |
8657 | ''[ FN#106]''What has happened?'' |
8657 | ''[ FN#110]''Why should we give thee guard- money?'' |
8657 | ''[ FN#71] Her heart inclined to him and she said,''Canst thou write?'' |
8657 | 2, FN#29}[ FN#117] Confessional? |
8657 | A man saw her affrighted and said to her,"What ails thee, O serpent?" |
8657 | After awhile, the Khalif said to Jaafer,''O Vizier, what is the cause of Alaeddin''s absence from the Divan?'' |
8657 | Alaeddin gave him five dinars and said to him,''O serjeant, by what code am I bound to marry at night and divorce next morning?'' |
8657 | Alaeddin knocked at the door, and his mother said,''Who is at the door, now that we have lost our beloved?'' |
8657 | Amjed looked at him with angry eyes and said,''Why hast thou tarried till now, O most pestilent of slaves?'' |
8657 | And how shall I hide the tears, that flow in streams adown The table of my cheek for his evanishment? |
8657 | And she said,"How would it be, if thou heardest this song from himself?" |
8657 | Art thou a god, that thou, indeed, by favouring whom thou wilt And slighting others, canst at once bring back to life and slay? |
8657 | Art thou for wine? |
8657 | Art thou mad to even thy beloved with mine?'' |
8657 | As I spoke, O my sister, the camel came up and saluted the lion- whelp, who returned his greeting and said to him,"What brings thee hither?" |
8657 | As for me, I was in a trance, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself with the princess; so I said to her,"Why hast thou bought me hither?" |
8657 | As for thee, thou art great in years and little of wit: hast thou not, twice before this, questioned me of the matter of marriage, and I refused thee? |
8657 | At break of day, the prince awoke from sleep and turned right and left, but found not the young lady by him and said in himself,''What is this? |
8657 | At this the King rejoiced exceedingly and spat in the Vizier''s face, saying,''O wicked old man, how canst thou pretend that my son is mad? |
8657 | At this, she wept and said,''Who told thee this?'' |
8657 | At this, the young lion''s anger and vexation redoubled, and he said to the horse,"When didst thou leave the son of Adam?" |
8657 | Behold, I have chosen to be near thee and desire to enjoy thy company; so who shall forbid thee from me? |
8657 | Belike, it may come to thy father''s ears and who shall deliver us from his hand?'' |
8657 | But Jessamine answered,''O bitch, by what code is it lawful for a woman to marry two husbands, and how shall the dog take the lion''s place?'' |
8657 | But have ye no last wishes or injunctions that I may fulfil or message that I may carry?'' |
8657 | But he answered,''Harkye, sirrah, art thou master or servant? |
8657 | But how did he wrong thee?'' |
8657 | But if thou art handsome, so am I; what then is this thou dost? |
8657 | But tell me, which of the two is the handsomer?'' |
8657 | But thou art like a certain sick man, who went to another, suffering from the same disease, and said to him,"Shall I heal thee of thy disease?" |
8657 | But thou, O my brother,''added he,''wilt thou lodge with me?'' |
8657 | But what is thy condition?" |
8657 | But what vast army is this that covers the country?'' |
8657 | But why dost thou not bid him cast about to get the girl Jessamine for my son Hebezlem Bezazeh?'' |
8657 | But why, O my mother, did you put me in the underground chamber and leave me prisoner there?'' |
8657 | But, O my brother, hast thou seen the damsel or heard any news of her?'' |
8657 | But, O my lord, didst thou ever recover the lantern that was stolen from thee?'' |
8657 | By Allah, O my son, I know nothing of the affair, and I conjure thee, tell me if it be a delusion of sleep or a hallucination caused by food? |
8657 | Can it be love hath wounded thee or art thou shot with shafts? |
8657 | Did I not tell thee that, were I wo nt to sell this merchandise to other than thee for gold, I would sell it thee for silver?'' |
8657 | Didst thou not know this?" |
8657 | Dost thou carry adulterous messages for thy lord''s wife? |
8657 | Dost thou count me thy friend? |
8657 | Dost thou dare to answer me thus before my captains and officers? |
8657 | Dost thou not know that he who buys a ware, without examining it, erreth? |
8657 | Dost thou not see his beauty and grace and symmetry? |
8657 | Doth passion blaze up in thy heart like to mine? |
8657 | Each of the others told a like tale, till it came to Alaeddin''s turn, when they said to him,''And thou, O my lord Alaeddin?'' |
8657 | Grant with the border of her sleeve she hide her brows and doff Her ornaments, how shall she do her scent away from her? |
8657 | Hast seen a lover hating love at any time or tide? |
8657 | Hast thou any device to bring us to our desire of yonder dinars?" |
8657 | Hast thou any stories of beasts?" |
8657 | Hast thou any stories of birds?" |
8657 | Hast thou gone in to Cout el Culoub?'' |
8657 | Hast thou gone in to her?'' |
8657 | Hast thou more of the like edifying tales?" |
8657 | Hast thou no fear of God, and He of exceeding great might? |
8657 | Hast thou not heard the saying of God the Most High? |
8657 | Hast thou not heard what the poet says? |
8657 | Have they lessoned thee to flout me or has the wretched old man, my father, made thee swear not to speak to me to- night?'' |
8657 | Have ye any tidings of them?'' |
8657 | His comrades came up to him and set him on horseback again, saying,''What hath befallen thee?'' |
8657 | How can I hope to be secret and hide the love that I feel, Whenas the stress of my longing my passion for thee doth speak? |
8657 | How can I trust in this world or hope to be secure from misfortune therein? |
8657 | How canst thou let this strange slave in upon us? |
8657 | How comes he lying in one bed with me?'' |
8657 | How darest thou stay her?" |
8657 | How is it with Shemsennehar?'' |
8657 | How long This deadly distance and despite? |
8657 | How long, I wonder, shall the hands of passion sport with me And love and dole and sleeplessness consume me, heart and brain? |
8657 | How many murders hast thou done ere this?'' |
8657 | How shall I be consoled for thee, and thou a sapling slight? |
8657 | How shall a heart be joyous, that''s all fulfilled of dole? |
8657 | How shall he have pleasure in life or hold it goodly, He unto whose cheeks the dust must soon adhere?'' |
8657 | How shalt thou be burdened with inquietude and harm?'' |
8657 | How should she have come in to thee, when the door was locked and I asleep before it? |
8657 | How then can this have been a dream and a delusion, seeing that the ring is a reality? |
8657 | How would it be if thou sawest my beloved? |
8657 | I agreed to this and we both presented ourselves before the Cadi, who said,"What brings you hither and what is your case?" |
8657 | I answer,"And where is my heart? |
8657 | I cry, whilst my night for care grows long and longer aye,"O light of the morning, say, is there no returning for thee?" |
8657 | I found him seated on a chair, wroth with me, and he said to me,"O Isaac, art thou a traitor to thine allegiance?" |
8657 | I prayed a two- bow prayer, after which I turned to her, sighing, and said,''What dost thou want?'' |
8657 | I wonder what is come of him?'' |
8657 | If my foeman in love be my judge, to whom shall I make my complaint? |
8657 | If ye weep thus, what while ye are yet together, how will it be when ye are parted? |
8657 | Is every fair one so disdainful? |
8657 | Is he a slave or akin to thy wife? |
8657 | Is it no wonder that thou art a moon for ever full And that thy lovers''tis, not thou, that wane and waste away? |
8657 | Is it not time, O thou whose heart is as the rock, that thou My long estrangement and my dole shouldst pity and allay? |
8657 | Is not the house thine?'' |
8657 | Is there any one that seeketh?'' |
8657 | Is this bag a bottomless sea or the Day of Resurrection, that shall gather together the just and unjust?" |
8657 | Kemerezzeman told them that he was sick, and they said,''Where is the young man that is minded to go with us to the Ebony Islands?'' |
8657 | Knowest thou not that modesty is a point of the Faith?'' |
8657 | Knowest thou not that there is a Helper for the oppressed? |
8657 | Knowest thou not that this thou hast done were disgraceful in the meanest of my subjects?'' |
8657 | Knowest thou who I am?" |
8657 | Meanwhile Ajlan said to his men,''O Arabs, was this caravan bound from Egypt for Baghdad or from Baghdad for Egypt?'' |
8657 | Meanwhile, the old woman went to Num''s bed- chamber and said to her,"Has thy lord come to thee?" |
8657 | Meanwhile, they carried Alaeddin to the Divan and brought him, together with the stolen goods, before the Khalif, who said,''Where did ye find them?'' |
8657 | Muawiyeh wondered greatly ad Kaab''s story and said to him,"Hath any mortal ever made his way to the city?" |
8657 | Next morning, the soldiers came for him and he mounted and rode away; whereupon she came in to me and said,"Sawst thou yonder man?" |
8657 | No harm shall befall thee: how can the son of Adam come at us and we in this island midmost the sea? |
8657 | Now her father''s house faced that of Alaeddin, and he, hearing her cry out, came in and said,''What is the matter, O my lord Alaeddin?'' |
8657 | Now the Khalif set thee in high place about him and styled thee"Trusty"and"Faithful;"how then couldst thou deal thus with him and steal his goods?'' |
8657 | O witless wolf, knowest thou not the proverb,"He who taketh no thought to results, Fate is no friend to him, nor shall he be safe from perils?"'' |
8657 | O ye full moons, whose place of sojourn is my heart, Amongst the human race whom can I choose but you? |
8657 | One[FN#141] came to us with God''s command And summoned us to the right way"Is there no''scaping from this thing?" |
8657 | Presently she came in to him, rejoicing, and he said to her,''What news, O damsel?'' |
8657 | Presently, Mehmoud bent towards Alaeddin, to kiss him, but the youth received the kiss on his hand and said to him,''What wilt thou do?'' |
8657 | Presently, a man entered and saluting us, prayed a two- bow prayer, after which he turned to us and said,''O folk, are ye strangers?'' |
8657 | Presently, he saw the Khalif and Jaafer whispering together and said to them,''What is the matter, gentlemen?'' |
8657 | Presently, the old woman came in and said to him,''Why hast thou not done thy service?'' |
8657 | Quaere, the name of a town in Egypt? |
8657 | Quo the Khalif,''What is this thou sayest?'' |
8657 | Quoth Ahmed,''What counsellest thou?'' |
8657 | Quoth Aslan,''And how was that?'' |
8657 | Quoth Ed Denef,''What ails thee, O Aslan?'' |
8657 | Quoth I( and indeed I thought not that he knew me),"How knowest thou that I excel in song?" |
8657 | Quoth I,"My name is''duck,''and I am of the bird- kind; but thou, why tarriest thou in this place till now?" |
8657 | Quoth I,"What ails the folk to run away?" |
8657 | Quoth I,''For myself, thou canst find me where thou wilt; but thou, who can come at thee where thou art?'' |
8657 | Quoth he,''Dost thou ask my present or my former name?'' |
8657 | Quoth he,''Know ye not that all the kings of the word are under my hand and that none that is therein dare gainsay my commandment?'' |
8657 | Quoth he,''What possessed thee to do this?'' |
8657 | Quoth he,''What say you? |
8657 | Quoth he,''Why dost thou send me forth of the church?'' |
8657 | Quoth she,''Thou art the son of a Provost of the merchants yet did thy hand lack of a para; how then should it be with poor dervishes?'' |
8657 | Quoth she,''What is the lading of thy ship and whom hast thou with thee?'' |
8657 | Quoth she,''Where didst thou leave the owner of these olives?'' |
8657 | Quoth she,''Wherefore come- ye?'' |
8657 | Quoth she,''Who saith so?'' |
8657 | Quoth the Cadi to me,"And what sayst thou, O Ali?" |
8657 | Quoth the Khalif to Ahmed,''Dost thou repent of thy sins?'' |
8657 | Quoth the Khalif,''Where is Alaeddin Abou esh Shamat?'' |
8657 | Quoth the Vizier,''Dost thou ask of the young lady with the fair face and perfect shape?'' |
8657 | Quoth the boatman,''Did I not tell you that the Khalif passed every night? |
8657 | Said I,''Have ye a mind for food?'' |
8657 | Seest not that loved and loathed at once In every way of life unite? |
8657 | She alighted at my shop and seating herself by me, said to me,"Art thou Mohammed the jeweller?" |
8657 | She guessed by these words that her son was dead and wept sore, then she said to me,''I conjure thee by Allah, tell me, is my son dead?'' |
8657 | She knew by my case that I had a mind to enjoy her; so she said to me,"O my lord, dost thou think to foregather with me unlawfully? |
8657 | Shemseddin looked on his face and seeing it like a shining full moon, with moles on both cheeks, said to his wife,''What hast thou named him?'' |
8657 | So Aslan interceded for him with the Khalif, who said,''What hath God done with this lad''s mother?'' |
8657 | So I brought him in and said to him,''What hast thou to say to me?'' |
8657 | So I rose and followed her into the presence of the princess, who said to me,"O light of the eye, art thou the lady Dunya''s beloved?" |
8657 | So I turned to my neighbour and said to him,''Thou art my brother and my neighbour and wilt cover my nakedness; what dost thou counsel me to do?'' |
8657 | So I went up to him and he said to me,"What is thy name and thy kind?" |
8657 | So Kemerezzeman entered the garden, amazed, and said to the keeper,''Who and what then are the people of this city?'' |
8657 | So Khatoun told her the whole story, and she said,''What wouldst thou say of him who should find means to save thy son?'' |
8657 | So he beckoned to the broker and said to him,"What is the price of this woman and her child?" |
8657 | So he carried him, still chained, to the Divan and kissed the earth before the Khalif, who said to him,''O Amir Khalid, what seekest thou?'' |
8657 | So he said to her,''O King, I can not find that thou hast any manly gear, even as other men; what then moved thee to do thus?'' |
8657 | So he said to him,''O Alaeddin, whence cometh this trouble in which I see thee? |
8657 | So he said,''What is the matter, O Amir Khalid?'' |
8657 | So he saluted him and Maan said to him,''O brother of the Arabs, what brings thee?'' |
8657 | So he sat down on one of the benches and the lady on the other; and she said to him,''O my lord, wherefore waitest thou?'' |
8657 | So he set down the cup and rose, whereupon quoth the lady,''Whither away?'' |
8657 | So he took her hand, and she alighted and said to him,"Art thou the Persian physician from Irak?" |
8657 | So he walked on and she followed him from street to street, till she was tired and said to him,''O my lord, where is thy house?'' |
8657 | So he went down and bringing them up, said to them,''Have you brought me the ten thousand dinars?'' |
8657 | So he went down and finding four dervishes standing without, said to them,''What do you want?'' |
8657 | So he went to her forthright and said to her,''O my daughter, what ails thee?'' |
8657 | So he went with them to the Cadi, who, as soon as he saw Alaeddin, was moved to love of him and said to the old man,''What is your will?'' |
8657 | So he wrote the following verses: Harkye, O thou that judgest, what can a mortal do, When fate, in all conditions, doth him to death ensue? |
8657 | So leave arguing and hear what the poet says: Seest not the fruits of the market, how of two kinds they be? |
8657 | So one of the attendants said to him,''O dog of the Arabs, what ails thee that thou salutest not the Commander of the Faithful?'' |
8657 | So she came to him, and he said to her,''Whose son is this?'' |
8657 | So she rose and made rare music; and the Khalif said to Alaeddin,''What sayst thou of this damsel''s voice?'' |
8657 | So she said to her husband,''Why didst thou not buy him the girl?'' |
8657 | So she took him and carried him forth of the palace to the church, where he said to her,''What service must I do?'' |
8657 | So she turned to Alaeddin and said to him,''Wilt thou serve in the church, or shall I let the King kill thee?'' |
8657 | So she went away and after awhile in came Hassan, to whom said Mamoun,"Hath thou a daughter?" |
8657 | So she went away and presently returned with a bag of money, which she handed to me, saying,''O my lord, where shall we meet?'' |
8657 | So the Khalif went in to Cout el Culoub, who rose and kissed the ground before him, and said to her,''Hath Alaeddin gone in to thee?'' |
8657 | So they said to him,''Whose goods are these?'' |
8657 | So what misery can surpass this, and what calamities can be greater than these?" |
8657 | So when the old woman came in to the Lady Khatoun, she found her bound with the fillets of mourning and said to her,''Wherefore dost thou mourn?'' |
8657 | So where is she now?'' |
8657 | So wilt thou go with me to him and get his reply?'' |
8657 | That by the annoy of hoary hairs Embittered is long life''s delight, And that the bristling thorns beset The branch with pleasant fruits bedight? |
8657 | The Amir''s son was vexed at this and said to the broker,''Who is it that bids against me for the slave- girl?'' |
8657 | The Vizier wondered at his words and said to him,''Didst thou see this damsel with thine eyes and on wake, or in sleep?'' |
8657 | The crow at once flew up to the top of the tree; but the cat abode confounded and said to the crow,''O my friend, hast thou no device to save me? |
8657 | The cup went round till it came to Er Reshid, who refused it, and the mock Khalif said to Jaafer,''What ails thy friend that he drinks not?'' |
8657 | The doorkeeper opened and said to her,"What dost thou want?" |
8657 | The girl stands even now at the door: shall she have leave to enter?'' |
8657 | The horseman said to us,''Whence come ye?'' |
8657 | The male pigeon saw him praying and worshipping and inclined to him for his much devoutness and said to him,''How long hast thou been thus?'' |
8657 | The merchant returned his salute, and the other, seeing him vexed, said to him,''O my lord, what hath crossed thee?'' |
8657 | The old man replied,''Did I not warn thee, many a time, when the oath of divorce was always in thy mouth, as it were thy Koran?'' |
8657 | The old man smiled in his face and said,''O my son, meseems thou art a stranger?'' |
8657 | The railers say,"Who''s this for love of whom thou art distressed?" |
8657 | The serving- women said to her,''What wilt thou name him?'' |
8657 | The shepherd returned his greeting and embraced him, weeping and saying,''What brings thee hither, where no man hath ever come in to me?'' |
8657 | The wishes of my heart do bring thee near to me For''gainst the speed of thought what is the levin''s ray? |
8657 | Then he brought forward Ahmed Kemakim, shuffling in his fetters, and the Khalif said to him,''O Kemakim, art thou yet alive?'' |
8657 | Then he called Aslan and said to him,''What is thy mother''s name?'' |
8657 | Then he looked at Nimeh( who was still disguised as a woman) and said to the princess,"O my sister, what damsel is this by Num''s side?" |
8657 | Then he prostrated himself in prayer a long while, after which he raised his head and said to me,"O uncle, knowest thou why I prostrated myself?" |
8657 | Then he said to his son,''Art thou indeed resolved to travel and wilt thou not turn back from it?'' |
8657 | Then he said to the young man,"O Nimeh, who told thee where she was and taught thee how to get at her?" |
8657 | Then he took the lute and sang an air, after which she said to me,"And is thy cousin also a merchant?" |
8657 | Then he turned and seeing Alaeddin, as he were a piece of the moon, said to him,''Who art thou, O my son?'' |
8657 | Then he turned to Kemerezzeman and said,''O king''s son, art thou minded to marry my daughter and become my son- in- law?'' |
8657 | Then he turned to the prince and said to him,''O my son, what is to- day called?'' |
8657 | Then he was silent awhile, and presently said to the jeweller,''Knowest thou what the girl whispered to me?'' |
8657 | Then he went in to his mother and said to her,''O my mother, what is my father''s trade?'' |
8657 | Then he went in to his mother, whom he found sitting with her cheek on her hand, and said to her,"O my mother, where is Num?" |
8657 | Then he went to the market and accosting a druggist, said to him,''Hast thou wherewithal to thicken the seed?'' |
8657 | Then he will say,"What dost thou want?" |
8657 | Then said he to Ahmed ibn Ali Khalid,[FN#134]"And what sayst thou, O Ahmed?" |
8657 | Then said he to the youth,"What is thy name?" |
8657 | Then said he,"O Num, is this thy lord?" |
8657 | Then said he,''When the boy grows up and says to thee,"Who is my father?" |
8657 | Then said his mother to her,''O harlot, how canst thou make me thus to sorrow for my son? |
8657 | Then said she to Alaeddin,''Art thou steadfast in battle?'' |
8657 | Then said she to her husband,"O my cousin, what wilt thou call her?" |
8657 | Then said she to her slave- girl,''Is this the man of whom thou spakest to me?'' |
8657 | Then said she to the physician,"O brother of the Persians, is this thy slave or thy son?" |
8657 | Then said she to the woman,"What is thy name?" |
8657 | Then said she,"Is thy bashfulness gone?" |
8657 | Then said she,"Knowest thou who made the air and words of this song?" |
8657 | Then said the Cadi to me,"And thou, what sayst thou?" |
8657 | Then said the Khalif to the Amir,''Why have thou brought him hither?'' |
8657 | Then said the Khalif,''O Alaeddin, why hast thou absented thyself from the Divan?'' |
8657 | Then said the King to him,''And thou, what countryman art thou?'' |
8657 | Then said the King,''From what country comest thou?'' |
8657 | Then said the lion to the ass,"Whither goest thou?" |
8657 | Then said the princess to Alaeddin,''Wilt thou go to Cairo or to Alexandria?'' |
8657 | Then said the wolf,''O fox of little ruth, why didst thou exult over me, thou that wast my companion and under my dominion? |
8657 | Then said the( chief) chamberlain to him,''O vilest of the Arabs, what art thou to bandy words with the Commander of the Faithful?'' |
8657 | Then said they to me,''Dost thou know us?'' |
8657 | Then she came up to me and said,"Methinks thou art the man in question?" |
8657 | Then she looked at Asaad and taking him for a slave, said to him,''What is thy name?'' |
8657 | Then she said to Nimeh,"Art thou indeed her lord?" |
8657 | Then she said to the damsel,"O Num, dost thou love thy lord Nimeh?" |
8657 | Then she turned to go, and I said to her,''What is to be done?'' |
8657 | Then she went up with him to the door, and the chamberlain on guard hailed her, saying,"What damsel is that?" |
8657 | Then the Khalif bade bring the smiter of the ball before him and said to him,''Who moved thee to do this thing and art thou friend or foe?'' |
8657 | Then the King said to Kemerezzeman,''O my son, what is this thou sayest to the eunuch and the Vizier of a fair damsel that lay with thee last night? |
8657 | Then the Sultan sent for Behram and bade strike off his head; but he said,''O most mighty King, art thou indeed resolved to put me to death?'' |
8657 | Then the princess turned to him and said,''O my lord Alaeddin, wilt thou accept of me to wife?'' |
8657 | Then they all sallied forth with us and I went up to the two lovers and saluting them, said to them,''What became of the damsel and the two maids?'' |
8657 | Then they said to Ali ben Bekkar,''And who art thou and what is thy condition?'' |
8657 | Then they sprinkled salt[FN#87] and the merchant, going in to his wife, gave her joy of her safe delivery and said,''Where is the gift of God?'' |
8657 | Then they turned to Ali ben Bekkar and said to him,''And thou, who and whence art thou? |
8657 | Then they went in to Zubeideh, after the goods had been brought in, and she said to her father,''O my father, whose goods are these?'' |
8657 | Then they went to the court and the Cadi said to Alaeddin,''Why dost thou not divorce the woman and take what falls to thee by the contract?'' |
8657 | Thou that for loving censures the votaries of love, Canst thou assain a heart diseased or heal a cankered brain? |
8657 | To whom of injustice complain, to whom for redress shall I sue? |
8657 | What ails thee to stand thus?'' |
8657 | What ails thee?'' |
8657 | What damsel is this of whom thou speakest?'' |
8657 | What doth thou counsel me to do now?'' |
8657 | What good was there in imprisoning him?'' |
8657 | What has this poor scavenger done that he should be bound with ropes?" |
8657 | What hath befallen him?'' |
8657 | What is its price?" |
8657 | What is this great army? |
8657 | What is this present month called in Arabic?'' |
8657 | What is thy case?" |
8657 | What is thy kind and what brings thee hither?" |
8657 | What sayest thou, O Commander of the Faithful, of this King''s conduct?" |
8657 | What sayst thou?" |
8657 | What sayst thou?'' |
8657 | What wantest thou of the market?'' |
8657 | What young lady is this of whom thou talkest? |
8657 | What, then, maketh thee seek that thou mayst not come at and desire what may not be, seeing that thou art of the beast and I of the bird kind? |
8657 | When Ali ben Bekkar had read this letter, he said,''With what hand shall I write and with what tongue shall I make moan and lament? |
8657 | When Budour heard this, she bowed her head and her forehead sweated for shame, and she said to herself,''How shall I do, and I a woman? |
8657 | When Budour heard this, she sat down again and said,''O my beloved, what is this thou sayest?'' |
8657 | When Kemerezzeman saw them on this wise, he said to them,''What ails you?'' |
8657 | When Maimouneh saw this, she was glad and said,''Saw ye how my beloved Kemerezzeman forbore this young lady? |
8657 | When he heard this, he said to her,''Wilt thou come to my lodging or shall I go with thee to thine?'' |
8657 | When he saw Maimouneh, he kissed the earth before her and standing with his hands clasped behind him, said,''What is thy will, O king''s daughter?'' |
8657 | When his mother saw him thus, she said to him,''What ails thee to weep, O my son?'' |
8657 | When his wife saw it, she said,''What is this?'' |
8657 | When his wife saw the slave, she said to her husband( who was the son of her father''s brother),"O my cousin, what is this damsel?" |
8657 | When shall we meet again? |
8657 | When she came, he said to her,"What moved thee to deal thus with thy lord?" |
8657 | When she heard talk of Asafiri olives, her heart yearned for them and she said to the captain,''How much olives hast thou?'' |
8657 | When she heard this, she smiled and said to Aboulhusn,''What is the name of this young man?'' |
8657 | When she stood before the Khalif, he said to her,''Dost thou know who this is?'' |
8657 | When the broker returned, after having delivered the girl and received his brokerage, Hebezlem called him and said to him,''Where is the girl?'' |
8657 | When the prince heard this, he left beating him and said,''Why couldst thou not tell me without blows and humiliation? |
8657 | When the shepherd saw the woman seated before him, his flesh shuddered with horror of her and he said to her,''O woman, what brings thee hither? |
8657 | When the slave saw him, he alighted and kissed his hands: and Alaeddin said,''What dost thou want?'' |
8657 | When the year came to an end, the King called his son to him and said,''O my son, wilt thou not hearken to me?'' |
8657 | When they heard it, they said,''And is this young man Ali ben Bekkar and this damsel Shemsennehar?'' |
8657 | When they revived, they missed Aboulhusn, who had hidden himself behind a couch, and the young lady said,''Where is Aboulhusn?'' |
8657 | Where is my husband? |
8657 | Where is she?" |
8657 | Where then is he that seeketh?" |
8657 | Where then is the seeker?'' |
8657 | Whilst yet there is left me a share in the world, Shall I see him, I wonder, or ever I''m sped? |
8657 | Whither can he have gone? |
8657 | Who is it doth good deeds alone And who hath never wrought unright? |
8657 | Who killed this young lady?'' |
8657 | Who was it came hither and took away the young lady from beside me, whilst I slept?'' |
8657 | Why then dost thou laugh in mockery of thyself?'' |
8657 | Will you come home with me?'' |
8657 | Wilt have me, O my censor, be solaced for my loves? |
8657 | Wilt thou be my Vizier?'' |
8657 | With this the young man turned towards Jaafer and said to him,''What ails thee and thy friend to be whispering together? |
8657 | Would''st have me be a slave, the bondsman of a slave, One cloistered and confined behind a wall alway? |
8657 | Ye spoke us a word aforetime; as ye spoke to us, will ye not do? |
8657 | [ FN#25] Wilt thou hide the truth? |
8657 | [ FN#60] What ails the nights? |
8657 | [ FN#91] Presently, in came the slaves with his father''s mule, and he said to them,''Whence comes this mule?'' |
8657 | answered I; and she said,"Hath thou made our house thine abiding- place?" |
8657 | asked Jaafer, and the Khalif answered,''Sawst thou not the marks of whips on his sides?'' |
8657 | said the Khalif,''and who could come by its like to sell it to thee?'' |
8657 | such a talent?" |
8657 | why art thou so self- satisfied?'' |
5612 | About a year after, he took him aside, and said to him, Well, son, have you thoroughly considered of what I proposed to you last year about marrying? |
5612 | About the middle of the might, the miller came to my brother, and said, Neighbour, are you asleep? |
5612 | After the first compliments were passed, they inquired what had brought me hither? |
5612 | Agreeable Maimoune, replied Danhasch, may I presume to ask you what this prince is called? |
5612 | Alas, sir, answered she, trembling, who are you? |
5612 | Am I not handsome and agreeable? |
5612 | Am not I a customer to your shop? |
5612 | Am not I unhappy to be born to love, without hope of enjoying him whom I love? |
5612 | Amgrad did all he could to hinder her: What are you doing, madam? |
5612 | Amgrad drank and rose: Where are you going? |
5612 | Amgrad, cried he, what shall we do? |
5612 | And do not you agree that there is no wickedness equal to that of women? |
5612 | And for what crime? |
5612 | And how can I, when I think of your sweet face, entertain that prince with that joy which he always observed in my eyes whenever he came to see me? |
5612 | And what did Imama to Ateca, replies the fisherman? |
5612 | And what hinders you from revealing the secret, says she? |
5612 | And what is that, says the fisherman? |
5612 | And why should I endeavour to live after she is dead? |
5612 | And why should not my eyes be inexhaustible fountains of tears? |
5612 | And why, fool, said the man of the house, do you not answer at first, when people ask you who is there? |
5612 | Another voice asked, What need had the princess of the dervize''s prayers? |
5612 | Are these the actions of Mussulmen, of persons who make professions of probity and justice, and practise all manner of good works? |
5612 | Are you in the contrivance, then, villain? |
5612 | Are you resolved to let me die, without giving me so much comfort as to tell me that you love me? |
5612 | Art thou not now convinced how much thy princess is inferior to my prince in charms? |
5612 | As soon as I saw him, I entreated him to alight, and asked him if he would not take his money? |
5612 | As soon as my wife heard me say so, she immediately cried out, What do you do, husband? |
5612 | Assad awoke at the noise he made, and asked, Who''s there? |
5612 | At these words the children cried out, Agib, What do you say? |
5612 | Bedreddin, astonished at the sight, said, with a pitiful tone, Pray, good people, why do you serve me so? |
5612 | Bedreddin, lifting up his head, said, What is the matter? |
5612 | Before I took leave of the merchant, I asked him if he knew the lady? |
5612 | Before we told down the money, she asked me several questions, and particularly if I was married? |
5612 | Besides, what is become of Schemselnihar and the prince of Persia? |
5612 | But captain, says I, was the merchant''s name, to whom those bales belonged, Sindbad? |
5612 | But for what, good nurse? |
5612 | But he soon heard a voice, which said, Do you know what honest man this is to whom we have done this piece of service? |
5612 | But how could she get into this tower without my consent? |
5612 | But is what you say true? |
5612 | But must we stop here? |
5612 | But pray, replies the cadi, what offence could your master do to me, to oblige me to use him after that rate? |
5612 | But shall we rather flatter ourselves that we may see one another? |
5612 | But tell me what sort of men your brothers are: were they like you? |
5612 | But tell me, replies he, Can you shoot with a bow? |
5612 | But then, brother, says he further, if this marriage should happen, would you expect that my son should settle a jointure on your daughter? |
5612 | But what do I say? |
5612 | But what means have I to come at the knowledge of her? |
5612 | But wherein have I offended you, replies the fisherman? |
5612 | But why do I talk of that? |
5612 | But why should your fear of wronging an innocent man hinder your putting this physician to death? |
5612 | But, replies he, how came you into my dominions, and from whence came you last? |
5612 | But, sir, says I, may I presume to demand of your majesty, if strangers be obliged to observe this law? |
5612 | By what adventure, said she,( fetching a deep sigh,) are you come hither? |
5612 | By what means will you now carry on your correspondence with Schemselnihar? |
5612 | Can I relish his kind words and caresses? |
5612 | Can I see the caliph cheek to cheek with her that I love, and not die of grief? |
5612 | Can not the heads you see on all the gates of this city deter you from such an undertaking? |
5612 | Can the wife of a sovereign, such as I am, be capable of such an infamous action? |
5612 | Can you flatter yourself so far as to believe that the trifling adventures of a young rake can make such an impression upon me as those of my jester? |
5612 | Dare you swear it by the name of the great God? |
5612 | Daughter, said she, you know well you was alone in this apartment; how then could any man come to you? |
5612 | Dear sister, said they to her, what is the matter? |
5612 | Dear sister, says Dinarzade, how surprising are the last events you have told us? |
5612 | Did not I expose myself to a greater danger in getting him out of a house where I thought he was ill- treated? |
5612 | Did not I tell you truly that you would expose your life by your obstinate refusal to let me go with you? |
5612 | Did not he throw himself into danger, and could he have come off so well without my assistance? |
5612 | Did not you sit down when you came hither, replies the genie? |
5612 | Did not you take dates out of your portmanteau, and, as you ate them, did not you throw the shells about on both sides? |
5612 | Did you not rise from me but now? |
5612 | Did you think I came so boldly into your house to ask alms? |
5612 | Do not you and I both know what is just? |
5612 | Do you assure me, then, that you will cure me of my leprosy, without making me take any potion, or applying any external medicine? |
5612 | Do you believe, said she, that the hope of seeing me would contribute any thing to rescue him from the danger he is in? |
5612 | Do you imagine that she has any real occasion for your stuffs? |
5612 | Do you know me? |
5612 | Do you know, continued he, that I am master of the secret to make you white, instead of being black as you are? |
5612 | Do you not see this poor man so heavy loaded, that he is scarcely able to stand under it? |
5612 | Do you remember ever seeing me before? |
5612 | Do you see this charming beauty? |
5612 | Do you take Heaven to be witness to this promise, says the genie? |
5612 | Do you think that I would suffer such a filthy fellow to touch me? |
5612 | Do you think there may not be a pastry- cook in the world who knows how to make cream- tarts as well as your son? |
5612 | Does not all that you see make you understand that it is the palace of a Bermecide? |
5612 | Dost thou think I am as perfidious an elf as thyself, and that I am capable of breaking the serious oath I have made? |
5612 | From whom have you this, answered the king, that you dare tell it me? |
5612 | Gentlemen, said he, I am much troubled for that young man and the lady; can you tell me any thing of them? |
5612 | God help you also, answered he, is it possible you do not know me? |
5612 | Good God, cried Bedreddin, what news is this? |
5612 | Good man, replied the servant, whence do you come, that you ask such a question? |
5612 | Good people, replied the cadi, for what should I assassinate your master, whom I do not know, and who has done no offence? |
5612 | Great queen, replied Assad, with tears in his eyes, does your majesty ask what my name was formerly, or what it is now? |
5612 | Had I not better, think you, have tarried in Bagdad, and undergone any fate, rather than have been reduced to this extremity? |
5612 | Has any thing disquieted you? |
5612 | Has he actually no other disease than what is occasioned by the love of me? |
5612 | Has he any reason to complain of me, and to give me so many bad words? |
5612 | Have I given you any occasion to be uneasy? |
5612 | Have you not read the inscription over the gate? |
5612 | Have you seen her confident? |
5612 | Have you shut those eyes that showed me so much love, and were all my joy? |
5612 | Having let down her veil, she told me that she wanted several sorts of the richest and finest stuffs, and asked me if I had them? |
5612 | He advanced towards the pan, and touching one of the fishes with his baton, says to it with a terrible voice,"Fish, art thou in thy duty?" |
5612 | He asked me who I was, and by what adventure I came into his dominions? |
5612 | He asked the princess, in great anger, what has happened to you, and why did you call me? |
5612 | He entered the court full of fear, and perceived a man, who asked him who he was? |
5612 | He has perhaps cured you only in appearance, and not radically; who knows but the medicines he has given you may in time have pernicious effects? |
5612 | He saluted me, and pulling out his handkerchief, where he had a sample of sesame and Turkey corn, asked me what a bushel of such sesame would fetch? |
5612 | He sent for the fisherman; and when he came, says to him, Fisherman, the fishes you have brought us make me very uneasy; where did you catch them? |
5612 | He stopped his horse, asked who she was, how she came to be alone in that place, and what she wanted? |
5612 | He then stepped towards the bed, and said to her, Pray, madam, tell me, is it long since I left you? |
5612 | He your husband, madam? |
5612 | Honest man, said the vizier, who art thou? |
5612 | How came that axe and those ropes there? |
5612 | How came the lady hither who lay with me tonight, and who brought her? |
5612 | How can I appear abroad again without mustachos? |
5612 | How can I have contributed to it? |
5612 | How could she get in here, and by what conveyance, without my consent? |
5612 | How could you resolve, says he, to bring me your own daughter? |
5612 | How did they take the punishment I commanded to be executed on them? |
5612 | How didst thou do, said he, to avoid being taken by the watch? |
5612 | How it comes that each of you have but one eye? |
5612 | How know you, replied the jeweller, that I have another house? |
5612 | How like you this bread? |
5612 | How little reason had I, says he, to think that no one was so unfortunate as myself? |
5612 | How long will you be silent? |
5612 | How shall I get rid of this cursed barber? |
5612 | How, madam, said he, what is it I must believe? |
5612 | How, replied I, did not you tell me the other day that he sat down before your window when you opened it to water your flower- pot? |
5612 | How, replied the gardener, do you imagine I will take these riches as mine which you found out? |
5612 | How, says the dog,, what would you have him to do? |
5612 | Hump- back, who was furiously mad at Bedreddin, suspecting him to be his rival, gave him a cross look, and said, And thou, what dost thou wait for? |
5612 | I also knew the captain; but, being persuaded that he believed me to be drowned, I went and asked him whose bales these were? |
5612 | I am a poet, an architect, nay, what is it I am not? |
5612 | I asked him what reason he had thus to despair? |
5612 | I asked the old woman what was become of the favourite lady? |
5612 | I asked them what brought them there? |
5612 | I believe such a violent proceeding was never heard of before; but against whom should I make my complaint? |
5612 | I called to him, and said, Good slave, pray thee tell me where thou hadst this apple? |
5612 | I cried, Dear cousin, what is the meaning of this? |
5612 | I entertained him very kindly, and asked him how his mistress did? |
5612 | I have e''en made an end of the fellow who was brought to me to be cured? |
5612 | I lifted up my head, and looking wistfully to my husband, Alas, said I, to what condition am I reduced? |
5612 | I must obey him; and what a dismal employment is that for a father? |
5612 | I own I am the man, replied Bedreddin; but pray what crime is that? |
5612 | I put on a sad countenance, and fetched many deep sighs, and began to squeeze out some tears: My good mother, said she, what is the matter with you? |
5612 | I question if ever you come back again on the same errand? |
5612 | I sat up, and asked her who she was? |
5612 | I saw Sindbad perish with my own eyes, and the passengers on board saw it as well as I, and yet you tell me that you are that Sindbad? |
5612 | I saw three apples lying by her, and asked where she had them? |
5612 | I should be glad to know of your majesty for what reason? |
5612 | I suffered myself to be tied as well as the rest, without speaking one word: for to what purpose should I have spoken, or made any resistance? |
5612 | I think you told me you left him behind in the city of the idolaters: can you tell me what he does there? |
5612 | I told him I had the headache, and hoped he would inquire no further; but he took a candle, and saw that my cheek was hurt: How comes this wound? |
5612 | I took out what was most valuable in my bales, and presented it to King Mihrage, who, knowing my misfortune, asked me how I came by such rarities? |
5612 | If I do not know him, said the princess, would you have me to make a lie on purpose to ruin him? |
5612 | If he is, how came he in, or who could have introduced him? |
5612 | If you cast your eyes on the other side, steering up towards Ethiopia, how many other objects of admiration? |
5612 | If you look, added he, towards the island that is formed by the two great branches of the Nile, what variety of verdure have you there? |
5612 | If you speak of the Nile, pray where is there a more admirable river? |
5612 | If your own breast can not keep your secret, how do you think that another person will keep it? |
5612 | Immediately the cadi ran himself, opened the door, and asked what they wanted? |
5612 | In the mean time, what advantage do you reap by all the indignities you suffer? |
5612 | In this condition, and after the thieves had left them, the prince said to the jeweller, What is to be done, my friend, in this conjuncture? |
5612 | In what can I serve you? |
5612 | In what terms shall I express the trouble that I am in? |
5612 | Is Schemselnihar then dead? |
5612 | Is he in my house? |
5612 | Is it a capital crime to make a bad creamtart? |
5612 | Is it bashfulness, said she, that keeps you from speaking? |
5612 | Is it from want of sense, or out of contempt? |
5612 | Is it not enough that he is accused of a design against your life to authorize you to take away his? |
5612 | Is it not just to kill him that has killed another? |
5612 | Is it not reasonable, that, after all this, I should enjoy a quiet and pleasant life? |
5612 | Is it possible they can be insensible of the dangerous consequences of their correspondence? |
5612 | Is it possible they should be capable of taking a man''s life for not putting pepper in a cream- tart? |
5612 | Is it possible, sir, said she, that you take me for an impudent beggar? |
5612 | Is it possible, thought I to myself, that these ladies can be so nice and vindictive for so small a fault? |
5612 | Is it so? |
5612 | Is it thus, replies the physician, that you reward me for curing you? |
5612 | Is it true what you say? |
5612 | Is it true, said he, that you are willing to deliver it for fifty sherriffs? |
5612 | Is not Grand Cairo the largest, the most populous, and the richest city in the universe? |
5612 | Is not this she, said he, whom the sultan my father would have had me marry? |
5612 | Is not this your hatchet? |
5612 | Is that true? |
5612 | It is your company alone that is comfortable to me: but, in a word, I conjure you not to dissemble with me; what news do you bring of Schemselnihar? |
5612 | Know ye, says the king, when he saw him, why I sent for you? |
5612 | Know you that pond, says the sultan to the vizier? |
5612 | Madam, answered the nurse, is it to jest and impose upon us that your highness asks these questions? |
5612 | Madam, said he, how could you live with such wicked people as I have now so justly revenged myself upon? |
5612 | Madam, says the caliph, where is the bundle of hair? |
5612 | May I flatter myself that yours have the same impatience to see me? |
5612 | May not I have so much time, said he, as to take some money and jewels along with me? |
5612 | May one ask you; said I, by what mischance it was that you lost your right hand? |
5612 | Mr Bedreddin, said I to the merchant, what do you say, you must have for this stuff that belongs to me? |
5612 | Must I be rifled, and have all the godds in my house broken in pieces, imprisoned in a chest, and at last nailed to a stake? |
5612 | Must fate add new misfortunes to just complaints? |
5612 | Must such a passionate love as mine be disturbed by so potent a rival? |
5612 | My brother gave no answer, and knocked a second time: the master of the house asked again, Who is there? |
5612 | My dear little one, said he, what hast thou in thy bosom? |
5612 | My dear lord, says she, do not I deceive myself? |
5612 | My dear sisters, says she, are you content that they come in? |
5612 | My lord, replied the slave, I know of no such lady; and if there was any such, how should she come in without my knowledge, since I lay at the door? |
5612 | My lord, said the Jew, then you sell unto me, for a thousand sequins, the lading of the first of your ships that shall arrive in port? |
5612 | My lovely black, replies she, what do you mean by the roots? |
5612 | My son, said, he, you seem to be a young man well educated, and of good sense; how is it possible that you could be guilty of such an unworthy action? |
5612 | No, let me rather die, said the prince; for what signifies it whether I die here or elsewhere? |
5612 | No, said the younger, I will not consent to that; are we not brethren, and equal in title and dignity? |
5612 | Oh, Lord, and for what( cried the lady, feigning astonishment) would they have used you so cruelly? |
5612 | On his arrival, king Camaralzaman asked him if he had done what he ordered? |
5612 | One day as I sat taking the cool air at my gate, a very fine lady came to me, and asked if I did not sell stuffs? |
5612 | One day he knocked thus at a door, and the master of the house, who was alone, cried, Who is there? |
5612 | One of them says to the other, Is not the queen much in the wrong not to love such an amiable prince as this? |
5612 | Perfidious wretch, said the genie to her, pointing at me, is not this your gallant? |
5612 | Pray tell us your history, for it must be extraordinary; how did you venture yourself into this river, and whence did you come? |
5612 | Pray, tell me what crime I am guilty of, to have deserved this usage? |
5612 | Princess, cried I, what means all this? |
5612 | See now what has happened to you by your own fault; and if I had not resolutely followed you to see whither you went, what would have become of you? |
5612 | Seeing that he did not enter, Why do not you come into your house? |
5612 | She is not afraid to expose her life for me, and would you have me to regard mine? |
5612 | She returned a third time; and, at that interview, when we were both warm with wine, she spoke thus: My dear heart, what do you think of me? |
5612 | Should not I and my family be quite destroyed? |
5612 | Silent man, said he to him, I understand that you know wonderful stories; will you tell me some of them? |
5612 | Silent man, said the sultan, speak to me; why do you laugh so hard? |
5612 | Sir, replied one of the domestics, will you listen to a robber, who enters people''s houses to plunder and murder them? |
5612 | Sir, said he, with a dulness that put me out of all patience, what reason have you to be angry with me? |
5612 | Sir, said the barber, what do you mean by that? |
5612 | Sir, says he, why would your majesty take away my life? |
5612 | Some days after, not knowing who I was, he asked me if I knew any trade? |
5612 | Son, said he, I desire you to tell me what lady that was who lay with you last night, as I have been told? |
5612 | Son, said he, what are you going to do? |
5612 | Tell me rather by what miracle you became intrusted with the rarest treasure that ever was in the world? |
5612 | Tell me, I conjure you, added he, what cruel lady this is, who forces people to love her, without giving them time to advise? |
5612 | Tell me, is it just to impute an unhappy accident to people who no ways contributed towards it? |
5612 | Tell me, said the princess, what is become of the young man that has lain with me to- night, and whom I love with all my soul? |
5612 | Tell me, then, wandering spirit, whence thou comest, what thou hast seen, and what mischief thou hast done this night? |
5612 | That is very strange, says the fisherman, are you resolved to reward good for evil? |
5612 | The brokers and criers having thus promised to put me in a way of losing nothing by my goods, I asked them what course they would have me take? |
5612 | The caliph, moved with compassion, says to the fisherman, Hast thou the courage to go back and cast thy nets once more? |
5612 | The caliph, perceiving that he did not meddle with me, grew angry: Did not I command thee, said he, to cut off the heads of ten highwaymen? |
5612 | The caliph, who heard this, came up to him and the other calenders, and asked them what might be the meaning of all this? |
5612 | The captain, in his turn, demanded of the prince whether he was not a debtor to the king of Ebene? |
5612 | The case being so, what a fool am I to kill myself with grief? |
5612 | The cock, standing up on tip- toe, answers the dog fiercely, And why should I not do it to- day as well as other days? |
5612 | The day after the death of the youngest, not finding her at table, I asked her eldest sister what was become of her? |
5612 | The eunuch, perceiving that he followed them, was extremely surprised: You impertinent fellow, said he, with an angry tone, what do you want? |
5612 | The eunuch, redoubling his pace, with much difficulty got up with him, when, taking him by the arm, he cried, Whither away so fast, sir? |
5612 | The farmer''s daughter came: My good maid, says I, can you restore my son to his former shape? |
5612 | The genie( continued she) having promised to speak the truth, the fisherman says to him, I would know if you were actually in this vessel? |
5612 | The grandmother, frowning on the eunuch, said, How now, Schaban? |
5612 | The judge did not give ear to all that was said in my behalf, but asked the cayalier if he suspected anybody else besides me? |
5612 | The lady hearing of my arrival, and that I was not well, came to me in all haste: My dear soul, said she, what is the matter with you? |
5612 | The lady, on the contrary, being transported at the sight, cried out, How, my lord, did you fear there was nothing ready? |
5612 | The lady, seeing a handsome young man just come out of the bath, asked him, with a smiling air, whither he was going? |
5612 | The lady, who enjoyed his confusion, said, Once more, I pray you, my lord, come to bed again; why do you stand? |
5612 | The master of the house being surprised, stopped him: Where are you going? |
5612 | The neighbourhood came, and asked what ailed him, and what relief he wanted that they could give? |
5612 | The pastry- cook, seeing them all gone, asked him what he was, and who brought him hither? |
5612 | The people who gathered pepper came to meet me, and, as soon as they saw me, asked me in Arabic, who I was, and whence I came? |
5612 | The queen answered, have you two names then? |
5612 | The sultan asked the fisherman, how far the pond might be from the palace? |
5612 | The sultan caused them to bring in a chess- board, and asked me, by a sign, if I understood that game, and would play with him? |
5612 | The sultan smiled at the barber''s liberty, and replied, Why do you ask? |
5612 | The sultan, perceiving his surprise, said to him in a mild way, Do you know, son, for what reason I have sent for you hither? |
5612 | The young man cast his eyes upon me, and said, My good lady, pray let me know who you are, and what has brought you to this desolate city? |
5612 | Then addressing himself to the audience, Did you ever hear, said he, such a surprising story as has happened on account of my little crooked buffoon? |
5612 | Then she will prostrate herself at my feet, kiss them, and say to me, Sir, is it possible that you can suspect my daughter''s chastity? |
5612 | Then tell me sincerely, said he, how you came by this wound? |
5612 | Then the caliph asked the criminals which of them it was that so cruelly murdered the lady, and threw her into the Tigris? |
5612 | Therefore I answered the genie, How should I know her, that never saw her till now? |
5612 | This action frightened the fisherman: Genie, says he, what is the meaning of that; will not you keep the oath you made, just now? |
5612 | This is my history, O prince of genies, do not you think it very extraordinary? |
5612 | This is the history of myself and this bitch, is it not one of the most wonderful and surprising that can be? |
5612 | This, sir, is the story I had to tell you: does not your majesty find it yet more surprising than that of the crooked buffoon? |
5612 | Those blacks, replied they, eat men; but by what miracle did you escape their cruelty? |
5612 | To this end, he sent immediately for the fisherman, and says to him, Friend, can not you bring me four more such fishes? |
5612 | To whom, think you, belongs this slave? |
5612 | Unhappy wretch, said the sultan, art thou worthy that I should answer thy discourse? |
5612 | Upon this the sultan said again to his daughter, How do you know that this prince has been transformed by enchantment into an ape? |
5612 | Upon this, the beautiful lady says to her, Pray sister, come in, what do you stay for? |
5612 | Upon which, turning to me, And thou, said he, dost thou hot know her? |
5612 | Very well, replies the fisherman, shall I speak to you with more civility, and call you the owl of good luck? |
5612 | Very well, says the enchantress, to pacify you, I am ready to do what you will command me; would you that I restore him as he was? |
5612 | Was it not enough to be afflicted for the death of so dear a father? |
5612 | Was it not you, replied they, who made the cream- tart you sold to the eunuch? |
5612 | Was it not you, said they, who sold this eunuch the cream- tart? |
5612 | Was it you that took the gentleman''s purse from him? |
5612 | Well then, my abused daughter, said he, can you give me no further light into this matter? |
5612 | Well, cried Schemseddin, turning to Schaban, after all this, will you continue to deny that you entered the pastry- cook''s house, and ate there? |
5612 | Well, how do you relish it? |
5612 | Well, replies the king, why is that book so precious as you talk of? |
5612 | Well, said the king, in what condition did you find my son? |
5612 | Were you born blind of the right eye? |
5612 | What a prodigious number of cities, villages, canals, and a thousand other agreeable objects? |
5612 | What answer, however, could the jeweller have made, in the deplorable condition he was placed? |
5612 | What are you afraid of? |
5612 | What beauty, or rather what prodigy of beauty, said she within herself, will this youth appear, when his so well formed eye- lids shall be open? |
5612 | What can the matter be that he does not make use of his right hand? |
5612 | What can this mean? |
5612 | What could I say when I felt myself so cruelly tortured? |
5612 | What crime can he have committed, to deserve this rigorous treatment? |
5612 | What crime have I committed? |
5612 | What do you mean, Sindbad? |
5612 | What do you mean, sir, said some who stood near him, to expose thus your life, which promises so much, to certain death? |
5612 | What enamel of all sorts of flowers? |
5612 | What fable do you tell me? |
5612 | What had that vizier done, says the Grecian king, to deserve punishment? |
5612 | What has he done to obtain from thee a lot so agreeable, and what have I done to deserve one so miserable? |
5612 | What has he done to you? |
5612 | What hast thou got in these trunks? |
5612 | What have I done to be subject to the severe law of not being able to enjoy the person whom I love? |
5612 | What have I done? |
5612 | What have you been doing, that you came no sooner? |
5612 | What impudence is this? |
5612 | What is the matter? |
5612 | What is the meaning of this? |
5612 | What misfortune befel the ass? |
5612 | What news is that, replied the prince, which could give my father so great uneasiness? |
5612 | What proportion is there between the punishment and the crime? |
5612 | What said she to you? |
5612 | What shall I do? |
5612 | What time do you demand then, replies the genie? |
5612 | What water was ever lighter or more delicious? |
5612 | What will I do? |
5612 | What will it be when you are obliged to part? |
5612 | What will not the world say of such a bloody rage? |
5612 | What will they say of us if we break them? |
5612 | What will you do with me, then? |
5612 | What would you say, if you had seen the fine prince whom I am just come from, and whom I love with a passion equal to his desert? |
5612 | What, said the genie, he is the cause of thy being in the condition thou art justly in; and yet darest thou say thou dost not know him? |
5612 | What, says the caliph, are you not of the family? |
5612 | What, son, replied Fatima; have you then more reasons than those you have already advanced? |
5612 | Whatever misfortune befals me, I can not forbear asking, why you bedaubed your faces with black? |
5612 | When Bahader and prince Amgrad were in the court, Bahader demanded of the prince, how the lady came into his house, and why they broke open his door? |
5612 | When he arrived, he heard the ass say to the ox, Comrade, tell me, I pray you, what you intend to do to- morrow, when the labourer brings you meat? |
5612 | When he had ended his story, without hiding any part of it, he asked him which was the nearest way to his father''s territories? |
5612 | When he had got the purse in his hand, he asked the horseman if it was his, and how much money was in it? |
5612 | When he had read what the king of Serendib wrote to him, he asked me if that prince was really so rich and potent as he had said in his letter? |
5612 | When he saw that the slave made no haste to obey his orders, Why do not you strike? |
5612 | When the captain heard me speak thus, O heaven, says he, whom can we ever trust now- a- days? |
5612 | When the officers brought him before the magistrate, he asked him where he had the goods which he carried home last night? |
5612 | When they come to fasten you to the stall, why do not you make resistance? |
5612 | When will the time come that I shall enjoy it without fear of being ever deprived of it? |
5612 | Where are they who enjoy quietly the happiness which they hold of her, and whose day is always clear and serene?" |
5612 | Where does he live? |
5612 | Where have you been? |
5612 | Where shall I find her, and how seek for her? |
5612 | Whilst I looked upon her, I heard the voice of a man from under ground, who immediately appeared to me, and asked who I was? |
5612 | Whilst she was thus bewailing herself, in comes the grand vizier, and asked her if the fishes were ready? |
5612 | Whither art thou going? |
5612 | Whither canst thou fly for refuge against the unjust prince who persecutes thee? |
5612 | Whither could he go? |
5612 | Whither do you go then, sir? |
5612 | Who are you? |
5612 | Who can assure me that I shall be more successful than you have been? |
5612 | Who knows but fortune waits, upon my getting off this dangerous shelve, to compensate my shipwreck with usury? |
5612 | Whom do you seek? |
5612 | Whom do you wait for? |
5612 | Why are you so cast down? |
5612 | Why art thou not gone as well as the rest? |
5612 | Why did she come to sleep only, inflame you with her beauty, and then leave you while you was in a slumber? |
5612 | Why did you not ask money of me, and I would have lent it you? |
5612 | Why did you not take care to wash your hands after eating of that cursed ragoo? |
5612 | Why do you give any body the trouble to come and open the door when they speak to you? |
5612 | Why do you sigh and cry so bitterly? |
5612 | Why should you require of me, said she, with a profound sigh, what will but renew my grief? |
5612 | Why, I sent for you, said the sultan, to let you know that I design to marry you: what do you think of it? |
5612 | Why, how did you kill this man? |
5612 | Why, madam, said I, wherein have I deserved your displeasure? |
5612 | Why, said my brother, can not a man carry a knife without being a highwayman? |
5612 | Why, said the lady in a surprise, why do you offer to use me so? |
5612 | Why, then, do not you enter? |
5612 | Why, then, hast thou cut off but nine? |
5612 | Will not the arrival of the caliph put me in mind of your departure? |
5612 | Will you absolutely take away the life of a poor innocent? |
5612 | Will you be pleased to allow me the comfort of giving her this last testimony of my friendship? |
5612 | Will you do me the honour to come to my home? |
5612 | Will you not tell us whether she received the chastisement she deserved? |
5612 | Will you stain your hands and your palace with your own blood? |
5612 | Will you still refuse me the satisfaction I desire, and let me die without seeing myself revive in your posterity? |
5612 | Woe be to thee, replies the genius, hast thou the boldness to venture to marry my mistress? |
5612 | Would it not have been better, think you, and much more for his honour and quiet, that he had never run such a risk? |
5612 | Would you have me to transport all the stones of those walls, so solidly built, beyond mount Caucasus, and out of the bounds of the habitable world? |
5612 | Yes, replied he, I am the man, and who says any thing against it? |
5612 | You believe him then to be dead, said I? |
5612 | You do not tell me truth, said he; he is your father, not mine; but whose son am I? |
5612 | You have lost your thumb, said the master of the house; how came that about? |
5612 | You have travelled, said I, and what have you gained by it? |
5612 | You impertinent prattler, said I, will you have done, and begin to shave me? |
5612 | You jest, sir, said he; if your friends have invited you to a feast, why should you hinder me to accompany you? |
5612 | You know by what medicine, or rather by what miracle, he cured me of my leprosy; if he had a design upon my life, why did he save me? |
5612 | You were about, added he, to put to death an innocent person; for how can he be guilty of the death of a man who was dead before he saw him? |
5612 | You, who know the cause of my tears, have you no pity for my unfortunate condition? |
5612 | Your stubbornness, replies the vizier, will make me angry; why will you run headlong to your ruin? |
5612 | Zobeide says to the two ladies, when she came to them, Sisters, do not you see that this honest man is like to sink under his burden? |
5612 | ], to write? |
5612 | a man or a genie? |
5612 | after the hideous sacrifice you have just consummated, can you see me with so much satisfaction? |
5612 | and I am no less curious to know why another of you has her bosom full of scars? |
5612 | and do you not know that you are at one of the gates of Damascus? |
5612 | and it is you that come down the chimney to rob me, is it? |
5612 | and whereabouts do you live? |
5612 | and why you are alone? |
5612 | and, in short, why do not you frighten them by bellowing aloud? |
5612 | are you mad? |
5612 | brother, are you then one of those who believe me mad? |
5612 | can not I prevail with you then? |
5612 | cried I, embracing him, how could I know you in this condition? |
5612 | cried I, why do you not swallow up that monster in nature, or rather why do you not swallow up the gallant and his mistress? |
5612 | cried he, what hast thou done? |
5612 | cried she, is it you the king my father has designed me for a husband? |
5612 | cried the prince, how would you have me answer so kind a letter? |
5612 | cried they, laying hold of him; and dare you say that you are not a robber? |
5612 | cried they, redoubling their blows, would you have us to believe you are an honest man, when your back convinces us to the contrary? |
5612 | dare you say that the vizier Schemseddin is not my father? |
5612 | did not Crook- back lie with you last night? |
5612 | do not you know me? |
5612 | does not thy barbarity surpass my vengeance? |
5612 | dost thou deserve to live after the execrable crime which thou hast committed? |
5612 | dost thou not now see what thy contest is come to? |
5612 | has not the genie a very faithful mistress? |
5612 | has our master so little sense? |
5612 | have you abated that excessive love he had for me? |
5612 | have you the insolence to talk thus to your father and sultan? |
5612 | how came you to know her? |
5612 | how could he find out the untracked way of the mountains, and the untrodden paths of the vallies? |
5612 | how would you have us go? |
5612 | how you came to be here? |
5612 | in attempting the life of the object whom I adore, hast thou not robbed me of mine? |
5612 | is it certain that I hear you, and that you speak to me? |
5612 | is it possible that I am still alive after so many torments as I have suffered? |
5612 | is that charming prince then, dead? |
5612 | ladies, whither do you command me to go in the condition I am in? |
5612 | must I then die in the prime of my youth? |
5612 | my dear friend, said she, by your being here at this time of night, you must be my husband''s comrade? |
5612 | my good lord, of what crime can I be guilty towards you, that you should take away my life? |
5612 | my lord, replies the young man, how is it possible but I should grieve? |
5612 | nor can you resolve us concerning the two black bitches and the lady that fainted away, and has been so basely abused? |
5612 | or do you come on purpose to tell me you do not love me? |
5612 | or is it want of confidence in me? |
5612 | or rather did she not promise to see you, and restore those bitches to their natural shape? |
5612 | replied Maimoune, what hurt canst thou do me? |
5612 | replied he; can you retain these thoughts so long? |
5612 | replied the Bermecide; and are you fasting till now? |
5612 | replied the lady; is it not your house? |
5612 | replied the merchant, can nothing prevail with you? |
5612 | replied the princess, how is it possible I should execute what you would force me to do? |
5612 | replied the princess, without giving the king leave to go on; do you ask me if any one lay with me last night? |
5612 | replied the queen: what occasion did you give my daughter for using you so ill? |
5612 | replies he, how do you think I should obtain that favour you wish me? |
5612 | replies he, in a passion, have you lost your senses, daughter, that you make such a dangerous request to me? |
5612 | replies the queen, why do you reproach me thus? |
5612 | said Amgrad, with a fierce tone and a fiery look, is there such a slave as thou in all the world? |
5612 | said Assad, we have but a short time to live, and what need have we to quench our thirst? |
5612 | said Bedreddin, what do you mean to do with a stake? |
5612 | said I to myself, this affront is insufferable; how shall I dare to return to Moussol? |
5612 | said Schemseddin roughly? |
5612 | said he in a passion, do you appear before me thus? |
5612 | said he to my brother; ought you not to be ashamed to abuse thus a young spouse, who gave you no cause to complain? |
5612 | said he to the eunuch, as soon as he had read it through, is this the fidelity thou owest thy master and thy king? |
5612 | said he, canst thou suffer me to die an ignominious and painful death? |
5612 | said he, do not you remember it? |
5612 | said he, do you feign yourselves blind then, and under that pretext cheat people, by begging their charity, and abusing poor women? |
5612 | said he, is it thus that a Christian dares to assassinate a Mussulman? |
5612 | said he, rubbing his eyes, am I asleep or awake? |
5612 | said he, speaking to me, and are not these your cords? |
5612 | said he, unfortunate Bedreddin, what will become of thee? |
5612 | said he, what induced me to come down without a light? |
5612 | said he, where hadst thou this apple? |
5612 | said he, you pitiful wretch, have you the impudence to abuse the trust I repose in you? |
5612 | said he; what have I done? |
5612 | said he; who is it that holds you? |
5612 | said he; who placed you thus? |
5612 | said my brother, what have you to say against me? |
5612 | said my brother, why do you beat me? |
5612 | said she, does my child thus despise the work of my hands? |
5612 | said she, what is the meaning of this? |
5612 | said the Bermecide; do not you find it very good? |
5612 | said the despairing lover, if I knew which way to return, how durst I appear before my princess without her talisman? |
5612 | said the king, has any one lain with you last night? |
5612 | said the lady; and why do you take the cup with your left hand instead of your right? |
5612 | said the prince, do you not awake at these testimonies of love given you by prince Camaralzaman? |
5612 | said the vizier, was it not you who made the cream- tart you sent me? |
5612 | said the vizier, what favour? |
5612 | said they, what other thing could be capable of grieving us, but the necessity of parting from you? |
5612 | says he to himself, I am scarce out of my palace, and but just under the walls of Samarcande, and dare they put such an outrage upon me? |
5612 | says he, is the sultaness of the Indies capable of prostituting herself in so base a manner? |
5612 | says she, addressing herself to the sultan, while she thought she spoke to the black, my soul, my life, will you always be silent? |
5612 | says she, what will become of me? |
5612 | says the first, how would you have him to perceive it? |
5612 | says the genie, if you have a mind to know it, open the vessel; do you think that I can be in a humour to tell stories in so strait a prison? |
5612 | says the merchant, how should I kill your son? |
5612 | says the sultan, are not these admirable characters written by the hands of a man? |
5612 | shouldst thou not rather have staid at home, and quietly enjoyed the fruits of thy labour? |
5612 | thinks I within myself: What will become of me? |
5612 | thou wretch, said he, is this your inspection into the actions of my people? |
5612 | was the care of my grandchild committed to you to carry him to eat at pastry- shops like a beggar? |
5612 | what are you disputing about? |
5612 | what art thou waiting for? |
5612 | what did you hear? |
5612 | what is that news, madam, said I? |
5612 | what is the meaning of this miracle? |
5612 | what news dost thou bring? |
5612 | what obligations, said she, are the prince of Persia and I under to that honest man you speak of? |
5612 | what this castle is? |
5612 | which way return? |
5612 | who can assure you of that? |
5612 | who ever heard of such a thing? |
5612 | why do not you ease him of it? |
5612 | why do not you strike them with your horns, and show that you are angry by striking your foot against the ground? |
8655 | Am I mad,answered the groom,"that I should go with thee without the Afrit''s leave? |
8655 | And because it lacked pepper,said Bedreddin,"wilt thou do all this to me? |
8655 | And did not thy mistress escape? |
8655 | And how came it to be cut off? |
8655 | And how fared it with thee in the house? |
8655 | And is all this in the world? |
8655 | And what befell thee after this? |
8655 | And what happened to them? |
8655 | And what is in this book? |
8655 | And what was that? |
8655 | And why wilt thou use me thus? 8655 Art thou blind?" |
8655 | Art thou he who made the mess of pomegranate- seed? |
8655 | Can this be true? |
8655 | Did not my younger daughter escape? |
8655 | Dost thou not know,answered I,"that I am bound by an oath?" |
8655 | How call''st thou this thy dress? |
8655 | How much longer must I wait? |
8655 | How should the groom have access to thee,asked Bedreddin,"and how should he share with me in thee?" |
8655 | How was that? 8655 I am a man,"answered I; and she said,"And who brought thee to this place, where I have dwelt five- and- twenty years without seeing man?" |
8655 | I will well, O my lady,rejoined my brother;"but what made thee choose me of all men for this affair and what is it pleases thee in me?" |
8655 | In what wilt thou expose me? |
8655 | No,replied I; and he said,"What became of the mule I use to ride? |
8655 | Not even thy master, my elder son? |
8655 | O Beauty,said they,"dost thou know his like?" |
8655 | O King,said Douban,"is this my reward from thee? |
8655 | O accursed one,answered she,"how could there be a compact between me and the like of thee?" |
8655 | O dog, son of a dog,exclaimed my master,"O most accursed of slaves, is this but a half lie? |
8655 | O folk,said my brother,"what ails you?" |
8655 | O loser,answered he,"why didst thou not answer me, when I asked who was at the door?" |
8655 | O man,answered my brother,"why couldst thou not tell me this downstairs?" |
8655 | O mighty King,answered the Vizier,"what harm has this physician done me that I should wish his death? |
8655 | O my father,answered she,"what more can I tell thee? |
8655 | O my lord,replied my brother,"how should one who has eaten of all these dishes be hungry?" |
8655 | O my lord,said Bedreddin,"wilt thou not tell me my crime and what ails the pomegranate- seed?" |
8655 | O my mother,asked he,"how shall I do to come at her?" |
8655 | O my son,said Bedreddin,"hast thou then suffered the loss of friends, at thy tender age?" |
8655 | O my son,said his grandmother,"dost thou find fault with my cookery? |
8655 | Out on thee,rejoined Mesoudeh;"has our lord any knowledge of this or does she leave him any choice? |
8655 | What crime could be greater than this? |
8655 | What dost thou want? |
8655 | What hurry is there? |
8655 | What is it, O my lady? |
8655 | What is it? |
8655 | What is that? |
8655 | What is that? |
8655 | What is this thou sayest? |
8655 | What is thy story? |
8655 | What wouldst thou have me do? |
8655 | Where is the man? |
8655 | Wherefore? |
8655 | Who brought thee hither? |
8655 | Who has done this thing unto them? |
8655 | Who is she? |
8655 | Why dost thou look on one, who loves thee, as if she were a beggar? 8655 Wilt thou ruin all the folk on my account,"said I,"when this that befell me was decreed of God?" |
8655 | Yes,replied Bedreddin;"didst thou find aught in it to call for the cutting off of my head?" |
8655 | [ FN#12] But he said to me, weeping,Dost thou not recognize me?" |
8655 | ''And thou art my Vizier and I came hither with thee; yet thou knewest me not; so how should Gaffer Ibrahim know me, and he drunk? |
8655 | ''And what ails his daughter?'' |
8655 | ''And what ails our master, O dog?'' |
8655 | ''And what did Umameh with Aatikeh?'' |
8655 | ''And what is the remedy?'' |
8655 | ''And what is there to hinder?'' |
8655 | ''And why dost thou weep and laugh?'' |
8655 | ''Art thou not ashamed?'' |
8655 | ''Art thou not ashamed?'' |
8655 | ''Art thou not ashamed?'' |
8655 | ''Belike,''said Ibrahim,''thou wishest for wine?'' |
8655 | ''Did I not tell thee,''replied the Marid,''that is why I kill thee?'' |
8655 | ''Did he nought else with thee?'' |
8655 | ''Didst thou not say that thou wast a King''s son?'' |
8655 | ''Do I not use to take great store of costly stuffs of thee, at a greater profit than thou askest, and send thee the money?'' |
8655 | ''Do n''t you know?'' |
8655 | ''Does not what thou hast brought upon me suffice thee,''replied I,''but thou must pursue me with the like of this talk through the public streets?'' |
8655 | ''For whom is the second bed?'' |
8655 | ''Hast thou not heard it said......?'' |
8655 | ''Have I not told thee that I am bidden abroad to- day? |
8655 | ''Have ye not heard what the poet says? |
8655 | ''How did I slay thy son?'' |
8655 | ''How many days''journey hence?'' |
8655 | ''How shall the dog sit in the lion''s place? |
8655 | ''How should I not weep,''answered he''being in such a plight?'' |
8655 | ''How so?'' |
8655 | ''How so?'' |
8655 | ''How so?'' |
8655 | ''How so?'' |
8655 | ''How so?'' |
8655 | ''I will well,''replied I;''how could I hope for such good fortune?'' |
8655 | ''If,''said Noureddin,''that unlucky ass there be cursed, will any part of the curse fall on thee?'' |
8655 | ''Is this my reward for setting thee free?'' |
8655 | ''May God show no mercy to my father,''exclaimed I,''for knowing the like of thee?'' |
8655 | ''Must I tell thee?'' |
8655 | ''O Ali,''replied the Vizier,''dost thou think to fright me with this talk? |
8655 | ''O Commander of the Faithful,''replied the Vizier,''am I inspector of murdered folk, that I should know who killed her?'' |
8655 | ''O Gaffer Ibrahim,''said the Khalif,''what state is this in which I see thee?'' |
8655 | ''O Ilmeddin,''asked Noureddin,''what is the matter?'' |
8655 | ''O King of the age,''rejoined he,''dost thou know how far it is from here to thy capital?'' |
8655 | ''O King of the age,''replied the barber,''why are all these men and this dead hunchback before thee?'' |
8655 | ''O fisher man,''said Noureddin,''wilt thou hear our story in prose or verse?'' |
8655 | ''O madman,''answered she,''what made thee eat of ragout of cumin- seed, without washing thy hands? |
8655 | ''O my beloved and light of my eyes,''rejoined he,''how shall I do to get away, when they have surrounded the house?'' |
8655 | ''O my beloved, O my little black,''said she,''what is the root?'' |
8655 | ''O my father,''replied Noureddin,''how should I not deal fairly by her?'' |
8655 | ''O my father,''said Noureddin,''who is like unto thee? |
8655 | ''O my lady,''answered she,''as I was sitting here, there came in a handsome young man, who said to me,"Art thou she whom my father bought for me?" |
8655 | ''O my lady,''replied he,''what ails him?'' |
8655 | ''O my lord,''said Noureddin,''to whom does the garden belong?'' |
8655 | ''Then what is become of Cout el Culoub?'' |
8655 | ''Then,''said she,''why dost thou not give thine enemy money and so appease him?'' |
8655 | ''Was any one else by thee?'' |
8655 | ''Well, Kezib el Ban?'' |
8655 | ''Were we not here at nightfall,''asked the first,''and did we not leave the gate open?'' |
8655 | ''What ails thee, O Kafour?'' |
8655 | ''What but that thou advisest me?'' |
8655 | ''What has he done that I should beat him?'' |
8655 | ''What hurry is there?'' |
8655 | ''What is my crime?'' |
8655 | ''What is that?'' |
8655 | ''What is that?'' |
8655 | ''What is that?'' |
8655 | ''What is to be done?'' |
8655 | ''What is to be done?'' |
8655 | ''What is to be done?'' |
8655 | ''What makes thee think me mad?'' |
8655 | ''What news?'' |
8655 | ''What shall I do?'' |
8655 | ''What words are these, O my lord?'' |
8655 | ''What words are these?'' |
8655 | ''Where are the strange men?'' |
8655 | ''Where is he?'' |
8655 | ''Who are they,''asked the Afrit,''and what is their story?'' |
8655 | ''Who art thou?'' |
8655 | ''Who ever heard of a fisherman writing to kings?'' |
8655 | ''Who is at the door?'' |
8655 | ''Why dost thou laugh?'' |
8655 | ''Why dost thou waste time in idle lamentation?'' |
8655 | ''Why so?'' |
8655 | ''Why wilt thou go away to- day?'' |
8655 | --''Why wilt thou open them?'' |
8655 | After awhile, the Vizier died, and the King said,''Whom shall we make Vizier in his stead?'' |
8655 | And Noureddin said to his father''Am I of so little account with thee?'' |
8655 | And another,"Thou art mad; how couldst thou lie yesternight in Cairo and awake this morning in Damascus?" |
8655 | And behold, he went up to the door of the damsel''s chamber and entering, said to her,''Art thou she whom my father bought for me?'' |
8655 | And he said to the King,"Is this my reward from thee? |
8655 | And his best friends fell to beating him and saying,"Dost thou give us man''s flesh to eat?" |
8655 | And in came the old woman, to whom said he,"Dost thou know me, O pestilent old woman?" |
8655 | And indeed she was confounded and her reason fled, when she saw him, and she said,"O my lord, how did you escape, thou and thy friends the merchants?" |
8655 | And repeated the following verse: How long ere this rigour pass sway and thou relent? |
8655 | And she repeated the following verses: What ails me that I waste the time in idle grief, Until I find no friend mishap for me to bear? |
8655 | And she said to Agib,"O my son, where hast thou been?" |
8655 | And she said to one of them,''Wast thou born blind of one eye?'' |
8655 | And she was restored to her right mind and veiled her face, saying,''What has happened and who brought me hither?'' |
8655 | And the Sultan said,"How comes it that we have never heard of him?" |
8655 | And they answered,''What sayest thou to the peeled barleycorn?'' |
8655 | And they cursed me and reviled me, whilst I stood laughing and saying,"How can my master kill me, when he bought me with this fault?" |
8655 | And they made signs to each other to pass first, till she said,"Why do I see you make signs to each other? |
8655 | And turning to my brother,"O my guest,"said he,"sawst thou ever aught better than this frumenty? |
8655 | And what ails thee to take the cup with thy left hand?'' |
8655 | And who hath provoked thee to turn from my pain? |
8655 | And yet if one asked,''Who''s the happiest man alive?'' |
8655 | Are not the tears that I have shed enough to soften thee? |
8655 | Are you secure against the shifts of time and evil chance, That you''ve no mercy on my love nor aught of pity deign? |
8655 | Art thou not ashamed of thyself?'' |
8655 | Art thou not ashamed?'' |
8655 | As we sat talking, my sisters said to me,"O sister, what wilt thou do with this handsome young man?" |
8655 | At last he said,''O my sisters, what is its name?'' |
8655 | At last they said,''O our brother, and what is its name?'' |
8655 | At the door he found his steward and said to him,''What is the matter?'' |
8655 | At the end of this time, the slave- girl came to him and said,"What hast thou done?" |
8655 | At this Bedreddin wondered and mourned for himself, till the Vizier said to him,"Of what art thou thinking?" |
8655 | At this I rejoiced greatly and said,"What favour wilt thou grant me?" |
8655 | At this her colour changed and she said,"Is all this on my account?" |
8655 | At this she gave a loud cry and said to me,''What makes thee weep? |
8655 | At this sight, my eyes ran over with tears; but the Afrit unbound her and veiling her, said to her,"O wanton, is not this thy lover?" |
8655 | At this the Khalif laughed, and Jaafer knew him and said,''Surely thou art our lord the Khalif?'' |
8655 | At this the King marvelled greatly and shook with delight and said,"O physician, will thy head indeed speak to me, after it is cut off?" |
8655 | At this the King wondered and turning to me, said,"Is this true that she says of thee?" |
8655 | At this the first lady was secretly jealous and said to me,''Is not this girl more charming than I?'' |
8655 | Aversion and distance eternal and rigour and disdain; How can youthful lover these hardships all sustain? |
8655 | Belike something ails thy right hand?" |
8655 | Belike, thou grudgest at thy pay?'' |
8655 | Bravo for him who says,''And he repeated the following verses: Shall I from Cairo wend and leave the sweets of its delight? |
8655 | But love of thee has got hold upon my heart; so wilt thou accept of my daughter to thine handmaid and be her husband? |
8655 | But my brother was silent and heard him repeat, in a loud voice,"Who is there?" |
8655 | But she looked at him and said,''O my lord, art thou going away without bidding me adieu? |
8655 | But she replied,''Didst thou show me any mercy or spare my beloved?'' |
8655 | But she signed to me with her eyebrows, as who should say,"What hurt have I done thee? |
8655 | But she wept, and he said to her,"Why dost thou weep?" |
8655 | But the two men said to the prefect,"Wilt thou listen to a robber, who beggars the folk and has the scars of beating on his back?" |
8655 | But they refused and dragged him before the prefect, who said to him,"Whence hadst thou these stuffs and money?" |
8655 | But we stopped him and the host seized him and adjured him, saying,"What is the reason of thy coming in and going out again at once?" |
8655 | But what is thy history and how comest thou in this vessel?'' |
8655 | But what is to be done with him?" |
8655 | But where can I be? |
8655 | But, O my sister, shall I tell thee what I have seen this day?" |
8655 | Can it be lawful, O my wish, that thou another bless With thine embraces, whilst I die, in spite of Love''s decree? |
8655 | Can this sick man be he?'' |
8655 | Canst thou tell me the points of excellence in beauty?" |
8655 | Could ye find none to whom to marry me but the mistress of an Afrit and the beloved of a buffalo? |
8655 | Did I not adjure thee just now, and thou refusedst, saying,"I have not done such a thing these thirteen years"?'' |
8655 | Did I not deliver thee from the abysses of the sea and bring thee to land and release thee from the vase?'' |
8655 | Did I not say to thee,"Spare me, so God may spare thee; and do not kill me, lest God kill thee?" |
8655 | Did we not swear that neither of us should molest the other?" |
8655 | Didst thou not see the singers and tire- women laughing at him and how thy people displayed thee before me?" |
8655 | Didst thou steal this purse?'' |
8655 | Does she not drug him every night in the cup of drink she gives him before he sleeps, in which she puts henbane? |
8655 | Dost thou not know the saying: Love without money Is not worth a penny?'' |
8655 | Dost thou not see that for pleasure four several things combine, Instruments four, harp, hautboy and gittern and psaltery? |
8655 | Dost thou not see that the huckster''s son knows his own father? |
8655 | Dost thou think I mean to leave this gown on my body?'' |
8655 | Dost thou wish to be polled or let blood? |
8655 | Douban wondered greatly at these words and said,"O King, wherefore wilt thou kill me and what offence have I committed?" |
8655 | For whom indeed is life serene, for whom is Fortune fast?" |
8655 | From whom then dost thou veil thy face?" |
8655 | Ghanim also sat up beside her and she said to him,''What dost thou want?'' |
8655 | Has this gallows- bird aught left to buy girls withal?'' |
8655 | Hast thou a pair of scales wherein I may weigh nine hundred dinars? |
8655 | Hast thou aught left to sell?'' |
8655 | Hast thou lost thy wits?" |
8655 | Hast thou not heard the saying of the poet? |
8655 | Have ruth on me, for thy disdain is heavy on my heart; Is it not time that thou relent at last, my king, to me? |
8655 | Have ye any victual?'' |
8655 | Have you not read what is written on the door? |
8655 | He did so, and it was asked him,"What is his fault?" |
8655 | He kissed them and laying them on his head, said to the Vizier,"Who is it hath offended against thee?" |
8655 | He laughed and said to her,"How long have I been absent from thee?" |
8655 | He went up to the first door and knocked, whereupon a maid came out and said,''Who art thou?'' |
8655 | How comes it the chase doth the hunter enchain? |
8655 | How comes it then that mire and coal at once in thee are found? |
8655 | How couldst thou be in Bassora yesterday and in Cairo last night and yet awake in Damascus this morning?" |
8655 | How didst thou find the bath?'' |
8655 | How if he had told a whole one? |
8655 | How is''t I have no pitying friend to help me in my need? |
8655 | How long dost thou expect I shall live to save thee? |
8655 | How long must I endure estrangement and despite? |
8655 | How shall I escape from these blacks?'' |
8655 | How shall I get the body out of my house?'' |
8655 | How shall I leave its fertile plains, whose earth unto the scent Is very perfume, for the land contains no thing that''s naught? |
8655 | How then should I omit to give your praise its full desert And celebrate with heart and voice your goodness ever new? |
8655 | I abode with him three days, at the end of which time he said to me,"Dost thou know any craft by which thou mayst earn thy living?" |
8655 | I am not vexed with thee: why shouldst thou be vexed with me? |
8655 | I ate and drank and laying down the purse, would have gone out; but she said to me,''Whither goest thou?'' |
8655 | I cry,"What''s knowledge, indeed, unattended by might?" |
8655 | I looked for the apples and finding but two of them, said to my wife,"Where is the third apple?" |
8655 | I rose and saluted him and said to him,"Wilt thou not eat somewhat with me?" |
8655 | I rose and saluted him and said,"Wilt thou not eat a morsel with me?" |
8655 | I saluted her and told her what had befallen me; and she said,"O my sister, who is safe from the vicissitudes of fortune? |
8655 | I saw no more of him for a month, at the end of which time he came to me and said,"Where is the money?" |
8655 | I was alarmed and trembled, not knowing what was the matter, and the girls said to her,''What ails thee, O sister?'' |
8655 | If I''m jealous for thee Of thyself how much more of myself? |
8655 | If thine own bosom can not thy secrets hold, Why expect more reserve from another wight? |
8655 | If thou deny this, where is he who first on earth held sway? |
8655 | If, to interpret for us, we trust to a messenger, How can a message rightly a lover''s plaint convey? |
8655 | Is all well with thee?" |
8655 | Is an anemone''s cup Perfect, except in its midst an eyelet of black it wear? |
8655 | Is it not enough for me to have killed a Muslim, without burdening my conscience with the death of a Christian also? |
8655 | Is it not enough that thou hast brought him to beggary, thou and thy comrades? |
8655 | Is it not enough that thou hast laid my shop in ruins and smashed my gear and imprisoned me and fed me but once a day?" |
8655 | Is it not more marvellous than that of the hunchback?'' |
8655 | Is it not more wonderful than that of the hunchback?'' |
8655 | Is it not yet enough of the tears that I have spent?'' |
8655 | Is it thus thou requitest me?" |
8655 | Is there never a merciful friend will help me of all mankind? |
8655 | Is this a time for sport and diversion? |
8655 | Is thy hand thus by the creation of God or has it been mutilated by accident?" |
8655 | It was asked me,"What is the taste of love?" |
8655 | Jaafer, concluding that it was Kerim the fisherman, was alarmed for him and said,''O Kerim, what brings thee hither? |
8655 | Knowest thou not that we are brothers and both by God''s grace Viziers and equal in rank? |
8655 | May God curse him who married me to her and him who was the cause of it?" |
8655 | May I not light one of these lamps?'' |
8655 | May he come in, O lady fair, to gaze upon thy charms? |
8655 | Must I then die of thirst, what while thy lips with nectar flow? |
8655 | My every wish with him I loved is fled away: What can I do or say? |
8655 | My time of life is past away and death draws nigh to me: Will no one earn the grace of God by standing me in stead? |
8655 | Nor again, As long as life lasteth in me, will I say,"O marvel of beauty, how long this disdain?"'' |
8655 | Now the man had said to his wile,"How shall we do to turn him away from thee?" |
8655 | O Muslims, O soldiers all, did you ever in your lives see a man die and come to life again? |
8655 | O accursed one, wilt thou play fast and loose with us at thy pleasure, O stinkard, O bitch, O vilest of whites?" |
8655 | O my daughter, dost thou know who took thy maidenhead?" |
8655 | O thou who art as a chestnut, black without, but with a white heart,[FN#68] thou of whom the poet says..........."The eunuch laughed and said,"What? |
8655 | O tomb, O tomb, thou art neither earth nor heaven unto me: How comes it then that sun and moon at once in thee are found? |
8655 | O ye, one thought of whom clings round me like a cloak, Whose love it as a shirt about my body dight, O my beloved ones, how long will ye delay? |
8655 | Or hast thou e''en forgotten her who for love of thee, In tears and sickness and passion, hath wasted many a day? |
8655 | Or if longing assail us, where shall we take our way? |
8655 | Presently I heard the Khalif say to my mistress,''Harkye, what is in those chests of thine?'' |
8655 | Presently Noureddin said,''O Gaffer Ibrahim, how stands my favour with thee? |
8655 | Presently he came upon a damsel, weeping, and said to her,''Who art thou?'' |
8655 | Presently, she said to me,''Hast thou a wife?'' |
8655 | Presently, the Vizier came to the prison, attended by ten armed slaves, and the gaoler said to him,''What seekest thou, O our lord the Vizier?'' |
8655 | Presently, the watchman came up and finding a Christian kneeling on a Muslim and beating him, said to the former,''What is the matter?'' |
8655 | Quoth Bedreddin,"Is there time for me to go in and take somewhat to stand me in stead in my strangerhood?" |
8655 | Quoth Bedreddin,"What wilt thou do with it?" |
8655 | Quoth I,"O my lord, what is it?" |
8655 | Quoth Jaafer( and indeed he trembled in every limb),''Who told thee that the pavilion was illuminated and the windows open?'' |
8655 | Quoth Kheizuran,''And is not the lady Cout el Culoub dead?'' |
8655 | Quoth King Younan( and indeed he was troubled and his colour changed),"Of whom dost thou speak?" |
8655 | Quoth Noureddin,''O fisherman, doth this damsel please thee?'' |
8655 | Quoth Noureddin,''Whither bound, O captain?'' |
8655 | Quoth he,"And how was that?" |
8655 | Quoth he,"What is it?" |
8655 | Quoth he,"Wilt thou not confess after all this torture?" |
8655 | Quoth he,''And what has your master done to me that I should kill him? |
8655 | Quoth he,''Are you not then of the household?'' |
8655 | Quoth her father,"Must it be so?" |
8655 | Quoth my brother,"What wilt thou with me now?" |
8655 | Quoth she"Who is my husband, thou or he?" |
8655 | Quoth she( and indeed her heart was moved to pity),"And who is this youth of whom thou speakest?" |
8655 | Quoth she,"Did I not bid thee be sparing of speech? |
8655 | Quoth she,"Wilt thou come with me and look on the beauty of a youth who sleeps in the burial- ground yonder?" |
8655 | Quoth she,''Thou hast lost thy hand for love of me, and how can I requite thee? |
8655 | Quoth she,''Why dost thou sit still? |
8655 | Quoth she,''Why dost thou weep?'' |
8655 | Quoth the Afrit,"Is the world so small that thou canst find none to marry but my mistress?'''' |
8655 | Quoth the Barmecide,"Didst thou ever taste aught more delicious than the seasoning of these dishes?" |
8655 | Quoth the Khalif,''Who art thou?'' |
8655 | Quoth the King( and indeed the Vizier''s words troubled him),"What is thy warning?" |
8655 | Quoth the King,"What is the story of the crocodile?" |
8655 | Quoth the Sultan,''Wilt thou abide in this thy city or come with me to mine?'' |
8655 | Quoth the Vizier to him,''Art thou content to sell this damsel to the Sultan for ten thousand dinars?'' |
8655 | Quoth the dog,''What, then, should our master do?'' |
8655 | Quoth the fisherman,''This vessel would not suffice for thy hand or thy foot: so how could it hold the whole of thee?'' |
8655 | Quoth the hunchback,"What ails thee?" |
8655 | Quoth the master of the house,"Who is at the door?" |
8655 | Quoth the old man,''O my son, whence art thou?'' |
8655 | Quoth the old woman,"What will a kiss profit thee?" |
8655 | Quoth the other,"Is our lord then a fool, that, when he wakes in the night and finds her not by his side, he makes no enquiry after her?" |
8655 | Quoth the prefect,''What made thee kill him?'' |
8655 | Said I to the girl,"Is it true what I hear about this calf?" |
8655 | Said the Afrit,''Dost thou doubt that I was in it?'' |
8655 | Said the Khalif,''Wilt thou not tell us thy story and acquaint us with thy case? |
8655 | Said the King,''Why dost thou ask?'' |
8655 | Say not to me, beloved one,"Thou''lt grow consoled for me;"When such affliction holds the heart, what is there can console? |
8655 | Say unto him that taunteth us with fortune''s perfidy,''At whom but those whose heads are high doth Fate its arrows fling?'' |
8655 | Shall all that are thirsty drink of thy water- tanks And shall I thirst in thy courts, whilst thou art a rain- fraught cloud? |
8655 | Shall the like of thee come to bed to the like of me, with unwashed hands?'' |
8655 | Shall wolves devour me, whilst thou art a lion proud? |
8655 | She came up to the brazier and thrust the rod into the frying- pan saying''O fish, are you constant to your covenant?'' |
8655 | She pleased him and he said,''O Hassan, what is bidden for this damsel?'' |
8655 | She said to her father,"How comes it that I see thee troubled and oppressed with care and anxiety? |
8655 | She saw that my colour was changed and said to me,''What ails thee and why do I see thee thus changed?'' |
8655 | She touched the wine- cup with her lips, and laughing roguishly,"How canst thou proffer me to drink of my own cheeks?" |
8655 | So I sat down, and she said,''Has thy love for me brought thee to such a pass, that thou hast wasted thy substance and lost thy hand on my account? |
8655 | So I went to the closet and bringing a fine melon I found there on a platter, said to him,"O my lord, hast thou no knife?" |
8655 | So has the sun risen or no? |
8655 | So he called Jaafer the Barmecide and said to him,''O dog of a Vizier, has the city of Baghdad been taken from me and thou hast not told me?'' |
8655 | So he rose and girt his middle and said,''What would you have me do?'' |
8655 | So he sold all that was in the house, till there was nothing left, when he turned to her and said,''What is to be done now?'' |
8655 | So he spared her and said to her,"How camest thou to consort with this black?" |
8655 | So he told her what the children and the monitor had said and said to her,"Who is my father, O my mother?" |
8655 | So he told him the whole story from beginning to end, and the Khalif said to him,''Whither dost thou now intend?'' |
8655 | So is it not enough for me to have killed one Muslim unwittingly, without burdening myself with the death of another wittingly?'' |
8655 | So she looked at him earnestly and knew him and said to him,''Surely thou art Ghanim ben Eyoub?'' |
8655 | So she resumed and opened the gate to them, and they said,''Have we thy leave to enter?'' |
8655 | So the eldest lady said to him,''What ails thee that thou dost not go away? |
8655 | So they both flew down to the tomb and she showed him Bedreddin, saying,"Sawest thou ever the like of this young man?" |
8655 | So we said to him,"God on thee, what has become of thy thumb? |
8655 | So when afflictions press upon the noble mind, Where shall a man from Fate and Destiny take flight? |
8655 | So when they brought me bound before him, he commanded my head to be smitten off; and I said,"For what crime wilt thou put me to death?" |
8655 | Still he made no answer and presently heard the master come to the door and open it and say,"What dost thou want?" |
8655 | The Khalif granted her prayer, and she said,''O Commander of the Faithful, if I bring him to thee, wilt thou bestow me on him?'' |
8655 | The Khalif looked at me and said to the headsman,''What ails thee thou thou struck off but nine heads?'' |
8655 | The Khalif looked at them and said,''Which of you killed the damsel?'' |
8655 | The Khalif marvelled at her story and said to the portress,''And thou, how camest thou by the weals on thy body?'' |
8655 | The Khalif turned to them and said,''How so?'' |
8655 | The King marvelled and said to him,''What makes thee weep, O youth?'' |
8655 | The King replied in a weak voice,''What hast thou done? |
8655 | The King saw his attendants nodding and winking to one another about him and said to his Vizier,''O Vizier, what say my men?'' |
8655 | The King stood and wondered and said to his attendants,''Has any one of you ever seen this lake before?'' |
8655 | The Sultan rejoiced in his converse and said to him"What is the meaning of the popular saying,''Shureih is more cunning than the fox''?" |
8655 | The ass shook his head and said,''Beware of doing that I''''Why?'' |
8655 | The cock began to crow and clap its wings and signed to us with his beak, as who should say,"Are there any grains left?" |
8655 | The cook looked at Bedreddin and noting his beauty and grace, fell in love with him and said to him,"Whence comest thou, O youth? |
8655 | The envied man bade him welcome and drawing near to him, said,''Shall I tell thee the object of thy visit?'' |
8655 | The eunuch turned and said to him,"What dost thou want?" |
8655 | The noise drew the notice of the lady of the house, who said to them,''O guests, what is the matter and what are you talking about?'' |
8655 | The ogress came out after him and finding him terrified and trembling, said to him,''Why dost thou fear?'' |
8655 | The prefect said to him,"O villain, what made thee enter their house with murderous intent?" |
8655 | The slaves did as she bade, and said,''O noble lady, is it thy will that we strike off their heads?'' |
8655 | Then Bedreddin turned to the eunuch and said,"O noble sir, why wilt thou not gladden my soul by entering my shop? |
8655 | Then Cuteyt went into the prison, where he found Noureddin repeating the following verses: Who shall avail me against the woes that my life enwind? |
8655 | Then I said to Bedreddin,''What is the price set upon this piece?'' |
8655 | Then Muin looked at the broker and said to him,''What ails thee to stand still? |
8655 | Then came up one of the merchants and said to the broker,"How much have they bidden for this slave, with his fault?" |
8655 | Then he called for a chess- board and said to me,"Wilt thou play with me?" |
8655 | Then he called his slave- girl and said to her,''O Enis el Jelis, hast thou seen what has befallen me?'' |
8655 | Then he called out,"Where is the cellaress?" |
8655 | Then he gave him a dress of honour and made much of him, saying,"Wilt thou indeed cure me without drugs or ointment?" |
8655 | Then he gave him a second cuff and the host exclaimed,"What is this, O vile fellow?" |
8655 | Then he lighted a candle and drew near and looked at me and said,"What is that wound on thy cheek, in the soft part?" |
8655 | Then he pulled out a handkerchief, containing a sample of sesame, and said to me,"What is the worth of an ardebb[FN#74] of this?" |
8655 | Then he said to the Afrit,''Is there no help for it, but thou must kill me?'' |
8655 | Then he said to the Jew,''Is not this the truth?'' |
8655 | Then he said to the eldest lady,''Knowst thou where to find the Afriteh who enchanted thy sisters?'' |
8655 | Then he said to the mule,''Is it true?'' |
8655 | Then he sent for the fisherman and said to him,''Hark ye, sirrah, whence hadst thou those fish?'' |
8655 | Then he sent for the slave and said to him,''Harkye Rihan, whence hadst thou this apple?'' |
8655 | Then he turned to his officers and said,''How say you? |
8655 | Then he turned to me and said,"O mortal, dost thou not know this woman?" |
8655 | Then he turned to the gardener and said to him,''O Gaffer Ibrahim, hast thou no drink here, for folk use to drink after eating?'' |
8655 | Then he went up to him and said,''O old man, what is thy trade?'' |
8655 | Then said Cout el Culoub,''Where is the sick man who is with thee?'' |
8655 | Then said Ibrahim to himself,''What ails me to sit apart? |
8655 | Then said he to his daughter,"Whence knewest thou that he was enchanted?" |
8655 | Then said he to me,"What ails thee, O Kafour? |
8655 | Then said he to me,''O silent man, are thy six brothers like thee distinguished for wisdom and knowledge and spareness of speech?'' |
8655 | Then said he to my brother,"What dost thou want, O blind man?" |
8655 | Then said he to the Khalif,''O fisherman, why didst thou not bring us the fish ready fried? |
8655 | Then said he,"Wilt thou journey with me to my native country, whither I am about to return with a lading of Cairo and Alexandria stuffs?" |
8655 | Then said my brother,"Is there aught of his in the house?" |
8655 | Then said one of the Jinn to the others,''Know ye who this is?'' |
8655 | Then said she,''O my lord, shall I come to thee or wilt thou come to me?'' |
8655 | Then said the Khalif to me,''What made thee keep silence at such a time and how camest thou in company with these men of blood? |
8655 | Then said the Lady of Beauty to him,"What ails thee to stand agape and seem perplexed? |
8655 | Then said the husband"What is thy hire for this?" |
8655 | Then said the monitor to him,"O Agib, knowst thou not that the Vizier is thy mother''s father, thy grandfather and not thy father? |
8655 | Then said the portress to the cateress,''O my Sister, why tarriest thou? |
8655 | Then said they to the old man,"O elder, wilt thou not bring us our ordinary? |
8655 | Then she called an old woman, who was with her, and discovered her secret to her, saying,''What shall I do, seeing that Cout el Culoub is no more?'' |
8655 | Then she laughed and said to me,''O my father, am I become of so little account in thine eyes that thou bringest in to me strange men?'' |
8655 | Then she rose and coming with a stately gait to meet her sisters in the middle of the saloon, said to them,''Why stand ye still? |
8655 | Then she rose into the air to fly about, as was her wo nt, and met an Afrit flying, who saluted her, and she said to him,"Whence comest thou?" |
8655 | Then she said to Bedreddin,''Hast thou any stuffs of figured cloth of gold?'' |
8655 | Then she said to me,''O youth, hast thou any handsome stuffs?'' |
8655 | Then she said,"O youth, art thou for wine?" |
8655 | Then she said,''Can it be true that thou art indeed come to me?'' |
8655 | Then she threw down the sword and said,"How shall I strike off the head of one whom I know not and who has done me no hurt? |
8655 | Then she was glad and rose and putting off her clothes, said to the slave,"O my lord, hast thou aught here for thy handmaid to eat?" |
8655 | Then the Afrit made his voice small and humbled himself and said,''What wilt thou do with me, O fisherman?'' |
8655 | Then the lady said to the Calenders,''Are ye brothers?'' |
8655 | Then the pestilent black concluded that he was dead, and my brother heard him say,"Where is the salt- wench?" |
8655 | Then the salt- girl went away and the black cried out,"Where is the cellaress?" |
8655 | Then the swordbearer came forward and bandaged his eyes and baring his sword, said to the King,"Have I thy leave to strike?" |
8655 | Thinkest thou I covet thy money?'' |
8655 | Thinkst thou that what is past can recur or the dead come back to life? |
8655 | Thou returnest evil for good?" |
8655 | Thy face is Paradise to me; must I in hell- fire groan? |
8655 | Till fortune aimed at us the shafts of severance And parted us; for who her arrows can defy? |
8655 | To every gathering of friends there comes a parting day: And few indeed on earth are those that are from parting free? |
8655 | To whom but thee that slayest me should I reveal my pain? |
8655 | To whom did there ever happen the like of what hath befallen me?" |
8655 | Was she saved?" |
8655 | What are the bounties of the Nile to thy munificence, Whose fingers five extend to shower thy benefits on all? |
8655 | What boots the archer''s skill, if, when the foe draws near, His bow- string snap and leave him helpless in the fight? |
8655 | What charm can bring me peace, what drink forgetfulness, Whilst in my heart the fire of love burns fierce and high? |
8655 | What harm will it do thee, if he take from thee a kiss and thou get the stuffs for nothing?" |
8655 | What is a man''s resource and what shall he do? |
8655 | What is the matter?" |
8655 | What is to be done?'' |
8655 | What misfortune has befallen thee?" |
8655 | What price shall I set on her?'' |
8655 | What reward doth he deserve who cured my daughter?'' |
8655 | What says the poet? |
8655 | What sayst thou?'' |
8655 | What shall thought- taking profit a helpless, powerless slave? |
8655 | What sojourn after it indeed were worth a longing thought? |
8655 | What were your glory to slay us within your courts? |
8655 | What wilt thou have me do?" |
8655 | When Bedreddin heard this, he trembled and said,"What is the matter?" |
8655 | When I saw him, I rose and saluted him and kissed his hand, saying,"O my lord, wilt thou not take thy money?" |
8655 | When I saw this, the fumes of the wine left my head and I said to the lady,"What is the matter?" |
8655 | When Noureddin heard this, he looked at the broker and said to him,''What is to be done?'' |
8655 | When Noureddin heard this, he said,"What dowry is this thou wouldst impose on my son? |
8655 | When Noureddin returned, they read trouble in his face; so one of them rose and said to him,''O my lord, maybe thou wilt give me leave to retire?'' |
8655 | When he had finished, the King said to him,"Dost thou know why I have sent for thee?" |
8655 | When he saw his uncle, he wept sore and said,"O my lord, what is my offence against thee?" |
8655 | When he saw me, he looked at me out of the corner of his eye and said to those present,''Why did ye cut off his hand? |
8655 | When he saw me, he rejoiced and said,"O my brother, where didst thou pass the night? |
8655 | When he saw this, he was confounded and advanced one foot and drew the other back, saying,"Am I asleep or awake?" |
8655 | When her father heard this, the light in his eyes became darkness, and he cried out at her, saying,"O wanton, what is this thou sayest? |
8655 | When it was night, my husband came in to me and said,"O my lady, what has befallen thee in this excursion?" |
8655 | When shall I find myself in company with the like of these two, who are like two moons?'' |
8655 | When she heard his sobs and saw his tears, her heart was on fire for him and she said to him,"O my son, why dost thou weep? |
8655 | When she heard this, she turned to the others and said to them''Is this true that he says of you?'' |
8655 | When the King heard this, he wondered and said to him,"How wilt thou do this? |
8655 | When the Vizier saw her she pleased him exceedingly, so he turned to the broker and said to him,''What is the price of this damsel?'' |
8655 | When the Vizier saw her thus, he said to her,"O accursed woman, dost thou rejoice in this groom?" |
8655 | When the chief of the police saw this, he said to him,"What is this, O accursed one?" |
8655 | When the people of the house saw him, they said to him,"What dost thou here?" |
8655 | Where are now the old Chosroes, tyrants of a bygone day? |
8655 | Where are they? |
8655 | Where are thy senses?" |
8655 | Where didst thou lie last night?" |
8655 | Where has this smallpox attacked thee and in what part dost thou feel pain?'' |
8655 | Where is Zehr el Bustan?'' |
8655 | Where then is that for which good grace and generous mercy call? |
8655 | Where wilt thou go now? |
8655 | Whereat the King marvelled exceedingly and said,"O physician, when wilt thou do as thou hast said? |
8655 | Whereto he answer made"What wonder though the scavenger have turned a fire- man[FN#97] now?" |
8655 | Whereupon he wept and sobbed and repeated the following verses: Shall fortune oppress me, and that in thy day, O King? |
8655 | Whereupon the Vizier''s eyes filled with tears and he replied,''O my son, is the loss of my goods and my life of so little account in thine eyes?'' |
8655 | Whilst he was debating with himself, the Lady of Beauty lifted the curtain of the alcove and said to him,"O my lord, wilt thou not come in? |
8655 | Who but a fool would sit upon an unquenched fire? |
8655 | Who has been with thee?" |
8655 | Who is left to take pity on me, now that my mistress is dead? |
8655 | Who is this that hath guarded my honour and whose honour I have violated, and who hath protected my harem, whilst I have enslaved his?'' |
8655 | Who then is my father? |
8655 | Who would dare to do this except the Khalifate were taken from me?'' |
8655 | Why dost thou not answer me, O my lord?" |
8655 | Why dost thou not give me to drink, O my brother? |
8655 | Why is the softness not transferred from this to that, ah why? |
8655 | Why should I not sit with them? |
8655 | Why wilt thou kill me and what calls for my death? |
8655 | Will no one answer my complaint or heed the tears I shed? |
8655 | Will none take pity on my state and succour my despair With but a cup of water cold, to ease my torments dread? |
8655 | Wilt thou cut off my hand, because I ate of a ragout and did not wash?'' |
8655 | Wilt thou not now rise and depart?" |
8655 | Wilt thou not rise, O my son, and pass into the garden and take thy pleasure therein and gladden thy heart?'' |
8655 | Wilt thou therefore spend five days with me and depart the day before his coming?" |
8655 | Wouldst thou debauch my wife?" |
8655 | Yet in thy presence, by my side, what peace should I enjoy, Since he I love doth ever strive to heap despite on me? |
8655 | [ FN#110] Is not this Enis el Jelis, whom thy father bought of me for ten thousand dinars?'' |
8655 | [ FN#56] Moles? |
8655 | art thou not ashamed?'' |
8655 | asked the Khalif;''and how can it be more marvellous than this story?'' |
8655 | do I need thy price, that I should sell thee? |
8655 | exclaimed the Sultan( and indeed he was angry);''what made thee do that?'' |
8655 | how came I to kill this man? |
8655 | how much more of this mourning?" |
8655 | is there no shame in thee?'' |
8655 | rejoined they,''how could they get in here?'' |
8655 | repeated the Cadi;''and what brings him into my house?'' |
8655 | said Jaafer''Why so?'' |
8655 | said he;''and whither shall I go, seeing that my substance and fortune are in this house?'' |
8655 | shall this rigour last and this inhumanity? |
8655 | shall we say? |
8655 | should I recur; Shall I come back to a body whence the life and blood are flown? |
8655 | sitting over against the door, and said,''How did this devil find me out?'' |
8655 | till at last he said,''O my sisters, what is its name?'' |
8655 | to be troubled in his mind about this barber?" |
8655 | what help, what hope have I? |
8655 | what is the matter?'' |
8655 | what is this nasty mess?" |
8655 | what words are these thou givest me?'' |
8655 | what words are these? |
8655 | who brought thee hither and what dost thou want?" |
8655 | why hast thou tarried till now? |
5245 | And how cometh it,asked I,"that the Commander of the Faithful trusteth her to go out?" |
5245 | And thou,asked she,"hast thou never been in love?" |
5245 | And what is his story? |
5245 | And what is the cause of this? |
5245 | And what is the story of King Bihkerd? |
5245 | And what is the story of the merchant and his son? |
5245 | And what is the[ cause of] discord, O my mother? |
5245 | And what is thy want? |
5245 | And what,asked El Abbas,"hath Akil done with King Zuheir?" |
5245 | And where is King El Aziz? |
5245 | And who is he, the Devil? |
5245 | And why wilt thou not acquaint me with thy case? |
5245 | As thou wilt,answered she;"but what thinkest thou to do?" |
5245 | Canst thou[ bring me to] lay hold of them? |
5245 | Dost thou remember what he said? |
5245 | Forget him,quoth my censurers,"forget him; what is he?" |
5245 | Hast thou a house? |
5245 | Hath there been feud between us aforetime? |
5245 | How call''st thou this thy dress? |
5245 | How so? |
5245 | How so? |
5245 | How so? |
5245 | How so? |
5245 | How was that? |
5245 | How, then, shall we do with him? |
5245 | I do not want this,answered she, and he rejoined,"What then is it that is called wood, other than this?" |
5245 | Is he her father? |
5245 | Is it lawful,continued she,"in any one that he should slander me and say that I am humpbacked?" |
5245 | My name is Miskeh,replied she, and he said to another,"What is thy name?" |
5245 | No,answered I; and she said,"Art thou for breakfast?" |
5245 | O Saad,asked the king,"whence cometh this man?" |
5245 | O accursed one,''said the Khalif,is this a time for laughter? |
5245 | O elder,added she,"if Muslims and Jews and Nazarenes drink wine, who are we[ that we should abstain from it]?" |
5245 | O king,answered the young man,"how shall they testify of that which they saw not? |
5245 | O my lord,rejoined I,"what story is this that thou desirest of me and of what kind shall it be of the kinds?" |
5245 | O nurse,rejoined the princess,"who is this that presumeth upon me with this letter? |
5245 | O wicked viziers,answered he,"shall a man of understanding renounce hope in God the Most High? |
5245 | Quoth she,Why wilt thou forbid me to drink thereof in thy house?" |
5245 | Sayst thou this to me,asked she,"and thou captain of men?" |
5245 | Since when hath this befallen her? |
5245 | The wife rejoiced in her saying and said to her,And when shall this be?" |
5245 | Well? |
5245 | What is his story? |
5245 | What is it, O king? |
5245 | What is it? |
5245 | What is the cause of this? |
5245 | What is the story of the merchant,asked the king,"and how was his luck changed upon him by the sorriness of his fortune?" |
5245 | What is the taste of love? |
5245 | What is thine advertisement? |
5245 | What is to be done? |
5245 | What sawest thou in this youth[ to make thee trust in him]? 5245 What would the king with me?" |
5245 | Whence hast thou this servant? |
5245 | Where is the contract? |
5245 | Wherefore? |
5245 | Who is Commander of the Faithful? |
5245 | Who is thy father,asked the young merchant,"and what is his condition?" |
5245 | Who was Abou Sabir,asked the king,"and what is his story?" |
5245 | Whom meanest thou? |
5245 | Why so? |
5245 | Why, then, O my lord,asked the nurse,"didst thou conceal the secret of thy rank and lineage and passedst thyself off for a wayfarer? |
5245 | Yes, O Commander of the Faithful,answered she; and he said,"What prompted thee to this?" |
5245 | Yes,answered the draper, and the other said,"Knowest thou what is come of it?" |
5245 | [ FN#10] Then he accosted the young Damascene and saluting him, said to him,Why do I see my lord alone and forlorn? |
5245 | [ FN#186]''And where,''asked Er Reshed,''is this Tuhfeh, who hath not her like in the world?'' 5245 [ FN#86] Quoth the Khalif to those who were present with him,"Know ye what this woman meaneth by her saying?" |
5245 | [ FN#92] Then he turned to the woman and said to her,Is it not thus?" |
5245 | whatever may betideor"will I, nill I"? |
5245 | ''And how earnest thou hither?'' |
5245 | ''And what hast thou in mind of device?'' |
5245 | ''And what is the deposit?'' |
5245 | ''And whoso entereth the king''s house and playeth the traitor with him,''continued the king,''what behoveth unto him?'' |
5245 | ''Canst thou direct me where it is sold?'' |
5245 | ''Didst thou not hear the first of the speech?'' |
5245 | ''Hath a pearl then an outward and an inward?'' |
5245 | ''How much will that be?'' |
5245 | ''How so?'' |
5245 | ''How so?'' |
5245 | ''How then deemest thou we should do?'' |
5245 | ''Is that thy desire?'' |
5245 | ''Is there a way for me to see it?'' |
5245 | ''It is well,''answered the eunuch;''what is it?'' |
5245 | ''Nay,''answered I;''but tell me[ first], hath there befallen thee aught?'' |
5245 | ''O fool,''answered she,''how shall I let thee go thy way? |
5245 | ''O king,''answered he,''what matter is graver than that which I see?'' |
5245 | ''O king,''answered they,''what is this boy and what power hath he? |
5245 | ''O my lady,''answered the old woman,''sawst thou not the madman who came hither yesterday with the old woman? |
5245 | ''O my lord,''answered I,''my name is Sindbad the Sailor;''and he said,''And what countryman art thou?'' |
5245 | ''O my lord,''answered she,''what am I that thou shouldst kiss my hand? |
5245 | ''Out on thee, O dog of the Jinn,''replied she,''knowest thou not thy place?'' |
5245 | ''Then said he to his officers,''Who is in yonder prison?'' |
5245 | ''Was it not on such a day, by such a token, and thus and thus?'' |
5245 | ''What dost thou in this desolate place?'' |
5245 | ''What is it?'' |
5245 | ''What is that?'' |
5245 | ''What is that?'' |
5245 | ''What is that?'' |
5245 | ''What is their story?'' |
5245 | ''What proof hast thou of that?'' |
5245 | ''What seest thou?'' |
5245 | ''What was it?'' |
5245 | ''What was that?'' |
5245 | ''What was their case?'' |
5245 | ''What wouldst thou have?'' |
5245 | ''What[ meanest thou]?'' |
5245 | ''Who killeth the folk?'' |
5245 | ''Why didst thou not tell me?'' |
5245 | ''Yes,''answered he, and the other continued,''And wilt thou buy that which is with me?'' |
5245 | ''Yes,''answered he, and the prince said to him''What bringeth thee here?'' |
5245 | ''Yes,''answered he; and she arose and opening the door to the master of the house, said to him,''Where hast thou been? |
5245 | ''Yes,''answered she, and he said,''Leave frowardness,[FN#175] for to whom doth it happen to be in the house of Ishac the boon- companion? |
5245 | ''Yes,''answered she; and he continued,''Is he not a Jew and is not his ailment indigestion?'' |
5245 | ''[ FN#102] The Cadi will say,''What is the meaning of thy saying,"The two words are not alike"?'' |
5245 | ''[ FN#174]''What is the meaning of El Hemca?'' |
5245 | ''[ FN#200] Then said her father Es Shisban to her,''What is this laughing?'' |
5245 | ?" |
5245 | ?" |
5245 | ?" |
5245 | Abideth there husband for me, after the son of my uncle?'' |
5245 | After he left her, he found his camels, by her blessing, and when he returned, King Kisra asked him,''Hast thou found the camels?'' |
5245 | All charms, indeed, thou dost comprise; so who shall vie with thee And who shall blame me if for love of such a fair I''m sped? |
5245 | And Dukhan answered, saying,''And who abideth in the palace? |
5245 | And En Numan said,"What is thy religion?" |
5245 | And I said,''By Allah, O youth, whence cometh thou?'' |
5245 | And Zuheir said,"Whence comest thou and whither wilt thou?" |
5245 | And he answered,"How shall any missay of thy charms, and thou the sun of loveliness?" |
5245 | And he fell to shampooing his hands and feet, whilst the youth called down blessings on him and said,''O my lord, who art thou? |
5245 | And he said to her,''Art thou indeed Tuhfeh?'' |
5245 | And he said to her,''How shall we contrive in this affair?'' |
5245 | And he said,"Art thou in my presence and bespeakest me with the like of these words? |
5245 | And he said,"Didst thou not bid me bring thee wood?" |
5245 | And he said,"With whom?" |
5245 | And he said,''I know not if my father be dead, and he hath none other heir but myself; and how shall I win to him, seeing I have not a dirhem?'' |
5245 | And he said,''Is King Belehwan well?'' |
5245 | And he,''What offence can be greater than this? |
5245 | And how Of all things in the world should I forget the love of thee? |
5245 | And my friend said to me,''Behold, we are two, and what can they avail to do with us?'' |
5245 | And she answered him, saying,"O dotard, is thy wit like unto my wit? |
5245 | And she said,''Did I not tell thee that she resembleth me and I her, and there is nought to distinguish between us but our clothes? |
5245 | And the king said,''Why didst thou not take somewhat of that which thou sawest of jewels and the like? |
5245 | And the merchant said,''When didst thou give it me?'' |
5245 | And the slave- dealer said to him,"What is her name?" |
5245 | And the thief said,"Art thou the Sultan?" |
5245 | And they said,"Is she thy wife by contract[FN#118] or without contract?" |
5245 | And who can tell if ever house shall us together bring In union of life serene and undisturbed content? |
5245 | Art thou overcome with grief for[ the loss of] the treasure or[ for that which hath befallen] the eunuch?'' |
5245 | As for the man, he committed his affair to God the Most High, relying upon Him for deliverance, and said in himself,''What is this affair?'' |
5245 | As he was about to go away, the cook said to him,''O youth, doubtless thou art a stranger?'' |
5245 | At this, the king was troubled and said,''What is to do?'' |
5245 | Azadbekht knew not[ of their design] till the noise[ of the invasion] beset his capital city, when he said to his wife Behrjaur,"How shall we do?" |
5245 | But he said to her,''O woman, said I not to thee that he who doth evil shall suffer it? |
5245 | But the governor said in himself,''How shall I go to his father and say to him,"Thy son hath wasted thy money and wantoned it away"? |
5245 | But the man said to him,''How long shall I have patience?'' |
5245 | But was it thou who was singing but now?'' |
5245 | But, when she and my family knew me, they rejoiced and said to me,"What aileth thee?" |
5245 | By what wickedness cometh this child here?" |
5245 | Can any one part with his life? |
5245 | Canst thou carry her another letter, and with God the Most High be thy requital?" |
5245 | Canst thou not bring us together?'' |
5245 | Canst thou not hold thy peace till thou goest forth of the festival and this bride- feast[FN#222] be accomplished? |
5245 | Dost thou want aught?'' |
5245 | Doth any praise himself? |
5245 | Doth it not suffice thee that thou hast orphaned his children[FN#94] and slain his men? |
5245 | Doth it not suffice thee that thou hast quelled El Akil''s repute, but thou art minded to quell that of those who sojourn round about him? |
5245 | Fawn of the palace, knowst thou not that I, to look on thee, The world have traversed, far and wide, o''er many a hill and plain? |
5245 | For that I will never again foregather with any''?" |
5245 | Hadst thou wrought deliberately, the false had been made manifest to thee from the true; so where was thy judgment and thy sight?" |
5245 | Hast thou any want unto which thou availest not, so I may endeavour for thee therein and lavish my treasures in quest thereof?" |
5245 | Hast thou not seen this in a dream?'' |
5245 | Hast thou skill in the delivering of women?'' |
5245 | Hath there betided thee a pain from God the Most High or hath aught of vexation befallen thee? |
5245 | He in turn kissed her hand and called down blessings on her and said,''How deemest thou? |
5245 | He opened the door and entering, saw the youth lying on the bed, whereupon he turned to his wife and said to her,"What doth this youth here? |
5245 | His hospitality pleased the Khalif and the goodliness of his fashion, and he said to him,"O youth, who art thou? |
5245 | His neighbour the Jew met him and said to him,"How comes it that I see thee confounded?" |
5245 | How can it be lawful that this youth should live for a single hour?" |
5245 | How canst thou feel assured of safety, after that which thou hast done? |
5245 | How deemest thou of the affair?" |
5245 | How deemest thou, O King, of fetching El Abbas and drawing up the contract of marriage between Mariyeh and him?" |
5245 | How hast thou wasted all this wealth and now comest telling lies and saying,"The dog hath mounted on the shelf,"and talking nonsense?'' |
5245 | How long shall I anights distracted be for love Of thee? |
5245 | How long shall I delay this? |
5245 | How long shall I thus question my heart that''s drowned in woe? |
5245 | How long shall I, in weariness, for this estrangement pine, What while the spies of severance[FN#106] do watch me all the night? |
5245 | How long shall the folk upbraid me on thine account and blame me for delaying thy slaughter? |
5245 | How long th''assaults of grief and woes abide? |
5245 | How long will ye admonished be, without avail or heed? |
5245 | How long, O Fate, wilt thou oppress and baffle me? |
5245 | How many a body hath he slain, how many a bone laid bare? |
5245 | How shall I bring forth my wife?" |
5245 | How shall I go about in quest of a wight whom I know not and whom, if I saw him face to face, I should not know?'' |
5245 | How shall he stop all the holes and deliver himself from the vipers?'' |
5245 | How shall it be permitted that the daughter of the Cadi of the Muslims abide with a man of the dancers and vile of origin? |
5245 | How wilt thou make out that the right is on thy side?" |
5245 | However, the Khalif accosted him and said to him,"O my brother, did I not say to thee that I would return to thee?" |
5245 | I conjure thee, by Allah, say, was not Aboulhusn with me but now?" |
5245 | I looked at the place[ behind the door] and said,"What is yonder dark place that I see?" |
5245 | I marvelled at her words and said to her,"What wouldst thou have me do?" |
5245 | If thou wert denied this draught, with what wouldst thou buy it?" |
5245 | Indeed thou exceedest: knowest thou not that her sister Wekhimeh is doughtier than any of the Jinn? |
5245 | Indeed, I am bewildered, and how shall I do, and I alone, forlorn? |
5245 | Indeed, thou hast done me kindness, and what is the reason of this?" |
5245 | Is he not vile of origin, the son of thieves? |
5245 | Is it not enough that Aboulhusn is dead, but thou must kill my slave- girl also and bereave us of the two and style me little of wit?" |
5245 | Is it of the sons of Adam or of the Jinn?" |
5245 | Is not the treasure buried in yonder chamber?'' |
5245 | Is not this marvellous?'' |
5245 | Is she not such an one whose marriage contract we drew up in such a place?" |
5245 | Is there a man of you will come, that I may heal his paint With blows right profitful for him who''s sick for lust of fight? |
5245 | Is this of envy or no? |
5245 | Is[ not] this place pleasant, for all its loneliness and desolation?'' |
5245 | It may be here observed that the word keif( how?) |
5245 | Know ye not that the day belongeth to you and the night to us? |
5245 | Know ye not that whoso diggeth a pit for his brother shall fall into it? |
5245 | Knowest thou not that Imlac is of the chiefs of the Jinn? |
5245 | Knowest thou not that he is of the lieutenants of Kundeh ben[ Hisham of the Benou] Sheiban, a man renowned for prowess? |
5245 | Learn to know thyself: hast thou no regard for thy life?'' |
5245 | Moreover, he gave him the ornaments of his sword; and Jerir went forth to the[ other] poets, who said to him,"What is behind thee? |
5245 | Next morning, up came the Cadi, with his face like the ox- eye,[FN#104] and said,"In the name of God, where is my debtor and where is my money?" |
5245 | Now Er Reshid was leaning back; but, when he heard this, he sat up and said to her,"By my life,[ is this thou sayest] true?" |
5245 | Now each of them had it in mind to cheat his fellow; so El Merouzi said to Er Razi,''Wilt thou sell me that?'' |
5245 | Now he was ware of the king''s love for women; so he said to his wife,''What is this that I see with thee?'' |
5245 | O blamer of me for the love of him who denieth his grace, Which be the delightsome of things, but those which the people deny? |
5245 | O thou my inclining to love him that blamest, Shall lovers be blamed for the errors of Fate? |
5245 | On the fourth day, Er Razi said to him,''Know, O my brother, that I purpose to do somewhat''''What is it?'' |
5245 | One day my master said to me,''Knowest thou not some art or handicraft?'' |
5245 | Presently, he met a friend of his, to whom he discovered his case, and the other said to him,''Art thou not ashamed to talk thus? |
5245 | Presently, there met him a man, a treasure- seeker, and said to him,''Whither goest thou, O youth?'' |
5245 | Presently, up came El Merouzi, for the division of the money, and hearing the crying[ of the mourners], said,''What is to do?" |
5245 | Presently, up came the overseer of the[ Sultan''s] kitchen and said,''What is this man?'' |
5245 | Quoth Aboulhusn,"By the protection of God, am I in truth Commander of the Faithful and dost thou not lie? |
5245 | Quoth Bihkerd,''Who shot that arrow?'' |
5245 | Quoth El Aziz,"And knowest thou who she is?" |
5245 | Quoth El Melik ez Zahir,''What was that?'' |
5245 | Quoth En Numan,"What prompted thee to keep faith, the case being as thou sayest?" |
5245 | Quoth Firouz''s wife,"Who is at the door?" |
5245 | Quoth I to her,"O my lady, who art thou?" |
5245 | Quoth I,"How so?" |
5245 | Quoth I,"Thinkest thou to delude me?" |
5245 | Quoth I,"What have I to do with the daughter of the Cadi Amin el Hukm?" |
5245 | Quoth I,"Where is her abode?" |
5245 | Quoth I,''I have been on a journey;''and she said,''Why didst thou wink at the Turcoman?'' |
5245 | Quoth I,''We are the first of the folk; but where are their voices? |
5245 | Quoth I,''What[ manner of men] are ye and what country is this?'' |
5245 | Quoth Iblis,''And what befitteth it to do?'' |
5245 | Quoth Kisra,''And what is thine occasion unto this?'' |
5245 | Quoth Omar,"And who praised him?" |
5245 | Quoth Omar,"What have I to do with the poets?" |
5245 | Quoth Omar,"Who is at the door?" |
5245 | Quoth Wekhimeh to her,''Who is like unto thee, O Anca? |
5245 | Quoth he,"Are ye not ashamed? |
5245 | Quoth he,"Knowest thou why this befell thee and thou wast defeated?" |
5245 | Quoth he,"O my lady, what is this love?" |
5245 | Quoth he,"Saidst thou not to me,''I would fain drink''?" |
5245 | Quoth he,"Thou knowest the stranger youth, who gave us the rubies?" |
5245 | Quoth he,"What deemest thou of cozenage?" |
5245 | Quoth he,"What is to be done with her?" |
5245 | Quoth he,"Where is this thing found and of whom shall I get it for thee?" |
5245 | Quoth he,"Who gave the king news of me?" |
5245 | Quoth he,''And what is your warning?'' |
5245 | Quoth he,''Knowest thou how to shoot with a bow and arrows?'' |
5245 | Quoth he,''To- day?'' |
5245 | Quoth he,''What aileth thee?'' |
5245 | Quoth he,''Whence hadst thou these?'' |
5245 | Quoth he,''Ye tell a marvellous story; but what hath[ Fate] done with your father?'' |
5245 | Quoth his friend to him,"Why do I see thee troubled?" |
5245 | Quoth one of the merchants,"I,"and the dealer said to her,"O Sitt el Milah, shall I sell thee to this merchant?" |
5245 | Quoth she to him,''Hast thou a wish?'' |
5245 | Quoth she,"And what shall letters profit thee, seeing she answereth on this wise?" |
5245 | Quoth she,"By Allah, it was ye set me on against him, and what shall I do[ now]?" |
5245 | Quoth she,"Is it fair of any one to missay of my charms?" |
5245 | Quoth she,"So deem I. Hath not our Lord promised us wine in Paradise?" |
5245 | Quoth she,"What is that?" |
5245 | Quoth she,"Whence gottest thou them?" |
5245 | Quoth she,''And what wilt thou have of me?'' |
5245 | Quoth she,''Is there none with thee?'' |
5245 | Quoth she,''Thou sayst truly; but how shall we do with him?'' |
5245 | Quoth she,''What is it?'' |
5245 | Quoth she,''What offence have I committed?'' |
5245 | Quoth she,''What sayest thou?'' |
5245 | Quoth she,''What wilt thou do with me, O king, and I a woman abandoned in the desert?'' |
5245 | Quoth she,''Why didst thou that?'' |
5245 | Quoth she,''Why dost thou thus?'' |
5245 | Quoth she,[FN#193]''What aileth thee to stand there? |
5245 | Quoth the Khalif,"And what is the cause?" |
5245 | Quoth the boys,''What is it ye would have us do?'' |
5245 | Quoth the cadi,"What sayst thou, O youth?" |
5245 | Quoth the cook,''We have experienced the old man''s just judgment; what deemeth the king of fetching him?'' |
5245 | Quoth the cook,''What is the craft?'' |
5245 | Quoth the dealer,''Who will buy this fellow, and he a man of fourscore?'' |
5245 | Quoth the eunuch,"Is there amongst you a brother of his or a son?" |
5245 | Quoth the king to him,"Whence comest thou, O youth?" |
5245 | Quoth the king''How knowest thou that?'' |
5245 | Quoth the king,"And what is his story?" |
5245 | Quoth the king,"Where is he?" |
5245 | Quoth the king,"Who was Bekhtzeman and what is his story?" |
5245 | Quoth the king,"Who was King Ibrahim and who was his son?" |
5245 | Quoth the king,"Whom wilt thou take with thee of attendants and[ what] of good?" |
5245 | Quoth the king,''Dost thou call thyself a cavalier and a man of learning and deemest that victory is in abundance of troops?'' |
5245 | Quoth the merchant,"Knowest thou not, O my lord, that I am of this tribe? |
5245 | Quoth the other,''Wilt thou not make haste and awaken the Commander of the Faithful?'' |
5245 | Quoth the prefect,"Did its owner sell it to thee?" |
5245 | Quoth the prefect,"How shall we do?" |
5245 | Quoth the prince,''What is it?'' |
5245 | Quoth the princess,"And what is it?" |
5245 | Quoth the sage,''Dost thou know Galen?'' |
5245 | Quoth the superintendant,"What aileth this youth?" |
5245 | Quoth the thief,''And what is the amount of the rent?'' |
5245 | Quoth the thief,''What is the sum of this?'' |
5245 | Quoth the vizier,''What is the weight of the elephant?'' |
5245 | Quoth they,''And who was this dog that we should send to thee, on his account? |
5245 | Quoth they,''Lewd fellow that thou art, dost thou bespeak us thus? |
5245 | Quoth they,''What proof wouldst thou have? |
5245 | Said ye not truly, aforetime, that we should live and meet? |
5245 | Seest thou default[ in the entertainment] or dost thou mock at us, of thy lack of breeding?" |
5245 | Seest thou in me any default?" |
5245 | Seest thou not that I am a stranger? |
5245 | Shall he carry off Tuhfeh from my very palace and outrage mine honour? |
5245 | She heard our voices and raising her eyes to us, said,"Are ye not ashamed to deal with us thus and discover our nakedness? |
5245 | She told him their names and her own, whereby he knew that it was she whose belly he had slit and said to her,''And where are thy father and mother?'' |
5245 | She wept and answered, saying,''O king, how canst thou find it in thy heart to bespeak me thus? |
5245 | She will say to thee,''What aileth thee?'' |
5245 | Sherik ben Amrou, what device avails the hand of death to stay? |
5245 | So I kissed his hand and said,''O my lord, what is the lord''s occasion with the slave?'' |
5245 | So I said in myself,''Who will bury me in this place?'' |
5245 | So I said to him,''Knowest thou the art of painting?'' |
5245 | So I said,"O my lord, what is this thou sayest?" |
5245 | So I told him what had befallen me and he marvelled exceedingly and rejoiced, saying,''Knowst thou where this hill is?'' |
5245 | So Mesrour went out, running, and the Khalif said to Zubeideh,"Wilt thou lay me a wager?" |
5245 | So he acquainted them with his history, from first to last, whereby they knew him and said to him,''Art thou[ such an one] son of such an one?'' |
5245 | So he arose and brought her a gugglet of water; but she said to him,"Who bade thee fetch that?" |
5245 | So he ate thereof with all his might, till he had gotten his fill, when he called one of the slave- girls and said to her,"What is thy name?" |
5245 | So he bade bring them before him, and when they came into his presence, he questioned them, saying,''Where are the two boys ye took on such a day?'' |
5245 | So he betook himself to her, and said to her,''Wilt thou be sold to Ishac ben Ibrahim el Mausili?'' |
5245 | So he betook himself to his house; but when the artful baggage his wife saw him, she cried out in his face, saying,''Whither away, O trooper? |
5245 | So he cried out, saying,"Is there a comer- forth[ to battle?]" |
5245 | So he looked at them and rising up, for that he knew them not, said to them,"What say ye? |
5245 | So he opened his eyes and finding an old woman at his head, raised his eyes and said to her,"Who art thou?" |
5245 | So he repaired to the draper''s shop and sat down by him and said to him,"Thou knowest the turban- cloth I bought of thee?" |
5245 | So he said to her,''Do thou excuse me, for my servant hath locked the door, and who shall open to us?'' |
5245 | So he said to him,"O my lord, I conjure thee by God the Great, wilt thou not tell me whither thou intendest?" |
5245 | So he said to the folk,''Know ye not who I am?'' |
5245 | So he said to the singer,''And what said she to thee at thy going away?'' |
5245 | So he said,''O Sewab, what aileth thee?'' |
5245 | So he said,''O strumpet, what doings are these?'' |
5245 | So he smelt it and she said to him,"How deemest thou?" |
5245 | So he stood and said to her,''Who art thou and what is thy need?'' |
5245 | So he turned to those who were present and said to them,"To whom belongeth yonder house?" |
5245 | So her lord went in to her and said to her,"O Sitt el Milah, how findest thou thyself?" |
5245 | So his friend said to him,''How often did I tell thee thou hadst no luck in wheat? |
5245 | So how wilt thou return and cast thyself again into thine enemy''s hand? |
5245 | So she donned a devotee''s habit and betaking herself to the goldsmith, said to him,''To whom belongeth the bracelet that is in the king''s hand?'' |
5245 | So she improvised and sang the following verses: Beard of the old he- goat, the one- eyed, what shall be My saying of a knave, his fashion and degree? |
5245 | So she saluted her and said to her,"Whence hadst thou this dress, than which there is no goodlier?" |
5245 | So she took the knife from him and said to her husband,''Art thou a woman and he a man? |
5245 | So the cadi said to the brother,"Hath he delivered thee the garden, as he saith?" |
5245 | So the highwayman took the saddle- bags and offered to kill the traveller, who said,"What is this? |
5245 | So the king said to him,''Why dost thou not go about thy business?'' |
5245 | So the king said to his vizier,''How shall we avail to abide in this city, and we in this state of poverty?'' |
5245 | So the lackpenny stopped and said to him,''Dost thou cry out upon me and becall[ me] with these words, O cuckold?'' |
5245 | So the master of the police refrained from slaying him and said to the third,"Who art thou?" |
5245 | So the thief returned in haste to his fellows, who said,''What is behind thee?'' |
5245 | So the trooper said to him,''What ails thee to be thus?'' |
5245 | So they arose in haste and betaking themselves to the Khalif''s presence, said to him,''O Commander of the Faithful, what is to do?'' |
5245 | So they brought him into his presence on the speediest wise, and when Galen saw him before him, he said to him,''Knowest thou me?'' |
5245 | So they did as he commanded and the merchant took his eyes in his hand and said,''How long[ wilt thou afflict me], O star of ill- omen? |
5245 | So they laid hands on me and carried me to the chief of the police, who said,"What hast thou to do with this fellow?" |
5245 | So they presented themselves before him,[ and the boy with them,] whom when the king saw, he said to them,"To whom belongeth this boy?" |
5245 | Tell me, are grapes and honey lawful or unlawful?" |
5245 | Tell me, was ever yet a mortal spared of thee? |
5245 | The Khalif laughed at him and said to him,"O elder, thou hast done no offence; so[ why] fearest thou?" |
5245 | The Khalif was amazed at his speech and said to him,''What sayst thou?'' |
5245 | The assessor looked out of window and seeing the folk, said,"What aileth you?" |
5245 | The cadi turned to Firouz and said to him,"What sayst thou, O youth?" |
5245 | The damsel opened to her and seeing her clad in devotee''s apparel,[FN#184] saluted her and said to her,''Belike thou hast an occasion with us?'' |
5245 | The deputy was angered against him and said to him,"What is the meaning of thy laughter? |
5245 | The doorkeepers thought that he was the washer and said to him,''Hast thou made an end of the washing, so we may tell the Amir?'' |
5245 | The eunuch fell a- weeping in the pit and the youth said to him,''What is this weeping and what shall it profit here?'' |
5245 | The eunuchs cried out to us, whereupon we came with the boat, and they said to the boatman,"Who is this?" |
5245 | The folk marvelled at this story and as for the prefect and El Melik ez Zahir, they said,''Wrought ever any the like of this device?'' |
5245 | The love of Mariyeh fled forth of his heart and he said to the nurse,"How much hadst thou of Mariyeh every month?" |
5245 | The old man kissed his hand and went away; whereupon quoth Er Reshid to him,''O Ishac, who is yonder man and what is his occasion?'' |
5245 | The prefect bade carry him to his lodging; but one of those in attendance upon him, by name El Muradi, said to him,"What wilt thou do? |
5245 | The prince thanked them and said to them,''God requite you with all good, for indeed ye give me loyal counsel; but whither would ye have me go?'' |
5245 | The slave- dealer arose, shaking the dust from his clothes and head, and said,"Who biddeth more? |
5245 | The thief turned to me and looking a long while in my face, said,"Who took this man?" |
5245 | The youth sighed and answered,''I am a stranger;''and the eunuch said,''From what land art thou and who is thy father?'' |
5245 | Then Selim turned to Selma and said to her,''O sister mine, how deemest thou of this calamity and what counsellest thou thereanent?'' |
5245 | Then he accosted Er Razi''s wife and said to her,''How came his death about?'' |
5245 | Then he came to the damsel and said to her,"O Sitt el Milah, shall I sell thee to yonder young Damascene for sixteen hundred dinars?" |
5245 | Then he girt his middle with a handkerchief and entering, saluted the young merchant, who said to him,''Where hast thou been?'' |
5245 | Then he repeated his speech and said,"Why do I not hear your Amir return me an answer?" |
5245 | Then he rushed in upon them, and when El Merouzi saw him, he marvelled at him and said to him,''How didst thou make thine escape?'' |
5245 | Then he said to the chief eunuch,"Who am I?" |
5245 | Then he turned to Abou Temam and said to him,''Wilt thou not go with my message and seek me[ in marriage] the king''s daughter of the Turks?'' |
5245 | Then he turned to a damsel of the damsels and said to her,"Who am I?" |
5245 | Then he turned to another eunuch and said to him,"O my chief,[FN#20] by the protection of God, am I Commander of the Faithful?" |
5245 | Then he turned to the woman and said to her,''And thou, what sayst thou?'' |
5245 | Then he went into the harem and gave the rubies to his wife Afifeh, who said to him,"What is the worth of these with thee and with[ other] the kings?" |
5245 | Then he went on, but, before he had gone far, he said in himself,"If I take up the money and spur my horse and forego him, how shall he overtake me?" |
5245 | Then he wept and cried out and said to the prefect,"Where is that ill- omened fellow, who aboundeth in thievery and villainy?" |
5245 | Then let his fellow say,"Knowest thou this for truth?" |
5245 | Then let the other of you ask,"And what is his transgression?" |
5245 | Then one of the crew questioned her, saying,''Whose wife art thou?'' |
5245 | Then said El Fezl to the gaoler,"Is there any prisoner left in the prison?" |
5245 | Then said En Numan to the Tai,"And thou, what prompted thee to return, knowing that therein was death and thine own destruction?" |
5245 | Then said Er Razi,''What is this, O fool?'' |
5245 | Then said Galen,''What prompted thee to that which thou dost?'' |
5245 | Then said I to her,"Belike thou wilt seek us another pitcher of water?" |
5245 | Then said he to Arwa,"What wilt thou that I do with them?" |
5245 | Then said he to Sherik,"What prompted thee to become warrant for him, knowing that it was death?" |
5245 | Then said he to a third,"What is thy name?" |
5245 | Then said he to her,''Shah Khatoun, Shah Khatoun, is this my recompense from thee?'' |
5245 | Then said he to me,''O Sindbad, is this king, indeed, such as he avoucheth in this letter?'' |
5245 | Then said he to me,''O my friend, hath there befallen thee in thy life aught of calamity?'' |
5245 | Then said he to the king,''In what crafts dost thou excel?'' |
5245 | Then said one of them to other,"Verily, the king is slain; so with whom do we wage war? |
5245 | Then said she to him,"O my son, was there any one with thee yesternight?" |
5245 | Then said she to him,''When the king saw him and questioned thee of him, what saidst thou to him?'' |
5245 | Then said she,"Hath any the right to say of me that I am lophanded? |
5245 | Then said she,"O king, comest thou to a[ watering-]place whereat thy dog hath drunken and wilt thou drink thereof?" |
5245 | Then said she,"Where is the goal of thine intent, so we may know thy news and solace ourselves with thy report?" |
5245 | Then said the Amir to me,"What aileth thee that thou answerest not?" |
5245 | Then said the goldsmith to the prince,''Whence hadst thou these rubies?'' |
5245 | Then said the king,"Hast thou a need we may accomplish unto thee? |
5245 | Then said the king,"How long wilt thou beguile us with thy prate, O youth? |
5245 | Then said the magistrate,"How camest thou to bring it[ for sale] to the place whence thou stolest it?" |
5245 | Then said the prince,"Wilt thou play another game?" |
5245 | Then said the wife,''O man, how much do we owe the baker and the greengrocer?'' |
5245 | Then she broke out again into song and chanted the following verses:"Forget him,"quoth my censurers,"forget him; what is he?" |
5245 | Then she brought out a rosary and began to tell her beads thereon, and the damsel said to her,''Whence comest thou, O pilgrim? |
5245 | Then she slept awhile and presently awaking, said,"O elder, hast thou what we may eat?" |
5245 | Then she went on before me and I followed her till she came to a lodging- house and said to the housekeeper,"Hast thou an empty chamber?" |
5245 | Then the king acquainted the people[ of his court] with the matter and said to them,''O folk, how deem ye of my looking to the issues of affairs?'' |
5245 | Then they took him and carried him to[ their king] Zuheir ben Shebib; and when he came before him, he said to him,"Of which of the Arabs art thou?" |
5245 | Then we questioned him, saying,''Who is thy father?'' |
5245 | Then will he say to thee,''Then thou art an ape- leader of the tribe of the mountebanks?'' |
5245 | Then, when he had drunken, he said to him,"If thou wert denied the going forth of the draught from thy body, with what wouldst thou buy its issue?" |
5245 | There he saw a man tilling; so he sought guidance of him and the husbandman said,''Art thou a stranger?'' |
5245 | Therewith the prefect turned to me and said,"Why dost thou not answer the Cadi?" |
5245 | Therewithal Noureddin''s life was troubled; so he arose and donned his clothes, and his host said,"Whither away this night, O my lord?" |
5245 | Therewithal the king''s chamberlains and officers accosted them and said to them,"What is behind you and what hath befallen you?" |
5245 | They gave not over going till they came up to me, when the woman stopped and said to me,''Hast thou a draught of water?'' |
5245 | They saw him weeping and mourning and said to him,''What is thy case and what maketh thee weep?'' |
5245 | Thinkest thou to appease my heart with thy prate, whereby the days are spent in talk? |
5245 | This came to Abou Sabir''s knowledge and he said to his wife,''Said I not to thee, O woman, that whoso doth evil, it shall revert upon him? |
5245 | This pleased her and she said to him,"Whence hadst thou this?" |
5245 | Thou art a stranger and a beggar, and what concern hast thou with the king''s health?'' |
5245 | To lovers,"What see ye?" |
5245 | To whom save thee shall I complain, of whom relief implore, Whose image came to visit me, what while in dreams I lay? |
5245 | To whom shall I complain of what is in my soul, Now thou art gone and I my pillow must forswear? |
5245 | What art thou that thou shouldst bespeak us thus? |
5245 | What care I If thou have looked on me a look that caused thee languishment? |
5245 | What did ye? |
5245 | What doth this gold profit us? |
5245 | What excuse is left you?" |
5245 | What had it irked them, had they''d ta''en farewell of him they''ve left Lone, whilst estrangement''s fires within his entrails rage amain? |
5245 | What hath befallen thee?" |
5245 | What is come of the troops that were encamped beside my palace?'' |
5245 | What is her price in money and how much dost thou ask for her?, Quoth the slave- dealer,''She whom thou mentionest is called Tuhfet el Hemca. |
5245 | What is his offence that he should merit this punishment? |
5245 | What is the cause of this?" |
5245 | What is the pleasance of the world, except it be to see My lady''s face, to drink of wine and ditties still to hear? |
5245 | What is there in the tents? |
5245 | What is there in thee to love?" |
5245 | What is this thou sayst? |
5245 | What is thy story and what maketh thee weep?" |
5245 | What is to do?'' |
5245 | What leach such madness can assain or what medicament? |
5245 | What manner of thing is this?'' |
5245 | What possessed thee to leave the door open, so that the Devil came in to me and there befell me with him this and that?" |
5245 | What sayst thou?'' |
5245 | What shall be our excuse with the king? |
5245 | What shall be our excuse with thee, and thou of the sons of the kings?" |
5245 | What then dost thou counsel me that I should do in this matter?" |
5245 | What then,"continued the young treasurer,"is more grievous than the lack of looking to the issues of affairs? |
5245 | What token, then, hast thou of the truth of thy saying?'' |
5245 | What wilt thou have me do now?'' |
5245 | When Abou Sabir''s troops saw this, they marvelled and said,''What is this deed that the king doth? |
5245 | When Er Reshid heard this, he was sore chagrined and waxed exceeding wroth and said,"Shall this happen in a city wherein I am?" |
5245 | When I arose in the morning, there came the chamber- woman and said to me,"Hast thou occasion for the bath?" |
5245 | When I saw her make the ablution, I said in myself,"This woman doth on this wise, and shall I not do the like of her?" |
5245 | When Iblis heard this, he gave a cry, to which the earth trembled, and said,''What is to be done? |
5245 | When Nuzhet el Fuad heard this, she started up from her lying posture and said,"How shall we do?" |
5245 | When he heard her voice, he recovered from his swoon and said to her,''Who art thou?'' |
5245 | When he named Akil, those who were present were agitated; but Zuheir signed to them with his eyes and said to him,"What is thine errand with Akil?" |
5245 | When he saw this, he was amazed and said to them,"What is to do?" |
5245 | When her husband heard this, he said to her,''What is thy name and what are the names of thy father and mother?'' |
5245 | When she awoke, she said to the old man,"O elder, hast thou aught of food?" |
5245 | When she heard this, her wits fled and she would have cried out, but her reason restrained her, and the king said to her,''What is this? |
5245 | When she saw him, she knew him and said to him,''What prompteth the king unto this that he doth?'' |
5245 | When she saw the young man, she said to him,"Art thou here?" |
5245 | When such a fever fills the heart, what leach can make it whole? |
5245 | When the damsel heard these verses, she wept till her clothes were drenched and drew near the old woman, who said to her,''Knowest thou such an one?'' |
5245 | When the folk saw them on this wise, they came up to them and said to them,''What is this strife between you, and no cause for it?'' |
5245 | When the king heard this, he was perplexed and amazed and said to her,''Hast thou a proof that this youth is thy son? |
5245 | When the king heard this, his colour changed and he said to them,''Have ye proof of this?'' |
5245 | When the king saw him do thus, he was sore disquieted and bade seize him and said to him,''Is this my requital from thee? |
5245 | When the letter reached the chiefs[ of the people and troops], they all assembled together to Isfehend and said to him,"What is to do with him? |
5245 | When the merchants saw him, they accosted him and said,"O youth, wilt thou not open thy shop?" |
5245 | When the morning morrowed, he recited the following verses: How long, O Fate, wilt thou oppress and baffle me? |
5245 | When the nurse heard his words, she said to him,"O my lord, and which of the kings is thy father?" |
5245 | When the prince heard this, he looked in his face and knowing him, cried out and said,''Art thou not Bihkerd the king?'' |
5245 | When the prince saw her in this plight, he was as a sleeper awakened and said to her,"What hath befallen thee? |
5245 | Whenas he runs, his feet still show like wings,[FN#140] and for the wind When was a rider found, except King Solomon it were? |
5245 | Whence knowest thou him?'' |

5245 | Where an the sweetmeats? |
5245 | Where is a man''s resource and what can he do? |
5245 | Where is the coffee? |
5245 | Where was the eye of your father this day, that it might have seen you?'' |
5245 | Whereupon the sleeper awoke and sat up; and the eunuch said to him,''Who is thy father in this village and where is thy dwelling?'' |
5245 | Who am I that thou shouldst say all this to me? |
5245 | Who art thou of the folk?" |
5245 | Who art thou, wretch, that thou shouldst hope to win me? |
5245 | Who brought thee into this water- wheel?" |
5245 | Who is at the door other than he?" |
5245 | Who is at the door other than he?" |
5245 | Who is at the door, other than he?" |
5245 | Who is at the door, other than he?" |
5245 | Who is at the door?" |
5245 | Who is at the door?" |
5245 | Who is desirous[ of buying?]" |
5245 | Who is stronger than Thou in resource? |
5245 | Whom hast thou left in the palace?'' |
5245 | Why art thou purposed to depart and leave me to despair? |
5245 | Why to estrangement and despite inclin''st thou with the spy? |
5245 | Why wilt thou slay me?'' |
5245 | Why, then, dost thou postpone the putting him to death?" |
5245 | Why, then, hast thou not looked upon her?'' |
5245 | Wilt thou bespeak the like of me with these words?'' |
5245 | Wilt thou break into the house of Ahmed the fuller, and he a man of repute, having a brother- in- law a Turk, a man of high standing with the Sultan? |
5245 | Wilt thou divorce me? |
5245 | Wilt thou go with us in any event? |

5245 | Wilt thou have God punish me for this and that my term should come to an end and my felicity pass away? |
5245 | Wilt thou not have me to husband?'' |
5245 | Wilt thou sell me yonder slave- girl for sixteen hundred dinars?" |
5245 | With this, the druggist was certified that the house was his house and the wife his wife, and he said,''And what wilt thou do to- day?'' |
5245 | With thy rhymes What wouldst of me? |
5245 | Yet how can I let this knavish dog die and lose the money? |
5245 | [ FN#170]? |
5245 | [ FN#173] For not selling me? |
5245 | [ FN#180] With what eye shall I look on him, and indeed, I am he in whom he confided and to whom he hath entrusted his son? |
5245 | [ FN#194] Dost thou know me?'' |
5245 | [ FN#223] Where, then, is the worth that in aught with my worth can compare And where is the rank in men''s eyes can be likened to mine? |
5245 | [ FN#22] Then said the woman,''What is the remedy?'' |
5245 | [ FN#242] Couldst thou find none on whom to vent thy drunken humour and whom to maltreat save Tuhfeh, more by token that she is a queen? |

5245 | [ The thing is settled;] so say the word, how much wilt thou have[ to her dowry]?" |
5245 | ["Yes, O Commander of the Faithful,"answered Mesrour] Quoth the Lady Zubeideh, laughing from a heart full of wrath,"Wilt thou not leave thy jesting? |
5245 | [''How so?'' |
5245 | ],"as it were the thing had not been, and payest down nought for it?'' |
5245 | and said to them,''Why have ye broken open my chest? |
5245 | answered I, and he said,"What is that thou hast with thee?" |
5245 | answered she, and he said,"What then saidst thou?" |
5245 | asked Selim and she said,''Is there nothing for it but to slay him? |

2762 | And how would they greet me there, Wulf, who am a Norman D''Arcy and a Christian maid? |
2762 | And if one of us is dead? |
2762 | And if they overcome us,asked Godwin,"then the Sultan would be slain?" |
2762 | And my life? |
2762 | And now you are safe in England, do you purpose to return to Damascus with the answer, and, if so, why? |
2762 | And then? |
2762 | And what did they say to you? |
2762 | And what is your payment,she asked,"who are a merchant knight?" |
2762 | And what of Godwin, my brother? |

2762 | And where would the lady Rosamund be? |
2762 | And why has she bidden him? |
2762 | And you, Godwin? |
2762 | And you, Masouda,said Godwin, doubtfully;"how will you escape this place?" |
2762 | And you, Masouda? |
2762 | And you, Wulf? |
2762 | And,went on the Master,"were you not officers of the Sultan''s bodyguard?" |
2762 | Answer? 2762 Are then you a spy also, as the porter called you?" |
2762 | Are these dead or sleeping? |

2762 | Ay, but what knight''s? 2762 Ay,"said Godwin,"but where is Masouda, and what will happen to her who has dared to venture such a plot as this? |
2762 | But did this man tell you further whether that lady has chanced to come to Palestine? |
2762 | But how shall we know that they are not Mameluks? |
2762 | By the sword of the children of the enemy, fighting in the war of Heaven? |
2762 | Can not Masouda save herself, as she told her uncle, the Arab, she would do? 2762 Can not Sir Hugh Lozelle see to it?" |

2762 | Did I not tell you that you would find her sleeping? |
2762 | Did he, sir? 2762 Did he, then, take the knight Lozelle prisoner?" |
2762 | Did you not say she loved you? 2762 Did you pay him, then, lady?" |
2762 | Did you sleep well, Godwin? |

2762 | Have you been on them? |
2762 | Have you seen your cousin, the princess? |
2762 | He called her''the woman with the secret face and eyes that have looked on fear,''did n''t he? 2762 How better could he die,"asked Godwin,"than fighting for the Cross of Christ? |
2762 | How can I answer since you yourself forbid me? |
2762 | How can she be saved when the stormers are drunk with slaughter, and she but one disguised woman among ten thousand others? |
2762 | How can they come, the door being barred? |
2762 | How did Masouda come and go? |
2762 | How did you come? |
2762 | How died this child of God? |
2762 | How do you know that, Sir Godwin? |
2762 | How does the lord Sinan know all things? |
2762 | How is that lord named? |
2762 | How is that, lady, seeing that you are said to be the niece of Salah- ed- din? 2762 How knew she that I should escape?" |
2762 | How knew you of this? |
2762 | How knew you that? |
2762 | I am wondering, Sir Peter and Sir John, why you think it worth while to tell lies to a poor widow? 2762 I did not think that Franks could fight so well; Say, Sir Knight, will you feast with me in my palace?" |
2762 | I thank you,replied Wulf simply;"but, in this hour of torment, who can think of such things as honour gained?" |
2762 | I thought that palmers always went afoot? |
2762 | I wonder,mused Godwin,"whether I shall ever lead her from the altar to the Hall, or whether-- I shall bide alone by the altar?" |
2762 | I, lady? 2762 I? |
2762 | I? 2762 I? |
2762 | I? |
2762 | If so, how died he? |
2762 | In whose name do you bid me yield? |
2762 | Is Rosamund unclean that you would be avenged upon her? 2762 Is Sir Hugh Lozelle here then?" |
2762 | Is all this true, Sir Godwin? |
2762 | Is it given to you to read the future and the decrees of God? |
2762 | Is it the end? |
2762 | Is it there that you mean to murder me, traitor and wizard? |
2762 | Is not a Christian knight fit mate for the blood of an Eastern chief? 2762 Is that so sure?" |
2762 | Is that true, think you? |
2762 | Is there then war between the Sultan and Sinan? |
2762 | Is this a time for scruples about altars? 2762 Is this the soul of my son?" |
2762 | It encircles the inner city, the fortress, and its grounds,said Masouda;"and who lives to- day that could throw a bridge across it? |
2762 | It is brave of you to go,said Rosamund, then added by an afterthought,"How long is it since we left Marseilles?" |
2762 | It is of our cousin Rosamund, is it not? |
2762 | Jest? |
2762 | Let him learn it-- when we reach his court,answered Lozelle, with meaning; then added,"Have you aught else to say to me, prince Hassan? |
2762 | Let us at least be thankful that we are caged together-- for how long, I wonder? |
2762 | Man,Sinan said in a low voice,"what have you done? |
2762 | May I ask help with these packages? |
2762 | Must he then put the woman from him? |
2762 | My lord, Strong- to- Aid,said Rosamund,"do you, who are so brave, blame yonder knights and soldiers because they fought on against desperate odds? |
2762 | My lord, my lord,answered Lozelle,"who can lay a lance on that terrible place in moonlight? |
2762 | My pleasure? 2762 Nay, uncle, how can I tell, seeing that his face was masked like the rest and he spoke through an interpreter? |
2762 | No, in truth, how can you, who have been senseless this month or more? 2762 Noble knights,"he said,"what am I to do? |
2762 | Nothing to win? |
2762 | Now which do you think would please a woman most? |
2762 | Now, my cousins, what will you do? |
2762 | Now, my uncle, what does this mean? |
2762 | Now,said Wulf, halting,"tell me what does all this mean?" |
2762 | Of loving the lady Rosamund, as do all men-- perhaps yourself, old and withered as you are, among them? |
2762 | Of what are you thinking? |
2762 | Of what, then, am I accused? |
2762 | Of whom, O Queen? |
2762 | Oh, how many years have I waited for you? 2762 Oh, those dead soldiers-- what do they portend?" |
2762 | Oh, what can we do now, save die for very shame? |
2762 | Or with Wulf? |
2762 | Other-- where? 2762 Our journey?" |
2762 | Our land is far away, O lord, and where shall we find this long- lost ring? 2762 Peace? |
2762 | Petros, do you understand? 2762 Prince Hassan,"said Rosamund,"is this a deed that great Saladin would wish, to burn drugged men beneath their own roof? |
2762 | Report has been made to me of that story,said the voice;"but what sign do these Franks show? |
2762 | Rosamund? |
2762 | Say, Peter, are you minded to take a companion for this ride? |
2762 | Say, are you hurt? |
2762 | Say, maiden, what ransom do you bring to buy this multitude from doom? 2762 Seek her heart, and perchance-- though this I doubt-- let her yield it to me, she thinking that you care naught for her?" |
2762 | Shall I answer? |
2762 | Shall the sacrifice of blood be offered in vain? 2762 Shall we fight?" |
2762 | She is under ward then? |
2762 | Sir Abbot, which will you taste first-- the red wine or the yellow? 2762 Sir Godwin,"he said sternly,"seeing how you have dealt by me, what brings you back into my camp? |
2762 | Sire, have you seen her? |
2762 | Sirs, will you commit so great a crime? 2762 Sometimes,"said Masouda reflectively,"sometimes I have watched the lady Rosamund, and said to myself,''What do you lack? |
2762 | Surely,answered Godwin,"but where is the companion?" |
2762 | Tell me, prince,she said,"who rules upon this vessel?" |
2762 | Tell me,asked Godwin,"how long is it since I left you?" |
2762 | Tell me,he said,"what of the princess of Baalbec, whom you know as the lady Rosamund D''Arcy? |
2762 | Tell me,said Rosamund, changing her tone,"what is that boat rowing round the river''s mouth? |
2762 | That for the third time you may plot their escape from my vengeance? |
2762 | That she should fall into the hands of Salah- ed- din, or back into those of the master of the Assassins? 2762 The devil? |
2762 | The knight Lozelle? |
2762 | The maid should copy her mistress,answered Masouda with a hard laugh;"but, lady, why do you weep? |
2762 | Then I promised and asked,''What of Masouda?'' 2762 Then is neither of us more to you than the other?" |
2762 | Then the fate of the holy city and all its inhabitants hangs upon the nobleness of a single woman? |
2762 | Then you are not of the Assassins, Masouda? |
2762 | Then, Wulf,answered Godwin slowly,"what more is there to say? |
2762 | Then, dog, why did you try to run away when you saw our faces? |
2762 | Then, knights,he said presently,"tell me, which of you does she love best?" |
2762 | Then, when it is accomplished, shall I be free? |
2762 | They buy, but can they ride? |
2762 | To all three of us? |
2762 | To wake the palmer? |
2762 | Touching these Franks, what is your will? |
2762 | Until the dream be accomplished? |
2762 | Very well; but what is Abdullah''s price? |
2762 | Wait to speak of the fortune until you have done with her, Sir-- is it Peter, or John? |
2762 | Was he a big, red- faced man, with a scar upon his forehead, who always wore a black cloak over his mail? |
2762 | Was this master a Saracen? |
2762 | We have our lives,he said,"but how shall we save her? |
2762 | Well,said Godwin eagerly,"is all ready?" |
2762 | Were I not a Christian would I visit this foggy land of yours to trade in wine-- a liquor forbidden to the Moslems? |
2762 | Were he dishonest would he not have stolen those jewels? |
2762 | What are these? |
2762 | What awful words are those my brother? |
2762 | What can this mean? |
2762 | What can we give you, O Queen,asked the abbess,"who have nothing left save our treasure, to which you are most welcome, our honour, and our lives?" |
2762 | What do you hear, my niece? |
2762 | What do you here, Godwin? |
2762 | What do you know of Masouda, your niece? 2762 What do you seek, holy palmer?" |
2762 | What do you want? |
2762 | What does this man with the torch? |
2762 | What else but go with you, whom we have come so far to seek? |
2762 | What has Heaven to do with him, if he fought not for Heaven? |
2762 | What has chanced? |
2762 | What help, and why? |
2762 | What high- born lady would take such terms? |
2762 | What if they do not come? |
2762 | What is it now, my nephews? |
2762 | What is it? |
2762 | What is that to you, my Uncle, Son of the Sand? |
2762 | What is that to you? |
2762 | What is that to your Holiness? |
2762 | What is that you said? 2762 What is that?" |
2762 | What is that? |
2762 | What is there for you to fear in a nine- mile ride along the shores of the Blackwater? |
2762 | What is your name, palmer, and whence is this box? |
2762 | What is your name? |
2762 | What of it, Sir Saracen? |
2762 | What of our lady Rosamund? |
2762 | What of the attack on the quay? |
2762 | What of the dead men? |
2762 | What of the vengeance of Salah- ed- din? |
2762 | What penance must I bear, father? |
2762 | What say you? |
2762 | What seek you now? |
2762 | What shall we do, Mother? |
2762 | What shall we do? |
2762 | What then? |
2762 | What then? |
2762 | What things? 2762 What was the writing?" |
2762 | What, noble sir,he exclaimed,"do you know my land of Cyprus? |
2762 | What, then, are in question, Wulf? |
2762 | What, then, is your part in this matter? |
2762 | What, then, is your plan, Wulf? |
2762 | What, then, will avail, Masouda? |
2762 | What, then, would you have me do? |
2762 | What, you still stare at me and doubt? 2762 What,"he laughed,"do they still sleep? |
2762 | What? 2762 What?" |
2762 | What? |
2762 | Whatever chances? 2762 Whence come you?" |
2762 | Whence that ring? |
2762 | Where am I? |
2762 | Where have you been? |
2762 | Where is the evidence against us? |
2762 | Where is the security that you will not do it if we are satisfied? |
2762 | Where shall we go? |
2762 | Which is best? |
2762 | Which of us, then, is to die, and which to go free? |
2762 | Which-- oh, which? |
2762 | Which? |
2762 | Whither go you, friends Peter and John, and so early? |
2762 | Who are you, and what is your pleasure? |
2762 | Who can tell when a strange woman leads? |
2762 | Who is he? |
2762 | Who knows that we may find another chance? 2762 Who stand yonder at the end of the cave-- there by the dead men?" |
2762 | Who taught your lips to say such words, O Sultan? |
2762 | Who was the man who brought them to us? |
2762 | Why did I take you into my inn yonder in Beirut when you were the pilgrims Peter and John? 2762 Why do you call me''lady,''Sir Godwin D''Arcy, who am but an inn- keeper, for whom sometimes men find hard names? |
2762 | Why do you weep? |
2762 | Why does that beautiful dark- eyed woman befriend you? |
2762 | Why not? |
2762 | Why not? |
2762 | Why not? |
2762 | Why should I grant them now that they are conquered? |
2762 | Why should I hide the truth? 2762 Why should I not, who have nothing to hide?" |
2762 | Why should I spare what I have already conquered, and what I have sworn to destroy? |
2762 | Why should he be merciful, my son, since they have refused his terms and defied him? 2762 Why should he be merciful,"answered Rosamund,"who has always warned me that if I escaped from him and was recaptured, certainly I must die? |
2762 | Why should not Godwin have a heart? |
2762 | Why should you bear it? |
2762 | Why so? |
2762 | Why, Sir Godwin? |
2762 | Why, then, did you not tell me? |
2762 | Why? 2762 Why? |
2762 | Why? 2762 Why?" |
2762 | Will it fall? |
2762 | Will not Saladin be merciful? |
2762 | Would you sleep already, Wulf, and the sun not yet down? |
2762 | Would you wish to hear? |
2762 | Would you wish to see her? |
2762 | Would you wish to visit the governor at the castle, where there are a few English knights, also some priests who give advice to pilgrims? |
2762 | Yes, but to what judgment? |
2762 | You are ready to die with her, although you are young and strong, and there are so many other women in the world? |
2762 | You hear what he says, the silly fellow? |
2762 | You here, Sir Hugh? |
2762 | You here? |
2762 | You swear that? |
2762 | You warned us against Saladin also,said Godwin,"so what is left to us if we may dare a visit to neither?" |
2762 | You, the patriarch of this sacred city, would tear me from the sanctuary of its holiest altar? 2762 Your report?" |
2762 | ''Dogs, what is it to you which road the Signet takes?'' |
2762 | --he pointed to where Smoke and Flame lay with glazing eyes--"to have unhorsed Saladin and to have slain this prince in single combat?" |
2762 | A symbol? |
2762 | After all, is it so very hard to choose between death and duty?" |
2762 | Again the voice asked:"Did it die shriven of its sins?" |
2762 | Also, where is the Frankish spy?" |
2762 | Also-- and was this dream indeed, or even as they sped over that horrible pit did he feel a woman''s lips pressed upon his cheek? |
2762 | Although Rosamund did not look convinced, he went on:"Now for Godwin''s thoughts-- what were they?" |
2762 | Am I, who have done you so much service, to be butchered for your pleasure by the lovers of that woman, whom you would honour with the name of wife?" |
2762 | And has he not returned thither to take her away?" |
2762 | And if he found her not, what then? |
2762 | And if he found her, what then? |
2762 | And if so, from whom comes the message?" |
2762 | And now must the shadow of a woman fall upon and blight that love which is so fair and precious?" |
2762 | And when it comes, brother, shall we not be there to share it, as were our grandfather, our father, our uncle, and so many of our kin? |
2762 | And would you die for me? |
2762 | And you, Sir Knight, what say you of the black stuff--''Mavro,''we call it-- not the common, but that which has been twenty years in cask?" |
2762 | Are all here drunken? |
2762 | Are not these glittering garments to hang about a woman''s shape? |
2762 | Are these knights, then, the nephews of Salah- ed- din?" |
2762 | Are you sure, Godwin, that this poor face will be an angel''s?" |
2762 | As chance has brought us together-- if it be chance-- will you aid us in this, as I think you can, or must we seek other help?" |
2762 | As they prepared to go with them, Rosamund asked:"Tell me of your grace, what of Masouda, my friend?" |
2762 | Both of you?" |
2762 | But counsel me-- what shall I do now?" |
2762 | But how did you chance to hear of them, O widowed hostess of a Syrian inn?" |
2762 | But tell us, Sultan, what shall we do? |
2762 | But to God? |
2762 | But what do you think of that wine, holy Abbot?" |
2762 | But what is the price of them?" |
2762 | But what is the use of telling her till the time comes? |
2762 | But what is this wonderful question which may not be answered?" |
2762 | But what of the prince Hassan?" |
2762 | But what value would she put upon the gift? |
2762 | But whither were they to go without Rosamund? |
2762 | But why should I, who am but a merchant, thrust myself upon your noble company? |
2762 | But why would you go to Al- je- bal?" |
2762 | But you? |
2762 | But, lady, do you know it? |
2762 | But, lady, why do you look at us so strangely?" |
2762 | By whom?" |
2762 | Can you complain who, both of you, have refused to take her as a wife?" |
2762 | Can you hold your own awhile against eight men, think you?" |
2762 | Can you leave her at such a time?" |
2762 | Can you pay as much?" |
2762 | Could he do this for the sake of the welfare of his soul in some future state? |
2762 | Could that be needful or of service to God or man? |
2762 | Dare we disobey his message?" |
2762 | Dead, or only dying? |
2762 | Did ever horses gallop so fast? |
2762 | Did the grey horse swim the creek, and how came we here? |
2762 | Do we march against Saladin like bold, Christian men, or do we bide here like cowards?" |
2762 | Do you accept them as interpreters? |
2762 | Do you brethren wish to do Salah- ed- din a service?" |
2762 | Do you consent?" |
2762 | Do you dare to give her back to them and death, for such will be her doom at the hands of Saladin? |
2762 | Do you desire to meet your brother for the last time?" |
2762 | Do you fight for me or against me? |
2762 | Do you know what was in his mind? |
2762 | Do you mean place, or wealth, or-- love?" |
2762 | Do you not know the custom? |
2762 | Do you remember me?" |
2762 | Do you understand?" |
2762 | Do you wonder that I am still so wroth, believing as I do that a great occasion has been taken from me?" |
2762 | Does it please you?" |
2762 | Dreams of what?" |
2762 | Even in the cool, darkened room she noticed it, and said, bitterly enough:"What does it matter? |
2762 | Fear remained also-- for what of Masouda? |
2762 | For a moment Rosamund turned pale, then spoke in a steady voice:"Say, what service can my poor life be to you, O Queen, and by whom is it sought?" |
2762 | From love of Godwin then? |
2762 | Go back to England to live there upon his lands, and wait until old age and death overtook him? |
2762 | Had Rosamund told Masouda this? |
2762 | Have I not said it is my business to know? |
2762 | Have I your leave to bring in the chest, and if so, will one of your servants help me, for it is heavy?" |
2762 | Have you no eyes to see that he is enamoured of her loveliness-- like others? |
2762 | Have you seen her while I slept, which has been long?" |
2762 | Have you some secret wound?" |
2762 | He agreed with me through that dead spy that they should be slain, and do you not know that if I give no orders in such a case I mean death, not life? |
2762 | He looked up, and seeing the bishop, asked peevishly:"What is it now? |
2762 | He paused awhile, then looked up and said,"Girl, do you know what Saladin has made of you? |
2762 | He took the jewel, then turned to Saladin and said, pointing to the dead body of Hassan:"Have I your peace, Sultan, after such a deed?" |
2762 | Heard you not what my kinsman called to me? |
2762 | Heaven? |
2762 | How came they to know that you and Rosamund were riding that day to St. Peter''s- on- the- Wall, and so were able to waylay you? |
2762 | How could two men hope to snatch her from the heart of such a host and to spirit her out of Damascus and through its encircling armies? |
2762 | How did those horses keep their footing? |
2762 | How do you know that he will befriend you-- how that he will not enslave or kill you? |
2762 | How know you? |
2762 | How long would it be, they wondered, before they also were bidden to walk that gulf? |
2762 | How many Saracens have you slain? |
2762 | How shall such a one find mercy?" |
2762 | How should he deal with her? |
2762 | How strange also that you should have come on hither against her counsel, which, seeing what we have, I think was honest?" |
2762 | I know not, and do you know yourself? |
2762 | I wonder why? |
2762 | If he should not come back into it, what would her life be? |
2762 | In which chamber are your garments?" |
2762 | Instantly guards thrust themselves between them, and Sinan asked through Masouda:"Why do you dare to strike this Frank in my presence?" |
2762 | Is he the better man?" |
2762 | Is it indeed you? |
2762 | Is it so?" |
2762 | Is it the work of traitors to have charged alone through all this host until our horses died beneath us?" |
2762 | Is it thus that you keep faith with me?" |
2762 | Is it to be borne that I must associate with my father''s murderer?" |
2762 | Is it your will that we should make such a pact?" |
2762 | Is it your wish that they should accompany you?" |
2762 | Is not that death of his at Harenc told of to this day? |
2762 | Is she with you?" |
2762 | Is that a crime, in one who is not poor, who, moreover, was knighted for his deeds by no mean hand? |
2762 | Is there any place where I may sleep? |
2762 | Is this a dream, or is it a message? |
2762 | Is this a time to listen to the prayers of a girl or to threats of a single knight, or the doubts of a superstitious captain? |
2762 | Is this fit work for pilgrims?" |
2762 | Is this your chivalry?" |
2762 | Is your answer ready, Sir Andrew?" |
2762 | It is cheap, quiet and comfortable-- things which I heard you say you required just now, did I not?" |
2762 | It was Rosamund''s; and she said:"Why is there such silence, father? |
2762 | Jest? |
2762 | Make friends with the spider?" |
2762 | May we bid farewell to our cousin Rosamund before we ride?" |
2762 | Must he we d her, and did he wish this? |
2762 | My own guard kill me?" |
2762 | Noble knight, have I your leave to draw?" |
2762 | Now Saladin looked at Rosamund and asked,"Woman, why have you come here to brave my vengeance? |
2762 | Now Wulf came back, saying heavily:"I forgot the thing-- who would not at such a time? |
2762 | Now one murmured,"She has taken sanctuary,"but the patriarch said:"Tell us, daughter, does she pray alone?" |
2762 | Now she stared at him with wide, wondering eyes, and replied:"He is so called also; but, Sir Pilgrims, what know you of the dread lord Al- je- bal?" |
2762 | Now what plan have you? |
2762 | Now what was this vision? |
2762 | Now which of them would you choose?" |
2762 | Now, Princess, are you satisfied?" |
2762 | Now, Sir Knights, answer me one more question--""Sir Templar, with my tongue or with my sword?" |
2762 | Now, Sir Wulf, can you walk? |
2762 | Now, brother, what is to be done? |
2762 | Now, why do I tell you this? |
2762 | Now, you are the officers of the bodyguard who watch in the ante- chamber to- night, are you not? |
2762 | Of what, he wondered-- of what? |
2762 | Oh, God, my pleasure?" |
2762 | Oh, then indeed I kiss your hands, and surely you will not affront me by refusing this little present? |
2762 | One asked:"Has this soul sinned?" |
2762 | Only Wulf said in a loud voice, in English:"Tell us, Rosamund, is it well with you?" |
2762 | Or their arms may grow weary, or themselves they may fall before ever they reach this house-- and what, my daughters, shall we do then?" |
2762 | Or will you die?" |
2762 | Or will you give up your swords and bide here as my prisoners?" |
2762 | Presently Saladin entered, and, looking at him curiously, said:"Are you still of the same mind, Sir Godwin?" |
2762 | Priest, where is the lady Rosamund?" |
2762 | Return to the camp with Sir Balian?" |
2762 | Rosamund looked at them and smiled, then said in a clear voice:"What say you, my cousin and betrothed, Sir Wulf D''Arcy? |
2762 | Rosamund looked at them awhile, then answered:"To whom were you sworn the first? |
2762 | Rosamund''s face paled, but she answered proudly:"Why should I fear what my brethren do not fear? |
2762 | Say, Franks, are you prepared to drink the dregs of that cup I promised you?" |
2762 | Say, are you hurt?" |
2762 | Say, is it you, Masouda?" |
2762 | Say, will you go and queen it there?" |
2762 | See you, my brother, have ever brethren loved each other as we do? |
2762 | She left you my father''s sword, Wulf? |
2762 | She left you the cross, Godwin? |
2762 | She listened with an impassive face, and answered:"Doubtless you have heard that one of us who was so named was burned here recently as a witch?" |
2762 | She looked at him wonderingly, and asked,"Are these the words of a wooer or of a saint in wooer''s weeds? |
2762 | She noted it and smiled at the sad omen, then said:"Ladies, why should I mock my doom with these bright garments?" |
2762 | She started, and answered:"So you understand Arabic? |
2762 | Should I not have surrendered myself to the wrath of Saladin if the lives of so many hang upon it? |
2762 | Should he abandon hope? |
2762 | Should he fly the battle for fear that he might be defeated? |
2762 | Sir Knights, do you understand my language?" |
2762 | Sir Saracen, does not the memory of that chapman''s trick shame you now?" |
2762 | Sir Wulf, say, are you much hurt?" |
2762 | So Godwin told him all, and at the end asked him,"What think you?" |
2762 | So now war was before them-- war to the end; and who were they that must bear its brunt? |
2762 | So strong was this feeling in him that he halted in his walk, and asked:"Tell me, lord, do I go to my death?" |
2762 | Son of the Sand, my Uncle, what say you?" |
2762 | Surely the place was familiar to him? |
2762 | Sweet lady, knowing where the course is laid, say, do you fear to see this fray?" |
2762 | Tell me now, honestly, why do you do this?" |
2762 | Tell me now, is she aught more to you?" |
2762 | Tell me now, what are you thinking of, you two-- for I have been wondering in my dull way, and am curious to learn how far I stand from truth? |
2762 | Tell me, daughter, which?" |
2762 | Tell me, is she still here, or has she fled?" |
2762 | Tell us, Sir Godwin, were not you and your brother once the Sultan''s guests at Damascus?" |
2762 | That night none slept, for all were athirst, and who can sleep with a burning throat? |
2762 | The abbess started, and asked:"Is she, then, of their accursed faith, as her garb would seem to show?" |
2762 | The eyes of the two women met, and those of Rosamund asked,"Which?" |
2762 | The jewel was Hassan''s gift to me; who else could give it to Abdullah?" |
2762 | The right of sanctuary?" |
2762 | The yellow from Kyrenia? |
2762 | Then Sir Andrew added,"You say you know nothing of all the business in which you play this part?" |
2762 | Then Wulf looked at him curiously and asked:"What have you seen?" |
2762 | Then he looked up, saying:"And now?" |
2762 | Then he sheathed his sword again and added in a shamed voice,"Are we children that we fight where no foe is? |
2762 | Then she asked:"Why did not you who are free go with him?" |
2762 | Then tell me, as soldiers to a soldier, what do you seek from Salah- ed- din?" |
2762 | To abandon the world and to spend his life muttering prayers like those priests in the darkness behind him? |
2762 | To be brave and upright? |
2762 | To fight for the Cross of Christ against the Saracen? |
2762 | To ride for the coast towns?" |
2762 | To what?" |
2762 | Was he not sent into the world to bear his part in the world-- to live his full life? |
2762 | Was it not to Wulf, Wulf who was handsomer and more strong than he, to Wulf, the conqueror of Lozelle? |
2762 | Was it to the service of our Lord, or to the service of a woman? |
2762 | Well, if Jerusalem were saved, would not tens of thousands of Moslem and Christian lives be saved also? |
2762 | Well, sirs, may I take your orders? |
2762 | Well, what more have you to offer for all this?" |
2762 | Well, what seek ye, Franks?" |
2762 | Were these folk mad that they would put double- laden horses at such a jump? |
2762 | Were they who stood there about to match their strength and courage against all the might of Saladin, doomed to fail or gloriously to succeed? |
2762 | What chance has this lord of yours against a nation sworn to obey to the death? |
2762 | What do you think, Rosamund?" |
2762 | What does it matter to you?" |
2762 | What does your faith teach-- the faith in which I was bred, and lost, but that now is mine again-- because it is yours? |
2762 | What farewells have you to make? |
2762 | What have I to do with jewels?" |
2762 | What have you to gain? |
2762 | What have you to say?" |
2762 | What if some other man--? |
2762 | What is his will with me?" |
2762 | What is it to you, Sir Godwin, why a certain woman- spy of the Assassins, whom in your own land you would spit on, chooses to do this or that?" |
2762 | What is it?" |
2762 | What is my crime against you? |
2762 | What is your pleasure with me?" |
2762 | What lady--?" |
2762 | What more had he to do with his life, which had been so full of sorrow, struggle and bloodshed? |
2762 | What more? |
2762 | What news of Masouda? |
2762 | What of Rosamund? |
2762 | What of Wulf?'' |
2762 | What ransom, and what gift?" |
2762 | What said you of my uncle, priest? |
2762 | What say you to my offer? |
2762 | What shall we do now, brother?" |
2762 | What sort of knights do you think us, then, that you offer us counsel which is fitter for those spies from whom you learn your tidings? |
2762 | What then?" |
2762 | What time had he to tell us of any ring?" |
2762 | What went he forth to seek? |
2762 | What will happen to them?" |
2762 | What, Wulf, does the man sleep already?" |
2762 | When all paths are full of thorns what matter which you tread?" |
2762 | When he had finished Godwin asked of him as he had asked of Wulf:"What think you, holy father? |
2762 | When they reached their room again Godwin asked Wulf:"Why does this man sell us those noble steeds?" |
2762 | Where do you go, Godwin?" |
2762 | Where is it? |
2762 | Where is she?" |
2762 | Where is she?" |
2762 | Where is that sacred ring, with which he parted in his foolishness?" |
2762 | Where, then, is Rosamund?" |
2762 | Who am I that I should stand between a fool and his folly? |
2762 | Who could have been at such a time, with death beneath them? |
2762 | Who else?" |
2762 | Who knows? |
2762 | Who then has such urgent need of the lady Rosamund?" |
2762 | Who would, in such a hurry?" |
2762 | Why did I find you the best horses in Syria and guide you to the Al- je- bal? |
2762 | Why did I often dare death by torment for you there? |
2762 | Why did I save the three of you? |
2762 | Why did you not kill him? |
2762 | Why do you ask it now?" |
2762 | Why do you ask me these riddles? |
2762 | Why do you ask? |
2762 | Why had Masouda done these things, again and again putting her own life upon the hazard to save theirs and the honour of another woman? |
2762 | Why not, since from them you can not need protection? |
2762 | Why not? |
2762 | Why seek her here whom you say has been taken to Salah- ed- din? |
2762 | Why should she not become a knight''s wife?" |
2762 | Why should you fear? |
2762 | Why, what is this? |
2762 | Will Sir Wulf give it?" |
2762 | Will her dead body bring you peace? |
2762 | Will you come with me and speak to him?" |
2762 | Will you dare to tear a maiden from it whose only sin is that she, a Christian, has escaped the Saracens by whom she was stolen? |
2762 | Will you give yourself to me in marriage, Rosamund?" |
2762 | Will you go on?" |
2762 | Will you not take it now? |
2762 | Will you subscribe the Koran and embrace the faith of Islam? |
2762 | Will you take such coward council? |
2762 | Will you take the peace of Salah- ed- din, or force his servants to take your life?" |
2762 | Will you take the princess and her dominions with my love thrown in as a marriage portion?" |
2762 | With the horses?" |
2762 | Would it not be wiser, then, that I should forbid them to ask this riddle?" |
2762 | Would it please either of us, brother, if, as may well chance, he should be some stranger?" |
2762 | Would men take so much pains for a sister''s sake, think you? |
2762 | Would she never wake? |
2762 | Would they ever look on Steeple Hall again? |
2762 | Would they swim into this net of yours for a sister''s sake?" |
2762 | Would you have me die?" |
2762 | Would you not have called them cowards if they had yielded up the city where their Saviour died and struck no blow to save it? |
2762 | Wulf saw his face in the moonlight, and asked:"What ails you, Godwin? |
2762 | Yes, you hinted as much upon the ship, did you not? |
2762 | Yes-- they are not easily forgotten, are they? |
2762 | Yet if this were so, why had Masouda saved Rosamund, the lady to whom she knew well that he was sworn? |
2762 | Yet what had he to fear that night? |
2762 | You do not understand Greek-- only Arabic? |
2762 | You have the soldiers''horses with your own? |
2762 | You say that you would speak with my niece Rosamund? |
2762 | You smile? |
2762 | You would not risk that for me, would you?" |
2762 | You, her fit mate? |
2762 | asked Godwin,"masked like you common cowards? |
2762 | did not Rosamund love Wulf? |
2762 | have I done right? |
2762 | he asked;"and how found you her?" |
2762 | he went on,"as I can not open them here, and to move the casks? |
2762 | is set more on gain than on the sufferings of the blessed Son of Mary,"and he crossed himself,"to form a judgment upon such high matters? |
2762 | know you what this woman did? |
2762 | lady, what must you think of me who seemed to desert you so basely? |
2762 | my daughter, how can we save you, whose own lives are at stake? |
2762 | said the Templar with bitter sarcasm,"you saved Saladin''s life, did you? |
2762 | the two of you?" |
2762 | think me no vain fool, but since it is best perhaps that both should know full surely, tell me, is it as I have sometimes--""Feared?" |
2762 | what is about to chance? |
2762 | what is that? |
2762 | what more is there to say?" |
2762 | what will it serve?" |
2762 | when I think of it I feel as though I loved her-- don''t you?" |
2762 | why should he spare them? |
2762 | you English innocents, do you not know a woman through a camel- hair cloak?" |
2762 | you will not drink? |
8658 | A boughten slave? |
8658 | And what did she say to me? |
8658 | And what hath befallen him? |
8658 | And what is it? |
8658 | And what is that? |
8658 | And what is thine excuse? |
8658 | And what thinkest thou to do? |
8658 | And what was the cause of your separation? |
8658 | And why so? |
8658 | But why didst thou not marry them to one another? |
8658 | Can the moon be hidden? |
8658 | For what? |
8658 | Forswear the love of him,my censor says; and I,"That which is not to be, how shall it be?" |
8658 | Hast thou killed the woman and the bear? |
8658 | Hast thou known yonder damsel before to- day? |
8658 | Hast thou pelf? |
8658 | How art thou called? |
8658 | How cometh this? |
8658 | How so? |
8658 | Now, by God''s truth, I never had a mind to hoary hairs, And shall my mouth be stuffed, forsooth, with cotton, ere I''m dead? |

8658 | O enemy of thine own soul,replied I,"dost thou lack of men that thou must do this shameful thing?" |
8658 | O my lady,asked I,"have letters or interviews passed between you?" |
8658 | O my lord,answered I,"do folk write with their feet?" |
8658 | O my lord,said I,"is there aught thou wouldst have me do for thee?" |
8658 | O my lord,said the slave,"Wilt thou go in to him who understands or to him who understands not?" |
8658 | One of thy kindred? |
8658 | Silly wench that thou art,replied the other,"what adorns the tree but its leaves and the cucumber but its bloom? |
8658 | Then,asked I,"what relation was the dead to thee?" |
8658 | Thy brother? |
8658 | To whom does yon large house belong? |

8658 | After awhile the prince enquired for the maker of the horse, saying,''O my father, what hath fortune done with him?'' |
8658 | Ali raised his eyes to her and said,''Must I buy thee perforce? |
8658 | Also, what is thy[ point of] fronting[ in prayer], what thine exemplar, what thy path and what thy highway?'' |
8658 | And again: I prithee, tell me, friend of mine, stands there beneath the sky A building with the Pyramids of Egypt that can vie In skilful ordinance? |
8658 | And again: Where''s he the Pyramids who built? |
8658 | And all the people marvelled at the prince''s words, saying,''How can a horse come down the steps from the roof? |
8658 | And as saith another:"The script of whiskers on his cheek,"quoth they,"is plain to see: How canst thou then enamoured be of him, and whiskered he?" |
8658 | And he would fain have gone down and fled from her; but, before he could do this, she overtook him and said to him,''Whither away?'' |
8658 | And one said,''Did I not tell you that he would do him no hurt? |
8658 | And quoth El Heriri[FN#185] and saith well: My censors say,"What is this love and doting upon him? |

8658 | And when afflictions press and multiply on man, Ah, whither then shall he from destiny take flight? |
8658 | Art thou not a Nazarene, Bersoum by name, and comest thou not hither in quest of somewhat? |
8658 | Art thou not ashamed to reach over for a dish that is distant from thee?'' |
8658 | Art thou not content with spunging, but thou must meddle, to boot? |
8658 | As I looked on him, he repeated the following verses: What ails the fair that she returneth not to me? |
8658 | As for Ali, he was giddy with wine and went in, in this plight, to his wife, who said to him,''What ails thee?'' |
8658 | As soon as she came to herself, she said,"O Commander of the Faithful, what hath God done with my son?" |
8658 | At this his face changed and he sprang to his feet and cried out,"How knowest thou she is dead?" |
8658 | At this the Khalif was exceeding wroth and said to the Imam,''What is to be done, O Abou Yousuf?'' |
8658 | At this the Vizier rejoiced and said,''Is this true that thou sayest?'' |
8658 | But he made him no answer, and the girl said to him,''O my lord and darling of my heart, what ails thee that thou wilt not bid for me? |
8658 | But his Viziers and officers said to him,''O King, how shall we overtake the flying bird? |
8658 | But she rejoined,''Tell me the truth of the case, that I may order my affair; and what wantest thou with the mug of water?'' |
8658 | But what hast thou seen of them that thou shouldst muse upon?" |
8658 | But who is dead unto thee?" |
8658 | But, belike, this is a dream; for how could I hope that the family of the Khalifate should visit me in my own house and carouse with me this night?" |
8658 | But, when thou camest and we accosted thee by thy name and that of thy father, saying,"Shall we send thee down the gold?" |
8658 | Can life be sweet to me after thee?'' |
8658 | Did he leave any children?" |
8658 | Did the notched arrow reach me from midst a host, indeed, Or was it from a lattice that launched at me it flew? |
8658 | Didst ever see aught uglier than a scald- head, with his beard plucked out? |
8658 | Didst thou know of our coming and make this preparation for us?'' |
8658 | Dost thou give me leave to reply to her?" |
8658 | Dost thou not see that the growth on his cheek, forsooth, A violet is, that forth of its leaves doth peer? |
8658 | Dost thou not see the Pyramids? |

8658 | For how, to a lover cut off from his love, Can life be delightsome? |

8658 | Hast thou not heard that the best of all boons, after the true Faith, are health and security?'' |
8658 | Hath the red of thy cheek clad that vest upon thee Or in heart''s blood of lovers hast tinctured the same?" |
8658 | He opened the first and the second, and I looked at them; after which he said to me,"Of which of them shall I give thee the key?" |
8658 | He replied,"No;"and I said,"Thy mother?" |
8658 | He returned my greeting and I said to him,"Whose house is that?" |
8658 | He sprinkled water on his face and when he revived, he said to him,''What has betided thee? |
8658 | He told them that he was dead, and they said,''Did he leave any offspring?'' |
8658 | He went out and returned, pale and trembling in every nerve; so I said to him,"What ails thee?" |
8658 | Here he met a man, between whom and his father there had been friendship; and he saluted him and said to him,''Whither away?'' |
8658 | His eyelids warranted me the keeping of his troth; But how shall they, that bankrupt[FN#16] are, fulfil their warranty? |
8658 | His next neighbour said to him,''Why dost thou not eat of what is before thee? |
8658 | His wife asked him,''What ails thee and where is the ass?'' |
8658 | How can I forget him, when all I endure Arose from the sight of his face heretofore? |
8658 | How can the horse be on the roof? |
8658 | How could we have used a man as a beast of burden, all this while?'' |

8658 | How darest thou lie to kings? |
8658 | How did ye come?'' |
8658 | How long hast thou been mad?'' |
8658 | How many pigeons were there in all?'' |
8658 | How shall I do with her seeing I can not read writing?'' |
8658 | How shall I go forth against them, seeing that I am afoot and they are mounted?'' |
8658 | How shall I live after him? |
8658 | How shall I one forget who is my heart and soul, My malady and he that healing can apply? |
8658 | How shall my life be sweet to me, while she''s afar, That is my life, my wish, the apple of my sight? |
8658 | How shall the marriage be brought about, seeing it misliketh me to open the matter to him?'' |
8658 | How should a dog of mine make gift to thee of a dish of gold and I receive back its price? |
8658 | How then can I return without him?'' |
8658 | I am lost without recourse; but, I wonder, did not he who made the peg of ascent make a peg of descent also?'' |
8658 | If boys, then, were not superior to girls, why should the latter be likened to them? |
8658 | If the most of his paper[FN#192] thus blackened be, where Is there room, deemest thou, for the pen to indite? |
8658 | In all the countries of the world the folk make use of it, And eaten''tis in Ramazan, after mid- afternoon?'' |
8658 | Into how many parts are the stars divided?'' |
8658 | Is it not strange that, on the morn they went away, I lit Fire in my vitals with the tears that from mine eyes did flow? |
8658 | Is it one of the verses of the Koran?'' |
8658 | Is it thus thou requitest us? |
8658 | Is there a bitterer thing than distance and disdain? |
8658 | Is there no judge, in Love its law, to judge betwixt us twain, to do me justice on thy head and take my wreak of thee? |
8658 | Is''t grudgingness in her or inhumanity? |
8658 | Is''t not enough for thee to have a weeping eye And vitals still on fire for memory and despite? |
8658 | It hath an idol like a cock, that doth its belly peck, And half a dirhem is its worth, if thou its price wouldst know?'' |
8658 | It was some time before she returned and the King wondered at this and said to her,''Why hast thou tarried?'' |
8658 | Knowest thou not that I did but tempt thee, that I might beguile thee? |
8658 | Knowest thou not that mighty kings and captains and noble princes still submit themselves humbly to women and depend on them for delight? |
8658 | Knowest thou not that the beard is to men as the side- locks to women; and what is the difference between the chin and the cheek? |
8658 | Living can it not be reckoned, neither may we count it dead: Tell me, then, what is this wonder, rarity of all things rare?'' |
8658 | Moreover, is the companying together of lovers good but in the night? |
8658 | No boy, indeed, is worth to be compared with her: Shall aloes evened be with what not filthiness?" |
8658 | No living one is he, that hath a title to respect, Nor dead, that folk should say of him,"God''s mercy him comprise!"?'' |
8658 | O man, canst thou bear to say farewell and thus from her to part? |
8658 | Omar looked at him and bade them loose him; then, calling him near to himself, said to them,''What is your case with him?'' |
8658 | On the morrow, Mariyeh accosted him, and he received her kindly, though before he would not hearken to her, and said to her,''What is thy will?'' |
8658 | On the morrow, the Jew carried it to one of his brethren, who was skilled in jewels, and he said,''Whence hadst thou this pearl?'' |
8658 | One day, as I sat in my shop, with the ape at my side, he began to turn right and left, and I said in myself,"What ails the beast?" |
8658 | One day, as I sat on the bank of a river, there accosted me a horseman, who said to me,"Art thou not Abou Mohammed the Lazy?" |
8658 | Peradventure of one of those that seek our daughter in marriage?'' |
8658 | Presently, he found the Christian walking behind him; so he said to him,''O Nazarene, why dost thou follow me?'' |
8658 | Presently, they heard her weeping and wailing and said,''O our mistress, why wilt thou mourn for one who mourns not for thee?'' |
8658 | Quoth Abdallah to him,''What moved thee to weary thyself thus and bring me a forged letter? |
8658 | Quoth I to myself,"This is another sign"Then I said to him,"And how couldst thou fall in love with one thou hast never seen?" |
8658 | Quoth I,"Dost thou pass and salutest me not? |
8658 | Quoth I,"Is it far or near, hence to Baghdad?" |
8658 | Quoth I,"Meseems thou art his daughter?" |
8658 | Quoth I,"O Commander of the Faithful, was he indeed thy son?" |
8658 | Quoth I,"Perhaps thy father?" |
8658 | Quoth I,"Wast thou then with us?" |
8658 | Quoth I,"What are they, O my friend?" |
8658 | Quoth I,"Who art thou?" |
8658 | Quoth I,"Who can brook their pride and put up with their arrogance?" |
8658 | Quoth he,"Haply, thou hast some business with us, which we may have the pleasure of transacting?" |
8658 | Quoth he,"Have I said well or ill?" |
8658 | Quoth he,"Surely, thou art Abou Mohammed the Lazy?" |
8658 | Quoth he,"What is this?" |
8658 | Quoth he,''How knewst thou that?'' |
8658 | Quoth he,''Speak, O damsel;''and she said,''What are the branches[FN#244] of Islam?'' |
8658 | Quoth he,''Why this weeping and mourning?'' |
8658 | Quoth he,''Wilt thou indeed go with me?'' |
8658 | Quoth she,''How couldst thou leave me? |
8658 | Quoth she,''What is the difference between them?'' |
8658 | Quoth she,''Whence hadst thou all this?'' |
8658 | Quoth she,''Where is Saturn''s dwelling place?'' |

8658 | Quoth the other,''What is this unjust aggression? |
8658 | Quoth the voice,''If I bring it thee, wilt thou release me and the servant of the other treasure also?'' |
8658 | Quoth they,"Who art thou and what brings thee hither?" |
8658 | Quoth they,''How comes it that thou art guardian of the palace and yet men come in to us, whilst we are asleep?'' |
8658 | Quoth they,''Wilt thou that God restore thee thy hands as they were?'' |
8658 | Sabour looked at them and turning to the Greek, said to him,''O sage, what is the virtue of this peacock?'' |
8658 | Sawst thou ever one stop at a butcher''s stall, but sought fat meat of him? |
8658 | Seest not the hair upon his cheeks that sprouts? |
8658 | Shall I ever behold her or one from her stead, With whom I may solace my heart in despair? |
8658 | Shall I then abase my estate, that thine may exalted become? |
8658 | Shall it not find You peerless and passing compare? |
8658 | Shall my beloved, in my land, my cup- companion be And sorrow and affliction be by pure delight ensued? |
8658 | She laughed and said,"Wilt thou deal fairly with me in argument, if I argue the matter with thee?" |
8658 | She looked at him and seeing that his beard was dyed, said,''What is this lewd and shameful fashion and blackening of the face of hoariness?'' |
8658 | So Ali said to him,''Why dost thou not rise and go thy way?'' |
8658 | So I accosted him and said to him,"O my friend, dost thou seek work?" |
8658 | So I recited the following verses: Budour''s love hast thou forgotten or art deaf still to her sighs? |
8658 | So I rose, but she laid hold of my skirts, saying,"What thinkest thou to do?" |
8658 | So I said to them,"Who are ye and what are these loads and where are we?" |
8658 | So I told him what had passed, and it was grievous to him and he said,"What moved thee to deal thus with him? |
8658 | So I took my sword and going out to see who these were, found them as the boy had reported and said to them,"What is your business?" |
8658 | So Jaafer said to the Bedouin,''If I prescribe thee a remedy that shall profit thee, what wilt thou give me in return?'' |
8658 | So Salih took the money and the jewel and carried them to the Khalif, together with Mensour; but on the way? |
8658 | So he called the princess Zubeideh and said to her,''What is that spilt on the bed?'' |
8658 | So he came out to him and said,''What is thy business?'' |
8658 | So he carried her to the Khalif, to whom he repeated what she had bidden him say, and the Khalif said to her,''What is thy name?'' |
8658 | So he carried him to his house, where he abode awhile, till he said in himself,''How long shall this sojourning in other folks''houses last?'' |
8658 | So he entered the house and took a mug of water; but Zumurrud saw him and said to him,''O my love, hast thou sold the curtain?'' |
8658 | So he repeated to him his story, and Daniel said,''In what part of the garden did this befall?'' |
8658 | So he rose forthright and going in to her, said,''Where is the letter thou hast received?'' |
8658 | So he said to her,''O damsel, what is the lexicographical meaning of the word wuzou? |
8658 | So he said,''Tell me of the sun and its rising and setting?'' |
8658 | So he said,''What is the use of this horse of wood, and what is its virtue and the secret of its movement?'' |
8658 | So he sent for the fisherman, who was a man of wit and discernment, and said to him,''Is this fish male or female?'' |
8658 | So he took an occasion of questioning the porter, in her absence, and said to him,''Whither goest thou every day with yonder woman?'' |
8658 | So saying, she gave him the key, and he said,''Dost thou know the chest?'' |
8658 | So she called for inkhorn and paper and wrote the following verses: How comes it my vows I fulfilled and thou, thou wast false to thy plight? |
8658 | So she called for inkhorn and paper and wrote the following verses: Whence this estrangement and despite, beloved of my soul? |
8658 | So she wept and said to the girls,''O my children, how comes yonder damsel in this plight?'' |
8658 | So the King called him to him and said,''Where?'' |
8658 | So the broker took her hand and stationed her before Ali Shar, saying,''What is thy pleasure, O my lord?'' |
8658 | So the chamberlain took him away, whilst the folk said to one another,''What makes the King deal thus courteously with yonder youth?'' |
8658 | So the maid came up to me and said,"O old man, hast thou no shame, or do gray hairs and impudence go together?" |
8658 | So they brought him before me, abject and humiliated, and I said to him,"O accursed one, why hast thou dealt thus perfidiously with me?" |
8658 | So when he came out from her, I said to her,"How canst thou, with thy rank and nobility and condition, do thus, and I in thy house?" |
8658 | So, O wretched fellow, where are mortal men besides the Jinn? |
8658 | So, when he heard of my return, he wrote to me? |
8658 | So, when he saw him thus chagrined, he said to him,''What ails thee?'' |
8658 | Speak the truth, or, by the splendour of the Deity, I will strike off thy head?'' |
8658 | Tell me, doth thy descant in joyance tale its rise Or in desireful pain, that in thy heart hath place? |
8658 | The Khalif bade Jaafer ask him whence he came; so he said to him,''Whence comest thou?'' |
8658 | The Khalif bowed his head awhile, then raised it and looking round upon those present, said,''Who will be surety to me for his return?'' |
8658 | The Khalif laughed and said,''How so?'' |
8658 | The Khalif looked at one of them, who was like a wild cow of the desert, and said to her,"What is thy name, O damsel?" |
8658 | The Khalif looked at one of them, who was like the sun of the day, and said to her,"What is thy name?" |
8658 | The Khalif wondered at this, saying,''How came yonder black by this wine- service?'' |
8658 | The King also admired it and wondered at it extremely; and he said to the prince,''O youth, is this thy horse?'' |
8658 | The King wondered at her wit and good sense and said to her,''How many sugar- canes didst thou press for this draught?'' |
8658 | The man pulled at the halter, but the thief stirred not; so he turned and seeing the halter on a man''s neck, said to him,''Who art thou?'' |
8658 | Then Abou Musab came forward and recited these verses: When wilt thou put away this dotage from thy spright? |
8658 | Then El Mamoun looked at one of them and captivated by her elegance and the beauty of her aspect, said to her,"What is thy name, O damsel?" |
8658 | Then I dismissed them and returning to my wife, told her what had happened and said to her,"Wilt thou go with me?" |
8658 | Then I fumigated the eagle with musk and the Afrits flocked to me from all sides, saying,"At thy service; what wilt thou have us do?" |
8658 | Then I gathered together the money I had gotten, and Jaafer said to me,"Hast thou any beans left?" |
8658 | Then I sat down, and presently up came Aboul Muzeffer''s slaves and said to me,"Art thou Abou Mohammed the Lazy?" |
8658 | Then came the backgammon- player, and she said to him,''If I beat thee, what wilt thou give me?'' |
8658 | Then he betook himself to the princess''s palace, where he found her women standing,[ awaiting him] and said to them,''What is come to my daughter?'' |
8658 | Then he called for sundry trays of gold and emptied them before Abou Yousuf, to whom he said,''Hast thou wherein to put this?'' |
8658 | Then he looked at me and said,"Dost thou know what she did?" |
8658 | Then he sat down, but she abode standing and I said to her,"O my lady, why dost thou not sit?" |
8658 | Then he told her what had passed between himself and his grandees on the subject and added,''But what sayst thou?'' |
8658 | Then he told him all that had befallen Rose- in- bud; and Uns el Wujoud said,''Where is she, O King of the age?'' |
8658 | Then he went in to his wife, who, seeing him clad in the Vizier''s habit, exclaimed,''What is this?'' |
8658 | Then said El Mamoun to her,"What is thy name, O damsel?" |
8658 | Then said I to him,"Hast thou any need?" |
8658 | Then said Zumurrud to Jewan,''What is thy name and condition and why comest thou hither?'' |
8658 | Then said he to her,''How shall we do with this?'' |
8658 | Then said he to the first,''What sawest thou?'' |
8658 | Then said he,''What five things did God create, before He made man?'' |
8658 | Then said he,''What four incompatible things are based upon other four incompatibles?'' |
8658 | Then said she to him,''O Ali, hast thou been to the bath?'' |
8658 | Then said she to him,''What is thy name and condition and what brought thee hither?'' |
8658 | Then said she,"O Werdan, is this how thou requitest me my favours?" |
8658 | Then said she,"What is the evidence of the superiority of the male to the female?" |
8658 | Then said she,''Shall I tear my clothes?'' |
8658 | Then said the Khalif,''Where is the philosopher?'' |
8658 | Then said the King to the Amirs,''Do ye all accept of him?'' |
8658 | Then said the slave to him,''Doth it rest with me to divorce her, or with thee or the Commander of the Faithful?'' |
8658 | Then said they,''Knowst thou who we are?'' |
8658 | Then shall God( to whom belong might and majesty) say,''How so?'' |
8658 | Then she fell down in a swoon, and when she came to herself, she said to me,"What moved thee to do thus? |
8658 | Then she said to her nurse,''What is the name of yonder handsome young man among the troops?'' |
8658 | Then she sat weeping sore for her child, and as she wept, there came up two men, who said to her,''What makes thee weep?'' |
8658 | Then she turned to El Mamoun and said to him,"O Commander of the Faithful, wilt thou give me leave to change the words?" |
8658 | Then she turned to the old woman and said to her,''O my aunt, wilt thou not come without the cave, that I may louse thee in the sun?'' |
8658 | Then the Khalif summoned players on instruments of music and said to her,''Dost thou know aught of music?'' |
8658 | Then the King called his grandees and said to them,''How many kings have sought my daughter in marriage?'' |
8658 | Then the broker brought her another bidder and said to her,''Wilt thou be sold to this man?'' |
8658 | Then the damsel took the lute and touching it, knew that it was other than as she had left it and said,"Who hath touched my lute?" |
8658 | Then the man abode awhile at home, idle, till she said to him,''How long wilt thou sit at home, idle? |
8658 | Then they carried me before El Mamoun, who said to me,"Who art thou?" |
8658 | Then they cast him into prison, where he abode three days, after which the chief of the police sent for him and said to him,''Whence art thou?'' |
8658 | Then they opened the garden- gate and cried out, and the folk came to them from all sides, saying,''What ails you?'' |
8658 | They did his bidding, and when he returned, he sent for me and carrying me into his closet, said to me,"How doth the owner of this ruby?" |
8658 | They guarantee the folk from all calamity, And with the risen sun they''re torn apart forthright?'' |
8658 | Thinkst thou that there hath befallen thee what never befell other than thou?'' |
8658 | Thou hast entered my house and sold my handkerchief and spent my money: so, with whom art thou wroth, O pimp?" |
8658 | Thou, that for loving censurest the votaries of love, Canst thou assain a heart diseased or heal a cankered brain? |
8658 | Wak''st anights, or do thine eyelids close upon thy sleeping eyes? |
8658 | We exchanged salutations and he said to me,"Art thou Abou Hassan ez Ziyadi?" |
8658 | We represented to him that thou wouldst spend this money in paying thy creditors and said,''Whence shall he provide for his subsistence?'' |
8658 | Weeping, I question of the house and ruins,"Where is he Who was the source of benefits and bounties ever new?" |
8658 | What ails thee to bemoan the house thus?" |
8658 | What boots the archer''s skill, if, when the foe draw near, His bowstring snap and leave him helpless in the fight? |
8658 | What comeliness is there in thy grossness and what pleasantness or courtesy in thy coarse nature? |
8658 | What deemest thou of the matter?'' |
8658 | What have time and fortune done with the master of this place? |
8658 | What hinders thee from this?" |
8658 | What is thy name and occupation, and what brings thee hither?'' |
8658 | What is thy name and why comest thou hither?'' |
8658 | What makes thee with aversion turn from me? |
8658 | What mislikest thou of this?" |
8658 | What protects lovers from spies and censors like the blackness of the shadows? |
8658 | What say ye?'' |
8658 | What was his tribe, His time and what the place where he was stricken dead? |
8658 | When Aboul Muzeffer saw this, he took compassion upon the plucked ape and said to his master,"Wilt thou sell me yonder ape?" |
8658 | When I came to the house, I knocked at the door, whereupon a slave- girl came out and opened to me, saying,"Who art thou?" |
8658 | When I heard this, I marvelled and said to them,"Had he aught with him?" |
8658 | When I returned to Baghdad and went in to the Khalif El Mutawekkil, he saw the trace of tears on my face and said to me,"What is this?" |
8658 | When I was certified that it was indeed he, I accosted him, saying,"Art thou not Abdulmesih er Rahib? |
8658 | When Sabour saw this, he said,''O sage, what is the virtue of this figure?'' |
8658 | When Shamikh read the letter and saw the name of Uns el Wujoud, he burst into tears and said to the Vizier,''And where is Uns el Wujoud? |
8658 | When he came to himself, he said to me,"O Ibn Mensour, did she indeed write this letter with her hand and touch it with her fingers?" |
8658 | When he heard the call to prayer, he said to me,"Thou knowest the condition?" |
8658 | When he saw me, he said,"Out on thee, O Isaac, where hast thou been all this while?" |
8658 | When he was gone, Shirin said to the King,''Thou hast done ill.''''Wherefore?'' |
8658 | When her husband saw her, he wept and said,''Whence hadst thou that?'' |
8658 | When shall I find an occasion like this to view the different parts of Bassora? |
8658 | When she came in to her and she saw her plight, she rose and receiving her kindly, wept and said,''What hath befallen thee?'' |
8658 | When she saw him, she laughed and said,''Art thou the astronomer, the mathematician, the scribe?'' |
8658 | When she saw me, she knew me and accosted me with the[ obligatory] salutation, saying,"O my lord, who brought thee hither?" |
8658 | When the King heard this, he thought to kill him and said,''How camest thou to be careless of my daughter and let this demon come at her?'' |
8658 | When the prince heard this, he accosted him in Persian, saying,''How long wilt thou keep up this weeping and wailing? |
8658 | When the prince saw him, he said to the princess,''Is this thy father?'' |
8658 | When the princess saw this, she said to him,''O fellow, what didst thou tell me of the prince, that he sent thee to me?'' |
8658 | When the rose of his cheek stood blooming alone, I was not consoled; So how should I now find solace, that basil has sprung thereby? |
8658 | When they had made an end of eating, they turned to him and said,''What countryman art thou?'' |
8658 | When, for love of her, my vitals are consumed and I''ve forsworn Slumber, sleep for wake exchanging, ah, how can I patient be? |
8658 | Whence shall the little ones eat? |
8658 | Whence then, O Salih, shall I get the other nine hundred thousand?'' |
8658 | Where is the loved one''s eye, to see how I''m become Even as a blasted tree, stripped bare and like to die? |
8658 | Where is the seat of the understanding?'' |
8658 | Where is thy wit?" |
8658 | Whereupon she threw the lute from her hand, in anger, and cried,"Since when do you use to bring ill- mannered fools into your assemblies?" |
8658 | Whereupon,''Wilt thou gainsay me?'' |
8658 | Which of them dost thou mean?'' |
8658 | Whither have kindliness and love between us taken flight? |
8658 | Who built it and who abideth in it?'' |
8658 | Who is he that intercedeth with Him but by His leave? |
8658 | Who then shall deliver thee out of my hand?'' |
8658 | Whom then dost thou love?" |
8658 | Whose song is that?" |
8658 | Why''mongst the visitors wast thou then not to see? |
8658 | Why, then, do censors blame me for loving one who''s all A mole? |
8658 | Will none my murderess ensue and wreak me on her head? |
8658 | Wilt thou not follow in its track, that so thou mayst salute The sepulchre of one who''s dead, committed to the pit? |
8658 | Wilt thou sell me the ape for that sum?" |
8658 | [ FN#343][ Quoth God]"What is that in thy right hand, O Moses?" |
8658 | and all who knew him wept for him, saying,''Yonder is such an one: what hath befallen him?'' |
8658 | dost thou not see how they run wild in each valley and say that they do not? |
8658 | quoth he,''and who hath wronged thee?'' |
8658 | whereupon one came forward and said to Taweddud,''What is Time?'' |
5668 | ''As we went along, one of those that had charge of us demanded of me who I was? 5668 Abdallah,"( so was the old man named) said she to him,"tell me, I beseech thee, does that beautiful and charming slave belong to thee? |
5668 | Agreeable Maimoune,replied Danhasch,"may I presume to ask who this prince you speak of is?" |
5668 | Ah, why didst thou act thus, leave me in such affliction, and plunge thyself into such distress, which, indeed, thy conduct hath almost deserved? |
5668 | Alas,replied the princess,"how is it possible that I should execute such an act? |
5668 | Alas,thought I,"this misfortune and affront are unsufferable; how shall I dare to return to Moussol? |
5668 | Almost two- and- twenty years,replied Mobarec;"but how can you convince me that you are his son?" |
5668 | Am I awake, or do I sleep? |
5668 | Am not I unhappy to be born to dove, without hope of enjoying the object of my passion? 5668 Amgiad,"cried he,"what shall we do now? |
5668 | And does this magnificent pavilion also belong to you? |
5668 | And for what,cried the lady, feigning astonishment,"would they have used you so cruelly? |
5668 | And pray what have you brought? |
5668 | And to whom, think you, belongs this slave? |
5668 | And what did Imama to Ateca? |
5668 | And what is that? |
5668 | And what may that reason be, sir,replied Ali Baba,"if I may be so bold as to ask you?" |
5668 | And what more is there? |
5668 | And what stratagem is it you would employ? |
5668 | And what,added she, addressing herself to her treasurer,"did I order you to give her?" |
5668 | And where is he now? |
5668 | And why, fool,said the man of the house,"do not you answer at first, when people ask you who is there? |
5668 | Are all my sons,demanded he,"in the tower?" |
5668 | Are you olive- merchants? |
5668 | Art thou from Cairo? |
5668 | Art thou the destroyer of the monster? |
5668 | Buddir ad Deen,said I to the merchant,"what is the price you must have for this stuff that belongs to me?" |
5668 | But how earnest thou here? |
5668 | But is what you say true? |
5668 | But sir,said he,"will it not be more convenient for you to go home?" |
5668 | But tell me,replied he,"can you shoot with a bow?" |
5668 | But they who will attack you are not to be seen,replied the dervish;"how will you defend yourself against invisible persons?" |
5668 | But wherein have I offended you? |
5668 | But, Sir,said I,"may I presume to ask your majesty, if strangers be obliged to observe this law?" |
5668 | But, my lord,said he,"suppose I should be so fortunate as to meet with such a maid as you require, how shall I know that I have found her?" |
5668 | But,answered the caliph,"do you know one thing? |
5668 | But,resumed he,"how came you into my dominions, and from whence came you last?" |
5668 | But,said the genie,"if I grant you the time you ask, I doubt you will never return?" |
5668 | By no means,said Mazin;"canst thou point me out the way to it without making me forfeit my integrity? |
5668 | By what adventure,said she, fetching a deep sigh,"are you come hither? |
5668 | Can you play upon it? |
5668 | Canst thou admit us to thy lodging,rejoined the sultan,"that we may see her?" |
5668 | Canst thou doubt it? |
5668 | Captain,said I,"was the merchant''s name, to whom those bales belonged, Sinbad?" |
5668 | Child,said she,"to whom are we obliged for this great plenty and liberality? |
5668 | Children,said he to them,"are you all here? |
5668 | Come, bring the ragout; I fancy you will like that as well as you did the lamb: Well, how do you relish it? |
5668 | Commander of the true believers,replied the grand vizier,"if that is your intention, I wish to God she may play ill.""Why so?" |
5668 | Cursed genie,replied Maimoune,"what hurt canst thou do me? |
5668 | Dear cousin,I cried,"what is the meaning of this?" |
5668 | Dear sister,said they to her,"what has happened since we left you? |
5668 | Devout adorers of fire,said he to them,"this is a happy day for us; where is Gazban? |
5668 | Did not you sit down when you came hither? |
5668 | Do not lie now,said he,"but tell me truly who I am?" |
5668 | Do you come to affront and contradict me,said the prince in a rage,"and to tell me to my face, that what I have told you is a dream?" |
5668 | Do you really mean,said she,"that he is descended from the kings of Persia?" |
5668 | Do you see that mountain? |
5668 | Do you take heaven to be witness to this promise? |
5668 | Ever since I have known this young man,said I inwardly,"he has always appeared very polite; is it possible he can do this out of contempt? |
5668 | Father,replied the sultan,"what occasion is there that I should learn a mean occupation, when I have the wealth of a kingdom at my command?" |
5668 | Father,said she,"will you not oblige me so far as to make me a present of this young man? |
5668 | Friend Ali Khaujeh,said he,"when you brought your jar to me did I touch it? |
5668 | From whence come you? |
5668 | From whence? |
5668 | From whom,demanded the king,"have you the suggestion which you dare pronounce? |
5668 | Genie,said he,"will not you keep the oath you just now made? |
5668 | Gentlemen,said he,"I am much troubled for that young man and lady; can you give me any tidings of them?" |
5668 | Good man,replied the servant,"whence do you come that you ask me such a question? |
5668 | Good people,replied the magistrate,"for what should I assassinate your master, whom I do not know and who has done me no harm? |
5668 | Good woman,said he,"do you not perceive I have bantered you all this while? |
5668 | Great queen,he replied, with tears in his eyes,"does your majesty ask what my name was formerly, or what it is now?" |
5668 | Hagi Hassan,said he,"here is a slave whom I mean to sell; what will they give for her?" |
5668 | Hath not a prophet come unto you of your own nation? 5668 Have you forgotten already what we agreed on? |
5668 | He your husband,replied he:"can you retain those thoughts so long? |
5668 | Heaven protect us,said the cauzee,"how can men of our gravity dance? |
5668 | Heavens,exclaimed the merchant,"how could I kill your son? |
5668 | Ho, brother Abou Hassan,said he,"is it you? |
5668 | Honest man,said the vizier,"who art thou?" |
5668 | How am I,said he,"to pass this sea, and enter the islands?" |
5668 | How can we,answered Zeyn,"when we have no boat?" |
5668 | How can you do that,replied the sultan,"when the other evening you could not prevent your guest escaping, though you had him by the nose?" |
5668 | How comes it,rejoined the sovereign,"that you have not visited the sultan? |
5668 | How could you, said he,"resolve to bring me your own daughter?" |
5668 | How did they bear their punishment? |
5668 | How did you manage,said he,"to avoid being taken by the watch?" |
5668 | How know you,asked the jeweller,"that I have another house?" |
5668 | How like you this bread,said the Barmecide;"do not you find it very good?" |
5668 | How little reason had I,said he,"to think that none was so unfortunate as myself? |
5668 | How long is it since you left my father''s court? |
5668 | How many of these pieces,added he,"have you? |
5668 | How should the sultan hear us? |
5668 | How so? |
5668 | How so? |
5668 | How, brother? |
5668 | How, madam,he demanded,"what then am I to believe? |
5668 | How, sir,replied the princess, without giving him time to go on,"do you ask me if any one lay with me last night? |
5668 | How,said Buddir ad Deen,"must I be rifled; must I be imprisoned in a chest, and at last impaled, and all for not putting pepper in a cream- tart? |
5668 | How,said my brother,"what have you to say against me? |
5668 | How,thought I,"shall I get rid of this cursed barber? |
5668 | How? |
5668 | I am a genie,said he, speaking to me,"son of the daughter of Eblis, prince of genies: is not this your hatchet, and are not these your cords?" |
5668 | I beseech you, madam,replied the fair slave,"what prejudice can this action of Noor ad Deen''s do to you or him?" |
5668 | I own I am the man,replied Buddir ad Deen,"but pray what crime is that?" |
5668 | I sent for you,resumed the sultan,"to inform you that it is my intention to provide a proper marriage for you: what do you think of my design?" |
5668 | I will call another barber, sir,replied he, with a coolness that put me out of all patience;"what reason have you to be angry with me? |
5668 | I wish it may be so,replied the sultan;"but upon what ground do you build an expectation, the gratification of which appears to me so improbable?" |
5668 | If Ganem alone be guilty,thought he to himself,"why should the mother and the daughter, who are innocent, be punished? |
5668 | If I do not know him,said the princess,"would you have me lie on purpose to ruin him?" |
5668 | If it be so,answered the cauzee,"look into that jar, and tell me how long it is since those olives were put into it?" |
5668 | In what can I serve you? |
5668 | Inform me,replied the sultan,"of whom am I the son?" |
5668 | Inform me,said Mazin,"what is the name of this country?" |
5668 | Inform me,said he,"for God''s sake, where I am, and what you would have?" |
5668 | Is Schemselnihar then dead? |
5668 | Is it bashfulness,said she,"that keeps you silent? |
5668 | Is it possible that Scheich Ibrahim makes a custom of leaving it thus all night? 5668 Is it possible that he does not perceive it?" |
5668 | Is it possible? |
5668 | Is it so? |
5668 | Is it thus,asked the physician,"that you reward me for curing you?" |
5668 | Is it true,demanded he,"that you are willing to sell it for fifty sherifs?" |
5668 | Is it true,demanded the Barmecide,"that you are fasting till now? |
5668 | Is not this she,said he,"that the sultan my father would have had me marry? |
5668 | Is that your reward for the service I have rendered you? |
5668 | Is the question at present,replied Zobeide,"if your garden is more valuable than my palace? |
5668 | Is there any thing, my charming lady, wanting to render the pleasure of the evening more complete? |
5668 | Is this garden your own? |
5668 | It is true he is our sovereign,exclaimed the youngest sister,"but how can he know whether we are starving or in affluence?" |
5668 | It is true,said I to her,"we live but poorly; but what have the rich which we have not? |
5668 | It is wine then you mean? |
5668 | Jaaffier,said he to the grand vizier,"what excuse have you for the door''s being open at this unseasonable hour?" |
5668 | Knowest thou,said the king, when he saw him,"why I sent for thee?" |
5668 | Knowst thou not that lake? |
5668 | Light of my eyes,said the husband,"didst thou meet with any thing amusing to- day in thy visit to the bath? |
5668 | Look,said the genie, shewing her Buddir ad Deen Houssun,"did you ever see a youth more beautiful?" |
5668 | Madam,demanded the caliph,"where is the bundle of hair?" |
5668 | Madam,said he,"how could you live with such wicked people, as I have so justly revenged myself upon?" |
5668 | Madam,said she,"may I presume to ask you the occasion of your concern; and what accident has happened in the bath, to make you leave it so soon?" |
5668 | May not I have so much time,said he,"as to take some money and jewels along with me?" |
5668 | May one ask,said I,"by what mischance you lost your right hand?" |
5668 | Mesrour,said he, to the eunuch,"what do you think of the princess''s discourse? |
5668 | Miserable debauchee,cried he,"wouldst thou have me believe thou hast any thing else left to make money of but thy slave?" |
5668 | Mother,replied he,"how do you know the sultan has been guilty of a breach of promise?" |
5668 | Mother,said he"for the love of God be pleased to tell me who is my father?" |
5668 | Mother,said he,"have I an uncle?" |
5668 | My abused daughter,said he,"can you give me no farther light in this miraculous affair?" |
5668 | My brave boys,said the vizier,"which of you was the cauzee when you played together last night?" |
5668 | My daughter,said he to the princess,"where are the musicians whom I hear? |
5668 | My dear friend,replied Abou Neeut,"why should we travel? |
5668 | My dear husband, what have you done? |
5668 | My dear little one,said he,"what hast thou in thy bosom?" |
5668 | My dear lord,cried she,"do not I deceive myself; is it certain that I hear you, and that you speak to me?" |
5668 | My good lady,said he,"I was looking for your son, Ganem, is he here?" |
5668 | My good mother,replied the princess Perie- zadeh,"what are those? |
5668 | My good mother,said the princess,"what bird is a roe, and where may one get an egg?" |
5668 | My lord,replied the slave,"I swear I know of no such lady; and how should she come in without my knowledge, since I lay at the door?" |
5668 | My lord,said the Jew,"then you sell me for a thousand sequins the lading of the first of your ships that shall arrive in port?" |
5668 | My lovely black,resumed the queen,"what do you mean by the root?" |
5668 | My son,said she to him,"would you go into Egypt on the faith of an illusive dream?" |
5668 | My son,said the sage,"why shouldst thou do so? |
5668 | No indeed,said the wife,"I have not been there; that was too far off, and if I had gone, do you think I should have found any? |
5668 | No, by Allah, most liberal host,replied the other;"but who art thou?" |
5668 | No,said the younger"I will not consent to that; are we not brethren, and equal in title and dignity? |
5668 | On what account? |
5668 | On what account? |
5668 | Potent monarch, to whom I am so much indebted,replied the king,"you think then that you are near your capital?" |
5668 | Pray, Sister,said the beautiful portress,"come in, what do you stay for? |
5668 | Princes,cried he,"am I not deceived? |
5668 | Princess,cried I,"what means all this?" |
5668 | Scheich Ibrahim,said Noor ad Deen, in great surprise,"did you not tell us that this was your garden?" |
5668 | Silent man,said he to him,"I understand that you know wonderful stories, will you tell me some of them?" |
5668 | Silent man,said the sultan,"why do you laugh?" |
5668 | Sir,exclaimed one of the domestics,"will you listen to a robber, who enters people''s houses to plunder and murder them? |
5668 | Sir,said Codadad,"give me leave to ask how you could know the adventure of the castle? |
5668 | Sir,said he,"why would your majesty take my life? |
5668 | Sir,said the barber,"pray what do you mean? |
5668 | Sir,said the old man, stopping him,"may I presume to ask from what part of the world you come?" |
5668 | Sire,cried his friends, the moment he joined them,"who has insulted you? |
5668 | Sirrah,said Amgiad, with a fierce tone, and angry look,"where have you been? |
5668 | Sister,said prince Bahman,"what is become of all your mirth and gaiety? |
5668 | Softly, sir,said he, very calmly, without being moved by my anger:"are you not afraid of a relapse? |
5668 | Son,said she,"I beg of you, if it be not disagreeable, to tell me what reason you have for your great aversion to marriage? |
5668 | Tell me how I can reward thee? |
5668 | Tell me,said the princess,"what is become of the young man that has passed the night with me, and whom I love with all my soul?" |
5668 | That is strange,said the fisherman,"are you resolved to reward good with evil? |
5668 | That is true,replied I;"but in the name of Allah, from whence dost thou come?" |
5668 | That sovereign,said Mobarec,"was formerly my master; but, my lord, I never knew of any children he had: what is your age?" |
5668 | The lady is in the right,answered Scheich Ibrahim;"but what can you do with your fish, unless it were dressed? |
5668 | The sorceress,said some,"has got a new subject to exercise her wickedness upon; will heaven never deliver the world from her tyranny?" |
5668 | This is the history of myself and this hind: is it not one of the most wonderful and surprising? |
5668 | Those admirable characters, are they not written by the hands of a man? |
5668 | Those negroes,replied they,"eat men, and by what miracle did you escape their cruelty?" |
5668 | Traitor,said he, to the eunuch as soon as he had perused it through,"is this the fidelity thou owest thy master and thy king?" |
5668 | True,said the old man of Hijjem,"yet if Providence puts affluence and distinction in our way, should we refuse it?" |
5668 | Unhappy woman,said the sultan,"art thou worthy that I should answer thee?" |
5668 | Upon what dost thou travel? |
5668 | Very well,replied the fisherman,"shall I speak to you more civilly, and call you the owl of good luck?" |
5668 | Vizier,replied the sultan,"why will you have it to be enchantment? |
5668 | Vizier,said the king immediately,"look yonder; what is the meaning of those horsemen?" |
5668 | Was it not you,replied they,"that made the cream- tart you sold to the eunuch?" |
5668 | Was it not you,said they,"that sold this eunuch the cream- tart?" |
5668 | Well daughter,said he,"are you in a better humour than yesterday?" |
5668 | Well, Alla ad Deen,replied the magician,"what business do you follow? |
5668 | Well, I suppose,said the caliph,"you wish to have a stop put to this disorder?" |
5668 | Well, brother,said she, with great impatience,"what news do you bring me of my husband? |
5668 | Well, giggler,said the princess,"will you tell me what you laugh at?" |
5668 | Well, mother,said he,"may I entertain any hopes, or must I die with despair?" |
5668 | Well, my son,said she, wiping her tears,"how do you do, and how do you find yourself? |
5668 | Well, my son,said the Hijjemmee,"art thou now convinced of my skill, and my sincerity in offering to promote thy fortunes?" |
5668 | Well, prince Ahmed,said she,"will you pledge your faith to me, as I do mine to you?" |
5668 | Well, sir,said she,"are you now convinced of the truth of what I told you?" |
5668 | Well, then, sorry slave,said Zobeide to Mesrour, in passion,"what have you to say to all this? |
5668 | Well, vizier,said he aloud,"who do you think it can be that has sent me so extraordinary a present, and neither of us know? |
5668 | Well,continued the sultan,"what sayst thou to such a present? |
5668 | Well,cried Shumse ad Deen,"after all this, will you continue to deny that you entered the pastry- cook''s house, and ate there?" |
5668 | Well,said Haroon al Rusheed, seeing him come into his closet,"have you executed my orders?" |
5668 | Well,said the emperor,"have you spoken to your sister? |
5668 | Well,said the enchantress,"to pacify you, I am ready to execute your commands; would you have me restore him?" |
5668 | Well,said the king,"in what condition did you find my son?" |
5668 | Well,said the sultan,"have you seen Alla ad Deen''s palace?" |
5668 | Were you born blind of the right eye,continued she? |
5668 | What are your professions? |
5668 | What assurance do you require? |
5668 | What can I do more fortunate for myself, or with greater pleasure? 5668 What can be the meaning of this mark?" |
5668 | What can that be? |
5668 | What can that blemish be? |
5668 | What could you sew up a dead body for? 5668 What do I hear?" |
5668 | What do you here, my dear brothers? |
5668 | What do you mean, Sinbad? |
5668 | What do you mean? |
5668 | What do you mean? |
5668 | What do you say? |
5668 | What do you wait for? |
5668 | What do you want, my son? |
5668 | What dost thou mean to ask him? |
5668 | What fable do you tell me? |
5668 | What good,said he,"will my death do you or your employers? |
5668 | What had the vizier done,demands the Grecian king,"to deserve punishment?" |
5668 | What harm could your master do to me,replied the cauzee,"to oblige me to abuse him at that rate? |
5668 | What hast thou got in these trunks? |
5668 | What is it,demanded the king,"that makes it so valuable?" |
5668 | What is it,demanded the prince,"that could give my father so much uneasiness?" |
5668 | What is that bit of lead worth,said he,"a farthing? |
5668 | What is that, good mother? |
5668 | What is that? |
5668 | What is that? |
5668 | What is the matter with you, son? |
5668 | What is the meaning of this,said Ganem''s mother;"do we carry the plague about us? |
5668 | What is the meaning of this? |
5668 | What is the reason I must be gone so soon? |
5668 | What liquor would you have? |
5668 | What mean you, sir,said some that were nearest to him,"thus to expose a life of such promising expectations to certain death? |
5668 | What misfortune befell the ass? |
5668 | What more pressing business,said prince Perviz,"can we have than to be informed of what concerns us so much? |
5668 | What motive can hinder you? |
5668 | What novelty is this? |
5668 | What riotous doings are here? |
5668 | What shall I do? |
5668 | What then is become of her,demanded the caliph,"if she is not dead?" |
5668 | What time do you require then? |
5668 | What urgent affair,demanded Noor ad Deen,"obliges you to be going so soon?" |
5668 | What was the cause of your flight? |
5668 | What will I do? |
5668 | What will become of me? |
5668 | What will you do with me then? |
5668 | What would you do if you were? |
5668 | What would you have me do with it? |
5668 | What wouldst thou have me to do with him,answered the citizen,"but roast and eat him?" |
5668 | What wouldst thou have? |
5668 | What, Abou Hassan,said he, continuing to laugh aloud,"hast thou conspired against my life, to kill me a second time with laughing? |
5668 | What, son,exclaimed Fatima;"have you then more reasons after those you have already alleged? |
5668 | What,cried she, much louder than before,"are the dead raised? |
5668 | What,demanded she"hinders you from revealing the secret?" |
5668 | What,said he,"can be the matter with the king of Tartary that he is so melancholy? |
5668 | What,said the caliph,"are you not of the family? |
5668 | Where are you going? |
5668 | Where are you, my brave lads,cried he,"old companions of my watchings, inroads, and labour? |
5668 | Where art thou going? |
5668 | Where is she? |
5668 | Where is the fair Persian, then? |
5668 | Where,says she,"can he get so many large gold trays, and such precious stones to fill them? |
5668 | Wherefore? |
5668 | Whither are you going? |
5668 | Who is this difficult man,said she,"who eats no salt with his meat? |
5668 | Why are you so altered, so dejected, and so different from yourself? 5668 Why askest thou?" |
5668 | Why do you not open the gate then,demanded the lady;"what do you wait for?" |
5668 | Why do you sigh and weep so bitterly? |
5668 | Why not, madam,answered Zeyn,"do you imagine all dreams are chimerical? |
5668 | Why should I not give so much? |
5668 | Why you,answered his mother very mildly;"are not you Abou Hassan my son? |
5668 | Why, are we not at Grand Cairo? |
5668 | Why, madam? |
5668 | Why, you wretch,exclaimed the vizier"was it not you that made the cream- tart you sent me?" |
5668 | Why,said my brother,"can not a man carry a knife about him without being a robber? |
5668 | Why,said the lady in surprise,"do you use me so? |
5668 | Woe be to thee,replied the genie,"hast thou the presumption to venture to marry my mistress?" |
5668 | Woe to thee, rash boy,exclaimed Hyjauje;"who is he that can prevent my executing thee instantly?" |
5668 | Yes,replied he,"I am the man; and who says any thing against it? |
5668 | You are in the right,answered the prince;"but how shall we explore where they are?" |
5668 | You are skilled then in physiognomy? |
5668 | You believe him then to be dead? |
5668 | You have travelled,said I,"and what have you gained by it? |
5668 | You jest, sir,said he;"if your friends have invited you to a feast, what should prevent you from allowing me to go with you? |
5668 | You were about,added he,"to put to death an innocent person; for how can he be guilty of the death of a man who was dead before he touched him? |
5668 | Your stubbornness,resumed the vizier"will rouse my anger; why will you run headlong to your ruin? |
5668 | ''Do you believe,''said she,''that the hopes of seeing me would at all contribute to rescue him from his danger?'' |
5668 | ''Has he actually no other disorder than what is occasioned by his love of me?'' |
5668 | ''How?'' |
5668 | ''Is your account true?'' |
5668 | ''My good mother,''demanded she''what is the matter with you, why are you so cast down?'' |
5668 | ''Why would you require of me,''said she, with a profound sigh,''to renew my grief? |
5668 | Abou Hassan continued to beat her, at every stroke asking her if he was the commander of the faithful? |
5668 | Abou Neeut having retired with him into a closet, said,"Knowest them me not, my old friend?" |
5668 | About the middle of the night, the miller came to my brother, and said,"Neighbour, are you asleep? |
5668 | Accordingly, he set out again for his kingdom, and as soon as he arrived there, the queen asked him, whether he returned well pleased? |
5668 | After concerting among themselves, one of them coming up, said,"My lad, dost thou mean to sell this she- goat?" |
5668 | After his arrival, he heard the ass say to the ox"Comrade, tell me, I pray you, what you intend to do to- morrow, when the labourer brings you meat?" |
5668 | After several compliments had passed on both sides, Boubekir said to the prince,"Sir, do you design to stay long at Bagdad?" |
5668 | After supper the men asked him, if he knew whom he spoke to? |
5668 | After the experience you have had of the little satisfaction there is in wedlock, is it possible you dare venture a second time? |
5668 | After the proof we have had of his riches, can we think it strange, that he should raise a palace in so short a time? |
5668 | Ali Khaujeh,"said he, addressing himself to the boy who acted that part,"have you brought the jar?" |
5668 | Ali, who had arrived some time before Ahmed, asked Houssain how long he had been there? |
5668 | Alla ad Deen got up trembling, and with tears in his eyes, said to the magician,"What have I done, uncle, to be treated in this severe manner?" |
5668 | Am I come to the court of Harran to be the occasion of giving the sultan so much anxiety?" |
5668 | Am I not handsome and agreeable?" |
5668 | Amgiad drank and rose:"Where are you going?" |
5668 | Amgiad then demanded how far it was to the isle of Ebene? |
5668 | And all this, for what crime? |
5668 | And can it be supposed she will let it go unrevenged? |
5668 | And do you not agree that there is no wickedness equal to that of women?" |
5668 | And has she consented to the pleasure I expect of seeing you?" |
5668 | And how can I, when I am taken up with your dear image, express to that prince the joy which he always observed in my eyes whenever he came to see me? |
5668 | And if I could, can I undertake it without exposing so much gold and treasure to him who hath already enriched himself out of it? |
5668 | And if you had any that were worthy of the least attention of so great a monarch, what proportion could they bear to the favour you would ask? |
5668 | And ought I not to bestow her on one who values her at so great price?" |
5668 | And what have I done to deserve one so wretched?" |
5668 | And who your nephew? |
5668 | And will you not own that you have lost your wager?" |
5668 | And, in short, why do not you frighten them by bellowing aloud? |
5668 | Another voice asked,"What need had the princess of the dervise''s prayers?" |
5668 | Are not the proofs I have repeatedly given you of my affection sufficient?" |
5668 | Are these the actions of Moosulmauns, of persons who make a profession of probity, justice, and good works?" |
5668 | Are they under ground, or invisible in the air? |
5668 | Are ye not, however, fearful lest the sultan should hear you on his rounds, and punish you for an infringement of the laws?" |
5668 | Are you all here alive? |
5668 | Are you allied by blood or love?" |
5668 | Are you fallen into the hands of our enemies? |
5668 | Are you not well? |
5668 | Are you of any trade?" |
5668 | Are you resolved to let me die, without affording me the comfort of hearing again from your own lips that you love me? |
5668 | Are you worthy of it? |
5668 | As for her beauty, I can depend on you; but what assurance can you give me in relation to her virtue?" |
5668 | As he expected what had happened at Ali Baba''s might make a great noise, he asked his host what news there was in the city? |
5668 | As my brother went out of the house, two blind men, his companions, were going by, knew him by his voice, and asked him what was the matter? |
5668 | As soon as I saw the young man, I intreated him to alight, and asked him if he would not take his money? |
5668 | As soon as he was come into the market, a citizen stops him, and asked how much he would have for his bird? |
5668 | As soon as my wife heard me give this order, she exclaimed,"What are you about, husband? |
5668 | As soon as she saw the surgeon, she asked him eagerly, what news he had to tell her of Codadad? |
5668 | As soon as the prince saw him, he asked earnestly what news he had to communicate? |
5668 | As soon as they were sat down,"well,"said Abdallah to the king,"and how have you passed your time with that abominable sorceress?" |
5668 | At last he got up, opened the lattice, and putting out his head, cried"Abou Hassan, Abou Hassan, have you a mind to kill me with laughing?" |
5668 | At length Abou Neeut exclaimed,"Dost thou not recollect me, my brother?" |
5668 | At length he broke out in these words:"Beautiful Fetnah, may I give credit to what you tell me? |
5668 | At that instant his mother arrived, and catching hold of the vizier''s arm, cried,"Sir, what are you doing?" |
5668 | At that summons the genie appeared, and said,"What wouldst thou have? |
5668 | At the end of the year he took him aside, and said to him;"My son, have you thoroughly considered what I proposed to you last year about marrying? |
5668 | At these words all the children cried out,"Agib, what do you say? |
5668 | At this answer, the furious genie told her,"You are a false woman, and speak not the truth; how came that axe and those cords there?" |
5668 | At this instant the sultan, who had been listening, entered hastily, and exclaimed,"Wherefore utter ye these affronting speeches?" |
5668 | Besides, I want to know what is become of my vest, my turban, and the bag of sequins I had at Cairo?" |
5668 | Besides, can you think of leaving me, and adding to that sorrow with which I am already oppressed? |
5668 | Besides, what is become of Schemselnihar and the prince of Persia? |
5668 | Blood is no less powerful than love in great minds; but why should we despair of seeing him again? |
5668 | Buddir ad Deen, astonished at the sight, said with a pitiful tone,"Pray, good people, why do you serve me so? |
5668 | But before he had time to answer, the master of the house exclaimed,"Is it thus you honour my table? |
5668 | But do you think it an easy matter absolutely to refuse the emperor what he seems so earnestly to desire? |
5668 | But how can you speak to me if you are dumb? |
5668 | But how could she get into this tower without my consent? |
5668 | But if I should make you a present of a purse of two hundred pieces of gold, would not you make a good use of it? |
5668 | But is that your case? |
5668 | But may I, without being guilty of rudeness, presume to inquire by what adventure you know me? |
5668 | But now I am speaking of the palace, pray how do you like it? |
5668 | But suppose I had discovered him, is it not easily seen that his conduct must have proceeded from absolute power? |
5668 | But suppose me so vile a wretch, could I do it without being guilty of perjury, after the oath I have taken to my late father never to sell you? |
5668 | But tell me what sort of men were your brothers, were they like you?" |
5668 | But the cursed barber followed me close, crying,"Stay, sir; why do you run so fast? |
5668 | But then, brother,"said he farther,"if this marriage should happen, would you expect that my son should settle a jointure on your daughter?" |
5668 | But to come to what most particularly concerns me; tell me, I conjure you, how so wicked and perfidious a man treats you?" |
5668 | But what presents have you to make? |
5668 | But whence comest thou, youth? |
5668 | But where shall I seek her? |
5668 | But where will he get so many such slaves as the sultan requires? |
5668 | But whither does this pleasing transport carry me? |
5668 | But who,"added he, looking upon the sultan my husband,"is that man? |
5668 | But whose son am I?" |
5668 | But why do I talk of that? |
5668 | But will he not have some one to lament? |
5668 | But, madam,"continued he,"let us drop this discourse; and since I have eaten of your cake, would you do me the favour to taste mine?" |
5668 | By thy art and skill canst thou tell me what is become of him? |
5668 | Can I believe these are your brothers who have treated you so unmercifully, those brothers whom thy valour had saved? |
5668 | Can I relish his kind words and caresses? |
5668 | Can I see the caliph familiar with the objets of my love, and not die of grief? |
5668 | Can my happiness be greater in this world, than to have you on one side of me, and my glass on the other?" |
5668 | Can not the heads you see on all the gates of this city deter you from such an undertaking? |
5668 | Can not these inspire you with joy and pleasure, and make you forget the fancies of an imagination disturbed by what can have been only a dream?" |
5668 | Can the wife of a sovereign be capable of such infamous conduct? |
5668 | Can there happen a greater misfortune to him or me?" |
5668 | Can you not resolve us concerning the two black bitches and the lady that fainted away, who appears to have been so basely abused?" |
5668 | Canst thou flatter thyself so far as to believe that the trifling adventures of a young debauchee are more interesting than those of my jester? |
5668 | Codadad, my dear Codadad,"cried she,"is it you whom I behold just departing this life? |
5668 | Could I guess that a sandman should come by that very day, my wife have no money, and would make such an exchange? |
5668 | Could I, after the civility I shewed thee, expect such inhuman and barbarous usage? |
5668 | Could you conceive a thought of aspiring in marriage to a princess, the daughter of so powerful a monarch as myself? |
5668 | Did I not just now set you at liberty, and have you already forgotten my services?" |
5668 | Did I not tell you truly, that you would expose your life by your obstinate refusal to let me go with you? |
5668 | Did ever a son so well brought up as you dare to strike his mother? |
5668 | Did not crook- back lie with you tonight?" |
5668 | Did not he throw himself into danger, and could he have come off so well without my assistance? |
5668 | Did not their wisdom, their modesty, their obedience, their submission to thy will in all things, their virtue, all plead in their behalf? |
5668 | Did not you rise from me but now? |
5668 | Did you ever tell me that such a sum was in the jar? |
5668 | Did you really appear before my eyes, or was it only an illusion?" |
5668 | Do not we breathe the same air, enjoy the same light and the same warmth of the sun? |
5668 | Do not women sometimes lose their senses; for you have heard and seen all as well as myself?" |
5668 | Do not you and I know what is just? |
5668 | Do not you hear the trumpets of congratulation, and concerts of the finest music? |
5668 | Do not you remember that you came to fetch the speaking bird, the singing tree, and the yellow water? |
5668 | Do not you remember the promise you made to pay your duty to him occasionally? |
5668 | Do not you think with me, that it would be complete if a roe''s egg were hung up in the midst of the dome?" |
5668 | Do they think it will be so easy to surprise, seize, and secure their persons? |
5668 | Do you assure me that you will cure my leprosy without potion, or applying any external medicine?" |
5668 | Do you doubt the effect of my promise? |
5668 | Do you know what she wants?" |
5668 | Do you know,"continued he,"that I am master of the secret to make you white, instead of being black as you are?" |
5668 | Do you mourn for your country, your friends or your relations? |
5668 | Do you not know it? |
5668 | Do you not know that''walls have ears?''" |
5668 | Do you not remember the evening we spent together at your house this day month, where you did me the honour to treat me very generously?" |
5668 | Do you not think the first person I should speak to would take me for a mad woman, and chastise me as I should deserve? |
5668 | Do you remember you ever saw me before?" |
5668 | Do you see this charming beauty? |
5668 | Do you think I would suffer such a polluted wretch to poison me? |
5668 | Do you think him worthy of the princess Buddir al Buddoor, my daughter?" |
5668 | Do you think you have merited the honour you would have me ask for you? |
5668 | Does not all that you behold point out to you that it is the palace of a Barmecide?" |
5668 | Does not thy barbarity surpass my vengeance? |
5668 | Does not your majesty find it more surprising than that of the hunch- back buffoon? |
5668 | Dost thou think I am as perfidious as thyself, and capable of breaking the solemn oath I have made? |
5668 | Give me leave to embrace you?" |
5668 | God confound thee, Satan? |
5668 | H. By what means? |
5668 | H. Dost thou guard the Koran? |
5668 | H. Hast thou read and understood it? |
5668 | H. Knowest thou thy God? |
5668 | H. Thou hast spoken justly, young man; but inform me what God hath daily and nightly commanded us as obligatory to do? |
5668 | H. Truly said; but what hath mostly dignified and enlightened Arabia? |
5668 | H. What dost thou learn from it? |
5668 | H. What to observe in each year? |
5668 | H. What to perform in the course of life? |
5668 | H. What tribe of Arabs is most famous for benevolence, and celebrated for liberality? |
5668 | H. Wherefore? |
5668 | H. Wherefore? |
5668 | H. Which of the tribes have been most disgraceful to Arabia, and most oppressive to its inhabitants? |
5668 | H. Who were the most skilful in horsemanship in all Arabia, the most valiant, and of best conduct in war? |
5668 | H. Why so? |
5668 | H. Why think you so? |
5668 | H. With whom? |
5668 | Had I not better have tarried in Bagdad, and awaited my death?" |
5668 | Has Ebn Thaher, who was all my comfort, in whom I put all my confidence, left me? |
5668 | Has any body given you reason to be so melancholy? |
5668 | Has any thing disquieted you?" |
5668 | Has he any cause to complain of his reception? |
5668 | Has he any reason to complain of and abuse me? |
5668 | Has not the genie a very faithful mistress? |
5668 | Has the sultan been made acquainted with our poverty, and had compassion on us?" |
5668 | Hast thou closed those eyes that evinced so much love, and were all my delight? |
5668 | Hast thou not already suffered sufficiently?" |
5668 | Hast thou, indeed, young man,"said the sultan,"been at the Black Island?" |
5668 | Have I given you such slender proofs of my love, that you should think me capable of so base an action? |
5668 | Have I not always preferred your will to my own? |
5668 | Have I unthinkingly given you any occasion of uneasiness? |
5668 | Have any of my brothers, repenting, owned it to you?" |
5668 | Have not you been an eye- witness of what it has procured us? |
5668 | Have you any other commands?" |
5668 | Have you renounced all those whims and fancies which the devil had put into your head?" |
5668 | Have you seen her confidant? |
5668 | Having finished the above prayer, Mazin turning humbly towards his accursed betrayer, said in a supplicating tone,"What hast thou done, my father? |
5668 | Having made his obeisance, the sultan returning his salute, said,"Father, what hast thou brought with thee?" |
5668 | He addressed himself to the two former, and asked why the merchant who sat with them looked so melancholy? |
5668 | He advanced towards the pan, and touching one of the fish with his staff, said with a terrible voice,"Fish, are you in your duty?" |
5668 | He asked Morgiana, who opened the door, and had let all things stand as they were, that he might see them, the reason of it? |
5668 | He asked me who I was, and by what adventure I had come into his dominions? |
5668 | He asked the princess where Codadad''s widow had taken up her lodging? |
5668 | He asked them where his mother was? |
5668 | He asked why they had disturbed his rest? |
5668 | He caused the slave, who was not far off, to be brought immediately, and when he came,"Rascal,"said he,"where hadst thou this apple?" |
5668 | He clapped his hands before his eyes, and lowering his head, said to himself,"What means all this? |
5668 | He commanded her to rise, and having made her sit down, asked whether she had heard any news of Ganem? |
5668 | He concealed his agitation, and said,"To whom does this necklace belong?" |
5668 | He could not check his anger:"Indiscreet stranger,"said he to Codadad,"why did you let my sons go without bearing them company? |
5668 | He has perhaps cured you only in appearance, and not radically; who knows but the medicine he has given you, may in time have pernicious effects?" |
5668 | He made the customary obeisance to the governor, who returned his salute, and said,"Who art thou, boy? |
5668 | He muttered and growled, saying,"For what, my lord, hast thou summoned me here? |
5668 | He returned my salutation, and continued,"Is it possible you do not know me?" |
5668 | He sent for the fisherman, and when he came, said to him,"Fisherman, the fish you have brought us, make me very uneasy; where did you catch them?" |
5668 | He soon heard a voice, however, which said,"Do you know what honest man this is, to whom we have done this piece of service?" |
5668 | He stepped towards the bed, and said to her,"Is it long since I left you?" |
5668 | He then demanded of him who he was, and whence he had come? |
5668 | He then ordered the genealogist into his presence, and said,"Dost thou think thou canst prove my descent?" |
5668 | He was going to give him another blow, but the Barmecide holding up his hand to ward it off, cried,"Are you mad?" |
5668 | He went forthwith to his sister- in- law''s tent, and said to the eunuch,"Wretch, have you the impudence to abuse the trust I repose in you?" |
5668 | Her sister- in- law asked her, whether she would have a great or a small one? |
5668 | How came she here, and by what conveyance, without my consent? |
5668 | How came that vile genie to address himself to me, and not to you, to whom he had appeared before in the cave?" |
5668 | How came the lady hither who lay with me to- night, and who brought her?" |
5668 | How came this thought into your head, to surprise Zobeide and me thus, when we least thought of such a trick?" |
5668 | How came you to know her?" |
5668 | How can I appear abroad again without moustaches?" |
5668 | How can I be happy or merry, while they are perhaps involved in misery?" |
5668 | How can I doubt, since you still torment me with silence, after having for a whole year in vain supplicated you to speak? |
5668 | How can I have contributed to it?'' |
5668 | How can I invite the sultan here?" |
5668 | How can I open my mouth to make the proposal to the sultan? |
5668 | How can the creature approach the perfection of the Almighty? |
5668 | How do we know but that this unknown person is some villain, who has committed a robbery in his own country, and comes hither to enjoy himself? |
5668 | How do you propose to effect your purpose?" |
5668 | How have you distinguished yourself? |
5668 | How is it possible that you, being this morning at Damascus, could be last night at Cairo?" |
5668 | How it has happened that each of you has but one eye? |
5668 | How shall I dare appear before my princess without her talisman?" |
5668 | How then could I dare to complain? |
5668 | How will you now carry on your correspondence with Schemselnihar? |
5668 | However, the sultan knew her; and said to the labourer,"Wilt thou dispose of this damsel?" |
5668 | Hump- back, who was enraged at Buddir ad Deen, suspecting him to be his rival, gave him a cross look, and said,"And thou, what dost thou wait for? |
5668 | Hypocritical hag, do not you remember?" |
5668 | I also knew the captain; but being persuaded that he believed me to be drowned, I went, and asked him whose bales these were? |
5668 | I am a poet, I am an architect; and what is it I am not? |
5668 | I am doomed to death by thy arrival here; but what, my lord, was thy object in coming?" |
5668 | I answered,''Perhaps it may, and if you will permit me, I will try the remedy.''? |
5668 | I asked him what reason he had thus to despair? |
5668 | I asked them, what brought them there? |
5668 | I asked,"wherein have I deserved your displeasure?" |
5668 | I believe such an act of violence was never heard of before; but against whom could I complain? |
5668 | I called to him, and said,"Good slave, pr''ythee tell me where thou hadst this apple?" |
5668 | I desire you only to tell me what he has done with the lamp, and where he has put it?" |
5668 | I had best return to Bussorah; what should I do here any longer? |
5668 | I had just embraced him and bade him adieu; but as I turned about from him, I said,"What will you do with that little box of ointment? |
5668 | I have only sent for you to know who you are, and to ask for what reason one of you, after severely whipping the two black bitches, wept with them? |
5668 | I immediately jumped on the counter, and the baker throwing the money down before me, said,"See, and tell me which of these pieces is bad?" |
5668 | I know the place well where these things are to be found: but what makes you ask me this question?" |
5668 | I returned her salute, when she sat down, and said,"Sir, have you any choice Indian cloths?" |
5668 | I said to him,"Pardon, Sir, the liberty I take in asking you what reason you have for not using your right hand? |
5668 | I said to myself,"What can mean this tent, which has a grand appearance, in so solitary a plain?" |
5668 | I sat up, and asked her who she was? |
5668 | I separated it presently from the others, and setting my paw upon it, looked in the woman''s face, as much as to say,"Is it not so?" |
5668 | I suffered myself to be bound as well as the rest, without speaking one word: for what would it have availed to have spoken, or made any resistance? |
5668 | I then asked them what they did in such a desert place? |
5668 | I therefore answered the genie,"How should I know her, when I never saw her till now?" |
5668 | I think you told me you left him behind in the city of the idolaters; can you tell me what is his employment there?" |
5668 | I told him I had the head- ache, which I hoped would have satisfied him, but he took a candle, and saw my cheek was hurt:"How comes this wound?" |
5668 | I took the oil- pot, went directly to the jar which stood nearest to me; and when I came to it, heard a voice within, saying,''Is it time?'' |
5668 | I was enraged, and began to abuse her, saying,"Wherefore hast thou put upon me such a stratagem?" |
5668 | I was lost in astonishment, and said to myself,"Do I dream, or am I awake?" |
5668 | I was overcome with astonishment; but said,"Of what use is all this wealth in a depopulated city? |
5668 | I wish to Heaven she had never addressed herself to me? |
5668 | If I had been capable of such unworthy apathy, what would the court and city have thought of my love, or what your majesty? |
5668 | If he be alive, where he is? |
5668 | If he is, how came he in, or who could have introduced him?" |
5668 | If thy own breast can not keep thy counsel, how canst thou expect the breast of another to be more faithful?''" |
5668 | If you have done nothing to merit so high a distinction, nor are worthy of it, with what face shall I ask it? |
5668 | If you speak of the Nile, where is there a more wonderful river? |
5668 | Immediately on their knocking the youngest sister called out,"Who is at the door?" |
5668 | In short, how can we suppose that I should lay hold of a man so small, armed as he describes? |
5668 | In the middle he found a flaw, at which he was astonished, and exclaimed to the sharper,"By what means couldst thou discover the blemish?" |
5668 | In what province, country, or part of the world, shall I find that and my dear princess, whom the sultan expects from me? |
5668 | Instead of answering, the peasant demanded of the citizen what he would do with him in case he should buy him? |
5668 | Is he in my house? |
5668 | Is it from insensibility, or contempt? |
5668 | Is it just, tell me, to impute a misfortune to persons who have no ways contributed towards it? |
5668 | Is it me you call by that name?" |
5668 | Is it not just to kill him that has killed another?" |
5668 | Is it not reasonable that, after all this I should enjoy a quiet and pleasant life?" |
5668 | Is it not sufficient justification that he is accused of a design against your life? |
5668 | Is it not worthy of the princess my daughter? |
5668 | Is it possible that a man could yesterday be at Bussorah, the same night at Cairo, and this morning at Damascus? |
5668 | Is it possible that ye have not put them to death? |
5668 | Is it possible they can be insensible of the danger of their correspondence? |
5668 | Is it possible they should be capable of taking a man''s life for not putting pepper in a cream- tart? |
5668 | Is it possible you should have forgotten that you have pledged your faith to me, or have you ceased to love one who is so passionately fond of you? |
5668 | Is it possible, my son, that your quarrel should rise so high about an imaginary marriage? |
5668 | Is it possible, sir, that you took me for one of those impudent beggars who push into people''s houses to ask alms? |
5668 | Is it thus you discharge the trust I have reposed in you? |
5668 | Is it you whom I behold? |
5668 | Is not Grand Cairo the largest, the most populous, and the richest city in the world? |
5668 | Is not the king of Persia, who loves and adores you, capable of comforting you, and making you amends for every loss?" |
5668 | Is not your majesty the commander of the faithful, monarch of the world from east to west, and vicar on earth to the prophet sent of God? |
5668 | Is the day of judgment come? |
5668 | Is there anything you wish for? |
5668 | King Beder and the old man left off discoursing, to look at the old woman, whom the king asked, what cause she had to be so much afflicted? |
5668 | King Beder satisfied him in a few words; and the old man farther asked him if he had met anybody on the road? |
5668 | Kummir al Zummaun entered, and demanded of the gardener why he was so cautious? |
5668 | Look round you, prince; can there be a more delightful spot? |
5668 | Madam,"added he, addressing himself to the Princess of Deryabar,"do you also forgive me for having concealed my birth from you? |
5668 | Maimoune now cried out to Danhasch,"Ah, cursed genie, art thou not now convinced how much thy princess is inferior to my prince? |
5668 | May I believe that the caliph really resigns you to Abou Ayoub''s son?" |
5668 | May I flatter myself that it may be in my power to restore you to the sultan your father, who is inconsolable for the loss of you? |
5668 | May I flatter myself that yours have the same impatience to see me? |
5668 | May not he imagine that he alone deserved her; and that your majesty, by leaving the match to be decided by chance, has done him injustice? |
5668 | Mazin now arose, unloosed his wife''s hair, and pulling off the cap, appeared before her, when she exclaimed,"From whence didst thou come?" |
5668 | Must I spend my life in sloth, when all my brothers have the happiness to be fighting by his side?" |
5668 | Must fortune needs add new misfortunes to just complaints?" |
5668 | Must he go again to that subterraneous abode, the entrance into which is stopped up, and gather them off the trees? |
5668 | Must so ardent a passion as mine be disturbed with so potent a rival? |
5668 | Must the unjust and barbarous usage we have received render us odious to our fellow- citizens? |
5668 | My brother made no answer, and knocked a second time: the master of the house asked again and again,"Who is there?" |
5668 | My curiosity was raised; but I said within myself,"I am his guest, why should I intrude upon him by painful questions?" |
5668 | Never was grief equal to Kummir all Zummaun''s, when he recovered from his fit:"Barbarous father,"cried he,"what hast thou done? |
5668 | Noor ad Deen hearing him first, told Scheich Ibrahim of it, who asked who was there? |
5668 | Noor ad Deen was loth to resort to this expedient; but what could he do in the necessitous circumstances to which he was reduced? |
5668 | On his appearance he said,"Thou canst trace the descent of man?" |
5668 | On his arrival there, Kummir al Zummaun inquired if he had done as commanded? |
5668 | On his coming to the mouth of the cave, the sultan addressed him, saying,"Whence comest thou, where art thou going, and what dost thou carry?" |
5668 | On his recovery he turned to the vizier, and said,"Is it possible thou canst have spoken the truth?" |
5668 | On their appearance, he said,"What have you done in execution of the charge I gave you?" |
5668 | One day he knocked thus, and the master of the house, who was alone, cried,"Who is there?" |
5668 | One day, as I sat taking the cool air at my gate, a very handsome, well- dressed lady came to me, and asked if I did not sell stuffs? |
5668 | One of them said to the other,"Is not the queen wrong, not to love so amiable a prince?" |
5668 | Or do you come on purpose to tell me you no longer love me?" |
5668 | Or is it want of confidence in me? |
5668 | Or rather, did she not promise to see you, and restore those bitches to their natural shape?" |
5668 | Ought you to treat your mother after this manner? |
5668 | Perhaps it grieves him to be at such a distance from his dominions, or from the queen his wife? |
5668 | Pray tell me what I am to think; whether my marriage with you is an illusion, or whether my absence from you is only a dream?" |
5668 | Pray tell us your history, for it must be extraordinary; how did you venture yourself into this river, and whence did you come?" |
5668 | Remember, too, that he would eat no salt with you; and what would you have more to persuade you of his wicked design? |
5668 | S. Does it fly from me, that I should guard it? |
5668 | See what has happened to you, by your own fault; and if I had not resolutely followed, to see whither you went, what would have become of you? |
5668 | Seeing a handsome young man, she lifted up her veil, asked him with a smiling air, and bewitching look, whither he was going? |
5668 | Seeing he did not enter, she asked,"Why do not you come into your house?" |
5668 | Shall I go down the hills and valleys which I have passed overt''Shall I wander in darkness? |
5668 | Shall I send for him to the presence?" |
5668 | Shall we be soon in the dominions of the prince my husband?" |
5668 | She addressed me, saying,"Young man, have you in your warehouse any female ornaments?" |
5668 | She asked who he was, and what he cried for? |
5668 | She drew near them, and having overheard them speaking pretty loud, said,"Gentlemen, what is the subject of your conversation? |
5668 | She exclaimed,"What can you want at such a late hour, and where did you lodge last night?" |
5668 | She is not afraid to expose her life for me, and would you have me regard mine? |
5668 | She looked through a lattice and saw them, seemed frightened, and cried out,"What shall we do? |
5668 | She replied,"Dost thou really love me?" |
5668 | She replied,"Is it thy wish to know who slew the monster, and to reward the courageous hero?" |
5668 | She returned a third time; and at that interview, when we were both warm with wine, she spoke thus:"My dear love, what do you think of me? |
5668 | She said to him,"What disgust can I have given to you to ask me this permission? |
5668 | She shook him several times, and finding he did not awake, exclaimed,"What is come to thee? |
5668 | She took it into her hand, and examined it on all sides; after which she exclaimed,"Didst thou really purchase this on my account?" |
5668 | She was in as great amazement at what her son told her, as at the appearance of the genie; and said to him,"But, son, what have we to do with genii? |
5668 | Some days after, not knowing who I was, he asked me if I understood any trade? |
5668 | Some moments after, the fairy said to prince Ahmed,"Prince, there comes my brother; do you see him?" |
5668 | Some said,"Where is that fool going? |
5668 | Speak, and tell me frankly, wherein I can serve you?" |
5668 | Such being the case, what a fool am I to kill myself with grief? |
5668 | Supposing you could resolve to give him up for me, and that you would follow me, ought I to consent? |
5668 | Tell me then, wandering spirit, whence thou comest, what thou hast seen, and what thou hast done this night?" |
5668 | Tell me, I beseech you, how I shall reclaim a disposition so rebellious to my will?" |
5668 | Tell me, I beseech you, where was your wit or discretion, when you formed to yourself such a chimera as you have proposed to me? |
5668 | Tell me, I conjure you,"added he,"what cruel lady is this, who forces people to love her, without giving them time to reflect?" |
5668 | Tell us truly who you are?" |
5668 | The Hindoo, with great impudence, replied,"That she was his wife, and what had any one to do with his quarrel with her?" |
5668 | The apothecary inquired who was ill at her master''s? |
5668 | The butcher now began to be somewhat alarmed, asking me who I was, and whence I came? |
5668 | The caliph asked the criminals which of them it was that so cruelly murdered the lady, and threw her into the Tigris? |
5668 | The caliph fell a laughing at his astonishment; and calling to him,"Scheich Ibrahim,"said he,"What dost thou want? |
5668 | The caliph fell a laughing; by which the vizier recognising him,"Commander of the true believers,"said he,"is it possible it can be you? |
5668 | The caliph was not displeased with Fetnah for the freedom of these words;"But may I,"said he,"rely on the assurance you give me of Ganem''s virtue?" |
5668 | The caliph, moved with compassion, said to the fisherman,"Hast thou the courage to go back and cast thy net once more? |
5668 | The caliph, who heard this, came to him and the other calenders, and asked them what might be the meaning of all this? |
5668 | The captain in his turn demanded of the prince, whether he was not a debtor of the king of Ebene? |
5668 | The cauzee laughed, and turning to the koord, said,"Friend, thou hast heard what has past; what further canst thou say?" |
5668 | The cock answered the dog''s reproof thus:"What, has our master so little sense? |
5668 | The cock standing up on tiptoe, answered fiercely:"And why not to- day as well as other days?" |
5668 | The commander of the brigade demanded of the prince, Schemselnihar, and the jeweller, who they were, and whence they had come so late? |
5668 | The eunuch perceiving he followed them, was extremely surprised:"You impertinent fellow,"said he, with an angry tone,"what do you want?" |
5668 | The eunuch redoubling his pace, with difficulty got up to him,"Wither so fast?" |
5668 | The farmer''s daughter then came to us:"My good maid,"said I,"can you restore my son to his former shape?" |
5668 | The feigned cauzee, turning about to the merchant, then asked him why he did not return the money which Ali Khaujeh demanded of him? |
5668 | The first question he asked on his arrival was,"Where was the king his nephew?" |
5668 | The first question the vizier asked was, If Noor ad Deen was living? |
5668 | The first who entered the room got between him and his mother, and taking the switch out of his hand, said to him,"What are you doing, Abou Hassan? |
5668 | The fisherman replied,"My dear mistress, how shall I bear the least absence from you?" |
5668 | The fisherman then said to him,"I wish to know if you were actually in this vessel: Dare you swear it by the name of the great God?" |
5668 | The jeweller alarmed, asked her what was the matter? |
5668 | The jeweller was much surprised at this resolution of the confidant, and said,"Certainly you do not consider that the caliph will never suffer this?" |
5668 | The judge did not give ear to all that was said; but asked the cavalier if he suspected any body else beside me? |
5668 | The judge perceiving that he looked upon him with his eyes open, was much surprised, and said to him,"Rogue, what is the meaning of this miracle?" |
5668 | The king having asked what it was? |
5668 | The lady immediately took up the veil, and delivered it to him, asking him whether he could read? |
5668 | The lady loves you, and has a mind to make you happy; and will you, for a nasty whisker, renounce the most delicious favours that man can obtain?" |
5668 | The lady, on the contrary, transported at the sight, exclaimed,"How, my lord, did you fear there was nothing ready? |
5668 | The lady, who was pleased to see his confusion, said, once more,"My lord, what do you wait for?" |
5668 | The matron guessing that he was in fear of her, said to him,"What is thy name, what are thy wants? |
5668 | The mother was alarmed when she saw the grand vizier would take her son with him, and asked, upon what account the caliph wanted him? |
5668 | The neighbours collected, and asked what assistance he wanted? |
5668 | The nobles of Cairo were surprised, and whispered to one another,"Who is this stranger, to whom Mobarec pays so much respect?" |
5668 | The officer going to the peasant, demanded of him how much he would have for the bird? |
5668 | The people who gathered pepper came to meet me as soon as they saw me, and asked me in Arabic who I was, and whence I came? |
5668 | The pretended cauzee then directing his discourse to the feigned Ali Khaujeh, asked him what he had to lay to that merchant''s charge? |
5668 | The pretended princess appeared that very moment, and perceiving she had missed her prey, exclaimed,"Fear nothing, prince: Who are you? |
5668 | The prince no sooner heard these words than he rubbed his hand over the ring, when a good genie appearing, said,"Prince, what are thy commands?" |
5668 | The prince, vexed to the heart at having taken so much pains to no purpose, thought of returning;"But,"said he to himself,"which way shall I return? |
5668 | The princess demanded how much the fifty jars might be worth in the isle of Ebene? |
5668 | The pupil, in astonishment, exclaimed,"My lord, this abode is a heap of ruins, how can I invite the sultan here, it would only disgrace us?" |
5668 | The queen answered,"Have you two names then?" |
5668 | The queen, trembling with alarm, said,"What dost thou ask of me?" |
5668 | The sage exclaimed,"What have such as we to do, my son, with the daughters of sovereigns or of others? |
5668 | The sage observing his distress was afflicted at it, and at length said to the youth,"Will one look at the princess satisfy thy wishes?" |
5668 | The sultan addressed himself to the Hindoo, demanded who he was, and wherefore he ill treated the lady? |
5668 | The sultan asked the fisherman, how far the lake might be from the palace? |
5668 | The sultan at these words exclaimed in agony,"Have ye slain them, or do they yet live?" |
5668 | The sultan caused to be brought to him a chessboard, and asked me by a sign if I understood that game, and would play with him? |
5668 | The sultan did so; when I said,"If I present two, will you give me your daughter?" |
5668 | The sultan exclaimed,"Why answer ye not, and wherefore are ye silent?" |
5668 | The sultan growing impatient, demanded of him again,"Where is your palace, and what is become of my daughter?" |
5668 | The sultan perceiving his constraint, addressed him with great mildness,"Do you know, son, for what reason I have sent for you?" |
5668 | The sultan replied,"What reason have you for such a supposition?" |
5668 | The sultan replied,"You have indeed judged truly, but inform me how happens it, that you have with you no male protectors?" |
5668 | The sultan smiled at the barber''s freedom, and replied,"Why do you ask?" |
5668 | The sultan, after a long pause, again said to the two attendants,"Have you really put to death my innocent children with their guilty mother?" |
5668 | The sultan, being much surprised, sent immediately for the fisherman, and said to him,"Friend, can not you bring me four more such fish?" |
5668 | The sultan, eager to shew his gratitude to the gallant youth, said to the princess,"Shouldst thou know thy deliverer wert thou to see him again?" |
5668 | The sultan, upon hearing this, said to the vizier,"We must enter this house;"and knocked at the door, when a person cried out,"Who is there?" |
5668 | The surgeon paid her the same respect, and then asked a calender, who happened to stand by him,"Whether that lady was one of the sultan''s wives?" |
5668 | The tyrant laughed, and continued his questions as follows: H. Wert thou ever in love? |
5668 | The unfortunate youth lifting up his head, exclaimed,"What news dost thou bring?" |
5668 | The vizier having stayed some time, and finding none of the merchants outbid him,"What do you stay for?" |
5668 | The wicked old woman came running at the noise, and my brother seizing her, said to her,"Treacherous wretch, do not you know me?" |
5668 | The young man having recovered, looked all around, and not seeing what he sought, exclaimed,"What is become of you, charming Fetnah? |
5668 | The young man turned his eyes towards me, and said,"My good lady, pray let me know who you are, and what has brought you to this desolate city? |
5668 | Then addressing himself to Zobeide,"Well, madam,"said he,"have you yet any thing to say against so certain a truth? |
5668 | Then he said to them,"How will you carry away your goods? |
5668 | Then she will throw herself at my feet, kiss them repeatedly, and say to me,''Sir, is it possible that you can suspect my daughter''s virtue? |
5668 | There, possessed by his despair, he said to himself,"Where shall I seek my palace? |
5668 | Therefore what conveniences have they more than we, that we should envy their happiness? |
5668 | They insolently said to him,"You cursed cauzee, what reason have you to assassinate our master? |
5668 | This made me one day take the liberty to ask the king how it came to pass? |
5668 | Thou oughtest also to remember what another of our books says,''What signifies if one dies the next day after the death of his enemy?''" |
5668 | Thus it happened to the persons above mentioned, but how was it with the affairs of Mazin? |
5668 | Unable, however, to withstand the earnest desire of being satisfied,"Ganem,"said she, with a trembling voice,"is it you I behold?" |
5668 | Upon entering into her presence, Zobeide exclaimed,"Where have ye loitered, and what has been the cause of your unusually long stay at the hummaum?" |
5668 | Upon this I looked at him narrowly, and recognised him:"Ah, brother,"cried I, embracing him,"how could I know you in this condition?" |
5668 | Upon this I replied,"My dear lady, how can I allot for you a proper dowry?" |
5668 | Upon this Mazin exclaimed,"Wherefore, my lord, did you look at the book and then at me so earnestly?" |
5668 | Upon this she frowned angrily upon me, and exclaimed,"What means that wound upon thy cheek?" |
5668 | Upon this the sultan said again to his daughter,"How do you know that this prince has been transformed by enchantments into an ape?" |
5668 | Upon this the young Syed said,"Thou ravest, O Hyjauje; who art thou that an angel should be commissioned for thy sake?" |
5668 | Upon which the sultan exclaimed,"What fault appeared to thee in my mistress?" |
5668 | Upon which, turning to me,"And thou,"said he,"dost thou not know her?" |
5668 | Was it a reason sufficient for him not to cast his eyes on you, because she was somewhat younger? |
5668 | Was it not enough to be afflicted by the death of so dear a father? |
5668 | Was it you that took the gentleman''s purse from him? |
5668 | Was not his father a dog, and the son of a dog, like you? |
5668 | Was there any need of staying a whole month after my return, before you sent me word where you were?" |
5668 | Was there ever finer singing, or better playing upon the lute? |
5668 | We have at present all we want, and what can riches give more?" |
5668 | We have often asked her,"Madam, do you want anything? |
5668 | What a wonderful change is this from evening to morning?" |
5668 | What answer could the jeweller have made in the condition he was in? |
5668 | What are you disputing about?" |
5668 | What can Hassan do with that?" |
5668 | What can I do without you? |
5668 | What can be the reason he does not use his right hand?" |
5668 | What could Cassim''s widow do better than accept of this proposal? |
5668 | What could I say when I saw myself so cruelly delayed? |
5668 | What could hinder me from being a little moved at the pronouncing of so strange a transformation? |
5668 | What crime can he have committed, that a man of his high rank can deserve to be treated thus rigorously?" |
5668 | What crime have I committed?" |
5668 | What cruel hands have put you into this condition? |
5668 | What do you think of this plan?" |
5668 | What evil genius possesses you, to make you talk at this rate? |
5668 | What has he done to obtain from thee a lot so agreeable? |
5668 | What has he done to you?" |
5668 | What have I done to subject myself to the severe law of not being able to join with the only person I love?" |
5668 | What have I done?" |
5668 | What have vultures to do with turbans? |
5668 | What have you been doing, that you came no sooner?" |
5668 | What have you done to claim such a favour, either for your prince or country? |
5668 | What have you done to kill this man?" |
5668 | What impudence is this? |
5668 | What is the matter? |
5668 | What melancholy return have you received for your care and respect? |
5668 | What name do you call it by?" |
5668 | What proportion is there between the punishment and the crime? |
5668 | What relation does he bear to you? |
5668 | What say you, daughter, am I deceived in my conjecture?" |
5668 | What say you, my lads?" |
5668 | What says she to you?" |
5668 | What shall I say to him at his return, when he inquires of me after her?" |
5668 | What water was ever lighter or more delicious? |
5668 | What will it be when you are obliged to part? |
5668 | What will the world say of such sanguinary violence?" |
5668 | What would she say of you and me? |
5668 | What would the world say to hear you rave in this manner? |
5668 | Whatever be the value of a diamond statue, is it worth the satisfaction of having you mine? |
5668 | Whatever misfortune befalls me, I can not forbear asking, why you bedaubed your faces with black? |
5668 | When Bahader and Amgiad were in the court, Bahader demanded of the prince, how the lady came into his house? |
5668 | When I had heard these words, I replied,"How, dear lady, dare I presume, who am not worthy to be your servant, to arrive at such an honour?" |
5668 | When Noor ad Deen came aboard, the first question he asked was, whither the vessel was bound? |
5668 | When Noor ad Deen had ended his story,"And whither are you going now?" |
5668 | When he appeared, the sultan said,"Art thou a judge of horses?" |
5668 | When he beheld them he was struck with awe and dread; but recovering, he said to himself,"Why should I be afraid? |
5668 | When he came to the door, he said,"Go in; you ought to know whereabouts your palace stood: look round and tell me what is become of it?" |
5668 | When he had finished his communication, I said,"But where is the abode of thy beloved and thy successful rival?" |
5668 | When he had reached the palace he found the sultan expecting him; upon which he made his obeisance, and said,"Will my lord honour me by his company?" |
5668 | When he had ruminated thus, he said,"I am acquainted with the properties of the cap, what are those of the drum?" |
5668 | When he saw that the slave hesitated to obey him,"Why do you not strike?" |
5668 | When shall I enlist so gallant a troop again? |
5668 | When she had done speaking, the caliph said to her,"I believe all you have told me; but why was it so long before you let me hear from you? |
5668 | When she had rested a little, she said,"Were you not conversing about your unfortunate sister? |
5668 | When she had taken her seat, she asked him, whether that was his house? |
5668 | When the fisherman heard these words of the genie, he recovered his courage, and said to him,"Thou proud spirit, what is it you say? |
5668 | When the master of the colt appeared before him, the sultan inquired whether it was purchased of another person, or had been bred by himself? |
5668 | When the officers brought him before the magistrate, he asked him where he had the goods which he had carried home the preceding evening? |
5668 | When the sultan had entered the princess''s apartment, he said,"What can have happened which has occasioned you to send for me so suddenly?" |
5668 | When the thieves were gone, the prince said to the jeweller,"What think you of our adventure and condition? |
5668 | When they approached, she arose and went to meet Mesrour, who advanced first; she asked what news he brought? |
5668 | When they both had their cups in their hands, she said to him,"I know not how you express your loves in these parts when drinking together? |
5668 | When they come to fasten you to the stall, why do you not resist? |
5668 | When they had recovered, the first thing Schemselnihar did was to look about: and not seeing Ebn Thaher, she asked, with eagerness, where he was? |
5668 | When they had rested a little, the fisherman perceiving the sultan, said,"Whence comest thou?" |
5668 | When they reached the chamber, the man let go his hand, and sitting down, asked him again what he wanted? |
5668 | When they were gone, Codadad, directing his discourse to the lady, said,"What place, madam, do you desire to go to? |
5668 | When will the time come that I shall enjoy it without fear of a separation? |
5668 | Where am I? |
5668 | Where are they who enjoy quietly the happiness which they hold of her, and whose day is always clear and serene?" |
5668 | Where could such a form as this have been created?" |
5668 | Where does he live? |
5668 | Where has that poor wretch got all this wealth?" |
5668 | Where shall I find this sandman? |
5668 | While she was thus bewailing herself, the grand vizier entered, and asked her if the fish were ready? |
5668 | Whilst I was admiring its beauty, I heard from beneath the voice of a man, who immediately appeared, and asked me who I was? |
5668 | Whilst he was mounting,"I forgot,"said the queen to Abdallah,"to ask you your nephew''s name; pray how is he called?" |
5668 | Whither canst thou fly for refuge against the unjust prince who persecutes thee? |
5668 | Whither do you go, sir? |
5668 | Whither were you bound when you were seized by the black? |
5668 | Who are you? |
5668 | Who can assure me, that I shall be more successful than you have been?" |
5668 | Who could ever have believed, that persons so highly obliged to me, and on whom I have spent my estate, could have used me so ungratefully? |
5668 | Who ever saw it rain any thing but water?" |
5668 | Who is he, that, notwithstanding the regard and respell he had for me, is in a miserable condition? |
5668 | Who is your sister? |
5668 | Who knows but he has brought her himself, and is hidden behind the hangings, to observe me, and make me ashamed of my dissimulation? |
5668 | Who knows whether I shall ever see you again? |
5668 | Who was that who came and spoke with me a little before the caliph entered?" |
5668 | Who was your father? |
5668 | Whom do you seek?" |
5668 | Whom do you think now I ought to believe, you or my treasurer, my women, and myself?" |
5668 | Why art thou not gone as well as the rest? |
5668 | Why did not you request money of me, and I would have lent it you? |
5668 | Why did you leave me? |
5668 | Why did you not take care to wash your hands after eating of that cursed dish?" |
5668 | Why do not you tell me which is dead, the husband or the wife?" |
5668 | Why do you give any body the trouble to come and open the door when they speak to you?" |
5668 | Why does he leave me here so long in obscurity? |
5668 | Why does he not call me to his assistance? |
5668 | Why should I not have been attended by eunuchs, and their chief, and a crowd of beautiful ladies? |
5668 | Why should the grand vizier, and all those emirs and governors of provinces, who prostrated themselves at my feet, forsake me? |
5668 | Why should you now doubt of the truth of what the holy woman told you? |
5668 | Why, who are you, son,"continued she,"that you can have the assurance to think of your sultan''s daughter? |
5668 | Will not the arrival of the caliph put me in mind of your departure? |
5668 | Will not this step be injurious to that friendship?" |
5668 | Will you absolutely take away the life of a poor innocent?" |
5668 | Will you be pleased to allow me the consolation of giving her this last testimony of my affection?" |
5668 | Will you do me the honour to come to my residence? |
5668 | Will you permit me to visit her and look after my warehouse?" |
5668 | Will you stain your hands and your palace with your own blood? |
5668 | Will you still believe that Nouzhatoul- aouadat is alive, and that Abou Hassan is dead? |
5668 | Will you still refuse me that pleasure I expect from your obedience, and suffer me to die without affording me that satisfaction?" |
5668 | Will you vouchsafe to come and be merry with us?" |
5668 | Would it not have been more for his honour and quiet that he had never run such a risk?" |
5668 | Would you have him send you away with the same confusion? |
5668 | You know by what medicine, or rather by what miracle, he cured me of my leprosy: If he had had a design upon my life, why did he save me then? |
5668 | You know the conditions on which these ladies consented to receive us, and which we agreed to observe; what will they say of us if we break them? |
5668 | You would have me then believe all you have told me? |
5668 | Your company alone relieves me; but I conjure you not to dissemble with me: what news do you bring of Schemselnihar? |
5668 | Zeyn was conducted thither, knocked at the gate, which a slave opened, and demanded,"What is it you want, and who are you?" |
5668 | added she,"is this the return you have made for the kind reception I gave you? |
5668 | after the hideous sacrifice you have just consummated, can you see me with so much satisfaction?" |
5668 | and did not you see, as you came along, the place covered with black stones? |
5668 | and do not you believe, that with such a sum you could become soon as rich as the principal of your occupation?" |
5668 | and do not you know that you are at one of the gates of Damascus?" |
5668 | and hast thou long been in possession of him?" |
5668 | and how can I be a sultan without subjects?" |
5668 | and how durst Scheich Ibrahim give them admittance, and partake of the diversion with them? |
5668 | and how you who live in the same neighbourhood should be so little known by me?" |
5668 | and if I may hope ever to see him again?" |
5668 | and is it thus thou hast estranged from me my beloved wife and innocent children?" |
5668 | and that she invented them on purpose to deceive you, who had given her no cause to do so, but received her with so much goodness and civility? |
5668 | and to whom does this palace belong? |
5668 | and why they broke open his door? |
5668 | and why you are alone?" |
5668 | and will my strength bear me out? |
5668 | answered Abou Hassan, raising his voice; but looking at the lady, he said,"Is it me you call the commander of the faithful? |
5668 | answered king Beder,"how can I be tired of so many favours and graces as your majesty perpetually heaps upon me? |
5668 | answered she trembling,"who are you? |
5668 | answered the caliph,"do you not know me? |
5668 | are you not ashamed so to treat yours, who loves you so tenderly?" |
5668 | art thou of this country? |
5668 | asked the lady;"and why do you take the cup with your left hand, rather than your right?" |
5668 | brother, are you one of those who believe me mad? |
5668 | brother,"replied Queen Gulnare,"is not the princess yet married? |
5668 | brother,"said Assad,"we have so little time to live, what need have we to quench our thirst? |
5668 | but can ye reverse the decrees of God?" |
5668 | but to no purpose, no one answered; upon which he came down, opened the door, and asked my brother what he wanted? |
5668 | can you favour me with a dance?" |
5668 | child,"said she,"what are you thinking of? |
5668 | continued he,"how do I know she is alive?" |
5668 | cried Noor ad Deen,"is it possible you can entertain such a thought? |
5668 | cried Zeyn, in astonishment,"where could my father find such rarities?" |
5668 | cried he, calling the ladies of the palace by their names, as he remembered them;"where are you? |
5668 | cried she,"is it you the king my father has designed me for a husband? |
5668 | cried she,"what have I done that you should leave me so soon? |
5668 | cried the mother,"was your lamp then the occasion of that cursed genie addressing himself rather to me than to you? |
5668 | cried the sultan,"is it possible that you are restored to me? |
5668 | cried the vizier''s lady,"can you so calmly ask that question, after my son has been with you alone in your chamber? |
5668 | cried they, laying hold of him,"and dare you say that you are not a robber?" |
5668 | dare you say that the vizier is not my father?" |
5668 | daughter,"said the king,"has any one lain with you last night?" |
5668 | demanded the dog;"what would you have him do?" |
5668 | demanded the genie:"did you not take dates out of your wallet, and as you ate them, did not you throw the shells about in different directions?" |
5668 | did I say, madam? |
5668 | did you not tell me you had forsworn wine? |
5668 | didst thou not promise me enjoyment and pleasure?" |
5668 | do not you think it very extraordinary?" |
5668 | do you think she spoke to you of three things that were not in being? |
5668 | dost thou deserve to live after the execrable crime thou hast committed? |
5668 | exclaimed Ali Baba,"what have you done to ruin me and my family?" |
5668 | exclaimed Buddir ad Deen,"is it a capital crime to make a bad cream- tart?" |
5668 | exclaimed he;"whence came you, and where do those happy parents live who brought into the world so surprising a masterpiece of nature? |
5668 | exclaimed my brother,"why do you beat me?" |
5668 | exclaimed the merchant,"can nothing prevail with you? |
5668 | exclaimed the walee,"dost thou dare to utter falsehoods before me? |
5668 | has that accursed wretch betrayed thee, and torn thee from thy wife?" |
5668 | hast thou at last thrown thy father from the highest pinnacle of happiness into a misfortune that must inevitably involve thee also in his ruin? |
5668 | hast thou destroyed that excess of affection which he bare me? |
5668 | have any of you any more business to do in the city? |
5668 | have we not here affluence and ease, and what more can we enjoy in any part of the world?" |
5668 | have you lost all fear of God and your reason? |
5668 | have you the insolence to talk thus to your father and sultan?" |
5668 | he exclaimed,"whom can we trust in these times? |
5668 | he replied in a passion,"have you lost your senses, daughter, that you make such a dangerous request? |
5668 | how could a buffalo bring forth a colt?" |
5668 | how could you make so ungrateful a return for the service he has done you? |
5668 | how would you have us go?" |
5668 | how you came to be here? |
5668 | in attempting the life of the object which I adore, hast thou not robbed me of mine? |
5668 | insolent,"said he,"darest thou insult me yet? |
5668 | is possible that you are still alive? |
5668 | is that charming prince then dead? |
5668 | ladies, whither do you command me to go in my present condition? |
5668 | madam,"answered Harem, concerned for himself than for Fetnah,"you only take care of me, what will become of you?" |
5668 | madam,"exclaimed he, eagerly interrupting her,"what miracle has restored you to my sight? |
5668 | my brothers,"said he,"what is become of you? |
5668 | my dear friend,"said she,"by your being here at this time of night you must be my husband''s comrade?" |
5668 | my good lord, of what crime can I be guilty towards you, that you should take away my life?" |
5668 | my lord,"replied the young man,"how is it possible but I should grieve, and my eyes be inexhaustible fountains of tears?" |
5668 | my queen,"replied prince Ahmed,"do you say Schaibar is your brother? |
5668 | my son,"cried the African magician with a sigh,"how can I forbear? |
5668 | once so beautiful, what relief can you expect from us? |
5668 | or give him reason to flatter himself a moment with being allied to one of the most powerful monarchs in the world? |
5668 | or has some misfortune befallen you? |
5668 | or have you left any thing behind you?" |
5668 | or shall we flatter ourselves that we may ever see it? |
5668 | prince,"cried he,"do you call so inestimable a present a small token of your gratitude, when you never have been indebted to me? |
5668 | prince,"cried she,"do you think I jest with you? |
5668 | princess, what do I say? |
5668 | replied I;''did not you tell me the other day, that he sat down before your window when you opened it to water your flower- pot? |
5668 | replied Scheich Ibrahim--"Sherbet? |
5668 | replied Scheich Ibrahim;"who are you, and whence came you?" |
5668 | replied Scheich:"what more service can I do you?" |
5668 | replied Schemselnihar,"You, who know the cause of my tears, have you no pity for my unfortunate condition? |
5668 | replied he,"how do you think I should obtain the favour you wish me? |
5668 | replied he,"is that wretch still living? |
5668 | replied he,"you would have me do something against my conscience, or against my honour?" |
5668 | replied the fisherman,"why would you kill me? |
5668 | replied the gardener:"do you imagine I will take these riches as mine? |
5668 | replied the prince;"and what difficulties do you find in so doing?" |
5668 | replied the queen,"why do you reproach me thus?" |
5668 | replied the sultan;"who can have that audacity?" |
5668 | replied the vizier,"could you think me capable of being so extremely afflicted at losing ten thousand pieces of gold? |
5668 | said Ali Baba,"what is it you shew me? |
5668 | said Buddir ad Deen,"what do you mean to do with a stake?" |
5668 | said Codadad:"Whence come these miserable lamentations, which pierce my ears?" |
5668 | said I,"will you have done, and begin to shave me?" |
5668 | said Mobarec:"shall we not there find beautiful maidens?" |
5668 | said he in a passion,"do you appear before me thus? |
5668 | said he to himself,"I am scarcely out of my palace, and but just under the walls of Samarcand, and dare they put such an outrage upon me? |
5668 | said he to himself,"has my fate brought me hither to deprive me of my liberty, which hitherto I have always preserved? |
5668 | said he who spoke first,"do not you know your mother who brought you up, and with whom you have always lived?" |
5668 | said he"and with what design were these cucumbers stuffed thus with pearls, since pearls are not to be eaten?" |
5668 | said he, in a tone of indignation,"have not you been the cause of your wife''s death by your ill treatment of her? |
5668 | said he, rubbing his eyes,"am I asleep or awake?" |
5668 | said he,"I thought the rats and mice ate my butter and tallow; but it is you who come down the chimney to rob me? |
5668 | said he,"Scheich Ibrahim, have I caught you at last? |
5668 | said he,"can you suffer me to die an ignominious and painful death? |
5668 | said he,"do you make a jest of me and laugh in my face, or do you believe I laugh at you when I speak seriously? |
5668 | said he,"is it thus that a Christian dares to assassinate a Mussulmaun?" |
5668 | said he,"must I suffer a death as cruel as it is ignominious, for not putting pepper in a cream- tart?" |
5668 | said he,"unfortunate Buddir ad Deen, what will become of thee? |
5668 | said he;"who placed you thus?" |
5668 | said she,"does my child thus despise the work of my hands? |
5668 | said she,"has Ali Baba gold so plentiful as to measure it? |
5668 | said she,"what is the meaning of this? |
5668 | said she,"what will become of me? |
5668 | said the boy? |
5668 | said the caliph to him:"who are these people that have presumed to take the liberty of diverting themselves in my garden and pavilion? |
5668 | said the father,"is it not enough that I have lost them, but thou also wilt rush into destruction? |
5668 | said the first,"how should he? |
5668 | said the genie to her, pointing at me,"is not this your gallant?" |
5668 | said the genie,"he is the cause of thy being in the condition thou art justly in; and yet darest thou say thou cost not know him?" |
5668 | said the person whom he addressed,"have you never seen or heard of her? |
5668 | said the prince,"do you not awake at these testimonies of love?" |
5668 | said the vizier,"what favour? |
5668 | said they to them;"do you not see that one is a vizier, the other a vizier''s son? |
5668 | said they,"what but the necessity of parting from you could thus afflict us? |
5668 | says the genie,"if you have a mind to be informed, open the vessel: do you think that I can be in an humour to relate stories in so strait a prison? |
5668 | shall I be your partner and you mine?" |
5668 | shall I tear up this eminence by the roots, and hurl it beyond the mountains of Kaaf?" |
5668 | shouldst thou not rather have remained at home, and quietly enjoyed the fruits of thy labour?" |
5668 | sir,"replied Gulnare"could I do less? |
5668 | that thy unworthy uncle and thou repay me for all the kindnesses I have done you? |
5668 | thought he to himself, when he awoke,"how much was I mistaken? |
5668 | was there ever a greater resemblance?" |
5668 | what are they, madam?" |
5668 | what arms can I use to reduce him to submission? |
5668 | what can we do for thee? |
5668 | what did you hear?" |
5668 | what has happened to you?" |
5668 | what hast thou to say, and wherefore hast thou intruded thyself into the company of princes, as if thou wert invited? |
5668 | what he is doing? |
5668 | what will become of poor Nouzhatoul- aouadat?" |
5668 | what would he have? |
5668 | when the old woman entered; to whom she said,"Hast thou brought the young man?" |
5668 | where are you at this time, whither has thy cruel fate led thee? |
5668 | where are you?" |
5668 | where can ye hide yourselves?" |
5668 | where is he going? |
5668 | which has condemned me to lead a life of calamities, if you will not permit me to have a consort, why did you permit me to find one? |
5668 | who art thou, and of whom art thou the son?" |
5668 | who can assure you of that? |
5668 | who is it you call son?" |
5668 | who will say to an unhappy Bulbul, Lodge?" |
5668 | whom dost thou look after?" |
5668 | whose this castle is? |
5668 | why did you not let me perish miserably, rather than afford me your generous relief? |
5668 | why do you not gore them with your horns, and shew that you are angry, by striking your foot against the ground? |
5668 | why dost not thou swallow up that monster so revolting to human nature, or rather why dost not thou swallow up both the lover and his mistress?" |
5668 | why?" |
5668 | wicked Nouzhatoul- aouadat,"cried she,"what have I suffered for your sake? |
5668 | you bring me the news of my son''s death?" |
