Frontispiece
THE PRINCESSES TOOK EACH HER MELON, AND DESCENDED TO THE GARDEN
PERIS, MY GODMOTHERS! CHANGE ME INTO A CYPRESS!
THE PRINCE BOUGHT THE PICTURE.
" SILVER CUP OF MINE!" SAID HE, "BRING FORTH THIRTY KINDS OF FOOD FOR ME TO EAT WITH MY FRIEND THE DERVISH."
SHE CALLED THE LIONS AND ASKED THEM, "WHY DID YOU LET THIS MAN IN?"
THE BIRD SHE BADE FLY HIGH AND SWIFTLY, AND THE KITTEN SHE PLACED ON HER LAB.
SHE FORGOT HIS CHARGE TO HER, AND SHE BENT AND KISSED HIM.
ON THE BANK NEAR BY SAT A YOUNG MAIDEN WEEPING.
OUR HERO MOUNTED WITH HER ON THE FALCON'S BACK, AND DESCENDED FROM THE MOUNTAIN.
IT WAS THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT.
HE HELD THEIR CURLING ENDS IN HIS HANDS AND COVERED THEM WITH PASSIONATE KISSES.
PAYING HIS 40 LIRAS, HE SAW BEHIND THE WINDOW-PANE THE BEAUTY
WITOUT PEER.
