[0:25] Speaker 1: When it was the six hundred and ninety seventh night,
[0:29] Speaker 1: she continued, it, hath reached me o auspicious king, that
[0:33] Speaker 1: when the youth came in to Ibrahim and placed the
[0:36] Speaker 1: gold in his hands, saying, prithee, accept it and compose
[0:40] Speaker 1: me and heir to two couplets, He replied, recite them
[0:43] Speaker 1: to me. Whereupon he recited, by Allah glance of mine,
[0:48] Speaker 1: thou hast oppressed my heart, so quenched the fire that
[0:52] Speaker 1: burns my breast, blames me the world, because in him
[0:56] Speaker 1: I live, yet cannot see him till in shroud I rest. Accordingly,
[1:02] Speaker 1: quoth Ibrahim. I set the verses to an air plaintive
[1:05] Speaker 1: as a dirge, and sang it to him, whereupon he
[1:09] Speaker 1: swooned away, and I thought that he was dead. However,
[1:13] Speaker 1: after a while He came to himself and said, to
[1:16] Speaker 1: me repeat the air. But I conjured him by Allah
[1:20] Speaker 1: to excuse me, saying I fear lest thou die, would
[1:24] Speaker 1: heaven it were so, replied he, and ceased not humbly
[1:28] Speaker 1: to importune me till I had pity on him and
[1:31] Speaker 1: repeated it. Whereupon he cried out with a grievous cry
[1:35] Speaker 1: and fell into a fit worse than before. And I
[1:39] Speaker 1: doubted not but that he was dead. But I sprinkled
[1:42] Speaker 1: rose water on him till he revived and sat up.
[1:45] Speaker 1: I praised Allah for his recovery, and, laying the ducats
[1:48] Speaker 1: before him, said take thy money and depart from me.
[1:52] Speaker 1: Quoth he. I have no need of the money, and
[1:55] Speaker 1: thou shalt have the like of it, if thou wilt
[1:57] Speaker 1: repeat the air. My breath broadened at the mention of
[2:01] Speaker 1: the money, and I said, I will repeat it, but
[2:04] Speaker 1: on three conditions, the first that thou tarry with me
[2:08] Speaker 1: and eat of my victual till thou regains strength. The
[2:12] Speaker 1: second that thou drink wine enough to hearten thy heart,
[2:16] Speaker 1: and the third that thou tell me thy tale. He
[2:19] Speaker 1: agreed to this, and ate and drank, after which he said,
[2:23] Speaker 1: I am of the citizens of al Medina, and I
[2:26] Speaker 1: went forth one day a pleasuring with my friends, and
[2:29] Speaker 1: following the road to a lakik so a company of girls,
[2:33] Speaker 1: and amongst them a damsel as she were a branch
[2:36] Speaker 1: pearled with jew with eyes whose sidelong glances were never
[2:40] Speaker 1: withdrawn till they had stolen away his soul, who looked
[2:43] Speaker 1: on them. The maidens rested in the shade till the
[2:46] Speaker 1: end of the day, when they went away, leaving in
[2:49] Speaker 1: my heart wounds slow to heal. I returned next morning
[2:54] Speaker 1: to send out news of her, but found none who
[2:56] Speaker 1: could tell me of her. So I sought her in
[2:59] Speaker 1: the streets and marks, but could come on no trace
[3:02] Speaker 1: of her. Wherefore I fell ill of grief and told
[3:05] Speaker 1: my case to one of my kinsmen, who said to me,
[3:08] Speaker 1: no harm shall befall thee. The days of spring are
[3:11] Speaker 1: not yet past, and the skies show sign of rain.
[3:14] Speaker 1: Whereupon she will go forth, and I will go out
[3:17] Speaker 1: with thee and do thou thy will. His words comforted
[3:22] Speaker 1: my heart, and I waited till al akik ran with water.
[3:25] Speaker 1: When I went forthwith my friends and kinsmen, and sat
[3:29] Speaker 1: in the very same place where I first saw her.
[3:32] Speaker 1: We had not been seated long before up came the women,
[3:35] Speaker 1: like horses running for a wager, and I whispered to
[3:38] Speaker 1: a girl of my kindred, say to yonder damsel, quoth
[3:43] Speaker 1: this man to thee he did? Well? Who spoke this couplet?
[3:47] Speaker 1: She shot my heart with shaft, then turned on heel,
[3:51] Speaker 1: and flying, dealt fresh wound and scarring veal. So she
[3:56] Speaker 1: went to her and repeated my words, to which she replied, saying,
[4:01] Speaker 1: tell him that he said, well, who answered in this
[4:03] Speaker 1: couplet the like of whatso feelest thou? We feel? Patience?
[4:08] Speaker 1: Perchance swift cure our hearts shall heal? I refrained from
[4:14] Speaker 1: further speech for fear of scandal, and rose to go away.
[4:18] Speaker 1: She rose at my rising, and I followed, and she
[4:21] Speaker 1: looked back at me till she saw I had noted
[4:24] Speaker 1: her abode. Then she began to come to me, and
[4:27] Speaker 1: I to go to her, So that we four gathered
[4:30] Speaker 1: and met often till the case was noised abroad, and
[4:34] Speaker 1: grew notorious, and her sire came to know of it. However,
[4:38] Speaker 1: I ceased not to meet her most assiduously, and complained
[4:42] Speaker 1: of my condition to my father, who assembled our kindred
[4:46] Speaker 1: and repaired to ask her in marriage for me of
[4:49] Speaker 1: her sire, who cried. Had this been proposed to me
[4:52] Speaker 1: before he gave her a bad name by his sassignations,
[4:56] Speaker 1: I would have consented, But now the thing is notorious,
[4:59] Speaker 1: and I loath to verify the saying of the folk.
[5:03] Speaker 1: Then continued Ibrahim. I repeated the heir to him, and
[5:07] Speaker 1: he went away after having acquainted me with his abode,
[5:10] Speaker 1: and we became friends. Now I was devoted to the Bharmacides.
[5:15] Speaker 1: So next time Ja'afar bin Yaya set to give audience,
[5:19] Speaker 1: I attended, as was my wont and sang to him
[5:22] Speaker 1: the young man's verses. They pleased him, and he drank
[5:25] Speaker 1: some cups of wine and said, fly upon thee whose
[5:29] Speaker 1: song is this? So I told him the young man's tale,
[5:33] Speaker 1: and he bade me ride over to him and give
[5:35] Speaker 1: him assurances of the winning of this wish. Accordingly, I
[5:39] Speaker 1: fetched him to Ja'afar, who asked him to repeat his story.
[5:44] Speaker 1: He did so, and Ja'afar said, thou art now under
[5:47] Speaker 1: my protection, trust me to marry thee to her. So
[5:52] Speaker 1: his heart was comforted, and he abode with us. When
[5:55] Speaker 1: the morning morrowed Ja'afar mounted and went in to al Rashid,
[6:00] Speaker 1: to whom he related the story. The Caliph was pleased
[6:03] Speaker 1: with it, and, sending for the young man and myself,
[6:06] Speaker 1: commanded me to repeat the air and drank thereto. Then
[6:11] Speaker 1: he wrote to the governor of al Hijas, bidding him
[6:14] Speaker 1: despatch the girl's father and his household in honorable fashion
[6:18] Speaker 1: to his presence, and spare no expense for their outfit.
[6:22] Speaker 1: So in a little while they came, and the Caliph,
[6:26] Speaker 1: sending for the man, commanded him to marry his daughter
[6:29] Speaker 1: to her lover, after which he gave him an hundred
[6:33] Speaker 1: thousand dinars, and the father went back to his folk.
[6:36] Speaker 1: As for the young man, he abode one of Ja'far's
[6:40] Speaker 1: cup companions till there happened what happened, whereupon he returned
[6:45] Speaker 1: with his household to al Medina. May Almighty Allah have
[6:49] Speaker 1: mercy upon their souls one and all. And they also
[6:53] Speaker 1: tell o auspicious king a tale of al Malik al
[6:57] Speaker 1: Nassir and his Wazir. There was given to Abu Amir
[7:02] Speaker 1: bin Marwan, a boy of the Christians, than whom never
[7:05] Speaker 1: fell eyes on a handsomer al Nasir. The conquering Saul
[7:10] Speaker 1: than saw him and said to Abu Amir, who was
[7:13] Speaker 1: his Wazir, whence come this boy, replied, he from Allah,
[7:19] Speaker 1: whereupon the other with thou terrify at to stars and
[7:23] Speaker 1: make us prisoner with mounds. Abu Amir excused himself to him, and,
[7:28] Speaker 1: preparing a present, sent it to him with the boy,
[7:31] Speaker 1: to whom he said, be thou part of the gift.
[7:34] Speaker 1: Were it not of necessity, my soul had not consented
[7:38] Speaker 1: to give thee away, and he wrote with him these
[7:42] Speaker 1: two couplets, My Lord, this full moon takes in heaven
[7:46] Speaker 1: of thee new birth. Nor can deny we Heaven excelleth
[7:50] Speaker 1: humble earth thee with my soul, I please, and o
[7:54] Speaker 1: the pleasant case. No man e'er saw I who to
[7:58] Speaker 1: give his soul preferreth. The thing pleased Alessir, and he
[8:02] Speaker 1: requited him with much treasure, and the minister became high
[8:06] Speaker 1: in favor with him. After this, there was presented to
[8:10] Speaker 1: the Wazir a slave girl, one of the loveliest women
[8:14] Speaker 1: in the world, and he feared lest this should come
[8:17] Speaker 1: to the King's ear, and he desire her, and the
[8:20] Speaker 1: like should happen, as with a boy so he made
[8:23] Speaker 1: up a present still costlier than the first, and sent
[8:26] Speaker 1: it with her to the king. And Shahrazad perceived the
[8:30] Speaker 1: dawn of day and ceased to say her permitted say.
[8:36] Speaker 1: When it was the six hundred and ninety eighth night,
[8:40] Speaker 1: she pursued it. Hath reached me o auspicious King, that
[8:44] Speaker 1: the Wazir abu Amir, when presented with a beautiful slave girl,
[8:48] Speaker 1: feared lest it come to the conquering king's ears, and
[8:52] Speaker 1: that the like should happen as with a boy. So
[8:55] Speaker 1: he made up a present, still costlier than the first,
[8:58] Speaker 1: and sent it with her to his master, accompanying it
[9:01] Speaker 1: with these couplets, My Lord, this be the sun the
[9:05] Speaker 1: moon thou hadst before. So the two greater lights now
[9:09] Speaker 1: in thy heaven unite conjunction, promising to me prosperity. And
[9:14] Speaker 1: Kalsar dropt to thee and Eden's long delight earth shows
[9:18] Speaker 1: no charms by Allah, ranking is their third nor king
[9:23] Speaker 1: whose second death are conquering king in might. Wherefore his
[9:28] Speaker 1: credit redoubled with al Nasir. But after a while one
[9:32] Speaker 1: of his enemies maligned him to the king, alleging that
[9:35] Speaker 1: there still lurked in him a heart lust for the boy,
[9:38] Speaker 1: and that he ceased not to desire him whenever the
[9:41] Speaker 1: cool northern breezes moved him, and to gnash his teeth
[9:45] Speaker 1: for having given him away, cried the King. Wag not
[9:49] Speaker 1: thou thy tongue at him, or I wilt shear off
[9:52] Speaker 1: thy head. However, he wrote Abu Amir a letter as
[9:56] Speaker 1: from the boy, to the following effect O, my lord,
[10:00] Speaker 1: thou knowest that thou wast all and one to me,
[10:03] Speaker 1: and that I never ceased from delight with thee, albeit
[10:07] Speaker 1: I am with the Sultan. Yet would I choose rather
[10:10] Speaker 1: a solitude with thee, but that I fear the King's majesty.
[10:14] Speaker 1: Wherefore devised thou to demand me of him. This letter
[10:19] Speaker 1: he sent to Abuamil by a little foot page, whom
[10:22] Speaker 1: he enjoin'd to say, this is from such an one
[10:26] Speaker 1: the King never speaketh to him. When Thou Wazir read
[10:30] Speaker 1: the letter and heard the cheating message, he noted the
[10:33] Speaker 1: poisoned draft and wrote on the back of the note,
[10:36] Speaker 1: these couplets shall man experience lectured, ever care fool like
[10:42] Speaker 1: to thrust his head in a lion's lair. I'm none
[10:45] Speaker 1: of those whose wits to love succumb nor witless of
[10:48] Speaker 1: the snares my foes prepare wert thou my sprite, I'd
[10:53] Speaker 1: give thee loyally shall sprite from body sundered backwards fair.
[10:59] Speaker 1: When al Nasir knew of this answer, he marveled at
[11:02] Speaker 1: the Wazir's quickness of wit, and would never again lend
[11:05] Speaker 1: ear to aught of insinuations against him. Then said he
[11:09] Speaker 1: to him, how didst thou escape falling into the net?
[11:13] Speaker 1: And he replied, because my reason is unentangled in the
[11:17] Speaker 1: toils of passion. And they also tell a tale of
[11:22] Speaker 1: the rogueries of Dali Lah the Crafti and her daughter
[11:25] Speaker 1: Zainab the conniecatcher. There lived in the time of Harun
[11:30] Speaker 1: al Rashid, a man named Ahmad al Danaf and another
[11:35] Speaker 1: Hassan Schumann Height the twain past masters in fraud and faints,
[11:40] Speaker 1: who had done rare things in their day. Wherefore the
[11:43] Speaker 1: Caliph invested them with captains of honor and made them
[11:47] Speaker 1: captains of the watch for Baghdad Ahmad of the right
[11:50] Speaker 1: hand and Hassan of the left hand, and appointed to
[11:53] Speaker 1: each of them a stipend of a thousand dinars a
[11:56] Speaker 1: month and forty stalwart men to be at their bidding. Moreover,
[12:01] Speaker 1: to calamity, Ahmad was committed the watch of the district
[12:04] Speaker 1: outside the walls. So Ahmad and Hassan went forth in
[12:08] Speaker 1: company of the Emil Khalid the Wali or chief of police,
[12:12] Speaker 1: attended each by his forty followers on horseback, and preceded
[12:16] Speaker 1: by the crier, crying aloud and saying by command of
[12:20] Speaker 1: the Caliph, none is captain of the watch of the
[12:23] Speaker 1: right hand, but Ahmad al Danav. And none is captain
[12:26] Speaker 1: of the watch of the left hand, but Hassan Schumann.
[12:30] Speaker 1: And both are to be obeyed when they bid, and
[12:32] Speaker 1: are to be held in all honor and worship. Now
[12:36] Speaker 1: there was in the city an old woman called Dalila
[12:39] Speaker 1: the Waili, who had a daughter named Zainab, the conicatcher.
[12:44] Speaker 1: They heard the proclamation made, and Zainab said to dalilah
[12:48] Speaker 1: see O my mother. This fellow Ahmad al Danav. He
[12:52] Speaker 1: came hither from Cairo a fugitive and played the double
[12:56] Speaker 1: dealer in Baghdad till he got into the Caliph's company
[13:00] Speaker 1: and is now become captain of the right hand. Whilst
[13:03] Speaker 1: that Mengi chap Hassan Schumann is captain of the left hand,
[13:07] Speaker 1: and each hath a table spread morning and evening, and
[13:10] Speaker 1: a monthly wage of a thousand dinars. Whereas we abide
[13:14] Speaker 1: unemployed and neglected in this house, without estate and without honor,
[13:18] Speaker 1: and have none to ask of us. Now. Dalilah's husband
[13:23] Speaker 1: had been town captain of Baghdad, with a monthly wage
[13:26] Speaker 1: of one thousand dinars. But he died leaving two daughters,
[13:31] Speaker 1: one married and with a son by name Ahmad al
[13:34] Speaker 1: Lakit or Ahmad the abortion, and the other called Zainab,
[13:38] Speaker 1: a spinster. And this Dalilah was a past mistress in
[13:42] Speaker 1: all manner of craft and trickery and double dealing. She
[13:45] Speaker 1: could while the very dragon out of his den, and
[13:48] Speaker 1: he bliss himself might have learnt deceit of her. Her
[13:52] Speaker 1: father had also been governor of the carrier pigeons to
[13:55] Speaker 1: the Caliph, with a swordier of one thousand dinars a month.
[13:59] Speaker 1: He used to rear the birds to carry letters and messages, wherefore,
[14:03] Speaker 1: in time of need, each was dearer to the Caliph
[14:06] Speaker 1: than one of his own sons. So Zayab said to
[14:10] Speaker 1: her mother, up and play off some faint and fraud
[14:13] Speaker 1: that may happily make us notorious. And Shahrazad perceived the
[14:19] Speaker 1: dawn of day and ceased, saying her permitted say when
[14:24] Speaker 1: it was the six hundred and ninety ninth night, she
[14:27] Speaker 1: resumed it hath reached me o auspicious king, that Zaynab
[14:32] Speaker 1: thus addressed her damn up and play off some faint
[14:36] Speaker 1: and fraud which may happily make us notorious in Baghdad.
[14:39] Speaker 1: So perchance we shall win our fathers stipend for ourselves,
[14:43] Speaker 1: replied the old trot, as thy head liveth o my daughter,
[14:48] Speaker 1: I will play off higher class rogueries in Baghdad than
[14:51] Speaker 1: ever played Calamity Ahmad or Hassan the pestilent, so saying,
[14:56] Speaker 1: she rose and threw over her face the lisam veil
[15:00] Speaker 1: and dawn's clothes, such as the poorer soufis ware, petticoat,
[15:04] Speaker 1: trousers falling over her heels, and a gown of white
[15:08] Speaker 1: wool with a broad girdle. She also took a pitcher
[15:12] Speaker 1: and filled it with water to the neck, after which
[15:15] Speaker 1: she set three dinars in the mouth and stopped it
[15:18] Speaker 1: up with a plug of palm fiber. Then she threw
[15:22] Speaker 1: round her shoulder balgic wise a rosary as big as
[15:26] Speaker 1: a load of firewood, and taking in her hand a
[15:29] Speaker 1: flag made of party colored rags, red and yellow and green,
[15:33] Speaker 1: went out crying Allah Allah with tongue celebrating the praises
[15:38] Speaker 1: of the Lord, whilst her heart galloped in the devil's racecourse,
[15:43] Speaker 1: seeking how she might play some sharping trick upon town.
[15:47] Speaker 1: She walked from street to street till she came to
[15:50] Speaker 1: an alley swept and watered and marble paved, where she
[15:54] Speaker 1: saw a vaulted gateway with a threshold of alabaster, and
[15:58] Speaker 1: a Moorish porter standing at the door, which was of sandalwood,
[16:02] Speaker 1: plaited with brass, and furnished with a ring of silver
[16:05] Speaker 1: for knocker. Now this house belonged to the chief of
[16:09] Speaker 1: the Caliph's sergeant, Ushers, a man of great wealth in fields,
[16:13] Speaker 1: houses and allowances, called the Emir Hassan Shah al Tarik,
[16:18] Speaker 1: or Evil of the Way, and therefore called because his
[16:21] Speaker 1: blow forewent his word. He was married to a fair damsel,
[16:25] Speaker 1: kathun Hit, whom he loved, and who had made him
[16:29] Speaker 1: swear on the night of his going in unto her,
[16:32] Speaker 1: that he would take none other to wife over her,
[16:34] Speaker 1: nor lie abroad for a single night, and so things
[16:38] Speaker 1: went on till one day he went to the divan
[16:41] Speaker 1: and saw that each emir had with him a son
[16:43] Speaker 1: or two. Then he entered the hammam bath, and looking
[16:47] Speaker 1: at his face in the mirror, noted that the white
[16:50] Speaker 1: hairs in his beard overlay its black. And he said
[16:53] Speaker 1: in himself, will not he who took thy sire bless
[16:57] Speaker 1: THEE with the son. So he went into his wife
[17:00] Speaker 1: in angry mood, and she said to him, good evening
[17:04] Speaker 1: to THEE. But he replied, get THEE out of my sight.
[17:07] Speaker 1: From the day I saw THEE, I have seen naught
[17:10] Speaker 1: of good. How so quoth she quoth he on the
[17:16] Speaker 1: night of my going in unto THEE, Thou madest me
[17:18] Speaker 1: swear to take no other wife over THEE. And this
[17:22] Speaker 1: very day I have seen each emir with a son,
[17:24] Speaker 1: and some with two. So I minded me of death,
[17:28] Speaker 1: and also that to me hath been vouchsafed neither son
[17:32] Speaker 1: nor daughter, and that whoso leaveth no male hath no memory.
[17:37] Speaker 1: This then is the reason of my anger, for thou
[17:39] Speaker 1: art barren, And knowing THEE is like plaining a rock,
[17:44] Speaker 1: cried she allas name upon thee. Indeed, I have worn
[17:48] Speaker 1: out the mortars with beating wool and pounding drugs. And
[17:52] Speaker 1: I am not to blame. The barrenness is with thee,
[17:55] Speaker 1: for that thou art a snubnosed mule, and thy sperm
[17:59] Speaker 1: is weak and watery, and impregnateth not neither getteth children,
[18:04] Speaker 1: said he. When I return from my journey, I will
[18:08] Speaker 1: take another wife, and she my luck is with Allah.
[18:12] Speaker 1: Then he went out from her, and both, repentive of
[18:15] Speaker 1: the sharp words, spoken to each other. Now, as the
[18:18] Speaker 1: Emir's wife looked forth of her lattice, as she wore
[18:22] Speaker 1: a bride of the hordes for the jewelry upon her behold,
[18:26] Speaker 1: there stood Daalilah, espying her, and seeing her clad in
[18:30] Speaker 1: costly clothes and ornaments, said to herself, twould be a
[18:34] Speaker 1: rare trick, o Dalilah, to entice younger young lady from
[18:37] Speaker 1: her husband's house and strip her of all her jewels
[18:40] Speaker 1: and clothes and make off with the whole lot. So
[18:44] Speaker 1: she took up her stand under the windows of the
[18:46] Speaker 1: Emir's house and fell to calling aloud upon Allah's name,
[18:50] Speaker 1: and saying, be present, O ye walis, ye friends of
[18:54] Speaker 1: the Lord whereupon every woman in the street looked from
[18:58] Speaker 1: her lattice, and, seeing a matron clad after Sufi fashion
[19:03] Speaker 1: in clothes of white wool, as she wore a pavilion
[19:05] Speaker 1: of light, said Allah, bring us a blessing by the
[19:08] Speaker 1: agents of this pious old person, from whose face issueth light.
[19:14] Speaker 1: And Katun, the wife of the Emir Hassan, burst into
[19:17] Speaker 1: tears and said to her hand maid, geth thee down,
[19:20] Speaker 1: o Makbullah, and kiss the hand of shaik Abu Ali
[19:23] Speaker 1: the porter, and say to him, let yonder religious enter
[19:27] Speaker 1: to my lady, so haply she may get a blessing
[19:30] Speaker 1: of her. So she went down to the porter, and,
[19:33] Speaker 1: kissing his hand, said to him, my mistress, telleth thee.
[19:36] Speaker 1: Let yonder pious old woman come in to me, so
[19:39] Speaker 1: may I get a blessing of her, and belike her
