I saw not love, my eyes were closed, a dart

In by my ear made he.

I do not know what has passed between some lady

And my heart.

So much for the old King of Babylon upon his throne in the oasis, and for the sorrows of his life.

Though Prince Diamond had ordered his companions not to follow him, when they grew anxious at his long absence, they disobeyed and searched across the desert for him. They came upon him as he was leaving the oasis and, after clustering about him like butterflies about a rose, gave him a change horse whose action was lighter than the breeze and swifter than the imagination of man. He leapt into the gilded saddle and took the pearl-studded bridle in his hand; late in the day he came back to his father’s palace with his troop.

Instead of finding his son healthily rejoiced by his hunting, Shams- Shah saw that his colour was changed and that he was plunged in some dark sea of grief. For love had eaten to Diamond’s bones and fed upon the strength of his heart and liver.

At this point Shahrazad saw the approach of morning and discreetly fell silent.
