Narrator:
Most
potent, grave, and reverend signiors, King:-
Well,I will
marry again. Who shall be my bride? Fetch me one that shall grace the
palace
for one night only, as the others before her. Vizier:-
My most
honoured Master and sovereign, I tremble before you. I regret to say
there are
no maidens left in the land. King:
Whhhhhhhatt!?
Thou liest infidel and slave, for it is well known you yourself have
two
daughters,and I swear that both shall wed me before the week is out. Vizier: It
is most
true; true I have those daughters you spoke of. But your Majesty ; I
have
served you faithfully for twenty years and more- may I not- King:-
Silence, dog!
Why should you be spared when other fathers have paid their proper
tribute to
their Lord and Master? I have
vowed
vengeance on my wives. Let Allah
witness I
have kept my vow. Narrator:- There
is no strength or power save in Allah! |
