| 7386 | And her brother said to her,"Wherefore comest thou thus to me? |
| 7386 | And his m''jesty said,"Who, then, is it that shall bring them to me?" |
| 7386 | And his majesty said,"Where is that?" |
| 7386 | And his majesty said,"Wherefore is it, Dedi, that I have not yet seen thee?" |
| 7386 | And his majesty said,"Who is he, Hordedef?" |
| 7386 | And his majesty said,''Row you not further?'' |
| 7386 | And his majesty''s heart became troubled for this; but Dedi spake unto him,"What is this that thou thinkest, O king( life, wealth, health), my lord? |
| 7386 | And his sons and his councillors came and stood before him, and he said to them,"Know ye a man who can tell me tales of the deeds of the magicians?" |
| 7386 | And she said to her handmaid,"Is the house made ready?" |
| 7386 | And the servant said unto those that were in the house,"Shall it be done thus unto me? |
| 7386 | And who is this Rud- didet?" |
| 7386 | Behold he said to me,"For what cause hast thou come hither? |
| 7386 | But Hemti said,"Go you over my corn, instead of the path?" |
| 7386 | By the evening I drew near to Kher- ahau(? |
| 7386 | Do not, do not, be silent and speechless; tell thy name; is it fear that prevents thee?" |
| 7386 | Does a man fear when he sees his own land? |
| 7386 | Has a matter come to pass in the palace? |
| 7386 | Has the king of the two lands, Sehetep- abra gone to heaven? |
| 7386 | Have I ever opened his door, or leaped over his fence? |
| 7386 | He it is who smites every robber in this whole land; and shall I then be robbed in his domain?" |
| 7386 | His majesty said,"And when shall Rud- didet bear these?" |
| 7386 | His majesty then said to her,''Wherefore rowest thou not?'' |
| 7386 | I answered in reply,"I fear, what is it that my lord has said that I should answer it? |
| 7386 | Is it because of these three children? |
| 7386 | It is some envious jealousy from seeing me; does he think that I am like some steer among the cows, whom the bull overthrows? |
| 7386 | O great God, like unto Ra in fulfilling that to which he has set his hand, what am I that he should take thought for me? |
| 7386 | Shall I agree to treachery?" |
| 7386 | Will God forget what He has ordained, and how shall that be known?" |
| 7386 | Wilt thou do then as thy heart moves thee? |
| 6859 | And I, an ancient orphan, What do I here alone? 6859 And where, ye breezes balmy That wandered vagrant here? |
| 6859 | What harbors that morrow,I wonder,"For them when the breadwinner''s gone? |
| 6859 | Where are ye, mighty giants? 6859 ( To a Young Girl) Say whither, whither, pretty one? 6859 --A dealer then wilt thou remain, Forever from the pen abstain? 6859 --How? 6859 --_''Tis rest then you want, and you fain would forget? 6859 --_Companions a- plenty-- they''re numberless too; They''re swarming already and waiting for you._ Whither? 6859 --_So now''tis your wish all in white to be dressed? 6859 --_You dream of a bath in the shimmering stream? 6859 --_You long for the meadow lands breezy and fair? 6859 A garden you say is the world, where abound The sweetest and loveliest roses? 6859 Ah, what delight, wilt thou receive me? 6859 Alone-- with darkness round you curled? 6859 And my heart is throbbing wildly, I am weeping-- tell me wherefore? 6859 And what shall the ending be, say you? 6859 And where, oh sweep of heavens So deep and blue and clear? 6859 As I stand and listen All the grief in me, All the woe is stirred again, And the question heard again: What the end shall be? 6859 Away-- am I thine only friend? 6859 Beside it is sitting a corpse, cold and stark: The seller of candles-- will nobody mark? 6859 Broad her snow- white sails outspreading''Gainst the quiet sky of evening, Flies a ship without a sailor, Flies-- and whither, who can tell? 6859 But why in a dream stands the tall chandelier, As dim as the candles that gleam round a bier? 6859 Can''st wake a stone?... 6859 Could I but tell it so... What is there to know? 6859 Day hath not warmed you with her light; What aid can''st hope then from the night? 6859 Despair No rest-- not one day in the seven for me? 6859 Despair Whither? 6859 Dost hear it, Jew? 6859 For whom, O heavenly singer, Thy song so clear and free? 6859 Gracious youth of mine, so quickly Hath it come to this? 6859 Haste thee, loved one, for the music Shall be hushed anon...( O sweet years of youth departed, Whither are ye gone?) 6859 Hear''st thou not the promise ring Where, like doves on silver wing, Thronging cherubs sweetly sing Newmade songs of what shall be? 6859 How long shall the wheel yet, I pray you, Be chased by the pale artisan? 6859 How long will it be, do you think, ere her breath Gives out in the horrible struggle with Death? 6859 How long will this frail one in mother- love strong, Give suck to the babe at her breast? 6859 How plain and prettily he asked:Dear mamma, when''s''Tonight''? |
| 6859 | I tried to fight them-- well... What is there to tell? |
| 6859 | In Jewish delight, what is worthy the name? |
| 6859 | May not I from out the distance Cast one backward glance On that fair and lost existence, Youth''s sweet dalliance? |
| 6859 | More cruel can a sentence be Than that which now is given? |
| 6859 | Night''s deaf and blind!--Oh whither, child, Light- minded fancies weaving? |
| 6859 | Not one, from the maddening yoke to be free? |
| 6859 | O mute and infinite extension, O time beyond our comprehension, Shall thought and deed ungarnered fall? |
| 6859 | O when will come my dear papa And bring a penny bright?" |
| 6859 | O whither, whither do you run? |
| 6859 | O whither, whither, pretty child, So late at night a- strolling? |
| 6859 | Oh answer: when come ye again? |
| 6859 | Oh tell me, ye loved ones, Whereto are ye winging? |
| 6859 | Oh, how long? |
| 6859 | Oh, on what hills are they ringing, O''er what sunny plain? |
| 6859 | Or say you the world is a banquet, a ball, Where everyone goes who is able? |
| 6859 | Poor luckless hunter, are you dumb? |
| 6859 | Say, who is it yonder walks Past the hedgerows decked anew, While a fearful spectre stalks By his side the woodland through? |
| 6859 | See''st thou the dancers floating On a stream of sound? |
| 6859 | Shall I never hear the echoes Of those songs again? |
| 6859 | Smiling in her wreath of flowers Is my love not fair? |
| 6859 | Soft a little wind is blowing O''er the gently rippling waters-- What they whisper, what they murmur, Who is wise enough to say? |
| 6859 | The Canary The free canary warbles In leafy forest dell: Who feels what rapture thrills her, And who her joy can tell? |
| 6859 | The branches are sapless, the leaves will decay, An end is upon us, and whence, who shall say? |
| 6859 | The face of the clock has the eyes of a foe; The clock-- Oh, I shudder-- dost hear how it drives me? |
| 6859 | The father''s dumb-- the mother shrieks:"My babes and me you''d sever? |
| 6859 | The man Implores the judge:"Oh tell us, What will you? |
| 6859 | The rich and the pious are nobly behaved: A body-- what matters? |
| 6859 | The sweet canary warbles Where wealth and splendor dwell: Who knows what sorrow moves her, And who her pain can tell? |
| 6859 | To shops and to pushcarts they hurriedly fare; But who for the poor, wretched woman will care? |
| 6859 | Want And I Who''s there? |
| 6859 | Well, say you the world is a chamber of sleep, And life but a sleeping and dreaming? |
| 6859 | What have you for your toil and pain, What have you at the last? |
| 6859 | What hope can it offer to one of my nation? |
| 6859 | What is the World? |
| 6859 | What joy can he find in the splendors of May? |
| 6859 | What the light hath parted purely, Shall the darkness join more surely?-- Was the vict''ry won in vain? |
| 6859 | Where are ye, birds of summer? |
| 6859 | Where are ye, woods of old? |
| 6859 | Where drives you now the wind so wild? |
| 6859 | Where to, before the rising sun The world her light is giving? |
| 6859 | Where, oh where is my beloved, Where the wreath of flowers? |
| 6859 | Where, oh where the merry fiddler, Where those happy hours? |
| 6859 | Who ever has heard of a conscious machine? |
| 6859 | Who hears or sees or heeds thee, Who feels or cares for thee? |
| 6859 | Who then, tell me, old and sad, Nears us with a heavy tread? |
| 6859 | Why this hurry, say? |
| 6859 | With our children small Relentlessly expel us? |
| 6859 | With the grave shall be requited Good and evil, and united Ne''er to separate again? |
| 6859 | You deemd that the star of a Jew could be kind? |
| 6859 | You laughed then, you say? |
| 6859 | You see, it is Sfere, our time for dejection,-- And can a Jew laugh when the rule is to cry? |
| 6859 | You see, it is Sfere, our time for dejection,-- And can a Jew laugh when the rule is to cry? |
| 6859 | You thought there was zest in a Jewish existence? |
| 6859 | You understand? |
| 6859 | Your worktime is bitter and endless in length; And have you not foolishly lavished your strength? |
| 6859 | what are these ant- hills?-- These ants that creep and crawl?... |
| 6859 | who was it tried To force the entrance I''ve denied? |
| 6859 | who''s there? |
| 6859 | why seekest thou to find me? |
| 7530 | Because I did not submit to the will of Jeremiah? 7530 If thieves surprised thee and ravished thy honor, if the hand of the malefactor has prevailed against thee, is it thy fault, my afflicted sister? |
| 7530 | It is high time for us to throw a glance backward-- to stop a moment and ask ourselves: Whither are we hastening, and why do we hasten?.... |
| 7530 | Slaves we were in the land of Egypt.... And what are we now? 7530 The land wherein we were born, wherein we live, is it not part of Europe, the most civilized of all continents?... |
| 7530 | Thou art betrothed-- knowest thou him for whom thou art destined? 7530 True, for many long centuries, they led thee, and constructed houses of learning for thee-- but what did they teach thee? |
| 7530 | What accomplished they? 7530 What are we, you ask, and what our life? |
| 7530 | When, my dear German scholars, he cries out vehemently,"when will the Lord open your eyes? |
| 7530 | Where are they, the forgotten generations? 7530 Where is thy shame, seeing thy heart is pure and chaste? |
| 7530 | Wherefore this desolation of spirit, this anguish of heart? 7530 Whither shall I bear my shame? |
| 7530 | Why weepest thou, my afflicted sister? 7530 ''Are you making fun of me? 7530 ''Why do n''t you look for a place to lie down in?'' 7530 --''But are n''t you committing a sin, cursing a deaf man?'' 7530 --''Will you take a penny for it?'' 7530 A saint, is n''t he? 7530 And Portugal, did she not find the way to the Indies? 7530 And another would sing out in reply,''Who has bread to sell? 7530 And is not he, Lebensohn himself, the heir to the prophets, the poet laureate and high priest to the holy language? 7530 And who escapes his lot? 7530 And with all this, does life offer aught substantial, aught that is lasting? 7530 Are we a people like those around us, or only members of a religious community? 7530 Are we not bound with ropes of absurdities, with cords of quibbles, with all sorts of prejudices?... 7530 Are we not the continual plaything of our senses, which are incapable of grasping absolute truths, and deceive us even about the appearance of things? 7530 But in the face of all of them, whose voice appeals unto me? 7530 But was not her father the head of the community? 7530 But what was it that the priest of Anathoth required of me to do? |
| 7530 | But what was to become of it all? |
| 7530 | But whither? |
| 7530 | But will our strength endure forever? |
| 7530 | Calming down, the teacher resumed his seat, and when we approached him, he tapped me on my cheek, saying,''What hast thou learnt, my son?'' |
| 7530 | Can you not understand that the Jew, too, loves righteousness and justice like unto yourselves? |

| 7530 | Do we not find her among beasts even, and among reptiles? |
| 7530 | Do we not sink lower from year to year? |
| 7530 | Dost thou love him? |
| 7530 | Had not Lilienblum, too, stopped in the middle of the road? |
| 7530 | He compared the great writer to the Jewish people, and asked himself:"What is our people, and what its literature? |
| 7530 | He insists constantly, Is not pity the daughter of heaven? |
| 7530 | He sees nothing, and in anguish he asks himself:"For whom have I toiled all the years of my prime? |
| 7530 | How could it be otherwise? |
| 7530 | How dare the stranger trample on thy soil with haughty foot? |
| 7530 | How gentle the zephyrs wafted over thy heights, who hath words to tell?" |
| 7530 | How long wilt thou slumber? |
| 7530 | How, O Heaven, can the son of the stranger stand upon the spot whence Thy command banishes him?" |
| 7530 | If he forsakes his faith, how doth it profit you? |
| 7530 | Is he hunchbacked or one- eyed? |
| 7530 | Is he young or old? |
| 7530 | Is it not a beautiful language and admirable? |
| 7530 | Is it not the last relic saved from the shipwreck in which all the national possessions of our people were lost? |
| 7530 | Is it not thy voice, my dove? |
| 7530 | Is not all hope lost? |
| 7530 | Know not the living that the grave will swallow them up after a life of sadness and cruel misery? |
| 7530 | Knowest thou not that to the heart of a Jewish woman love is prohibited?" |
| 7530 | O God, arouse, awake my spirit, for is it not Thy holy language wherein I sing unto Thee?" |
| 7530 | O that one whose heart has been touched by God might judge between ourselves and those who bite us, which of us is the hangman and which the victim?" |
| 7530 | Of what avail to look at him who stands beside thee? |
| 7530 | One would cry out,''Who wants bread?'' |
| 7530 | Or is he going to live forever?'' |
| 7530 | Or were the little creatures swarming all over the walls to remind one of''the foxes that walk upon the mountain of Zion''? |
| 7530 | See they not that the whole of human life is like the flash that goes before the fatal thunderbolt?" |
| 7530 | Should I not desire its prosperity and its happiness?" |
| 7530 | The poet says regarding his death:"The light of the world is obscured and dun, Of what avail the light of the sun?" |

| 7530 | Where shall I find a refuge? |
| 7530 | Whither lead their steps? |
| 7530 | Whither were the Jews to turn? |
| 7530 | Who had kindled in his soul the sacred flame, love of truth and research? |
| 7530 | Who has bread to sell?'' |
| 7530 | Who hath shattered my heart, and brought me lamentation?... |
| 7530 | Who hath with one blow blasted my hopes?" |
| 7530 | Who is it that hath banished my lyre from my abode? |
| 7530 | Who stole my bread?'' |
| 7530 | Why do you constantly scrutinize the_ man_ to find the_ Jew_ in him? |
| 7530 | Why do you do them wrong? |
| 7530 | Why do you scorn the Jew? |
| 7530 | Why not apply the law to human groups, or nations? |
| 7530 | Why should the Greeks, the Roumanians, desire a national emancipation, and Israel, the people of the Bible, not?... |
| 7530 | Why should these dogs have the right to bite and bark? |
| 7530 | Will he succeed in his purpose? |
| 7530 | Without Thee, O my Glory, what care I for life? |
| 7530 | You''re not afraid?'' |

| 9886 | And Jargon, besides, they said-- to which of us did they refer? 9886 And what of me?" |
| 9886 | Because he lived,was the answer.--"What hast thou laid up for the cold weather?" |
| 9886 | But how shall I kill my wife? 9886 But what art thou after here?" |
| 9886 | But where is the wealth and the honor? |
| 9886 | But, said I,continues Joseph,"how canst thou be the friend of such a one? |
| 9886 | But,protests Joseph,"how couldst thou assert that thou knewest half of every subject, when it is clear thou knowest nothing?" |
| 9886 | But,queried the leopard,"what could my wife do to harm me after I am dead?" |
| 9886 | Did I not tell you to cease your praises of women? |
| 9886 | Did you eat anything of what I gave you? |
| 9886 | Do you know,asks Mr. Alston in the"Witch''s Head,""what those Basutu devils would have done if they had caught us? |

| 9886 | How long,she asked,"did it take God to create the world?" |
| 9886 | How much? |
| 9886 | If he is not your beloved, why will you not kill him? 9886 Is it not ordered,"he cried,"that none should make an image? |
| 9886 | Lo, a blockhead on a block,said the passers- by.--"What prayer make you by night?" |
| 9886 | Nay,said Enan,"where was thy understanding? |
| 9886 | Shivering,he answered.--Death is the dread of the rich and the hope of the poor.--Which is the best of the beasts? |
| 9886 | Tell me,said she,"how many days old the month is; is the moon new, and the sun at its zenith?" |
| 9886 | Then how does his wife go in? |
| 9886 | To see what? |
| 9886 | What ails thee? |
| 9886 | What are you running from? |
| 9886 | What dost thou mean? |
| 9886 | What has God been doing since that time? |
| 9886 | What is that noise? |
| 9886 | Why askest thou my name? |
| 9886 | Why blasphemest thou against wine, and bearest false witness against it? 9886 Why did he die?" |
| 9886 | Why, then, do you look on beautiful women? |
| 9886 | You think that the easier of the two? |
| 9886 | ''But,''objected the fox,''how can I come into the sea without being drowned?'' |
| 9886 | ''Knowest thou not,''continued the fishes,''that a great honor is in store for thee, and that we have come here on thy behalf?'' |
| 9886 | ''What dost thou mean? |

| 9886 | --"What thinkest thou?" |
| 9886 | --What is style? |
| 9886 | --Who is the worst of men? |

| 9886 | Can anything be more convenient than this? |
| 9886 | Do n''t you see that the king is with us?" |

| 9886 | Have you any animals that go about without their hearts?'' |
| 9886 | He brought him to his sire, who straightway did inquire,"Knowest thou an Indian spot, a city named Tobot?" |
| 9886 | How could I have come with you without my heart? |
| 9886 | How could she love Yiddish were it not so? |
| 9886 | How? |

| 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?" |

| 10121 | And is the conflict o''er,we cried,"And lie we at your feet? |
| 10121 | And what is that? |
| 10121 | And you, vile bastard,said Antar to him,"you son of a vile mother, must your honor be purchased at the expense of our disgrace? |
| 10121 | And you,she said to him,"you, born so low, how dared you kill the slave of a prince? |
| 10121 | Ayas,replied Hadifah,"do you think I would break my word? |
| 10121 | But, sir, how shall I distinguish Dahir from Ghabra when they advance, both of them wrapped in a cloud of dust? |
| 10121 | But, your Majesty,said I,"dare I ask if this law applies to foreigners also?" |
| 10121 | Do you hear him, brother? |
| 10121 | Do you intend to sell that horse? |
| 10121 | Do you not know,was the answer,"that the son of the grand- vizir is to marry the Sultan''s daughter to- night?" |
| 10121 | Does he think I am a man of traffic-- a horse- dealer, who can not mount the horses he owns? 10121 Forgive my ignorance,"he asked,"what is this palace you speak of?" |
| 10121 | Have you not heard of Prince Aladdin''s palace,was the reply,"the greatest wonder of the world? |
| 10121 | How did you escape? |
| 10121 | Ibla? |

| 10121 | Madam,replied the slave,"who can help laughing to see an old fool offering to exchange fine new lamps for old ones?" |
| 10121 | O King Cais,he exclaimed,"what have you done? |
| 10121 | O thou son of a vile coward,he exclaimed"how is it that you are not more respectful in your address to me?" |
| 10121 | So, captain,said I,"the merchant who owned those bales was called Sindbad?" |

| 10121 | Dost thou wonder that I hung Raptur''d on my Leila''s tongue? |
| 10121 | Hadifah, filled with indignation at these words:"What, not even Ghabra?" |
| 10121 | Has any one displeased or insulted you-- the greatest of Arab chiefs?" |
| 10121 | Have you ever heard of anyone who has suffered more, or had more narrow escapes than I have? |
| 10121 | He rubbed it, and the genie appeared, saying:"What is thy will?" |
| 10121 | He was thunderstruck, and turning to the vizir said:"What sayest thou? |
| 10121 | How canst thou doom me, cruel fair, Plung''d in the hell[C] of scorn to groan? |
| 10121 | How my love, cried I, durst thou hither stray Thro''the gloom, nor fear the ghosts that haunt the grove? |
| 10121 | How oft hath eve her dewy treasures borne To fall responsive to the breeze below? |
| 10121 | How oft since then, the hovering mist of morn Hath caus''d thy locks with glittering gems to glow? |
| 10121 | How oft, since then, the star of spring, that pours A never- failing stream, hath drenched thy head? |
| 10121 | How oft, the summer cloud in copious showers Or gentle drops its genial influence shed? |

| 10121 | In such a cause Can ye the voice of glory slight? |
| 10121 | Is it all gravity to shock? |
| 10121 | Is it grief that bids thee sigh? |

| 10121 | The blood of our dead is shed, and shall we not avenge it?" |
| 10121 | 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? |
| 10121 | To live unheeded, and unknown? |
| 10121 | To sink forgotten to the dead? |
| 10121 | Turning therefore to his brother, he asked:"Who ordered you to go to this man? |
| 10121 | Two sons hadst thou, the one thy pride, The other was thy pest; Ah, why did cruel death decide To snatch away the best? |

| 13060 | Somebody asked him,''What calamity has happened to put you in such a state of trepidation?'' |
| 13060 | The king answered,"What a story is this? |
| 13060 | The king asked, saying,"What does he say?" |
| 13060 | The king asked, saying,"Why do they show such a disinclination to do you justice?" |
| 13060 | The king asked,"How can I set up a legal plea?" |
| 13060 | The king asked,"How?" |
| 13060 | The king asked,"What may that be?" |
| 13060 | The king asked:"What are the best means of collecting an army and yeomanry?" |
| 13060 | The king ordered that they should beat and drive him away, saying,"How came you to utter so many falsehoods?" |
| 13060 | The king said,"What strength can a man derive from so small a quantity?" |
| 13060 | The king smiled and asked the vizir,"What is your advice in this case?" |
| 13060 | The person spoke to him, saying,"Who are you, and why did you throw this stone at my head?" |
| 13060 | Then why art thou my superior in dignity? |
| 13060 | They asked him, saying,"Why are you so grateful?" |
| 13060 | They asked him,"Why do you not join us in this discussion?" |
| 13060 | They asked him:"Why did you bestow all the decoration and ornament on the left hand, whilst the right is the superior?" |
| 13060 | They asked, saying,"What vision did you see?" |
| 13060 | They asked,"What damage can ensue from this trifle?" |
| 13060 | They spoke to the law doctor, saying,"Why do you not get him to prescribe for your son- in- law?" |

| 10887 | Have I embraced a god? |
| 10887 | How shall I Khasisadra reach? 10887 My maid art thou? |
| 10887 | O King of Light and Joy and Peace, Supreme thy love shall ever reign; Oh, can our songs of bliss here cease? 10887 O why, thou keeper, dost thou seize my crown?" |
| 10887 | Oh, is this death like that the seer hath dreamed? 10887 So like an herb uprooted comes this Queen, To sting me as an asp doth Ishtar mean? |
| 10887 | So thus you visit all these realms of woe, To torture them with hopes they ne''er can know? 10887 Then why, thou slave, mine earrings take away?" |
| 10887 | Thou speakest truth, great Sar, what wouldst thou have? |
| 10887 | What brings thee here? |
| 10887 | What means this fantasy that hath me filled, And spirit form that o''er my pillow leans; I wonder what this fragrant incense means? 10887 What seekest thou within my mountain lair?" |
| 10887 | Who cometh yonder with the form of gods? |
| 10887 | Why art thou here in warrior''s array? |
| 10887 | 10 O Fire- god, those seven how were they born, how grew they up? |
| 10887 | 11 How long O my god( shall I suffer?). |
| 10887 | 12 How long O my goddess( shall I suffer?). |
| 10887 | 13 How long O my god, who knewest( though) I knew not, shall( thy) strength( oppress me?). |
| 10887 | 13 The holy name( of my god I profaned?). |
| 10887 | 14 How long O my goddess, who knewest( though) I knew not, shall thy heart( be wroth?). |
| 10887 | 14 The holy name( of my goddess I profaned?). |
| 10887 | 16 Of mankind the name( that) is fully proclaimed how can I know? |
| 10887 | 18 Kingship in its going forth( is) like a_ royal robe_(?) |
| 10887 | 30:"Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom, by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?" |
| 10887 | 34 The corn( is) high, it is flourishing; how is it known? |
| 10887 | 9 Who is there? |
| 10887 | AN ADDRESS TO SOME DEITY In heaven who is great? |
| 10887 | And Samas urging, to him thus replied:"Heabani, hast thou not some manly pride? |
| 10887 | And for my love Queen Ishtar comes this day? |
| 10887 | And he alarmed starts up and springs away, And furious cries, to Ishtar''s wild dismay:"What meanest thou, thou wanton brazen thing? |
| 10887 | And is my breast with wild ambition tost? |
| 10887 | And is the glorious omen not in vain? |
| 10887 | And love you say, my queen, is there, Where I can breathe with life anew? |
| 10887 | And now Ur- Hea nearer makes his way, And Izdubar addressing him, doth say:"Ur- Hea is thy name? |
| 10887 | And now he eyes his hairy body, arms Compared to Sam- kha''s snowy god- like charms, She give to him her freshness, blooming youth? |
| 10887 | And shall I let thee from me go afar?" |
| 10887 | And thinkest thou no joy thou here wilt lose? |
| 10887 | And this alone was all that death me gave? |
| 10887 | And thus her love she greets:"Why art thou here? |
| 10887 | And thus, man''s fate in Life and Death is solved With naught but consciousness, and thus involved All men in hopes that no fruition have? |
| 10887 | And trampling footsteps through the copses sound, And Izdubar, his hand placed on his sword, Loud cries:"Who cometh o''er mine Erech''s sward?" |
| 10887 | And who can rival them inviolate? |
| 10887 | And yet-- and yet, what truths have we? |
| 10887 | At that time an image of my person I made; a history of my supremacy 69 upon it I wrote, and( on) a mountain of the land of Ikin(?) |
| 10887 | But is it so? |
| 10887 | But what is fame? |
| 10887 | But will I thus desert my kingdom, throne? |
| 10887 | Doth Heaven''s Queen thus come infuriate?" |
| 10887 | Doth lucre thy bright wing Unfold to hover over human hearts? |
| 10887 | Hath Accad not her chariots and spears?" |
| 10887 | Hath Tammuz from me ever, ever, gone? |
| 10887 | Have ye our wrongs forgiven? |
| 10887 | He said:''What askest thou? |
| 10887 | Her beauteous form it had, its breath perfume; Do spirit forms such loveliness assume?" |
| 10887 | His glory who can sing, who brings us joy? |
| 10887 | I bless this glorious land, that brings me near To one that wafts sweet Heaven in my heart; From thy dear plains how can my soul depart? |
| 10887 | If I the sea may cross, how shall I go? |
| 10887 | In Heaven who of all the gods is great? |
| 10887 | Is it in view? |
| 10887 | O Thou; thy words who can resist? |
| 10887 | O where art thou? |
| 10887 | O wondrous mortal, must thou die? |
| 10887 | Of Izdubar is Sabitu afraid? |
| 10887 | Oh, how the poor young things With throbbing hearts approach yon gathering throng To hear their fate pronounced; but is it wrong? |
| 10887 | Oh, where are thy temples of ancient renown? |
| 10887 | Oh, where art thou?" |
| 10887 | Oh, where is Accad''s chieftain Izdubar, Her mightiest unrivalled prince of war? |
| 10887 | Oh, why do gods thus send a fate so hard, And cruel? |
| 10887 | On earth what man is great? |
| 10887 | On earth who is great? |
| 10887 | One asked,"Hath our Sardan- nu''s dreams been light? |
| 10887 | Or canst thou hope that sons of darkness may The Heaven- born of Light and glory slay? |
| 10887 | Or hath dread phantoms o''er thy pillow hung? |
| 10887 | Or through the desert? |
| 10887 | The King each face soon read:"Ye tell me no?" |
| 10887 | The King leans down his head, it kissing, says,"Sweet beauty, I love thee? |
| 10887 | The Silver Sky? |
| 10887 | The corn( is) bearded, it is flourishing; how is it known? |
| 10887 | The foe destroyed thy beauteous towers, Sa- mu forgot to rain her showers, And could I happy be? |
| 10887 | The maiden startled looks upon his face, And thus she answers him with queenly grace:"So soon must go? |
| 10887 | The_ sukhu- li_[2] and_ masari_[3] rush in:"What trouble, Sar? |
| 10887 | Their eyes now mingling with a happy glow, The maiden sweetly says:"Where wouldst thou go? |
| 10887 | Through that dread desert must I ride alone; And leave thee here, Heabani, lying prone? |
| 10887 | Thy towers magnificent, oh, hast thou spurned? |
| 10887 | To Hades hath he gone? |
| 10887 | We reck not which, and welcome give to thee; Wouldst thou here sport with us within the sea?" |
| 10887 | What can her presence bring to me but hate? |
| 10887 | What carest thou for earthly royalty? |
| 10887 | What caused the termination of this blissful state? |
| 10887 | What happiness is this my heart receives? |
| 10887 | What king to his great glory can aspire? |
| 10887 | What man before thy blessèd Light withstands? |
| 10887 | What nameless horror thrills the shaking ground? |
| 10887 | What sayest thou, Heabani?--all my seers? |
| 10887 | What word have ye for me? |
| 10887 | When I approach thee, thou from me wouldst flee? |
| 10887 | When he awoke, sprang to the chamber floor, As his own maid the queen herself transforms, Says entering in haste:"What wild alarms Thee, Sar?" |
| 10887 | Where is my seer? |
| 10887 | Where, oh, where do spirits fly Whom gods have cursed? |
| 10887 | Who comes? |
| 10887 | Who wants a wife?" |
| 10887 | Why comest thou to woe immeasurable?" |
| 10887 | Why did I hear His words advising me to come? |
| 10887 | With all these bitter pangs of grief Despair hath fallen on my queenly head, Oh, is there, sisters, no relief? |
| 10887 | With tender petals thrilling on its stem, It lifts its fragrant face and says to him,"Dear King, wilt thou love me as I do thee? |
| 10887 | Wouldst thou on me the direst curses bring?" |
| 10887 | Your queen lies dying in her awful woe, Oh, why should she from us to Hades go?" |

| 10887 | hath gone; Oh, Ninazu, what hast thou done? |
| 10887 | have foes here come within?" |
| 10887 | he answers not: and must I mourn Forever o''er my love within this bourne? |
| 10887 | king art thou, or seer? |
| 10887 | must thou turn to clods? |
| 10887 | my lords and noblemen, And who will bid for her as wife, my men?" |
| 10887 | no?" |
| 10887 | shrieked Izdubar in his despair,"Have I the god of Fate at last met here? |
| 10887 | so you at last have found The Queen can hate, as well as love her friends, And on thy journey Ishtar''s love thee sends? |
| 10887 | what are these sounds within the gloom? |
| 10887 | what are these strains above so sweet That float around, above, their love surround? |
| 10887 | what is that awful lingering shriek And cries of woe, that on his ears wild break? |
| 10887 | what is that dreadful roaring noise? |
| 10887 | what is that strain of melody That fills our souls with grandest euphony? |
| 10887 | what mortal thine own words can learn? |

| 10887 | with thy sweet face? |
| 10887 | wouldst thou tell me the way To Khasisadra? |
| 8539 | A Cantonist, too? |
| 8539 | And if I should ever call you Zhid, will you be angry with me? |
| 8539 | And if you fall in battle? |
| 8539 | And what are you going to do now? |
| 8539 | And what did she tell you? |
| 8539 | And what of it? 8539 And what was the end of it?" |
| 8539 | And what was your father''s name? |
| 8539 | And when did you see him? |
| 8539 | And where is your husband, Marusya? |
| 8539 | And why did he refuse to eat meat? |
| 8539 | And you, Samuel, are you married? |
| 8539 | But if your mother should complain about me? |
| 8539 | But, then, why did she get herself into that trouble? |
| 8539 | Cantonists? |
| 8539 | Did n''t your mother chase me out? |
| 8539 | Did she really kiss you? |
| 8539 | Did you imagine that I do not know it? 8539 Do you remember all that happened to you in those days?" |
| 8539 | Do you think I am going to a feast? 8539 Do you understand, woman? |
| 8539 | Do you want some candy? 8539 Forbidden? |
| 8539 | Have you ever seen such a cry- baby? 8539 Have you forgotten that it is the night of the Fast of the Ninth of Av?" |
| 8539 | How did you ever get it? |
| 8539 | How do you know? |
| 8539 | How does he feel? 8539 If so,"said I,"what is the use of reciting that Psalm? |
| 8539 | Is she alive yet? |
| 8539 | Is she good- looking? |
| 8539 | Is this justice, rabbi? 8539 It is I,"answered I,"and who are you?" |
| 8539 | Marusya,I cried again,"is that the way you are going to treat me?! |
| 8539 | Marusya,said I,"please tell me how do I happen to be here?" |
| 8539 | Marusya?! |
| 8539 | Now where is justice? |
| 8539 | Or maybe your feet hurt you? 8539 Samuel?!" |
| 8539 | So you were going to run away, and that without my knowledge? |
| 8539 | Was he a wine- dealer? |
| 8539 | What ails you, my boy? |
| 8539 | What are they crying about? |
| 8539 | What are you afraid of? |
| 8539 | What did you cry about? |
| 8539 | What did you say was the name of your native town? |
| 8539 | What do you want them for? |
| 8539 | What makes you feel so sure of it? |
| 8539 | What shall I do? |
| 8539 | What, converted?! |
| 8539 | What? |
| 8539 | Where are you going? |
| 8539 | Where can that chanting come from,thought I,"and here in exile, too?" |
| 8539 | Where did that tramp come from? |
| 8539 | Who is there? |
| 8539 | Whose son are you? |
| 8539 | Why are you sitting here? |
| 8539 | Why do n''t you sleep? |
| 8539 | Why do the nations rage, And the peoples imagine a vain thing? |
| 8539 | Why should you go hungry? |
| 8539 | Why? |
| 8539 | Why? |
| 8539 | Without telling me? |
| 8539 | Would you take the trouble to dismount? 8539 Yes; and how do you know it? |
| 8539 | You cursed Jews,he would say,"do I owe you anything that I should suffer so much on your account, and undergo all the hardships of travel?" |
| 8539 | You have paper and pencil in your pocket? |
| 8539 | .?" |
| 8539 | After a brief silence Marusya turned to me:"Why does mother dislike Jews so much? |
| 8539 | After all, I thought, what can the sergeant do to me more than have me whipped? |
| 8539 | And I said to Serge:"You want it badly, Serge, do you? |
| 8539 | And behind her was another face:"Anna?!" |
| 8539 | Anna met him with a frown:"Drunk again?" |
| 8539 | Anna shook her head at me, and said with tears glistening in her eyes:"Poor fellow, and where are you going to?" |
| 8539 | Anna-- a Jewess too?!" |
| 8539 | Are n''t you a Jew? |
| 8539 | Are you of the same town?" |
| 8539 | As far as I can see, you can not speak Russian correctly yourself: why, then, do you spy on others? |
| 8539 | At last Marusya awoke, and exclaimed with glad surprise:"Papa, can you speak Yiddish too?" |
| 8539 | At the same time, was it mere cruelty? |
| 8539 | At this Rebekah turned up her nose, as if ready to blurt out with"How often have you seen me drink liquor?" |
| 8539 | Besides, who could assure me that they would not try again to coax me into renouncing my faith? |
| 8539 | Boys, do you hear? |
| 8539 | But Samuel the individual replies:"Do you remember how many lashes you have suffered on account of these very images?" |
| 8539 | But how about the night, when the animals rested, and did no work? |
| 8539 | But then, they argued, had the Zhid youngsters any right to meddle with their affairs? |
| 8539 | But what can a woman do in the line of beating? |
| 8539 | But, then, is it conceivable that they could have treated us any other way? |
| 8539 | Did I bear and rear children, only to give up my son for the sake of some Avremel?!" |
| 8539 | Did I say melancholy? |
| 8539 | Did they discover you secretly kissing the Arba- Kanfos, and give you as many lashes as there are treads in the Tzitzis? |
| 8539 | Did they flog you with birch- rods for having been caught mumbling a Hebrew prayer? |
| 8539 | Did they make you kneel for hours on sharp stones for having refused to kiss the ikon and the crucifix? |
| 8539 | Did they paint your body with tar, and put you up on the highest shelf in the steam- bath, and choke you with burning steam? |
| 8539 | Did you ever feel that way? |
| 8539 | Do I not try hard to pay off the mortgage on my house, so as to leave it to my children free and clear? |
| 8539 | Do n''t you know her temper? |
| 8539 | Do n''t you recognize me?" |
| 8539 | Do you know what the neighbor did? |
| 8539 | Do you remember the Biblical story of the brazen serpent? |
| 8539 | Do you see little Simeon? |
| 8539 | Do you still murmur against Him, blessed be He?" |
| 8539 | Do you understand? |
| 8539 | Do you want to know what the rabbi did? |
| 8539 | Do you wish to know what a Jew is? |
| 8539 | Does he compel him to drink?" |
| 8539 | Does he compel papa to go there? |
| 8539 | Does he expect to come home?" |
| 8539 | Does n''t she feed me? |
| 8539 | Father began fumbling for his glasses, and asked me:"News from my son, you say? |
| 8539 | For instance, do I not work hard to save up money for my daughter''s dowry, even though I hardly expect her to get married for two years at least? |
| 8539 | For, at bottom, are mere words the main thing? |
| 8539 | Has children?" |
| 8539 | Have you a petition to make of me for something I can grant?" |
| 8539 | Have you ever looked into my Rebekah''s eyes? |
| 8539 | He said to me,''Eatest thou this of thy own free will?'' |
| 8539 | How can I describe it to you? |
| 8539 | How many favors, if you please, have you accepted yourself from Anna? |
| 8539 | I asked myself all kinds of questions: What am I doing here? |
| 8539 | I asked suddenly,"Anna?! |
| 8539 | I opened my eyes, the first time since I lost consciousness, and I exclaimed:"Marusya!?" |
| 8539 | I put myself in his way, stopped him and asked him:"Now listen, you Pollack, how do you come to find out so quickly who is a Jew, and who is not? |
| 8539 | I turned to Marusya:"Where are my clothes?" |
| 8539 | Is he well? |
| 8539 | Is n''t she a mother too?" |
| 8539 | Is that so? |
| 8539 | Is there a father who loves not his offspring? |
| 8539 | Is there an unholy spirit that can not be found there? |
| 8539 | It is by force that we were brought here; so what sense is there in chasing us out?" |
| 8539 | It is into exile that I am going; and what do you run after me for?" |
| 8539 | It was easy enough to say,"Speak no Yiddish"; but did we know how to speak any other language? |
| 8539 | Marusya objected:"Tut, tut, mother, is it any of Moshko''s fault? |
| 8539 | Now do you see the mercy of the Lord, blessed be He? |
| 8539 | Or do you think it is agreeable to feel that little children consider you a hard and cruel man? |
| 8539 | Otherwise what was our preparation for and our training of many years?" |
| 8539 | Perhaps your father gave you a special dispensation in your dreams?" |
| 8539 | Rebekah persisted in her refusal, and Samuel began in a softer tone:"But why does it worry you so much? |
| 8539 | Says Samuel the Jew again:"Do you know what these images are, and to what race they belong?" |
| 8539 | Says Samuel the soldier:"Shame on you, where is your bravery? |
| 8539 | She listened, shivering, and asked in a tremulous voice:"And what did they beat him for?" |
| 8539 | She put on her night robe, came to my bed, and began in a whisper:"Are you sleeping? |
| 8539 | Should I feel insulted if some one were to call me Christian?!" |
| 8539 | Suddenly the door opened, and on the threshold was standing-- do you know who? |
| 8539 | Take, for instance, what I did with the priest: Did I ever expect any honors or profits out of it? |
| 8539 | Then I knew too well that the thick, dark forest was behind me; and what does n''t one find in a forest? |
| 8539 | Then Marusya insisted I should tell her the real truth about the Jews, as they are at home: were they like myself, or like Jacob, the wild one? |
| 8539 | Then father asked me once more:"Married a Gentile? |
| 8539 | Then she wanted to soothe my feelings, and she said wonderingly:"Years? |
| 8539 | Then the rabbi examined us: Did we know our Modeh- Ani by heart? |
| 8539 | To look at the Gentiles, would you ever think them all fools? |
| 8539 | To me it sounded like"Zhid, Zhid, is that the way to treat_ me? |
| 8539 | True, Anna meant to jeer at me and insult me; but did it depend on her alone? |
| 8539 | Was he in the war? |
| 8539 | Was it their property that was being stolen? |
| 8539 | We looked at each other and kept silent: was there anything to be said? |
| 8539 | Were it not more proper to recite Lamentations?" |
| 8539 | Were we not like dumb cattle? |
| 8539 | What are all those people to me? |
| 8539 | What can a few women do against one able- bodied man? |
| 8539 | What did I come here for? |
| 8539 | What does that mean? |
| 8539 | What is it?" |
| 8539 | What, pray, did I do to you? |
| 8539 | When shall we have our hour''s rest?" |
| 8539 | Where did you see him last?" |
| 8539 | Where is the bugle? |
| 8539 | Where should the fodder for the night time come from? |
| 8539 | Who was she anyway, to inherit the property left by old Simeon Khlopov, deceased? |
| 8539 | Who, I thought, had anything in common with Zhidovka if not myself? |
| 8539 | Why, then, did you save me from the rods?" |
| 8539 | Why, then, should I put myself into such trouble? |
| 8539 | Why?" |
| 8539 | You know what I have decided? |
| 8539 | You know what all this reminds me of? |
| 8539 | You''d like to see yourself promoted, to be an officer? |
| 8539 | did we come here of our own free will? |
| 8539 | did we know our Shema? |
| 8539 | how about religion?" |
| 8539 | then I continued, somewhat differently:"I beg of you, mother, is it her fault? |

| 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 | 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?" |
| 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?" |
| 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?" |
| 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 | odorem pudendorum amicà ¦? |
| 5242 | spare strings, etc.? |
| 5242 | what is the matter?'' |
| 5242 | what is thy news? |
| 5242 | what was his affair? |
| 16949 | A few days ago a person entrusted some jewels into my custody, and now he demands them of me; should I give them back again? |
| 16949 | Ah, Rabbi, is there not a saying in Jerusalem,''the salt was wanting to the money?'' |
| 16949 | Ah, who startled the horse? |
| 16949 | And how is my beauteous camel, so strong to bear his load? |
| 16949 | And is this,exclaimed he,"the mighty gift that they bestow on kings and heroes? |
| 16949 | And what are thou, then? |
| 16949 | And what is that paper which he holds? |
| 16949 | And why hast thou done this? |
| 16949 | Are grants known in heaven? |
| 16949 | Art thou not concupiscent? |
| 16949 | Art thou not iracund[ passionate]? |
| 16949 | Art thou not superbe[ proud]? |
| 16949 | As for the god thou speakest of, is he not the work of my own hands?'' 16949 Be not afraid, master, I am fully awake; how, then, can thieves come?" |
| 16949 | Brother Eliezar,said Simon, jestingly,"rememberest thou not what the wise men have said on this subject?" |
| 16949 | But how dost thou explain thy carving of the capon? |
| 16949 | But thy husband''s money? |
| 16949 | But what if they should bring the horses? |
| 16949 | But why didst thou not tell me of thy purpose? 16949 But, Ahmed,"asked the father--"how came he to die?" |
| 16949 | But,said Roger, slily,"you have the_ Barber of Seville_, have you not?" |
| 16949 | Can you explain this phenomenon? |
| 16949 | D''ye think I ca n''t hear? |
| 16949 | Do you know him, then? |
| 16949 | Do you know? 16949 Good sir,"reasoned this lazy philosopher,"admitting that the medicine should produce some effect, what will be the ultimate result? |
| 16949 | Had he but said them the service,interjects the_ fableur_,"should I make you a longer story?" |
| 16949 | Hast thou forgotten,answered his friend,"how Nakdimon, the son of Guryon, was punished because he gave not according to his means?" |
| 16949 | Have you accomplished your mission? |
| 16949 | How do you know he is dumb? |
| 16949 | How many years shall I live? |
| 16949 | How much for that wood? |
| 16949 | How so, madame? |
| 16949 | How so? |
| 16949 | How so? |
| 16949 | How? |
| 16949 | I do n''t mean that, but in what sort of place wast thou born? |
| 16949 | Is it not upon a paper in thy possession? |
| 16949 | Is my doggie, then, dead? |
| 16949 | Is my wife, too, dead? |
| 16949 | Is this the way you act towards strangers? |
| 16949 | My house- dog, too, that guards my gate, pray how is he? |
| 16949 | No,answered the poet;"and what is it, O khalíf of the age?" |
| 16949 | Nor are they to be believed who say that my nose is flat and my cheeks are sunken? |
| 16949 | Nor is my chin double,said she, still farther unveiling her face;"nor my lips thick, like those of a Tartar?" |
| 16949 | O Khoja,quoth the brazier,"can a cauldron die?" |
| 16949 | O brother of the Arabs,said the king,"hast thou heard of our condition?" |
| 16949 | O master,cried the man,"why did you not say so below?" |
| 16949 | O wife,said the Khoja,"what is the matter with you-- is the broth hot?" |
| 16949 | Pray, friend,said he,"what might be your business with the king? |
| 16949 | Sir,said the third dervish, addressing the captain,"shall I, or shall I not, be an unbeliever?" |
| 16949 | So you say,quoth Solomon;"but are you sure of it?" |
| 16949 | Suppose the master of the garden were now to come and call me to account, what would become of me? 16949 Tell me,"said the Ant,"what you did in the summer?" |
| 16949 | Then,said he,"what is the use of my addressing you, since you already know?" |
| 16949 | Then,said the merchant,"how fares my son Ahmed, absence from whom has grieved me sore?" |
| 16949 | Thou, or a tall cypress? |
| 16949 | To carry what? |
| 16949 | True,said the urchin;"but didst thou not tell me to bring thee something of which thou mightest eat, leave, and take home? |
| 16949 | Was I not right? |
| 16949 | Well, what is then the most delicious blood under the heavens? |
| 16949 | Well,persisted the fellow,"he may give me the medicine, but suppose it does you no good?" |
| 16949 | What are thou? |
| 16949 | What are you bawling for? |
| 16949 | What can you do? |
| 16949 | What could be better for man than tongue? |
| 16949 | What did you dream? |
| 16949 | What do you want? |
| 16949 | What fable is this thou art telling me? |
| 16949 | What is all this? |
| 16949 | What is the best blood, according to thy companion? |
| 16949 | What is the matter with you? |
| 16949 | What is the use of poetry? |
| 16949 | What of my camel? |
| 16949 | What sayest thou? |
| 16949 | What then has happened at home? |
| 16949 | What!--of him? 16949 What''s the matter with the little stupid?" |
| 16949 | What, then, can have been thy motive for practising so cruel a deception on one who has never harmed thee? |
| 16949 | Where are my two sons,he asked,"that I may give them my blessing? |
| 16949 | Where can I go to? |
| 16949 | Where is Ishmael? |
| 16949 | Where is my beautiful saddle of many colours and the strings attached thereto, together with my bale of rich merchandise? |
| 16949 | Who art thou? |
| 16949 | Who hath cast this dust on me? |
| 16949 | Who is that fellow? |
| 16949 | Why are you in love with me? |
| 16949 | Why do you cry? |
| 16949 | Why so? |
| 16949 | Why, then, dost thou give thyself this trouble? |
| 16949 | Why, what else could you mean,rejoined the little casuist,"by saying,''Bring_ us_?'' |
| 16949 | Why, what has become of thy father''s money-- the dowry thou receivedst on thy wedding day? |
| 16949 | Wilt thou,said the poet,"send one of the attendants to carry it?" |
| 16949 | ''And what have you got in there? |
| 16949 | ''Why did you not tell me this before? |
| 16949 | ), full great store, Wolde not be shaven, to dye therefore; Why shulde you, then, repyne so sore? |
| 16949 | ***** What doth invest a bishop''s breast, But a milk- white spreading hair? |
| 16949 | A Moghul asked the bird:"Are you really worth a hundred rupís?" |
| 16949 | A pious man passed by him and said:"What is thy monthly salary?" |
| 16949 | Accordingly he asked the first that was going past:"Is this portrait like me?" |
| 16949 | Again, he says:"How can we make a good sword out of bad iron? |
| 16949 | Ah, can such as thou have felt the pangs of death, and be reclined within this narrow cave? |
| 16949 | Am I not as lean as I was before?" |
| 16949 | And Adam, thus speaking to his sons, groaned out loud, and said,"What shall I do? |
| 16949 | And if this is the meat, why has it the form of the cat?" |
| 16949 | And in what bower is now the banquet spread? |
| 16949 | And it was asked one of them:''Who might be called a king?'' |
| 16949 | And through the love of whom does now thy lamp consume? |
| 16949 | And what if the children of folly abuse it to evil? |
| 16949 | And where is now that mole which seemed a grain of musk? |
| 16949 | And where those curling ringlets? |
| 16949 | And whom to captivate do now thy tresses wave? |
| 16949 | And why do you come here?" |
| 16949 | And, staying a little while, he cried out at last, saying,''Where shall we place the holy father?'' |
| 16949 | Anwarí went up to the man, and said:"Sir, whose poems are these you are reciting?" |
| 16949 | Are you fit to be a curé? |
| 16949 | Becoming convinced of the reality of his condition, he said to some men about him, for whom he entertained a friendly feeling:"How is this? |
| 16949 | Beside the margin of what stream is now that cypress seen? |
| 16949 | But O''Attár, I grieve for thee: for how canst thou ever bring thyself to think of death-- to leave all these goods behind thee?" |
| 16949 | But how could they send_ ad ordos_ such ignorant asses? |
| 16949 | But the parrot, taking warning, said,"The steed of Rasálú is swift, what if he should surprise you? |
| 16949 | But when they were going to bed he said to his daughter:''Why, my child, did you cut up the fowl so badly? |
| 16949 | Can he shake his gaunt sides if we be merry with him?" |
| 16949 | Can water wash the Ethiopian white? |
| 16949 | Can we remove the darkness from the night? |
| 16949 | Did I not carve him out of the timber of the tree which I cut down in the wilderness? |
| 16949 | Do you understand it now, my good father?''" |
| 16949 | Does not that word include the hearer as well as the speaker?" |
| 16949 | Emulo not write and read? |
| 16949 | Entering the shop, she said to him, after the usual salutations:"You see my person; can anyone presume to say that I am humpbacked?" |
| 16949 | Every one whose wisdom exceedeth his deeds, to what is he like? |
| 16949 | Finally Solomon put this question to a third judge:"Which is the vilest, and which is the most beautiful? |
| 16949 | For example:"Life is snow, and the summer advanceth; only a small portion remaineth: art thou still slothful?" |
| 16949 | Give me leave to ask, do the citizens of Jerusalem usually carve their capons in this fashion?" |
| 16949 | God will in time redeem her; and when he says:"How could you alone be faithful of all the mocking nations?" |
| 16949 | Hast thou courage to descend into the vault?" |
| 16949 | Having done so,"Now, my lad,"said the stranger,"tell me which of these cheese were made of the milk of white goats and which of black goats?" |
| 16949 | He asked:"What book is this?" |
| 16949 | He asked:''What course is then to be pursued?'' |
| 16949 | He had been thus anticipated by Saádí:"To what shall be likened the tongue in a man''s mouth? |
| 16949 | He praised the Lord at the going out of the Sabbath, drank, and again asked:"Where are my sons, that they too may drink of the cup of blessing?" |
| 16949 | He said:"How should I not be angry? |
| 16949 | He serves them up, however, and when Xanthus asks him what the five mean he replies:"How many feet have two pigs?" |
| 16949 | How comes it, then, that he threatens and seems to hate the worshippers of false gods more than the false gods themselves?" |
| 16949 | How farest thou?'' |
| 16949 | How provest thou that tale? |
| 16949 | How should thy master ever know of it?'' |
| 16949 | How would it become me, who am placed in the uppermost seat of liberality, so that the fame of my bounty is wide spread? |
| 16949 | How, then, could he have done this evil? |
| 16949 | I should like to know if it becomes those rogues of Jews to speak as loud as our Lord? |
| 16949 | If a man steal grain and sow it, should the seed not shoot up out of the earth because it was stolen? |
| 16949 | If this is the cat, where is the meat? |
| 16949 | In like manner did Solomon pray,"Give thy servant an understanding heart,"when the Lord said to him,"What shall I give thee?" |
| 16949 | In what bright hues is now thy form adorned? |
| 16949 | Is he injured?" |
| 16949 | Is mercy hoped for in a tyrant king? |
| 16949 | Is she not a bird- fairy-- a good angel? |
| 16949 | Is the virtue of repentance so great and I knew it not?" |
| 16949 | Is there nothing that will counterpoise it?" |
| 16949 | Is this becoming in one like you? |
| 16949 | Is this the fruit of so much toil and danger and care?" |
| 16949 | Khoja, where did you obtain that ferage?" |
| 16949 | Let us, then, laugh at what is laughable while we are yet clothed in"this muddy vesture of decay,"for, as delightful Elia asks,"Can a ghost laugh? |
| 16949 | Lokman ate it all, upon which his master, greatly astonished, asked him:"How was it possible for you to eat so unpalatable a fruit?" |
| 16949 | Man is right: is he not the only beast who gets drunk at all seasons? |
| 16949 | Man responded:"Is that so? |
| 16949 | May I depone in his name?" |
| 16949 | May I inquire his name?" |
| 16949 | Moreover, where are the people to be found whose daily actions are in accordance with the religion they profess? |
| 16949 | Now in the palace harem there was an old woman, who said to the queen:"How is it that I find thee sorrowful?" |
| 16949 | On being reproached he urges:"But, master, there is no harm in doing a sum in addition and subtraction, is there?" |
| 16949 | On hearing this, the chamberlain said to himself:"What is passing in his mother''s breast? |
| 16949 | On this the wretched man replied:''Dear sir, is it possible you know me not? |
| 16949 | Once his father said to him:"My son, why do you not also say something you know?" |
| 16949 | Once she reproached me, saying:''Art thou not the creature whom my father ransomed from captivity amongst the Franks for ten dínars?'' |
| 16949 | One day he was confessing a poor working man, of whom he asked:"Here, now, my friend, tell me, art thou not ambitious?" |
| 16949 | One is famous among the rest, who being asked by the bishop sitting at the table:''Es tu dignus?'' |
| 16949 | Quoth he:"Since I, who am an old man, should not be pleased with an old woman, how can I expect that a young one would be attached to me?" |
| 16949 | Quoth the Khoja:"When I was above stairs, why did you bring me down?" |
| 16949 | Replied he:"Fairest of earthly creatures, how have I offended thee that thou shouldst make me the subject of thy sport?" |
| 16949 | Responded the Khoja:"Since you believed it could have a young one, why should you not also believe that it could die?" |
| 16949 | Seeing this terrible sight, Máitri exclaimed:''Who are you? |
| 16949 | She replied:"As I have neither flour, nor milk, nor butter, nor oil, nor anything else, what can I leave?" |
| 16949 | Should the king show anger with the prince or his dogs?" |
| 16949 | So the master went to sleep, and three hours after awoke, when he called to his servant:"What are you doing?" |
| 16949 | Solomon, in his love- songs, exclaims:"Who is she that looketh forth in the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun?" |
| 16949 | Somewhat more credible is the tale of the man who taught a parrot to say,"What doubt is there of this?" |
| 16949 | Tell me: What is Everything, and what is Nothing? |
| 16949 | The Khoja accordingly came down, and again said:"What do you want?" |
| 16949 | The Thorn turned round to him and said:"How long, silly bird, wouldst thou be courting the society of the Rose? |
| 16949 | The Turkmans coming from the city asked:"Who is dead in the camp?" |
| 16949 | The beast that they load with books is not profoundly wise and learned: what knoweth his empty skull whether he carrieth fire- wood or books?" |
| 16949 | The bishop says that Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth;--who was the father of Japheth? |
| 16949 | The elk answered:"Sagacious, long- eared associate, what an unseasonable proposal is this? |
| 16949 | The greatest of Persian poets, Firdausí, says of a damsel:"Love ye the moon? |
| 16949 | The king asked:"After what manner shall I expound it?" |
| 16949 | The king replied:"If I should ask that slave of thy father, would he give him to me?" |
| 16949 | The king, having seen this, was much afraid, and exclaimed:"Is not this bird attempting to kill me?" |
| 16949 | The man, with cool effrontery, answered:"What do you say? |
| 16949 | The merchant cried:"What art thou?" |
| 16949 | The new courtier asked him:"Who are you? |
| 16949 | The other coolly replied:"Do you not know me, then? |
| 16949 | The others replied:"No one is dead in the camp; who has died in the city?" |
| 16949 | The others said:"For whom then are ye wailing and lamenting?" |
| 16949 | The owner, seeing the saucepan, asked:"What is this?" |
| 16949 | The parrot said:"What doubt is there of this?" |
| 16949 | The priest went on to ask:"Art thou not a gourmand?" |
| 16949 | The same author asks who but the churchmen of those days of ignorance corrupted and perverted the text of the New Testament? |
| 16949 | The servant having exclaimed in piteous accents:"What is the meaning of this, O master?" |
| 16949 | The stiletto- beard, oh, it makes me afear''d, It is so sharp beneath, For he that doth place a dagger in''s face, What wears he in his sheath? |
| 16949 | The wife, on seeing this, said:"What hast thou done with the golden cup?" |
| 16949 | The woman answered,"The roof is free; what would happen? |
| 16949 | Then quoth he:"Uncle, shall I not sing a little?" |
| 16949 | Then says he,"Why are ye not all seated?" |
| 16949 | Then the wretched man cried out in his agony and said:''O what have I done to merit this torment?'' |
| 16949 | Thereupon he went again before the bishop, and being asked a second time,"Who was the father of the Four Sons of Aymon?" |
| 16949 | They had not gone far when one of them said to the first man:"Here is a mill; did not the king advise you to go into one?" |
| 16949 | This conjecture must be true, else why did she play such a trick, and why did she hatch such a plot, and why did she send the merchant?" |
| 16949 | This courtier, that perceiving, spake to the merchant; and said,"Sir,"quod he,"why do ye weep now?" |
| 16949 | Thou, by craft, and trickery, and intrigue, and plotting, hast brought thy desire from Rome-- what wantonness is this that thou hast done?" |
| 16949 | To earth''s mortality can such as thou be subject, and such as thou within the darkness of the tomb repose? |
| 16949 | To whose fond eyes are now thy charms displayed? |
| 16949 | Turning to another, Solomon inquired:"Which are the most in number, and which are the fewest? |
| 16949 | Wast thou not aware that every summer has its fall and every road an end? |
| 16949 | We must all die some time, and what does it matter whether it be to- day or to- morrow?" |
| 16949 | What benefit will you derive from a basket of flowers? |
| 16949 | What can we do? |
| 16949 | What did Adam therefore do? |
| 16949 | What great treachery is this that thou hast perpetrated?" |
| 16949 | What have I now for all my labour and cunning? |
| 16949 | What is the most certain, and what is the least so?" |
| 16949 | What is the sweetest, and what is the most bitter?" |
| 16949 | What should this avail him? |
| 16949 | When Majnún saw him thus afflicted he said:"What has befallen thee, my brother, that thy soul is thus overpowered? |
| 16949 | When the Samradian asked:"Where is the horse?" |
| 16949 | When the curé came to the Passion he said it in his own peculiar manner, and made the whole church ring when he said,"_ Quem, quæritis_?" |
| 16949 | When the curé had very attentively listened to the good lady,"Is this what you have to say to me, madame?" |
| 16949 | When the door is shut, who can discover whether he deals in jewels or small- wares?" |
| 16949 | When the king heard these words he kissed her and exclaimed:"O my life, what an error is this thou hast committed? |
| 16949 | When the warm blood of youth shall cease to give animation to these elegant limbs of mine, what relish shall I have for pleasure? |
| 16949 | When there is a knock at the door Esop shouts:"What does the dog shake?" |
| 16949 | Where are you going with this load, and what do you carry?'' |
| 16949 | Where is his grave, that we may make there a guest- house?" |
| 16949 | Where those ruby lips? |
| 16949 | Where, then, were his servant and his mother? |
| 16949 | Who gains wisdom? |
| 16949 | Who in this world is free from grief and tears? |
| 16949 | Who is Something, and who is less than Nothing?" |
| 16949 | Who is deserving of honour? |
| 16949 | Who is rich? |
| 16949 | Who is the mighty man? |
| 16949 | Why do you carry that terrible wheel on your head?'' |
| 16949 | Why should they who possess fortune suffer distress by anticipating sorrow? |
| 16949 | Why such wrath? |
| 16949 | Why thus with blood the goblet crown, and all my hopes deceive? |
| 16949 | Why, believest thou not, forsooth, that there stood once a cock on St. Paul''s steeple- top, and drew up the strapples of his breech? |
| 16949 | Why, then, may not I also do the same?" |
| 16949 | Will you not admit_ me_?" |
| 16949 | Would you that the Creator, for the sake of those fools, should ruin his own works, and disturb the laws applied to nature by his own wisdom? |
| 16949 | [ 125] And where those eyes soft as the gazelle''s? |

| 16949 | and what dost thou desire?" |
| 16949 | and why so pale that cheek? |
| 16949 | and why these sable robes?" |
| 16949 | cried the man,"is it the custom of this city for a messenger to take half of what he is sent to purchase?" |
| 16949 | cried the mother,"why hast thou made such a cruel prayer?" |
| 16949 | do you know what I should say unto you?" |
| 16949 | do_ you_ like roast meat too?" |
| 16949 | exclaimed his master, out of all patience,"will you do as I bid you, instead of sitting there so coolly, raising difficulties?" |
| 16949 | exclaimed the captain,"these are truly miraculous gifts; and pray, sir,"said he, turning to the third dervish,"what may_ your_ particular gift be?" |
| 16949 | from vice can goodness ever spring? |
| 16949 | goest thou about to divine other men''s matters, and art ignorant of thine own?" |
| 16949 | hast thou, too, upset some oil- jar? |
| 16949 | have you, too, suffered for telling the truth?" |
| 16949 | he cried,"to what accident do I owe the view of those charms, which are hidden from the eyes of the less fortunate of my sex?" |

| 16949 | thou art indeed charming, and delightful are thy fruits-- delicious and exquisite; but of what benefit art thou to me? |
| 16949 | to which the bird answered very readily:"What doubt is there of this?" |
| 16949 | what are you doing?" |
| 16949 | what dirt is this you have made me eat?" |
| 16949 | what fate severe is this on one so helpless? |
| 16949 | what shall I do, or what resource attempt, as like a lamp I waste away? |
| 16949 | wife, how shall I come down?" |
| 16949 | wouldst thou hesitate or be reluctant to restore to every one his own?" |
| 16949 | ye who vainly toil and wealth Amass-- O sinful men, the soul Will leave its nest; where then will be The buried treasure that you lose? |
| 16949 | you-- what''s the matter?" |
| 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?" |
| 7095 | ''And why?'' 7095 ''What is this way?'' |
| 7095 | And have you at present these two children? |
| 7095 | And what is the sovereign''s name? |
| 7095 | Are there not others for that discipline? 7095 Asraf- el- Kaum,"said the prince,"where did you find such fresh and delicious water? |
| 7095 | Biyapri,said the prince,"whence do you come, and why did you act thus?" |
| 7095 | Chirine answered:''Put this question to the fisherman,Is this a fresh- water or a salt- water fish?" |
| 7095 | Did they not give their child to me? 7095 Has the King been touched by Satan, or has he lost his wits? |
| 7095 | Have I forgot my noble birth? |
| 7095 | Have I,he asked,"A sister? |
| 7095 | How many dead? 7095 How,"said they,"dare we present ourselves before his Majesty in his present state of anger against us?" |
| 7095 | If you kill him, what can I do but to submit to the will of God, and invoke his name? |
| 7095 | If your dream is not an illusion,said the latter,"what is the sign?" |
| 7095 | In hard and calamitous times, how does your King conduct himself? |
| 7095 | In the daily receptions how does your King behave? |
| 7095 | Is it a child celestial? |
| 7095 | Is there no child? |
| 7095 | It is true,said the Sultan;"how could you say it was good?" |
| 7095 | My dear,He said,"by what names are thy parents known?" |
| 7095 | My lord,he asked,"is Badang stronger than I am? |
| 7095 | O King, with spirits what hast thou to do? 7095 Ruby, gold,"he said,"My soul, my life, oh, say, where wouldst thou go? |
| 7095 | Say what bring ye here? 7095 Son, where goest thou?" |
| 7095 | The Caliph inquired,''What is there in this kettle?'' 7095 There is, then,"he said,"another world beside ours?" |
| 7095 | What are you doing here? |
| 7095 | What bitter grief hath caused thee thus to sleep? |
| 7095 | What do you want of me? |
| 7095 | What embarrassment? 7095 What have I to live for now? |
| 7095 | What is the price? 7095 What is this language in which the King is speaking?" |
| 7095 | What is thy visit''s purpose? |
| 7095 | What may it mean? |
| 7095 | What need brings you here to- night? |
| 7095 | What shall we do? |
| 7095 | Whence does he come? |
| 7095 | Where can we further look? |
| 7095 | Where goest thou, My brother? |
| 7095 | Who are you? |
| 7095 | Who can he be? |
| 7095 | Who is this most distinguished stranger here? |
| 7095 | Why should I Be long away? |
| 7095 | Why,said he,"were you willing, with a word, to cause the loss of many men and countries?" |
| 7095 | Ye are afraid Of demons, spectres, spirits? 7095 A certain day It chanced that Bidasari said:O King, Why goest thou no more within the gates Of that thine other palace? |
| 7095 | A long time afterward the Sultan Zayad asked,"At what place in my kingdom do they fear robbers most of all?" |
| 7095 | After this he asked,"Who has not come to present himself before me on this day of rejoicing?" |
| 7095 | Am I To rest in peace and see thy beauty grow, And thee become my rival with the King?" |
| 7095 | And by what means could it be achieved?" |
| 7095 | And dost thou give command to bring her here? |
| 7095 | And he said to himself,"Now, what can be the aim of these people giving me all this?" |
| 7095 | And if you kill my children, what can I do against the decree of God, save to invoke his name?" |
| 7095 | And the King replied:"My friend, my fairest, who is like to thee? |
| 7095 | And the King said:"O minister, how should I not be sad and disturbed? |
| 7095 | And whose This palace beautiful?" |
| 7095 | And why art thou not willing he should go? |
| 7095 | And why did you behave thus about my portrait?" |
| 7095 | And why did you show so much joy in reading it?" |
| 7095 | And you thought that we sent you to look after your own personal interests, and neglect those of the nation?" |
| 7095 | And you, cadi, why do you act so? |
| 7095 | Aristotle replied:"The reflection of the Sultan is just, for what, in truth, is the world? |
| 7095 | Art thou not glad to see thy daughter made A queen? |
| 7095 | Asraf- el- Kaum, astonished and moved with admiration, thought in his heart:"Is this a human creature, or is it a peri?" |
| 7095 | At the approach of night the_ mantris_ said,"What doth the King so long away from us?" |
| 7095 | At the end of several days he asked,"Is there anyone of distinction in the country who has not come to present himself before me?" |
| 7095 | Bidasari thought,"What wrong have I committed, that the Queen Should be so vexed with me?" |
| 7095 | But one thing troubled him:"He straight inquired,''Hath not the prince, my son, the liberty To come back home?''" |
| 7095 | But say what thou didst seek, to stay So long? |
| 7095 | But since thou lovest me, how dare I lie? |
| 7095 | But suddenly the thought came to her mind,"Who knows there is none more fair than I?" |
| 7095 | But the merchant said:"Why come ye here in so great numbers?" |
| 7095 | But the proud Queen, her face all red with hate:"Why stay ye? |
| 7095 | But the_ dyangs_ Among themselves kept saying:"How can we Take her away? |
| 7095 | But was I not Within thy palace six or seven nights? |
| 7095 | But what can I do? |
| 7095 | But when, alas, at home The princess questions us, what shall we say? |
| 7095 | But why dishonor us thus?" |
| 7095 | But you, whom I seek, oh, where are you?" |
| 7095 | But, now, what can I do since you tell me nothing?" |
| 7095 | Can I not have her taken back myself?" |
| 7095 | Can this be the cause of all The solitude which reigns?" |
| 7095 | Chehr- en- Naoui said to his officers:"Which of you would be able to take the King of Samoudra?" |
| 7095 | Clasping her in his arms and kissing her, the prince asked her:"Why, until this day have you not told the truth to your husband?" |
| 7095 | Did ye not care for her? |
| 7095 | Do you not blush before the face of my ancestor the prophet Mahomet, the envoy of God? |
| 7095 | Dost thou belong Unto the race of demons and of spectres? |
| 7095 | Dost thou seek By crying to attract the King, to see Thy beauty? |
| 7095 | Doth shame not fill your parents''hearts?" |
| 7095 | Fair Bidasari said:"My sister dear, Sweet Mendoudari, when wilt thou return? |
| 7095 | For I am but a stranger, a lost child, And who should think of me or love me true?" |
| 7095 | For what cause Hath he his daughter left in this far spot? |
| 7095 | For who in all the land would dare prevent The King from marrying? |
| 7095 | From the interior of the tomb Sidi Ali answered:"Where would the prince go? |
| 7095 | Hast thou brought me here to beat? |
| 7095 | Hast thou no pity to bestow on me?" |
| 7095 | Hast thou no pity, dear, To see thy father overwhelmed with woe? |
| 7095 | Hast thou no pity, sweet, For me? |
| 7095 | Have you then no fear of God the most high and worthy of all praise? |
| 7095 | He answered then:"Who art thou? |
| 7095 | He asked,"What is the name of this tree against which I have been leaning?" |
| 7095 | He asked:"Whence come you and why did you come here?" |
| 7095 | He heard the noise As of a fray, and, angry, asked the guard,"Whence comes this noise?" |
| 7095 | He kissed her lips, to her a_ sepah_ gave, And said with tender voice:"My darling wife, What dost thou wish? |
| 7095 | He listened stupefied, and said:"How could It be that thou wert in the palace hid, And I not see thee there? |
| 7095 | He questioned his ambassador about the word, saying,"Did you hear that exact word from the mouth of King Darius?" |
| 7095 | He said to him,"Who are you?" |
| 7095 | He said to himself:"What will become of them, here, under the earth? |
| 7095 | He said to his ministers and to his officers:"What must be done to repel this invading multitude? |
| 7095 | He said:"How can that poor Hatim equal in generosity a great king like me? |
| 7095 | He sat upon the couch, and to himself He said:"If it a phantom be, why are The eyes so firmly shut? |
| 7095 | He took Her in his arms and cried, with kisses warm:"Why hast thou suffered, apple of my eye?" |
| 7095 | He, prostrating himself, said:"The pilgrimage of his Majesty would be an excellent work, but is it of absolute necessity? |
| 7095 | Hearing these words of the Bedouin, the young man said:"What could I do? |
| 7095 | His first minister said to him, bowing low:"O my lord, King of the world, why does your Majesty wish to go hunting in foreign countries?" |
| 7095 | How can I be sure of this?" |
| 7095 | How canst thou go, Since we have met? |
| 7095 | How could I Not love thee, dear, and cling to thee for life? |
| 7095 | How could I not love A being fair as thou dost seem to me? |
| 7095 | How could I, then, betray him? |
| 7095 | How could it be possible for us to disobey your commands?" |
| 7095 | How could the Queen treat Bidasari so? |
| 7095 | How does he govern them?" |
| 7095 | How have you wandered into this country? |
| 7095 | How is it possible that anyone can dare to mention the name of Hatim- Thai in my presence as the most generous of men?" |
| 7095 | How, then, could I make a wry face over one bitter morsel? |
| 7095 | I A poor and feeble orphan am, and how Should I the love deserve of a great prince?" |
| 7095 | I always have prepared for thee The food for thy great hunts, but never yet Have I received a recompense?" |
| 7095 | I replied,''O my lord, king of the world, what is this affair?'' |
| 7095 | If I''m the daughter of a King, Why hath he left me here, and never sought For me through all these years? |
| 7095 | If harm befell him, what would be our fate? |
| 7095 | If she appeared Unto thine eyes more beautiful than I, Then would thy heart not burn for her?" |
| 7095 | If some misfortune were to overwhelm Wouldst thou be true to me?" |
| 7095 | If we should make a rampart of the trunks of banana- trees, would not that be better?" |
| 7095 | If you are going into the operations of commerce who will look after the government? |
| 7095 | If you buy and sell, what will become of the merchants? |
| 7095 | If your slave is vanquished will it not cast some discredit on the sovereign? |
| 7095 | In what to thee Hath she been wanting, that thou shouldst repel Her thus? |
| 7095 | In whom can you trust to protect the country and watch over the palace?" |
| 7095 | Into her father''s arms she threw Herself, and cried:"Why wilt thou leave me here, O father dearest, in this desert lone? |
| 7095 | Is he ill?" |
| 7095 | Is it For princes thus to we d a merchant''s child? |
| 7095 | Is it a demon? |
| 7095 | Is it a djinn? |
| 7095 | Is it a ghost? |
| 7095 | Is it because I met thy every wish That thou art grown so bad? |
| 7095 | Is it for thee to strike?" |
| 7095 | Is it riches or physical beauty or noble birth? |
| 7095 | Is it thine own wish or the merchant''s? |
| 7095 | Is that worth talking about and making so much ado? |
| 7095 | Its words Astonished Bidasari, and she cried:"Art thou a pirate? |
| 7095 | King Chah Djouhou said to her:"O my young wife, dear princess, are your father and mother still living? |
| 7095 | King Chah Djouhou said:"If it is thus, why then does my princess shed tears?" |
| 7095 | King Harmuz wrote to his minister the following response:"What are 200,000 tahil? |
| 7095 | King Souran meditated thus:"Behold, the contents of the land is known to me, but how can I learn the contents of the sea? |
| 7095 | Meanwhile the princess Lila Sari called Before her the_ dyangs_ and questioned them:"Why have ye come so late?" |
| 7095 | Meanwhile the slave said to himself:"Who is it who eats the fish caught in my net? |
| 7095 | My brother, why have I thy face not seen For two long days?" |
| 7095 | Now those_ dyangs_ are sad And languish after thee, but fear the King, Dost thou not think, O Queen, thou ill hast wrought? |
| 7095 | O Bidasari, why art thou so still? |
| 7095 | O Queen, art thou Without compassion?" |
| 7095 | O daughter dear, so young, so pure, so sweet, What hast thou done that could the Queen displease, That she should send thee home like this to me? |
| 7095 | Oh, how can I live?" |
| 7095 | Oh, what can I say? |
| 7095 | Oh, why Art thou now angry with me? |
| 7095 | One day he asked the grandees of his court,"Are there in my kingdom any places deserted and without inhabitants?" |
| 7095 | One day the King said to the minister:"What is your opinion concerning the act of Sultan Melik- el- Mansour?" |
| 7095 | One of his companions asked him:"Why were you so disturbed? |
| 7095 | One of your 8,000 dirhems was lost and you deferred your journey until you had found it? |
| 7095 | Or how shall I withdraw them hence?" |
| 7095 | Or is it the spirit of justice? |
| 7095 | Out spake the King:"Now what is that I hear? |
| 7095 | Prithee tell me why I should not love thee? |
| 7095 | Pure gold, all virginal, Where wouldst thou go?" |
| 7095 | Say, why do ye think That she''s more fair than I?" |
| 7095 | Shall we to- morrow morn Return?" |
| 7095 | She kissed him and inquired,"Whom hast thou brought?" |
| 7095 | She looked attentively at the face of Hestri as he was passing by the house and called to him saying:"Hestri, what brings you here?" |
| 7095 | She saw the King and thought,"What fine young man is this he bringeth here?" |
| 7095 | She thought within herself:"Who could have used it? |
| 7095 | She thought,"So cruel was the Queen to me When she but feared a rival, what would come If I should sit beside her on the throne?" |
| 7095 | So he addressed his ministers and his military chiefs and spoke to them as follows:"O you all, my subjects, my officers, what is your opinion? |
| 7095 | Some trouble hast thou, dearest one?" |
| 7095 | Speak to thy father, O my child, My pearl, my gem of women, purest gold, Branch of my heart; canst thou not quiet me? |
| 7095 | Straight he went Into the palace, to the Queen, who asked:"What bringest thou from hunting?" |
| 7095 | Sultan Zayad, having heard this response, said:"Your words are true, but what can I do? |
| 7095 | Tell me what is the cause of your tears?" |
| 7095 | Tell me why have ye concealed Her far away? |
| 7095 | Tell me, wilt thou take A letter to the King of Kembajat-- To prove to him we live?" |
| 7095 | The Bedouin answered:"O my lord, king of the world, what is your Majesty''s will?" |
| 7095 | The King asked again,"And in council how speaks your King?" |
| 7095 | The King asked,"Of what nature is the affection of your King for his subjects?" |
| 7095 | The King of Roum, continuing, said:"What is the cause of the loss of your daughter?" |
| 7095 | The King replied with sorrow:"Brother mine, Why wilt thou go so soon? |
| 7095 | The King replied:"Why dost Thou bring them here, my uncle? |
| 7095 | The King said to him:"My lord, whence do you come? |
| 7095 | The King said,"Minister of the country of Damas, have you any sons?" |
| 7095 | The King said,"Where is this son of whose existence I have been unaware?" |
| 7095 | The King with tears exclaimed,"How can we take The infant with us o''er this stony road Beset with thorns, and burned with dreadful heat? |
| 7095 | The Princess Mendoudari said with tears:"And art thou mad enough hither to come? |
| 7095 | The Sultan asked:"Who among you had no luck?" |
| 7095 | The Sultan said:"Can you swear to it?" |
| 7095 | The Sultan said:"O Ayaz, are our presents without value in your eyes, that you disdain them? |
| 7095 | The Sultan said:"What is this_ campong_ here? |
| 7095 | The daughter of the painter said:"O my lord, king of the world, how could your servant disobey your Majesty''s commands?" |
| 7095 | The fakir asked him:"What is the name of this country?" |
| 7095 | The gentle girl Was much afraid and trembled, and she thought:"Is it a spirit come to find me here? |
| 7095 | The good Queen wept and said:"O my beloved, What shall I say? |
| 7095 | The guardian of the gate demanded,"Who is there?" |
| 7095 | The inhabitants, astonished at the sight, said:"Why does he stoop so and prostrate himself so?" |
| 7095 | The latter said to his minister,"O minister, where is the à � thiopian whom they brought here?" |
| 7095 | The latter said:"O my vezir, is there in my kingdom a man who knows how to paint?" |
| 7095 | The latter, full of wrath, demanded:"Why are you late? |
| 7095 | The latter, turning away his face, said to the Sultan,"What connection is there between you and me?" |
| 7095 | The merchant said:"''Tis very well For where can one lodge better than within The palace?" |
| 7095 | The merchant tenderly Said,"Bidasari, dear, what has thou wrought To cause the Queen against thee thus to act?" |
| 7095 | The minister bowed low and said,"When shall your son, the prince, present himself?" |
| 7095 | The minister, noticing this continual sadness of the King, said:"O king of the world, what has come over the heart of your Majesty? |
| 7095 | The ministers said,"And why should we not follow the commands of my lord?" |
| 7095 | The oldest_ mantri_, called for counsel, spoke:"Lila Djouhara good, what sayest thou? |
| 7095 | The prince had asked,"When comes the spirit- king?" |
| 7095 | The prince looked in his face And said:"Can I confide in him? |
| 7095 | The prince observed him there, and said, with smiles:"Young man, my friend, from what far town art thou? |
| 7095 | The prince of the believers, Omar, hearing these words, went to the woman, and with a salutation said,''May I approach?'' |
| 7095 | The prince said to him:"O painter, have you a daughter who knows how to paint?" |
| 7095 | The prince said:"Painter, is this your daughter?" |
| 7095 | The prince said:"Ã � thiopian robber, why did you act thus in reference to this picture?" |
| 7095 | The prince then asked of his officers and servants:"Which of you can get me water? |
| 7095 | The prince, who was not far from there, heard her, and as the princess did not stop weeping he asked her:"O princess, why do you weep thus? |
| 7095 | The princess Djouher- Manikam answered:"Why not? |
| 7095 | The princess answered:''If you kill my child it will be by the judgment of God, and what can I do but to invoke his name?'' |
| 7095 | The princess demanded,''O my minister, why do you come here?'' |
| 7095 | The princess replied:"For what reason should I wish to be king in this country? |
| 7095 | The princess said:"Wherefore art thou So spirited to- day? |
| 7095 | The princess said:''Have you no fear of God the most high? |
| 7095 | The princess then said:"Is that what brings you here? |
| 7095 | The princess wept, and at the door she cried:"Why takest thou my little ornament?" |
| 7095 | The sheik asked:"Who are you? |
| 7095 | The spouses said:"Whose child is this? |
| 7095 | The vezir replied:"Would you like to have us make you King of this country?" |
| 7095 | The young man answered:"O my brother, what is this difficult and delicate affair which prevents you from staying here? |
| 7095 | Then Dang Bidouri said:"We''ll do our best before the Queen; and why Should she not grant to Bidasari this?" |
| 7095 | Then Sinapati beat his breast and said:"What hath become of my dear patron, then?" |
| 7095 | Then answered the master:"How have you been able to do this, single- handed, so quickly and in one job?" |
| 7095 | Then asked the King of her,"Whom hast Thou beaten now?" |
| 7095 | Then he said:"Woman, what is your country? |
| 7095 | Then pleasantly he said:"Pray, truly tell What is thine origin? |
| 7095 | Then said the King:"Where is thy sister? |
| 7095 | Then she said:"I''ve one to take The place of parents, but where shall I find A brother?" |
| 7095 | Then spake the little bird:"Illustrious King, What seek''st thou here? |
| 7095 | Then the King addressed King Souran himself and said,"Who are you, and whence do you come?" |
| 7095 | Then the King with smiles Lila Mengindra questioned,"Who is this Thou hither bringest, of such noble mien And amiable face?" |
| 7095 | Then the Sultan asked,"Why has he not done so? |
| 7095 | Then the mighty King Of Kembajat inquired of his dear wife:"What think''st thou, love? |
| 7095 | Then the old King said:"Why didst thou come in person? |
| 7095 | Then the oldest said:"O sovereign lord, O caliph great, wilt thou Not now return?" |
| 7095 | Then the prince said:"O my minister, where is Biyapri? |
| 7095 | Then the prince, addressing the ambassador, asked:"With what commission is our brother charged?" |
| 7095 | Then the princess asked him,"What is your desire in coming here to my dwelling?" |
| 7095 | Then the princess said in her heart:"What in the world is that? |
| 7095 | Then the young prince bowed his head And pondered,"Shall I lie?" |
| 7095 | Then was she glad, and spoke with joy To Bidasari:"Say what signifies The fish to thee? |
| 7095 | They rose and said:"What doth the King so long? |
| 7095 | They said:"We are the kings of vast countries, and shall we suffer a simple subject of an Arab sultan to be counted as more generous than we are?" |
| 7095 | This prince asked,"What man is this?" |
| 7095 | Thou dost at Indrapura live, but who May be thy patron there?" |
| 7095 | Tjendra Melinee answered him,"Are two timbangs too much?" |
| 7095 | To whom could Bidasari turn? |
| 7095 | To whom does this belong? |
| 7095 | Unto himself he said:"Can this domain A habitation be of demons dread And spirits? |
| 7095 | Was she a burden that ye must forsake Her thus? |
| 7095 | Were there a woman with an angel- face, Wouldst them make her thy wife? |
| 7095 | What are 400,000 tahil, profit included? |
| 7095 | What could she say? |
| 7095 | What could we do? |
| 7095 | What did the writing say? |
| 7095 | What do I lack in your eyes? |
| 7095 | What do you want of me?" |
| 7095 | What good are these subterfuges?" |
| 7095 | What hath forced him here Within this lonely wood to hide thee, dear? |
| 7095 | What have you done? |
| 7095 | What is thy name? |
| 7095 | What is your father''s name?" |
| 7095 | What means This vision?" |
| 7095 | What must be done?" |
| 7095 | What must be your nature, that you should so betray his trust?" |
| 7095 | What of the_ mantris_? |
| 7095 | What other means could I employ?" |
| 7095 | What prevents? |
| 7095 | What recompense can we present?" |
| 7095 | What shall I do with it?" |
| 7095 | What shall we say when we thy parents see? |
| 7095 | What sight So strange hath kept thee all these hours?" |
| 7095 | What thoughts Arise in thee and make thy visage dark?" |
| 7095 | What voice is that so sorrowful and sweet?" |
| 7095 | What was your motive in doing a thing that has the approbation of nobody?" |
| 7095 | What will it be when he has grown up? |
| 7095 | What would become of me if I should do such a thing?'' |
| 7095 | When I am with your Majesty, and your Majesty is with me, what do I lack? |
| 7095 | When his master saw this work he said:"Who has cleared our land? |
| 7095 | When may I go Before the King and see her? |
| 7095 | When shall we arrive there? |
| 7095 | When the prince saw this present he asked:"What do you want of me?" |
| 7095 | When the princess saw him enter her tent she asked him:"O my minister, what brings you to my tent at this hour in the middle of the night?" |
| 7095 | Where can she be?" |
| 7095 | Where has she taken refuge? |
| 7095 | Where is all that which you say you found?" |
| 7095 | Where is the key, that I may ope the door?" |
| 7095 | Where may its like be found? |
| 7095 | Where now Art thou? |
| 7095 | Where wert Thou hid? |
| 7095 | Where wouldst thou go, my dove?" |
| 7095 | Where wouldst thou go? |
| 7095 | While this was happening a young boy said:"Why make thus a rampart of our legs? |
| 7095 | Who dares Oppose my will? |
| 7095 | Who is that young prince, So called, who hither came? |
| 7095 | Who knoweth but that she, in mortal shape, An angel fair may be? |
| 7095 | Who, then, has more luck than I have?" |
| 7095 | Who, therefore, O king of the world, among all those who vaunt themselves as having luck, has more than I have?" |
| 7095 | Whom shall we call, lest spectres should appear?" |
| 7095 | Whose child are you, and what is your name?" |
| 7095 | Whose strange voice is this I hear, The while I no one see? |
| 7095 | Why art thou So motionless? |
| 7095 | Why art thou not gay? |
| 7095 | Why did you refrain from appearing before me at court to- day, at the same time with the ministers and grandees? |
| 7095 | Why do n''t you pay attention to my orders?" |
| 7095 | Why do you act so to me? |
| 7095 | Why do you conduct yourself in this fashion toward me?" |
| 7095 | Why dost Thou leave me here?" |
| 7095 | Why dost thou come here? |
| 7095 | Why dost thou weep so bitterly? |
| 7095 | Why have they treated thee In such a fashion-- why abandoned thee In solitude? |
| 7095 | Why must I live? |
| 7095 | Why should she render thee Unhappy? |
| 7095 | Why should we linger here? |
| 7095 | Why shouldst thou leave us now? |
| 7095 | Why then should I hesitate a moment for a superb cloak of scarlet?" |
| 7095 | Why was it thou Wert not beside the Queen? |
| 7095 | Why, now that you are here, are you the only one to wear a sad and mournful appearance and a long face, while all the others show their joy? |
| 7095 | Why, then, should his Majesty be so much disturbed over the weakening of his physical forces?" |
| 7095 | Wilt thou not, alas?" |
| 7095 | With many blows and angry words, she said:"Why dost thou groan so loudly? |
| 7095 | Would it have been just for me to send you letters and cause the fall of one who had been so bountiful to me?" |
| 7095 | Yet if we make Unhappy this dear girl of these good folk, Shall we not sin? |
| 7095 | he cried,"here indeed is your picture, but where can I find you?" |
| 7095 | he said;"are you woman or djinn?" |
| 7095 | the father cried,"my dear, In whose care art thou now? |
| 7095 | thought the King,"Or doth she feign to sleep? |
| 7095 | what were you trying to do with all your signs?" |
| 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? |
| 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?" |
| 10056 | ''A Sage and a Philanthropist?'' 10056 ''His words-- uttered with difficulty?''" |
| 10056 | ''Who can give it to him?'' 10056 A rude life,"said some one;--"how could you put up with it?" |
| 10056 | Am I, indeed,said the Master,"possessed of knowledge? |
| 10056 | And after enriching them, what more would you do for them? |
| 10056 | And are not those who, while not comprehending all that is said, still remain not unpleased to hear, men of the superior order? |
| 10056 | And can he be said to be wise who, with a liking for taking part in the public service, is constantly letting slip his opportunities? |
| 10056 | And if you are obliged to give up one of the remaining two, which would it be? |
| 10056 | And what call you the five excellences? |
| 10056 | And with you, Kung- si, how would it be? |
| 10056 | And with you, Tsang Sin? |
| 10056 | And you, too, Tsz- kung,he continued,"have your aversions, have you not?" |
| 10056 | Are such available? |
| 10056 | As to those of whom you are uncertain, will others omit to notice them? |
| 10056 | But Yen, then-- he had a State in view, had he not? |
| 10056 | But had not Kung- si also a State in view? |
| 10056 | But two tithings would not be enough for my purposes,said the duke;"what would be the good of applying the Statute?" |
| 10056 | But was he a man of fellow- feeling? |
| 10056 | But was he a man of fellow- feeling? |
| 10056 | But was not Kwan Chung wanting in good- will? 10056 But,"he asked,"how am I to know the sagacious and talented, before promoting them?" |
| 10056 | But,said the disciple,"if you can not really have all three, and one has to be given up, which would you give up first?" |
| 10056 | Can any do otherwise than assent to words said to them by way of correction? 10056 Can it be so?" |
| 10056 | Ch''ang,said he,"is wanton; where do you get at his inflexibleness?" |
| 10056 | Does Heaven ever speak? |
| 10056 | Does a gentleman,asked Tsz- lu,"make much account of bravery?" |
| 10056 | Does that make them''superior men''? |
| 10056 | From what do you know that I am competent to that? |
| 10056 | Had they any feelings of resentment? |
| 10056 | He knew the Rules of Propriety, I suppose? |
| 10056 | He of Lu? |
| 10056 | How is it possible indeed to serve one''s prince in their company? 10056 How shall I dare,"he replied,"even to look at Hwúi? |
| 10056 | How should I dare to die,said he,"while you, sir, still lived?" |
| 10056 | How should such a rule of life,asked the Master,"be sufficient to make any one good?" |
| 10056 | How then,he answered,"would you requite kindness? |
| 10056 | How would you describe those who are at present in the government service? |
| 10056 | How,exclaimed the Master,"can such words be appropriated in the ancestral hall of the Three Families?" |
| 10056 | If I were to take a raft, and drift about on the sea, would Tsz- lu, I wonder, be my follower there? |
| 10056 | If the''superior man''make nought of social good feeling, how shall he fully bear that name? 10056 If you would know one who without effort ruled well, was not Shun such a one? |
| 10056 | If your Majesty say,''What is to be done to profit my kingdom?'' 10056 If your Majesty wishes to carry out a benevolent government, why not turn back to what is the essential step to its attainment? |
| 10056 | In the Declaration of T''ang it is said,''O Sun, when wilt thou expire? 10056 Is it not this,"he replied--"to make that which is of benefit to the people still more beneficial? |
| 10056 | Is it so bad as that? |
| 10056 | Is not this apropos in such cases? |
| 10056 | Is that the case with him? |
| 10056 | Is that what is meant by proper regard for one''s fellow- creatures? |
| 10056 | Is the philanthropic spirit far to seek, indeed? |
| 10056 | Is there, then,he asked,"one sentence which, if acted upon, would have the effect of ruining a country?" |
| 10056 | May I ask, please, what these are? |
| 10056 | May I presume,said his questioner,"to ask what sort you would put next to such?" |
| 10056 | May I still venture to ask whom you would place next in order? |
| 10056 | May they not be of use to the villages and hamlets around you? |
| 10056 | Nothing more than that? |
| 10056 | O Heaven, what crimes have we to own, That death and ruin still come down? 10056 Of that I am not sure,"he answered;"how am I to get at that?" |
| 10056 | Of that I am not sure,he replied;"how am I to get at that?" |
| 10056 | Of what sort? |
| 10056 | Once, though, he was standing alone when I was hurrying past him over the vestibule, and he said,''Are you studying the Odes?'' 10056 Say you, is there any one who is able for one whole day to apply the energy of his mind to this virtue? |
| 10056 | Sir,replied Confucius,"in the administration of government why resort to capital punishment? |
| 10056 | Sir,said Tsz- kung,"how comes it to pass that no one knows you?" |
| 10056 | Sir,said Tsz- kung,"if you were never to speak, what should your pupils have to hand down from you?" |
| 10056 | So far as I have to do with others, whom do I over- censure? 10056 So then Tsz- chang is the better of the two, is he?" |
| 10056 | Suppose that he take his duty to his fellow- men as his peculiar burden, is that not indeed a heavy one? 10056 Take Tsz- hwa, then; what of him?" |
| 10056 | That is the man,said he,"who knows things are not up to the mark, and is making some ado about them, is it not?" |
| 10056 | That, and yet no more? |
| 10056 | There is Yu''s harpsichord,exclaimed the Master--"what is it doing at my door?" |
| 10056 | Those men are right,they fiercely say,"What mean your words so bold?" |
| 10056 | Those men are right,they fiercely say,"What mean your words so loud?" |
| 10056 | To have associates in study coming to one from distant parts-- does not this also mean pleasure in store? 10056 Tsz- lu,"said the Master,"you have heard of the six words with their six obfuscations?" |
| 10056 | Was he miserly? |
| 10056 | Was not Tsang Wan like one who surreptitiously came by the post he held? 10056 Well, are they then,"he asked,"such as will follow their leader?" |
| 10056 | Well, is not putting duty first, and success second, a way of raising the standard of virtue? 10056 What are ancestral temples and Grand Receptions, but for the feudal lords to take part in? |
| 10056 | What harm? |
| 10056 | What mean you,asked Tsz- chang,"by bounty without extravagance?" |
| 10056 | What rudeness would there be,he replied,"if a''superior man''was living in their midst?" |
| 10056 | What say you then of Yen Yu? |
| 10056 | What says your Master? |
| 10056 | What, I wonder, do you mean by one who is influential? |
| 10056 | What, then, do you call the four evils? |
| 10056 | What, then, if they all disliked him? |
| 10056 | When there is ability in a ruler to govern a country by adhering to the Rules of Propriety, and by kindly condescension, what is wanted more? 10056 Where a man,"said he again,"has not the proper feelings due from one man to another, how will he stand as regards the Rules of Propriety? |
| 10056 | Where from? |
| 10056 | Where there is difficulty in doing,the Master replied,"will there not be some difficulty in utterance?" |
| 10056 | Who can go out but by that door? 10056 Why did you smile at Tsz- lu, sir?" |
| 10056 | Why must you name Káu- tsung? |
| 10056 | Why not apply the Tithing Statute? |
| 10056 | Why should he really do so? |
| 10056 | Why so late? |
| 10056 | Why so much ado,said the Master,"at my merely permitting his approach, and not rather at my allowing him to draw back? |
| 10056 | With one who does not come to me inquiring''What of this?'' 10056 Yen,"said Confucius,"does not the fault lie with you? |
| 10056 | Yen,said he,"how would it be with you?" |
| 10056 | You are a follower of Confucius of Lu, are you not? |
| 10056 | ''Etiquette demands it,''so people plead,"said he;"but do not these hankerings after jewels and silks indeed demand it? |
| 10056 | --"I do,"he replied;"is it not so?" |
| 10056 | --"Too much?" |
| 10056 | A high State official, after questioning Tsz- kung, said,"Your Master is a sage, then? |
| 10056 | A person remarked to him,"Can you not yet bear to withdraw?" |
| 10056 | Abruptly he asked me,''How can the kingdom, all under the sky, be settled?'' |
| 10056 | Addressing Tsz- kung, the Master said,"Which of the two is ahead of the other-- yourself or Hwúi?" |
| 10056 | Addressing Tsz- kung, the Master said,"You regard me as one who studies and stores up in his mind a multiplicity of things-- do you not?" |
| 10056 | Afterwards, when Fan Ch''i was driving him, the Master informed him of this question and answer, and Fan Ch''i asked,"What was your meaning?" |
| 10056 | Again,"Let a ruler but see to his own rectitude, and what trouble will he then have in the work before him? |
| 10056 | Alluding to the matter of the Chief of the Ki family worshipping on Tai- shan,[ 7] the Master said to Yen Yu,"Can not you save him from this?" |
| 10056 | Although I do not go to you, Why from all word do you refrain? |
| 10056 | Although I do not go to you, Yet why to me should you not come? |
| 10056 | Although he had his tower, his pond, birds and animals, how could he have pleasure alone?" |
| 10056 | Am I eminently worthy and wise?--who is there then among men whom I will not bear with? |
| 10056 | And am I the great Monarch of the line of Han? |
| 10056 | And if it should happen that my services were enlisted, I might create for him another East Chow-- don''t you think so?" |
| 10056 | And in such a case, what shall we say of his sense of harmony?" |
| 10056 | And is not attacking the evil in one''s self, and not the evil which is in others, a way of reforming dissolute habits? |
| 10056 | And moreover what permanent preceptor could he have?" |
| 10056 | And parents, how are you restrained, In this so dreadful day? |
| 10056 | And since only with death it is done with, is not the way long?" |
| 10056 | And though I should fail to have a grand funeral over me, I should hardly be left on my death on the public highway, should I?" |
| 10056 | And what does he account next, as that about which he may be indifferent? |
| 10056 | And what harm, I ask, can a man do to the sun or the moon, by wishing to intercept himself from either? |
| 10056 | And where is the wisdom of those who choose an abode where it does not abide? |
| 10056 | And why can not they do so? |
| 10056 | And yet the people of the neighboring kings do not decrease, nor do my people increase-- how is this?" |
| 10056 | And you are a follower of a learned man who withdraws from his chief; had you not better be a follower of such as have forsaken the world?" |
| 10056 | Another day, when he was again standing alone and I was hurrying past across the vestibule, he said to me,''Are you learning the Rules of Propriety?'' |
| 10056 | Are there no dice and chess players? |
| 10056 | Are we now with them in 402?] |
| 10056 | Assuming that the words were good, and that none withstood them, would not that also be good? |
| 10056 | Attended once by the two disciples Yen Yuen and Tsz- lu, he said,"Come now, why not tell me, each of you, what in your hearts you are really after?" |
| 10056 | But I have seen my lord again;-- Should not my heart rejoice? |
| 10056 | But had there been none of superior quality in Lu, how should this man have attained to this excellence?" |
| 10056 | But how is it that this heart has in it what is equal to the attainment of the Royal sway?" |
| 10056 | But if they can not exert themselves to expel the barbarians, why call for the princess to propitiate them? |
| 10056 | But so long as Heaven does not allow it to perish, what can the men of K''wang do to me?" |
| 10056 | But soon what changes may betide? |
| 10056 | But though Ts''e be narrow and small, how should I grudge a bull? |
| 10056 | But what had disciples of Buddha to do with hunting and taking life? |
| 10056 | But with such uncommon attractions, what chance has kept you from our sight? |
| 10056 | But,"said he,"what need of such in these days? |
| 10056 | But-- when the people have not enough, who will allow their prince all that he wants?" |
| 10056 | Can any be other than pleased with words of gentle suasion? |
| 10056 | Can any one refuse to exhort, who is true- hearted?" |
| 10056 | Can my suffering''scape their ken? |
| 10056 | Can this man have enjoyed the three years of loving care from his parents?" |
| 10056 | Can ye not devise a way to send out these foreign troops, without yielding up the princess for the sake of peace? |
| 10056 | Can ye withhold Your sympathy, who lately reigned? |
| 10056 | Ch''ang- tsü said,"Who is the person driving the carriage?" |
| 10056 | Chung- ne said,''Was he not without posterity who first made wooden images to bury with the dead?'' |
| 10056 | Commenting on these lines the Master said,"There can hardly have been much''thought going out,''What does distance signify?" |
| 10056 | Confucius gave him a seat, and among other inquiries he asked,"How is your master managing?" |
| 10056 | Covering the jujubes the dolichos grows, The graves many dragon- plants cover; But where is the man on whose breast I''d repose? |
| 10056 | Do I not night and day, Revere great Heaven, That thus its favor may To Chow be given? |
| 10056 | Does Heaven indeed speak?" |
| 10056 | Does he investigate matters? |
| 10056 | Does that coincide with your remark?" |
| 10056 | Does your Majesty know the way of the growing grain? |
| 10056 | Dost think that my thoughts go not out to thee? |
| 10056 | During life I am determined to have abundance of riches; what care I for the curses of mankind after my death? |
| 10056 | From them our thoughts quick to our husbands pass? |
| 10056 | From what quarter come such superior charms? |
| 10056 | Fâ- hien first spoke assuringly to them, and then slowly and distinctly asked them,"Who are you?" |
| 10056 | Give me a cup from that gilt vase-- When shall this longing end in sight? |
| 10056 | Had he not plenty of ladies in his palace, of whom he might have sent me one? |
| 10056 | He asked further,"What country is this?" |
| 10056 | He asked,"Can any one refuse to toil for those he loves? |
| 10056 | He replied,"If I act in a straightforward way in serving men, whither in these days should I go, where I should not be thrice dismissed? |
| 10056 | He said,"I have heard that superior men show no partiality; are they, too, then, partial? |
| 10056 | He then asked,"What are you looking for among these hills?" |
| 10056 | His face beamed with pleasure, and he said laughingly,"To kill a cock-- why use an ox- knife?" |
| 10056 | His rule is-- covet nought, none hate;-- How can his steps from goodness stray? |
| 10056 | How am I to be strung up like that kind of thing-- and live without means?" |
| 10056 | How are such to come from book- learning?" |
| 10056 | How can sorrow from my heart In a case like this depart? |
| 10056 | How can such a thing as entrapping the people be done under the rule of a benevolent man?" |
| 10056 | How can they know, who never try To learn whence comes our woe? |
| 10056 | How can your Majesty have such a desire on account of them?" |
| 10056 | How else could all your evil dreams And slanders work their way? |
| 10056 | How goes the night? |
| 10056 | How goes the night? |
| 10056 | How in our absence shall their wants be met? |
| 10056 | How indeed could such as he be equalled?" |
| 10056 | How is this? |
| 10056 | How know we what difference there may be in them in the future from what they are now? |
| 10056 | How may a master play fast and loose in his methods of instruction? |
| 10056 | How shall our parents find their wonted food? |
| 10056 | How shall our parents their requirements get? |
| 10056 | How should I derive pleasure from these things? |
| 10056 | How should I have the ambition?" |
| 10056 | How should they know who never try To learn whence comes our woe? |
| 10056 | How should your carriages, large or little, get along without your whipple- trees or swing- trees?" |
| 10056 | I am but a woman; how shall I succeed in being the first to see him?" |
| 10056 | I know not about his good- naturedness; but at any rate what need of that gift?" |
| 10056 | I never can ask''What of this?'' |
| 10056 | I replied,''It will be settled by being united under one sway,''"''Who can so unite it?'' |
| 10056 | I should say he was not a man who had much good- will in him-- eh?" |
| 10056 | I turn my gaze to the great sky;-- When shall this drought be done, and I Quiet and restful be?" |
| 10056 | If Kung- si were to become an unimportant assistant at these functions, who could become an important one?" |
| 10056 | If he be unable to rectify himself, how is he to rectify others?" |
| 10056 | If he knew the Rules of Propriety, who is there that does not know them?" |
| 10056 | If there be no reverential feeling in the matter, what is there to distinguish between the cases?" |
| 10056 | If these, then, also make an administrator, how am I to take your words about being an administrator?" |
| 10056 | If with one part you try to subdue the other eight, what is the difference between that and Tsow''s contending with Ts''oo? |
| 10056 | If you felt pained by its being led without any guilt to the place of death, what was there to choose between a bull and a sheep?" |
| 10056 | If you, sir, as a leader show correctness, who will dare not to be correct?" |
| 10056 | If, on the other hand, he habituate himself to impetuosity of mind, and show it also in his way of doing things, is he not then over- impetuous?" |
| 10056 | In archery What man with him can vie? |
| 10056 | In eager pursuit of her, I have reached the imperial palace.--Is not this she? |
| 10056 | In his case, what is the use of reprimand? |
| 10056 | In such a case, who will oppose your Majesty? |
| 10056 | In the core of my heart I love him, but say, Whence shall I procure him the wants of the day? |
| 10056 | In the core of my heart do I love him, but say, Whence shall I procure him the wants of the day? |
| 10056 | In the course of conversation Yen Yu said,"Does the Master take the part of the Prince of Wei?" |
| 10056 | In the gentleman is there indeed such variety of ability? |
| 10056 | Is an exception to be made here? |
| 10056 | Is it not because you show yourself so smart a speaker, now?" |
| 10056 | Is it not so indeed? |
| 10056 | Is not his way of arriving at things different from that of others?" |
| 10056 | Is not this the Emperor, my sovereign? |
| 10056 | King Seuen of Ts''e asked, saying,"May I be informed by you of the transactions of Hwan of Ts''e and Wan of Ts''in?" |
| 10056 | Know ye in what place she grieves, listening like me to the screams of the wild bird? |
| 10056 | Laid is the bamboo mat on rush mat square;-- Here shall he sleep, and, waking, say,"Divine What dreams are good? |
| 10056 | Let your Majesty likewise make benevolence and righteousness your only themes-- Why must you speak of profit?" |
| 10056 | May I not as well give up?" |
| 10056 | May I request that you proceed against him?" |
| 10056 | Mencius continued,"Is there any difference between doing it with a sword and with governmental measures?" |
| 10056 | Mencius replied,"If the people of Tsow were fighting with the people of Ts''oo, which of them does your Majesty think would conquer?" |
| 10056 | Mencius replied,"Is there any difference between killing a man with a stick and with a sword?" |
| 10056 | Mencius replied,"Why must your Majesty used that word''profit''? |
| 10056 | Mencius resumed,"Are you led to desire it because you have not enough of rich and sweet food for your mouth? |
| 10056 | Mencius said,"May I hear from you what it is that your Majesty greatly desires?" |
| 10056 | Might he be called philanthropic?" |
| 10056 | Might he then learn something of gardening? |
| 10056 | Min Tsz- k''ien observed,"How if it were repaired on the old lines?" |
| 10056 | No brother lives with whom my cause to plead;-- Why not perform for me the helping deed? |
| 10056 | No brother lives with whom my cause to plead;-- Why not perform for me the helping deed? |
| 10056 | No food is left our parents to supply; When we are gone, on whom can they rely? |
| 10056 | Now suppose some one got to know you, what then?" |
| 10056 | O azure Heaven, from out thy deeps Why look in silence down? |
| 10056 | O azure Heaven, that shinest there afar, When shall our homes receive us from the war? |
| 10056 | O azure Heaven, that shinest there afar, When shall our homes receive us from the war? |
| 10056 | O azure Heaven, that shinest there afar, When shall our homes receive us from the war? |
| 10056 | O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so? |
| 10056 | O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so? |
| 10056 | O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so? |
| 10056 | O noble chiefs, who then the West adorned, Would ye have thus neglected me and scorned? |
| 10056 | Of Wei- shang Kau he said,"Who calls him straightforward? |
| 10056 | On going in to him, that disciple began,"What sort of men were Peh- I and Shuh Ts''i?" |
| 10056 | On one occasion he exclaimed,"Heaven begat Virtue in me; what can man do unto me?" |
| 10056 | Once the Master said,"Because we allow that a man''s words have something genuine in them, are they necessarily those of a superior man? |
| 10056 | Once when the stabling was destroyed by fire, he withdrew from the Court, and asked,"Is any person injured?" |
| 10056 | Or it is,''The study of Music requires it''--''Music requires it''; but do not these predilections for bells and drums require it?" |
| 10056 | Person slighted, life all blighted, What can the future prove? |
| 10056 | Regard you only me? |
| 10056 | Sad dreams returned to our lonely pillow; we thought of her through the night: Her verdant tomb remains-- but where shall we seek her self? |
| 10056 | Said he,"It is a year of dearth, and there is an insufficiency for Ways and Means-- what am I to do?" |
| 10056 | Shall I become a carriage driver, or an archer? |
| 10056 | Should I deceive Heaven? |
| 10056 | Should we oppose the Tartars, and be defeated, what will remain to us? |
| 10056 | So when his desire is the virtue of humaneness, and he attains it, how shall he then be covetous? |
| 10056 | Some one asked,"What say you of the remark,''Requite enmity with kindness''?" |
| 10056 | Some one thereupon remarked,"Who says that the son of the man of Tsou[ 8] understands about ceremonial? |
| 10056 | Some one, speaking to Confucius, inquired,"Why, sir, are you not an administrator of government?" |
| 10056 | The Master added,"Where there is found, upon introspection, to be no chronic disease, how shall there be any trouble? |
| 10056 | The Master asked him,"Would it be a satisfaction to you-- that returning to better food, that putting on of fine clothes?" |
| 10056 | The Master heard of this, and mentioning it to his disciples he said,"What then shall I take in hand? |
| 10056 | The Master replied,"Where there is scarcely the ability to minister to living men, how shall there be ability to minister to the spirits?" |
| 10056 | The Master''s reply was,"In a case where there is a father or elder brother still left with you, how should you practise all you hear?" |
| 10056 | The bird, although a creature small, Upon its mate depends; And shall we men, who rank o''er all, Not seek to have our friends? |
| 10056 | The followers introduced him; and, on leaving, he said to them,"Sirs, why grieve at his loss of office? |
| 10056 | The king asked,"How may the difference between him who does not do a thing and him who is not able to do it be graphically set forth?" |
| 10056 | The king laughed and said,"What really was my mind in the matter? |
| 10056 | The king said,"Is such an one as poor I competent to love and protect the people?" |
| 10056 | The king said,"May I hear what they will be?" |
| 10056 | The king said,"Of what kind must his virtue be who can attain to the Royal sway?" |
| 10056 | The man of my heart is away and I mourn-- What home have I, lonely and weeping? |
| 10056 | The minister replied,"So long as the people have enough left for themselves, who of them will allow their prince to be without enough? |
| 10056 | The three other disciples having gone out, leaving Tsang Sin behind, the latter said,"What think you of the answers of those three?" |
| 10056 | They asked in reply whether, if they did so, they should omit the consecration of the bell, but the king said,"How can that be omitted? |
| 10056 | They replied,"Who are you that say you are our mother?" |
| 10056 | Tigers do we care to be? |
| 10056 | To his disciples he once said,"Do you look upon me, my sons, as keeping anything secret from you? |
| 10056 | To the disciple Tsz- lu the Master said,"Shall I give you a lesson about knowledge? |
| 10056 | To the great sky I look with pain;-- Why do these grievous sorrows rain On my devoted head? |
| 10056 | Tsz- chang in a conversation with Confucius asked,"What say you is essential for the proper conduct of government?" |
| 10056 | Tsz- k''in asked of Pih- yu,"Have you heard anything else peculiar from your father?" |
| 10056 | Tsz- kung asked,"I suppose a gentleman will have his aversions as well as his likings?" |
| 10056 | Tsz- kung asked,"What of me, then?" |
| 10056 | Tsz- kung asked,"What say you, sir, of the poor who do not cringe and fawn; and what of the rich who are without pride and haughtiness?" |
| 10056 | Tsz- kung put to him the question,"Is there one word upon which the whole life may proceed?" |
| 10056 | Tsz- kung was consulting him, and asked,"What say you of a person who was liked by all in his village?" |
| 10056 | Tsz- lu inquired of him,"Have you seen my Master, sir?" |
| 10056 | Tsz- lu rejoined,"But he will have the people and their superiors to gain experience from, and there will be the altars; what need to read books? |
| 10056 | Tsz- lu then put his question to Kieh- nih; and the latter asked,"Who are you?" |
| 10056 | Tsz- lu used always to be humming over the lines--"From envy and enmity free, What deed doth he other than good?" |
| 10056 | Tsz- lu was averse to this, and said,"You can never go, that is certain; how should you feel you must go to that person?" |
| 10056 | Tsz- lu, with indignation pictured on his countenance, exclaimed,"And is a gentleman to suffer starvation?" |
| 10056 | Wang- sun Kiá asked him once,"What says the proverb,''Better to court favor in the kitchen than in the drawing- room''?" |
| 10056 | Was it not, however, just like him-- that remark of the Chief?" |
| 10056 | We have complied with all our minister''s propositions-- shall they not, then, accede to ours? |
| 10056 | Well, are not filial piety and friendly subordination among brothers a root of that right feeling which is owing generally from man to man?" |
| 10056 | Were I to adopt crooked ways in their service, why need I leave the land where my parents dwell?" |
| 10056 | Were not my forefathers men? |
| 10056 | Were the Empress Leuhow alive-- let her utter a word-- which of them would dare to be of a different opinion? |
| 10056 | What can I say-- a poor fellow like me? |
| 10056 | What can I say-- a poor fellow like me? |
| 10056 | What can I say-- a poor fellow like me? |
| 10056 | What can Liáu do against Destiny?" |
| 10056 | What can we do?" |
| 10056 | What course is to be pursued to accomplish this?" |
| 10056 | What did he indeed do? |
| 10056 | What does a master, in his methods of teaching, consider first in his precepts? |
| 10056 | What find we on the Chung- nan hill? |
| 10056 | What has he to do with the Path of Wisdom? |
| 10056 | What in his angling did he catch? |
| 10056 | What is meant by that?" |
| 10056 | What is the use of all that?" |
| 10056 | What lady plays there? |
| 10056 | What need to turn his hand to husbandry? |
| 10056 | What place is this? |
| 10056 | What say you of him?" |
| 10056 | What say you of him?" |
| 10056 | What the cause? |
| 10056 | What was his meaning?" |
| 10056 | What would you think if these, because they had run but fifty paces, should laugh at those who ran a hundred paces?" |
| 10056 | When Tsz- yu became governor of Wu- shing, the Master said to him,"Do you find good men about you?" |
| 10056 | When a rhinoceros or tiger breaks out of its cage-- when a jewel or tortoise- shell ornament is damaged in its casket-- whose fault is it?" |
| 10056 | When have they employed a single day in the service of their prince? |
| 10056 | When he selects for them such labors as it is possible for them to do, and exacts them, who will then complain? |
| 10056 | When he was asked about spiritual beings, he remarked,"If we can not even know men, how can we know spirits?" |
| 10056 | When it does so, who can keep it back? |
| 10056 | When shall we back from this service be led? |
| 10056 | When the Master heard of this he remarked,"Does that high official know me? |
| 10056 | When the music- master had left, Tsz- chang said to him,"Is that the way to speak to the music- master?" |
| 10056 | When they are so bent, who will be able to keep them back?" |
| 10056 | When we are gone, who will to them be good? |
| 10056 | When will he come to heal its smart? |
| 10056 | When you changed a large one for a small, how should they know the true reason? |
| 10056 | Where can I fly? |
| 10056 | Where could be found to share our prince''s state, So fair, so virtuous, and so fit a mate? |
| 10056 | Where seek repose? |
| 10056 | Where the ability to govern thus is wanting, what has such a ruler to do with the Rules of Propriety? |
| 10056 | Which of them need be rinsed? |
| 10056 | Which of them will drive back for us these foreign troops? |
| 10056 | Who buried were in duke Muh''s grave, Alive to awful death consigned? |
| 10056 | Who buried were in duke Muh''s grave, Alive to awful death consigned? |
| 10056 | Who buried were in duke Muh''s grave, Alive to awful death consigned? |
| 10056 | Who dares despise your cattle too? |
| 10056 | Who planned, and helped those slanderers vile, My name with base lies to defile? |
| 10056 | Whom should I delude, if I were to pretend to have officials under me, having none? |
| 10056 | Why do we brand him in our satire here? |
| 10056 | Why such rectification?" |
| 10056 | Why upon me has come this drought? |
| 10056 | Why walks no one by these guiding principles? |
| 10056 | Wi- shang Mau accosted Confucius, saying,"Kiu, how comes it that you manage to go perching and roosting in this way? |
| 10056 | With dignity in presence of them all, My conduct marked, my goodness who shall scout? |
| 10056 | Within the precincts of the palace, as without them, who is there but bows before me-- who is there but trembles at my approach? |
| 10056 | Would he go down after him?" |
| 10056 | Would they not indeed be sages, who could take in at once the first principles and the final developments of things?" |
| 10056 | Would you guard it carefully in a casket and store it away, or seek a good price for it and sell it?" |
| 10056 | Ye travellers, who forever hurry by, Why on me turn the unsympathizing eye? |
| 10056 | Ye travellers, who forever hurry by, Why on me turn the unsympathizing eye? |
| 10056 | Ye whom I constantly revere, Why do I this endure? |
| 10056 | Yen Yu asked him,"Seeing they are so numerous, what more would you do for them?" |
| 10056 | [_ Hears the lute._] Is not that some lady''s lute? |
| 10056 | [_ Hears the wild fowl''s[ 2] cry_] Hark, the passing fowl screamed twice or thrice!--Can it know there is no one so desolate as I? |
| 10056 | [_ Seeing Maouyenshow_] What person are you? |
| 10056 | and the inferior officers and the common people will say,''What is to be done to profit our persons?'' |
| 10056 | and which need not? |
| 10056 | and''What of that?'' |
| 10056 | exclaimed the Master,"are we to say that the spirits of T''ai- shan have not as much discernment as Lin Fang?" |
| 10056 | how long has Tsz- lu''s conduct been false? |
| 10056 | how shall there be any apprehension?" |
| 10056 | is an exception to be made here? |
| 10056 | it is to begin in others?" |
| 10056 | it was Hwúi, was it not? |
| 10056 | or are the facts given him?" |
| 10056 | or because there are not voices and sounds enough to fill your ears? |
| 10056 | or because you have not enough of attendants and favorites to stand before you and receive your orders? |
| 10056 | or because you have not enough of beautifully colored objects to satisfy your eyes? |
| 10056 | or because you have not enough of light and warm clothing for your body? |
| 10056 | or words carrying only an outward semblance and show of gravity?" |
| 10056 | said he;"if I am not to do so for him, then-- for whom else?" |
| 10056 | said he;"not that: he married three rimes, and he was not a man who restricted his official business to too few hands-- how could he be miserly?" |
| 10056 | the great officers will say,''What is to be done to profit our families?'' |
| 10056 | when shall I again behold your Majesty? |
| 10056 | whom do I over- praise? |
| 10056 | ~In Praise of a Ruler of Ts''in~ What trees grow on the Chung- nan hill? |
| 10056 | ~The Condition of King Seuen''s Flocks~ Who dares to say your sheep are few? |
| 10056 | ~The King''s Anxiety for His Morning Levée~ How goes the night? |
| 10056 | ~There is a Proper Way for Doing Everything~ In hewing an axe- shaft, how must you act? |
| 10315 | And didst thou thyself kill this terrific dragon? |
| 10315 | And thy father? |
| 10315 | And where didst thou encountering armies see? 10315 And who are these two women?" |
| 10315 | And who art thou? |
| 10315 | And why was he not sent to me? |
| 10315 | And wilt thou swear to God that this is thy own achievement? 10315 Can I be faithless, then, to thee, The choice of this fond heart of mine; Why sought I bonds, when I was free, But to be thine-- forever thine?" |
| 10315 | Does he resemble in feature any person in this assembly? |
| 10315 | For is he not the son of Kai- káús, And worthy of the regal crown and throne? 10315 For the same reason,"said Rustem;"how can I eat thy bread and salt?" |
| 10315 | Has he not at heart disdained me? 10315 Hast thou forgotten Rustem''s power, When thou wert in that perilous hour By him overthrown? |
| 10315 | Have I not,said he,"a hundred war- elephants, and Káús not one? |
| 10315 | How shall I cleave the oppressor''s form asunder, The murderer of my grandsire, Lohurásp? 10315 I have given thee both the crown and the throne, take with thee my whole army, and all my treasure.--What wouldst thou have more? |
| 10315 | Is it because I have with ceaseless toil Spread wide the Zendavesta, and converted Whole kingdoms to that faith? 10315 Is your fondness for wine so great?" |
| 10315 | Know''st thou not that a father''s wrath is kindness? 10315 Let us return then, whilst we may; Why should we throw our lives away?" |
| 10315 | Must thou have gold and treasure, And thy heart be wrapt in pleasure, Whilst we, thy elder born, Of our heritage are shorn? 10315 Nay,"was the answer,"let me go; How can the home- bred child be troubled by stories of a stranger''s woe?" |
| 10315 | Obedient to thy wish,Hujír replied,"Truth thou shalt hear, whatever chance betide; For what on earth to praise has better claim? |
| 10315 | Say whence this wrath on us, this keen revenge? 10315 Say, what has Rustem done, that he should be Impaled upon the ignominious tree? |
| 10315 | Should I be in this struggle slain, What stay for Persia will be left? 10315 Smooth that indignant brow,"the prince replied"And measure not my courage nor my strength With that of Káús; had he nerve like mine? |
| 10315 | The cause must be both good and true, And if their blood in war must flow, Will it not seem of brighter hue, When shed to crush the Tartar foe? |
| 10315 | Then tell me the road to the brazen fortress, and how far it is distant from this place? |
| 10315 | What can there be superior to this? |
| 10315 | What is the next evil I have to subdue? |
| 10315 | What is thy counsel now? |
| 10315 | What is thy name,he said--"what dost thou seek Amidst the gloom of night? |
| 10315 | What is thy name? |
| 10315 | What may be expected to- morrow? |
| 10315 | What may be the number of the garrison in this fort? |
| 10315 | What sort of a fortress is this which fame describes in such dreadful colors? |
| 10315 | What treachery is this? 10315 What will be our next adventure?" |
| 10315 | When wilt thou die before me? |
| 10315 | Why all this glittering finery? 10315 Why should Gurzam''s scorn and hate Rouse a loving father''s wrath? |
| 10315 | Why such bitter enmity? 10315 Why,"said the Símúrgh,"do I see all this grief and sorrow? |
| 10315 | Wouldst thou, with life endowed, take life away? 10315 Yet,"said Isfendiyár,"why should I go? |
| 10315 | ''Tis true, of battles thou canst nothing know, But what am I to do? |
| 10315 | --"And what hast thou to give?" |
| 10315 | --"But did not Isfendiyár, with his last breath, consign him to my guardianship? |
| 10315 | --"But how,"inquired the king,"couldst thou compass that end?" |
| 10315 | --"But why,"rejoined Zohák,"does he wish to injure me?" |
| 10315 | --"Then how shall I get to Arjásp? |
| 10315 | --"What crime, what fault have I committed? |
| 10315 | --"Yes,"the champion said;"And hast thou never heard of men on foot, Who conquered horsemen? |
| 10315 | A Blessing, we should use it, should we not? |
| 10315 | A Hair perhaps divides the False and True-- And upon what, prithee, may life depend? |
| 10315 | A breath of wind, and then no more; A world like this, should man deplore?" |
| 10315 | A warrior Chief to trembling love a prey? |
| 10315 | After he had gone away, the nobles said to the king:"Why should reproaches, sovereign of the world, Be thus permitted? |
| 10315 | Again he asked,"Shall I return to Rúm, and see my mother and children before I die?" |
| 10315 | Again, they observed:"What says this picture?" |
| 10315 | Against such a foe, what can we do?" |
| 10315 | Aghríras replied:"Why reproach and insult me thus? |
| 10315 | All false alike, their tempers all the same? |
| 10315 | Although the boy was hateful to thy sight, The grace of God has been bestowed upon him; And what is human tenderness and love To Heaven''s protection? |
| 10315 | Am I not his son, that he Treats me ignominiously? |
| 10315 | And Rustem, who alone can make Thy kingdom to its centre quake? |
| 10315 | And all thy beauty''s rich array, Thy peerless charms be thrown away?" |
| 10315 | And am I thus to perish? |
| 10315 | And art thou from terror free, When opposed in fight to me?" |
| 10315 | And can the hoary locks of age, A youthful heart like thine engage? |
| 10315 | And condemned, by stern command, To a wild and sterile land?" |
| 10315 | And did I not also subdue the king of Hámáverán, and the Khakán of Chín? |
| 10315 | And dost thou seek upon the dusty plain To struggle with a demon''s power again? |
| 10315 | And has not such a story from of Old Down Man''s successive generations roll''d Of such a clod of saturated Earth Cast by the Maker into Human mould? |
| 10315 | And if a Curse-- why, then, Who set it there? |
| 10315 | And is it not a glorious thing to say-- This is the son of Zál, or this of Sám, The heir of his renowned progenitor? |
| 10315 | And is not Káús living now, With rightful vengeance on his brow? |
| 10315 | And of what use would thy treasure and property be to me? |
| 10315 | And thy soldiers, what are they? |
| 10315 | And to a Persian king? |
| 10315 | And was thy Heft- khan equal in terrible danger to mine? |
| 10315 | And what is my reward now that I have slain both Arjásp and his son in battle? |
| 10315 | And what, if all thou say''st be true? |
| 10315 | And wilt thou, reckless, shed thy brother''s blood, And agonize the feelings of a father? |
| 10315 | And witness there destruction to our host? |
| 10315 | And yet, nor sire nor son, nor tidings, came: How could I dream of this? |
| 10315 | Are his large limbs of iron made? |
| 10315 | Art thou afraid to face the beams of light?" |
| 10315 | Art thou discontented-- dissatisfied, unhappy? |
| 10315 | Art thou indeed Sikander, whom my fancy would believe thee, So eloquent in speech, in mien so noble?" |
| 10315 | Art thou not ashamed to accuse another of rebellious conduct? |
| 10315 | Art thou not ashamed to look upon the king of Túrán after what he has done for thee?" |
| 10315 | Art thou not ashamed to wear The regal crown that glitters there? |
| 10315 | Art thou reckless of thy life?" |
| 10315 | As dust upon thy threshold supplies my eyes with balm, If I forsake thy presence, where can I hope for calm? |
| 10315 | As earth, two handfuls yielding, shall thy last couch supply, What need to build thy palace, aspiring to the sky? |
| 10315 | Ask thy cruel masters, Who talk of their affection for the prince, Where lies the body of the gentle Irij? |
| 10315 | Ask ye to see the moon? |
| 10315 | Astonished, Ushkabús cried,"Who art thou? |
| 10315 | At Samengán, where once affection smiled, To me Tahmíneh bore her only child, That was a daughter?" |
| 10315 | At length Rustem said to Afrásiyáb:--"Art thou not ashamed to avoid a contest with so inferior a force, a hundred thousand against one thousand? |
| 10315 | At this the champion smiled, and thus exclaimed,"Where hast thou seen the deeds of warriors brave? |
| 10315 | At times I draw sighs from my heart, and at times, O my life, thy sharp dart: Can aught I may say represent all the ills I endure from my heart? |
| 10315 | Besides, for every man his army boasts, We have three hundred-- wherefore then be sad?" |
| 10315 | Blood may be shed, but what will be thy gain?" |
| 10315 | Bring wine; for to a lofty spirit, should they at its tribunal be, What were the sentry, what the Sultan, the toper, or the foe of glee? |
| 10315 | But Gíw asked fiercely:"Why?" |
| 10315 | But false Hujír the aspiring hope repelled, Crushed the fond wish, the soothing balm withheld,"And why should I conceal his name from thee? |
| 10315 | But how earnest thou hither, and by what strange vicissitudes art thou thus placed before me?" |
| 10315 | But if I become thy guest, how can I in honor fight with thee? |
| 10315 | But one difficulty remained-- how were they to meet? |
| 10315 | But what are prayers, opposed by destiny? |
| 10315 | But what was the reply of brave Kobád? |
| 10315 | But who on earth Can do that office? |
| 10315 | But who will dare a threatening step advance, What earthly power can bear his withering glance? |
| 10315 | But why should we any longer keep the world in confusion-- Why should we not be satisfied with what Feridún, in his wisdom, decreed? |
| 10315 | CLXVI Knowest thou what fortune is? |
| 10315 | CLXXX O thou who art unlearned still, the quest of love essay: Canst thou who hast not trod the path guide others on the way? |
| 10315 | Call him aged, or young,''tis a fruitless endeavour To uproot a desire I must cherish for ever; Call him old, call him young, who can passion control? |
| 10315 | Can I go Where bird has never dared to wing its flight?" |
| 10315 | Can I, the bird of sacred gardens, tell Into this net of chance how first I fell? |
| 10315 | Can a foe''s heart be kindled by the friend''s face so bright? |
| 10315 | Can aught more sweet, more genial prove, Than melting music, wine, and love? |
| 10315 | Can morning''s breeze make known what grief this heart doth hold, Which as a bud hath grown, compressed by fold on fold? |
| 10315 | Can the heart bleed and throb from day to day, And yet no trace its inmost pangs betray? |
| 10315 | Can thy insignificant exploits be compared with mine? |
| 10315 | Can toping aught in common with works and worship own? |
| 10315 | Can water wash the Ethiopian white? |
| 10315 | Can we remove the darkness from the night? |
| 10315 | Canst thou for love''s effeminate control, Barter the glory of a warrior''s soul? |
| 10315 | Could daring insult, thus deliberate given, Escape the rage of one to frenzy driven? |
| 10315 | Couldst thou presume that I Would be appalled by thee, whom I defy? |
| 10315 | Did Demons huge escape his flaming brand? |
| 10315 | Did I deserve this at a father''s hands?" |
| 10315 | Did I not conquer Afrásiyáb, the greatest and bravest king that ever ruled over Túrán? |
| 10315 | Did he not conquer the White Demon, fill The world with blood, in terrible revenge, When Saiáwush was by Afrásiyáb Cruelly slain? |
| 10315 | Did not the Símúrgh promise that whenever I might be overcome by adversity, if I burned one of her feathers, she would instantly appear? |
| 10315 | Did the innocent ant Offend thee ever? |
| 10315 | Dismissing now all her attendants, she remained with the nurse and Jemshíd, and then resumed:--"How long hath sleep forsaken me? |
| 10315 | Doomed the sad victim of unnatural strife, Where art thou now with dust and blood defiled? |
| 10315 | Dost thou believe That to have silvery tresses is a crime? |
| 10315 | Dost thou not know what, in the royal ear, The Múbid said-- befitting Kings to hear? |
| 10315 | Each Morn a thousand Roses brings, you say; Yes, but where leaves the Rose of Yesterday? |
| 10315 | Each action of my froward spirit has won me an opprobrious name; Can any one conceal the secret which the assembled crowds proclaim? |
| 10315 | Feridún was surprised and displeased, and said, in reply:"Have I done wrong, done evil? |
| 10315 | For thine envoy of grief what pretence? |
| 10315 | For what can vie with ruby wine?" |
| 10315 | For what hath ever been The end of earthly power and pomp, but darkness? |
| 10315 | Forth from this hostel of two portals as finally thou needs must go, What of the porch and arch of Being be of high span or meanly low? |
| 10315 | From every trace of sense and feeling free, When thou art dead, what will become of thee? |
| 10315 | From this mad enterprise Others have wisely shrunk-- and what hast thou Accomplished by a more ambitious course? |
| 10315 | Groaning, he exclaimed:--"A daughter, even from a royal stock, Is ever a misfortune-- hast thou one? |
| 10315 | Gushtásp replied:--"Tis true he may have served my ancestors; But what is that to me? |
| 10315 | Gúdarz, Zúára, and Fríburz, And Tús, and Girgín, and Frámurz; And others too of fearless might, To challenge thee to mortal fight? |
| 10315 | Hadst thou no friend to warn thee of thy folly? |
| 10315 | Hadst thou not heard of the White Demon''s power-- Of him, who from the gorgeous vault of Heaven Can charm the stars? |
| 10315 | Hadst thou not the sense To shrink from giving man like me offence? |
| 10315 | Hard as the flinty rock, he stern denies The healthful draught, and gloomy thus replies:"Can I forgive his foul and slanderous tongue? |
| 10315 | Has he not in prison chained me? |
| 10315 | Has punishment Been meted to the offender? |
| 10315 | Hast thou escaped the monsters of the deep? |
| 10315 | Hast thou no fear of God? |
| 10315 | Hast thou no fear of a degraded name, No fear of lasting obloquy and shame? |
| 10315 | Have I not one warrior endued with sufficient bravery to oppose and subdue this mighty Rustem? |
| 10315 | Have I not performed such actions as never were heard of, and never will be performed again, in furtherance of thy glory? |
| 10315 | Have I not seven companions in arms, and is not one of them equal to five hundred Túránian heroes? |
| 10315 | He bravely defended himself, and aimed his arrows with great precision; but what is the use of art when Fortune is unfavorable? |
| 10315 | He found Isfendiyár still sleeping, and exclaimed aloud:"Warrior, art thou still slumbering? |
| 10315 | Here jointly are the wine- filled cup, the rose, the minstrel; yet While we lack love, no bliss is here: where can my Loved be met? |
| 10315 | His head may now his shoulders grace, But will it long retain its place? |
| 10315 | His wondrous looks my bosom thrill Can Saiáwush be living still?" |
| 10315 | How could thy master have conveyed His helm, and battle- axe, and blade, Kamund, and bow, and buberyán, Unaided, to Mázinderán? |
| 10315 | How durst I to rivals commend thy sweet lips by the ruby''s tent gemmed, When words that are vivid in hue by a soul unrefined are contemned? |
| 10315 | How fares our Salmâ? |
| 10315 | How has Fortune cast away thy throne and thy treasure to the winds?" |
| 10315 | How is this? |
| 10315 | How many a heart hast thou broken? |
| 10315 | How should this heart gain aught, Were its gyves of grief flung aside? |
| 10315 | How was she to see with her own eyes the man whom her fancy had depicted in such glowing colors? |
| 10315 | Háfiz, if o''er the glade of earth The autumn- blast is borne, Grieve not, but musing ask thyself:"Where has the rose no thorn?" |
| 10315 | Húm replied:"How many a prince of the race of Feridún hast thou sacrificed to thy ambition? |
| 10315 | I am a lover, drunk, forsaken: Sákí, that idol, where is he? |
| 10315 | I am the eldest son, and I am not satisfied with this distribution-- what sayest thou?" |
| 10315 | I have conquered Afrásiyáb in battle, and after that dost thou presume to oppose me?" |
| 10315 | I have no dread of death; What is there in this vital breath? |
| 10315 | I never, never, brought thee shame; With me can sin and crime accord, When Jemshíd is my wedded lord?" |
| 10315 | I seek not to contend against my brothers; Why should I grieve their hearts, or give distress To any human being? |
| 10315 | I who still love thee better than my life?" |
| 10315 | I, who have still his firmest champion stood? |
| 10315 | I-- but a beggar mean-- can I hope for Union at last? |
| 10315 | If I hit the female, shall the lady whom I most admire in this company be mine?" |
| 10315 | If I perish, Does not my brother live, my noble brother, To bury me beneath a warrior''s tomb, And bless my memory?" |
| 10315 | If Persian damsels thus in arms engage, Who shall repel their warrior''s fiercer rage?" |
| 10315 | If he had been thy guest, why with his mace, Cow- headed, has he done such violence? |
| 10315 | If so, thy head is covered with white hair; And were not both spontaneous gifts from Heaven? |
| 10315 | If thou hast the form Of hissing dragon, why to me be cruel? |
| 10315 | In his heart he said:"This never can be: This is a demon''s work-- shall I be treacherous? |
| 10315 | Incensed at words so sharp and strong, The damsel thus repelled the wrong:--"Me, father, canst thou justly blame? |
| 10315 | Indeed, indeed, Repentance oft before I swore-- but was I sober when I swore? |
| 10315 | Is it because For him I conquered those far- distant kingdoms, With this good sword of mine? |
| 10315 | Is it he who sings of wine and of pleasure, who seems to preach a life of sensual enjoyment? |
| 10315 | Is it not mournful thus to see him cold And gloomy, casting pomp and joy away? |
| 10315 | Is it not then incumbent on thee to fulfil thy promise?" |
| 10315 | Is it wise, Or natural, thus to sport with human life? |
| 10315 | Is mercy hoped for in a tyrant king? |
| 10315 | Is not that enough? |
| 10315 | Is not the country of Raí sufficient for thee, that thou art thus aspiring to be a great king?" |
| 10315 | Is she not Thy own fair daughter, given in happier time To him who won thy favour and affection? |
| 10315 | Is the devil United to an angel? |
| 10315 | Isfendiyár again, in assumed anger, told them to depart, saying:"Talk not to me of Gushtásp and Isfendiyár-- what have I to do with them?" |
| 10315 | Isfendiyár replied:"Of what use would it be to sacrifice thy brother and thy son? |
| 10315 | Isfendiyár was extremely irritated at this intelligence, and called aloud to Rustem:"Is treachery like this becoming in a warrior?" |
| 10315 | It would not save one pang-- then weep no more; For if removed by death, O say, to whom Has ever been vouchsafed a different doom? |
| 10315 | Knowing my temper, firm, and stern, and bold, Didst thou not, tyrant, tremble to behold My sword blood- dropping? |
| 10315 | Knows no astrologer my star of birth: Lord,''neath what plant bore me Mother Earth? |
| 10315 | Korah lost all his treasured store, which, cursed of Heaven, sinks daily more,( Hast thou not heard this tale of yore?) |
| 10315 | Lean not on thy store of merits; know''st thou''gainst thy name for aye What the Plastic Pen indited, on the Unbeginning Day? |
| 10315 | Like him no Champion ever met my eyes, No horse like that for majesty and size; What Chief illustrious bears a port so high? |
| 10315 | Monsters I slew, reduced the Brazen Fortress, And laid Arjásp''s whole empire at thy feet, And what was my reward? |
| 10315 | Mounted on my steed, Wielding my battle- axe, overthrowing heroes, Who equals Sám, the warrior? |
| 10315 | Must I be galled by his capricious mood? |
| 10315 | Must I behold thy ruin? |
| 10315 | Must kingly heads be bought and sold, And shall I barter blood for gold? |
| 10315 | Must the youngest still be nursed, And the elder branches cursed? |
| 10315 | Must thy enchanting form be prest To such a dubious monster''s breast? |
| 10315 | Must we, thy elder brothers, remain thus under thy commands, and in subordinate stations? |
| 10315 | My Loved one''s Alif- form[45] stamps all my thought: Save that, what letter has my master taught? |
| 10315 | My heart instinctively acknowledged thee at first sight: then wherefore this denial of the truth? |
| 10315 | My heart to find that new- born rose has gone upon its way; But where can it be found, O Lord? |
| 10315 | Need I blush To be the kinsman of the glorious Kavah? |
| 10315 | Need I blush for him? |
| 10315 | Never of Eternal Mercy preach that I must yet despair; Canst thou pierce the veil, and tell me who is ugly, who is fair? |
| 10315 | Nothing but mischief from his heart can flow, Is it, then, wise to cherish such a foe? |
| 10315 | Of flint, or brass, or iron is thy form? |
| 10315 | Of him no trace thy guiding hand has shown; Can power supreme remain unmark''d, unknown?" |
| 10315 | Of the Shaikh''s cell my heart has tired, and of the convent bare: Where is my friend, the Christian''s child, the vintner''s mansion, where? |
| 10315 | On me, the bulwark of the regal crown? |
| 10315 | One effort, and the field is won; Then why should I the battle shun? |
| 10315 | One of them addressed Sám, and reproached him thus:-- Unfeeling mortal, hast thou from thy eyes Washed out all sense of shame? |
| 10315 | Or canst thou, like the demons, raise the dreadful battle storm?" |
| 10315 | Or wilt thou, deaf to all our fears excite, Forsake thy friends, and shun the pending fight? |
| 10315 | Or, dost thou, wearied, draw thy vital breath, And seek, from warrior bold, the shaft of death? |
| 10315 | Our neighbors there-- are they unscathed by Fate? |
| 10315 | Perceiving the wearied state of the two warriors he pushed forward Rakush, and called aloud to Pílsam:--"Am I not the person challenged?" |
| 10315 | Pondering thus he spoke, And then aloud--"Why fear the invader''s yoke? |
| 10315 | Protected by the power divine, Our lot is written-- why repine?" |
| 10315 | Reading the five hundred or so authentic quatrains one asks, Which is the real Omar? |
| 10315 | Rejoice not in the wisdom of a daughter; Who ever finds a daughter good and virtuous? |
| 10315 | Restraining his anger, he then said softly to him,"Wherefore dost thou raise thy voice so high? |
| 10315 | Rustem rejoined:"Unworthy the pretence, And scorn and insult all my recompense? |
| 10315 | Rustem replied in anger:"I am a merchant employed in traffic, what can I know of such things? |
| 10315 | Rustem replied:"When the lion sees his prey, Sees the elk- deer cross his way, Roars he not? |
| 10315 | Rustem replied:--"Why madly seek to know That which can never yield thee benefit? |
| 10315 | Rustem said to Rehám:--"I fear that my horse Rakush is becoming weary of exertion, in which case what shall I do in this conflict with the enemy? |
| 10315 | Seek not, O friend, in Háfiz Patience, nor rest from care: Patience and rest-- what are they? |
| 10315 | Seek ye for musky fragrance? |
| 10315 | Seest thou not in his hand the battle- axe of Sám? |
| 10315 | Shall gold a father''s heart entice, Blood to redeem beyond all price? |
| 10315 | Shall he for this resign his vital breath? |
| 10315 | Shall my beloved one''s house delight me, when issues ever and anon From the relentless bell the mandate:"''Tis time to bind thy litters on"? |
| 10315 | Shall one who, gently nurtured, slumbers with royal ermine for a bed,"Care if on rocks or thorns reposing the stranger rests his weary head?" |
| 10315 | Shall we not then solicit assistance in this awful extremity?" |
| 10315 | She said to him involuntarily:"Who art thou?" |
| 10315 | Sirbund and male attire? |
| 10315 | Spill royal blood thou shouldest bless, In cruel sport and wantonness? |
| 10315 | Spots on my robe-- shall they arouse my complaint? |
| 10315 | Strange, is it not? |
| 10315 | Struck with amazement, Rustem--"Now on earth A warrior- knight of Sám''s excelling worth? |
| 10315 | Tell me what thy wish may be; Shall I plunge thee in the sea, Or leave thee on the mountain drear, None to give thee succour, near? |
| 10315 | The beauty of these verses baffles praise: What guide is needed to the solar blaze? |
| 10315 | The benisons of Heaven are won by purity alone: Else would not pearl and coral spring from every clod and stone? |
| 10315 | The blood of Zind inspires my burning hate, And dire resentment hurries on thy fate; Whom canst thou send to try the desperate strife? |
| 10315 | The brothers of Káús''s race By birth command the brightest place, Then what remains for us? |
| 10315 | The crowding slaves his awful nod obey, And silver moons around his banners play; What Chief, or Prince, has grasped the hostile sword? |
| 10315 | The keeper said to her:"Why dost thou take the child to the mountain? |
| 10315 | The monarch marked him scornfully, and said:"Canst thou conceal the sun? |
| 10315 | The mystery soon was manifest, And thus the king his child addrest, Whilst anger darkened o''er his brow:--"What hast thou done, ungrateful, now? |
| 10315 | The news of the unfortunate catastrophe deeply affected Gushtásp, who cried, in great grief:"Is there no one to take vengeance for this?" |
| 10315 | The night of absence has now cast its shade: What freaks by Fancy''s night- gang will be played? |
| 10315 | The old man said to him:"If this be Rustem, then the time has come, Dreaded so long-- for what but fire and sword, Can now await us? |
| 10315 | The princess said to him:"Why at the commencement of our friendship dost thou weep? |
| 10315 | The sharp disdain on me contemptuous flung? |
| 10315 | Then thus aloud--"Can idle words avail? |
| 10315 | Then why from me the bursting truth conceal? |
| 10315 | There would be one Túránian warrior less, To vex the world withal; would that be triumph? |
| 10315 | This hate to Gersíwaz he owes, The worst, the bitterest of his foes; Did he not thy protection seek, And wilt thou overpower the weak? |
| 10315 | This verse, a miracle, or magic white-- Brought down some voice from Heaven, or Gabriel bright? |
| 10315 | Thou Hast ever been my friend, my valued friend Say, must I go? |
| 10315 | Thou hadst the tokens-- why didst thou withhold Those dear remembrances-- that pledge of gold? |
| 10315 | Thou hast conquered many countries, but why am I unworthy in thy sight? |
| 10315 | Thou hast slain one king, Arjásp, how many kings have I slain? |
| 10315 | Thou wilt find me the same: is not a lion enough to overthrow a thousand kids? |
| 10315 | Thus deprived Of thy affection, whither can I fly? |
| 10315 | Thus forlorn, To mingle with the dust? |
| 10315 | Thy name unfit for champion brave to hide, Thy name so long, long sought, and still denied; Say, art thou Rustem, whom I burn to know? |
| 10315 | To this Barzú replied:"Why this hilarity, and great flow of spirits? |
| 10315 | To this he replied;"It is not impossible that I may be like Jemshíd in feature; for surely there may be in the world two men like each other?" |
| 10315 | To this the princess:"Is it so decreed, That every woman has two tongues, two hearts? |
| 10315 | To what, O heart, aspir''st thou? |
| 10315 | Was it for thee, My father''s son, by wicked plot and fraud To work this ruin, to destroy my life?" |
| 10315 | Was it from thee the Demons shrunk in terror, And did thy burning sword sear out their hearts? |
| 10315 | Was it, in fact, a reproduction of an antique song, or a mystification of a great modern, careless of fame and scornful of his time? |
| 10315 | Was the capture of Mázinderán equal in valorous exertion to the capture of the Brazen Fortress? |
| 10315 | Was this"Weltschmerz,"which we thought a malady of our day, endemic in Persia in 1100? |
| 10315 | We never injured Saiáwush; the kings Of Ind and Chín are guiltless of his blood; Then why this wrath on strangers? |
| 10315 | We two, and our armies, have often met, and dost thou now shrink from the fight?" |
| 10315 | What Chieftain dares our war- like realms invade?" |
| 10315 | What Zú Salam''s state? |
| 10315 | What boots it to be pale with fear, And dread each grief that waits us here? |
| 10315 | What change is this that fate Has wrought upon thee?" |
| 10315 | What could impel thee to an act so base? |
| 10315 | What could induce The dream of conquering Mázinderán? |
| 10315 | What could the people do in their despair? |
| 10315 | What has become of all thy valour now? |
| 10315 | What have we now to fear?" |
| 10315 | What have we to do With Kai- kobád the Great, or Kai- khosráu? |
| 10315 | What is a Demon- host to me, Their magic spells and sorcery? |
| 10315 | What is the bond which binds the Rubáiyát- maker in far- off Persia to the literati of modern Anglo- Saxondom? |
| 10315 | What is the world without a governor, What, but a headless trunk? |
| 10315 | What is thy choice?" |
| 10315 | What kindred hast thou to lament thy fall?" |
| 10315 | What mighty Chieftain rules his cohorts there? |
| 10315 | What said the Moralist? |
| 10315 | What valiant Chief, regardless of his life? |
| 10315 | What words of gratitude, O Háfiz Shall thy reed''s tongue express anon, As its choice gems of composition From hands to other hands pass on? |
| 10315 | What work of thine befits the tented plain? |
| 10315 | What, but to earn and prove thy own disgrace? |
| 10315 | What, without asking, hither hurried_ Whence_? |
| 10315 | When Háfiz rapt has grown, How, at one barleycorn, Should he appraise the realm, E''en of Káús the Kay? |
| 10315 | When dumb grow tongues of men that on such love would dwell, Why should a tongue- cleft pen by babbling strive to tell? |
| 10315 | When gloomy fate descends in evil hour, Can human wisdom bribe her favouring power? |
| 10315 | When this letter was conveyed by the hands of Kabús to Irán, Lohurásp, upon reading it, was moved to laughter, and exclaimed,"What is all this? |
| 10315 | Whence comes this hero of the prosperous star? |
| 10315 | Where can we see her winking brow, that we, as the new moon of old, At once may the celestial ball, as with a bat of gold, Draw? |
| 10315 | Where hast thou heard the clash of mace and sword Wielded by men of valour? |
| 10315 | Where is a lamp unlighted, and the clear Day- star''s light? |
| 10315 | Where is calm slumber, where? |
| 10315 | Where is now The raging tiger, the victorious chief? |
| 10315 | Where is regard for sermons, where is the rebeck''s Tone? |
| 10315 | Where is that voice of anger, where those coquettish ways? |
| 10315 | Where is the abode of that sly Moon who lovers robs of life? |
| 10315 | Where now can Fríburz, Tús, Gíw, Gúdarz, be, And the world- conquering Rustem, where is he?" |
| 10315 | Wherefore to others give the base command? |
| 10315 | Wherever I move, conquest marks my way; why then should I fear the sovereign of Persia? |
| 10315 | Whither thus quickly? |
| 10315 | Who ever looks on woman- kind for aught Save wickedness and folly? |
| 10315 | Who ever trusted woman? |
| 10315 | Who that my Silvern Tree hath seen, Would regard the cypress that decks the green? |
| 10315 | Who, but Hujír? |
| 10315 | Who, but the low descendant of a blacksmith? |
| 10315 | Who, loved like thee, my bosom- sorrows share? |
| 10315 | Whom shall I take to fill thy vacant place, To whom extend a mother''s soft embrace? |
| 10315 | Why Rustem''s praise so proudly urge to me? |
| 10315 | Why are the tear- drops in the warrior''s eyes? |
| 10315 | Why did he penetrate thy secret chambers, And bring to light the beautiful Shahrnáz, And red- lipped Arnawáz?" |
| 10315 | Why didst thou also idly fill the minds of my soldiers with groundless fears?" |
| 10315 | Why do the good Suffer in this world, but to be prepared For future rest and happiness? |
| 10315 | Why for the elephant- bodied hero ask? |
| 10315 | Why give the brains of my beloved children As serpent- food, and talk of doing justice?" |
| 10315 | Why hast thou done this wrong? |
| 10315 | Why hast thou flung, in evil day, The veil of modesty away? |
| 10315 | Why hast thou shed thy innocent brother''s blood? |
| 10315 | Why o''er his splendid dawning did I roll The clouds of death-- and plunge my burthened soul In agony? |
| 10315 | Why of her face so beautifully fair? |
| 10315 | Why seek pretences to destroy my life? |
| 10315 | Why should I submit to him?" |
| 10315 | Why should he, the foul ingrate, Cast destruction in my path?" |
| 10315 | Why still of Rustem urge the frequent tale? |
| 10315 | Why the royal scroll Torn in thy presence, with a look and voice Of proud defiance, by the rebel blacksmith? |
| 10315 | Why then should he make war upon thee? |
| 10315 | Why thus so eagerly inquire? |
| 10315 | Why trembling shrink, by coward thoughts dismayed, Must we not all in dust, at length, be laid? |
| 10315 | Why was I sentenced to be trod upon, And crushed to death by elephants? |
| 10315 | Why, be this Juice the growth of God, who dare Blaspheme the twisted tendril as a Snare? |
| 10315 | Why, then, should not I be revenged on the father of Rustem for the death of Isfendiyár?" |
| 10315 | Will not reproaches hang upon my name When I am dead, and shall I not be cursed For perpetrating such a horrid deed? |
| 10315 | Will they resist my trenchant blade? |
| 10315 | With Fancy''s hundred wisps what wonder that I''ve strayed, When Adam in his prudence was by a grain bewrayed? |
| 10315 | Would it not then be cowardly to decline the contest with him?" |
| 10315 | Would that restore my own to me? |
| 10315 | XXIX Who of a Heaven on earth can tell, pure as the cell-- Of dervishes? |
| 10315 | Ye know what ye have done; Have ye not murdered him who, trusting, sought Protection from ye? |
| 10315 | Yet from that depth, at one prodigious spring, Rakush escaped with Rustem on his back; But what availed that effort? |
| 10315 | Yet who am I that sacred temple to tread? |
| 10315 | Zál, in agony, Tore his white hair, and wildly rent his garments, And cried:"Why did not I die for him, why Was I not present, fighting by his side? |
| 10315 | [ 15] My heart abhors the cloister, and the false cowl its sign: Where is the Magian''s cloister, and where is his pure wine? |
| 10315 | [ 23] On me shall Tús, shall Káús dare to frown? |
| 10315 | [ 36] Where is the fire of Sinäi, where is the meeting place? |

| 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 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 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? |
| 11461 | ''Your Highness seeks a saddle?" |
| 11461 | ''Aunt Hripsime, why are you so cross? 11461 ''But why such haste?'' |
| 11461 | ''Do they pay visits at this hour?'' 11461 ''Have I bought the goods?'' |
| 11461 | ''Have you lost your wits, man?'' 11461 ''Is the ring not in the chest of drawers?'' |
| 11461 | ''Now, now, Mr. Sarkis, are you coming to my house to- morrow?'' 11461 ''Take them,''said Sarkis,''but take care that they do not go astray, for--''"''But what are you thinking about?'' |
| 11461 | ''What are you talking about, Auntie Mairam?'' 11461 ''What is there to see? |
| 11461 | ''When did he start?'' 11461 ''Where did you buy the tea?'' |
| 11461 | ''Where is he then?'' 11461 ''Who can come to- day, so late?'' |
| 11461 | ''Who is your master?'' 11461 ''You fellow,''I said,''who told your master to send these goods here? |
| 11461 | And do you know what this bad fellow said to our Sarkis after a short silence? 11461 Are thy spume- drifts tears, O Mother, Tears for those that are no more? |
| 11461 | Are you certain that the house of Sarkis, the grocer, stood here? 11461 Brother who hast pierced a steel shield with a steel spear, whither is God leading us?" |
| 11461 | But could he free himself from that Satan of a Hemorrhoid Jack? 11461 But where, now, are all my people? |
| 11461 | Did you know him, then? |
| 11461 | Do you know? |
| 11461 | Do you think you have conquered the giants Schibikan and Hamsa? |
| 11461 | For whom, then, is the liver? |
| 11461 | Gay should be thy mood, O Mother, As the sturgeons leap in glee: Ocean''s merging still is distant, Shouldest thou be sad, like me? 11461 Had you such a dream?" |
| 11461 | Have you a dog in your yard? |
| 11461 | Have you heard of him? 11461 How does the city stand in regard to sickness?" |
| 11461 | How should I know what he said? |
| 11461 | Is not, then, the cause of these diseases known to you? |
| 11461 | Know''st thou not that I am widowed; Sons and daughters, consort, dead? 11461 No; how can I know what he said?" |
| 11461 | Nurse Hripsime, where is Sarkis and his family now? |
| 11461 | What astonishes you, my boy? 11461 What do you want, my child?" |
| 11461 | What have you done to your hair to make it like gold? |
| 11461 | What was it, then? |
| 11461 | Where have you been? |
| 11461 | Who are you? |
| 11461 | Wouldst thou have me decked in splendor, To rejoice a stranger''s sight, While the aliens that haunt me Bring me loathing, not delight? 11461 You will really eat the liver yourselves?" |
| 11461 | Your parents were acquainted with him? |
| 11461 | ''And have you the ring by you? |
| 11461 | ''Can any man in his full senses buy anything of Yellow Pogos? |
| 11461 | ''Can one sell a souvenir of the Czar, and one of such great value? |
| 11461 | ''Do n''t you understand a joke? |
| 11461 | ''Do you know, I am afraid to undertake a new trade? |
| 11461 | ''Do you not believe me? |
| 11461 | ''How much do you pay an ell? |
| 11461 | ''What will come of it?'' |
| 11461 | ''What wind has blown you here? |
| 11461 | ''Where are they gone?'' |
| 11461 | ''Who is it routs about in the chest of drawers in the night?'' |
| 11461 | ***** LONGING Tell me, brother, where is rest From the flame that racks my breast With its pain? |
| 11461 | ***** ONE OF A THOUSAND Sweet lady, whence the sadness in your face? |
| 11461 | A favored wife, Whose mighty husband can her wants suffice; Why mar with grieving such a fortunate life? |
| 11461 | Abamelik''s children in trouble, and I sitting at a banquet? |
| 11461 | Alexander, why were you so long? |
| 11461 | Am I a millionaire? |
| 11461 | Am I crazy because I show up your villanies? |
| 11461 | Am I dreaming or am I still awake? |
| 11461 | Am I not providing for her, you wicked woman? |
| 11461 | Am I not right? |
| 11461 | Am I not worth more than that piece of paper? |
| 11461 | Am I stingy? |
| 11461 | Am I then crazy? |
| 11461 | Am I to be a bankrupt as well as he? |
| 11461 | Am I to blame for this? |
| 11461 | Am I your servant, that you speak so roughly? |
| 11461 | Am I, then, so much to blame here? |
| 11461 | Am I, then, to make a mess of this!--I who have always been willing to make any sacrifice for my children? |
| 11461 | And Sanassar said to Abamelik,"Since we have run away from our father, why should we bear his name? |
| 11461 | And are you going to show the ring, too? |
| 11461 | And ca n''t we wait till he comes back? |
| 11461 | And certainly as much for this? |
| 11461 | And do you know where? |
| 11461 | And do you know, also, whose money he is going to use? |
| 11461 | And for this? |
| 11461 | And for this[_ taking another_]? |
| 11461 | And how are you, aunt? |
| 11461 | And how? |
| 11461 | And if I did say so, what does it amount to? |
| 11461 | And if I do it, will others do it also? |
| 11461 | And if I had known it? |
| 11461 | And my Nato pleases you, dear son- in- law? |
| 11461 | And one of them sang:"Holbaschi, dear Holbaschi, went hence like a cruel wolf, Why come you back to us like a hunting dog? |
| 11461 | And to whom beside? |
| 11461 | And what better are you? |
| 11461 | And what can one say to the others if a laborer''s wife puts on so much style? |
| 11461 | And what do I pay her? |
| 11461 | And what else? |
| 11461 | And what expenses have they with it? |
| 11461 | And what have Micho''s ears to do with it? |
| 11461 | And what have you gotten ready for again? |
| 11461 | And what if it can not be arranged for that sum? |
| 11461 | And what is that yonder[_ points to the furniture_]? |
| 11461 | And what kind of brothers are there now, as a rule? |
| 11461 | And what kind of sisters and fathers and mothers? |
| 11461 | And what will people say when to- morrow or the day after my creditors come and chase me out of my house? |
| 11461 | And who are you, then? |
| 11461 | And whom should he ask? |
| 11461 | And why did n''t you pluck them? |
| 11461 | And why have you had me so well educated? |
| 11461 | And wo n''t a little less satisfy you? |
| 11461 | And would I be stingy toward my own child? |
| 11461 | And you have done this without Ossep''s knowing it? |
| 11461 | And you really did not know that I wished to give him my daughter? |
| 11461 | And you really think that your father will ask you? |
| 11461 | And you think that I believe you? |
| 11461 | And, Salome, do you know that he lied? |
| 11461 | Are there many such creatures in these parts?" |
| 11461 | Are they, then, your equals? |
| 11461 | Are we able to do that? |
| 11461 | Are we such poor beggars that we can not have something good and valuable in our chest? |
| 11461 | Are you any poorer than he, that you grumble like a bear about 2,000 rubles? |
| 11461 | Are you going out when I have just come? |
| 11461 | Are you going to fail again soon? |
| 11461 | Are you mad? |
| 11461 | Are you not ashamed to make such speeches? |
| 11461 | Are you not sorry? |
| 11461 | Are you sure you''re not lying? |
| 11461 | BARSSEGH[_ aside._] How comes this crazy fellow here? |
| 11461 | Brought action against you? |
| 11461 | But go on, what has happened? |
| 11461 | But how does it stand? |
| 11461 | But if he has received on account of this debt the note of a third person? |
| 11461 | But tell me how is it to be managed? |
| 11461 | But what can I do, when I need it so badly? |
| 11461 | But what could he do? |
| 11461 | But what do you say to that shameless fellow? |
| 11461 | But what do you say to the wife of blind Gigoli? |
| 11461 | But what do you think, aunt? |
| 11461 | But what has occurred? |
| 11461 | But what is going on here? |
| 11461 | But where does one find among our women insight and forethought? |
| 11461 | But where is the child? |
| 11461 | But who can be reasonable and speak to you? |
| 11461 | But who could have foreseen it? |
| 11461 | But why do you seem so angry? |
| 11461 | But, by the way, Salome, do you know what I have heard? |
| 11461 | But, my dear Khali, what kind of things are you saying to me? |
| 11461 | Ca n''t you forbid him to enter your doors? |
| 11461 | Ca n''t you get that half werschok out of it? |
| 11461 | Ca n''t you understand that? |
| 11461 | Can I go on with these doings? |
| 11461 | Can I say that I can not pay them because Santurian has given me nothing? |
| 11461 | Can I see it? |
| 11461 | Can a man endure it any longer? |
| 11461 | Can anything be more cynical? |
| 11461 | Can one meet his son- in- law like that? |
| 11461 | Can she pronounce ten French words fluently? |
| 11461 | Can she write a page without mistakes? |
| 11461 | Can we go on living so? |
| 11461 | Can you not understand at all what yes and no mean? |
| 11461 | Can your daughter be compared to my Nato? |
| 11461 | Coal- soup, perhaps, or water- soup? |
| 11461 | Could you not wait a moment? |
| 11461 | Could you not wait till the man of the house arrived? |
| 11461 | Dare I taste these cherries? |
| 11461 | Dare one not jest?'' |
| 11461 | David said to him:"Will you give me your daughter for a wife?" |
| 11461 | David then turned to Gorgis and said:"Where can I see Chandud- Chanum?" |
| 11461 | David thought the shepherd was scolding him and said,"Fellow, what have I done to you that you rail at me?" |
| 11461 | Dear Natalie, why are you so silent? |
| 11461 | Dear Ossep, why are you so obstinate? |
| 11461 | Did he not sell his last house and afterward lived like a beggar to give his daughter a proper dowry? |
| 11461 | Did n''t you know very well that I wished to give my daughter to him? |
| 11461 | Did not Mösramelik come and take our children away? |
| 11461 | Did you not say that Jack was going to play a trick on me? |
| 11461 | Did you send word by anyone that you were going to give your daughter to the man? |
| 11461 | Did your father Matus come riding to his store in a carriage, eh? |
| 11461 | Do I have anything to do with him? |
| 11461 | Do all these things you have said in my presence amount to anything? |
| 11461 | Do n''t you hear? |
| 11461 | Do n''t you know him? |
| 11461 | Do n''t you know that he is a swindler? |

| 11461 | Do you know, what, aunt? |
| 11461 | Do you like to visit the Casino? |

| 11461 | Do you not know that married people often have little quarrels? |
| 11461 | Do you not see his greedy eyes? |
| 11461 | Do you not think, Alexander, that Thursday will be best? |
| 11461 | Do you see? |
| 11461 | Do you still talk about old manners and customs? |
| 11461 | Do you think I am in need of purchasers? |
| 11461 | Do you think I am like them? |
| 11461 | Do you think I am lying? |
| 11461 | Do you think I could deny you any pleasure? |
| 11461 | Do you think I do not know that you promised him more than we did? |
| 11461 | Do you think because I owe you money I shall stand your insults? |
| 11461 | Do you think that there is a class of goods more profitable than this? |
| 11461 | Do you think that you will have to look up customers? |
| 11461 | Do you think you have brought me the heads of the giants Hamsa of Lori and Schibikan of Chorassan, that you kiss me a fourth time?" |
| 11461 | Do you want him to make me the talk of the town? |
| 11461 | Do you want me to make still more out of it? |
| 11461 | Do you want to sit here alone? |
| 11461 | Do you, then, believe that I will overlook my wife''s hair being pulled out? |
| 11461 | Does anyone understand me? |

| 11461 | For what reason? |
| 11461 | For whom are you saving? |
| 11461 | For whom, then? |

| 11461 | Has no one invited them, then? |
| 11461 | Has she spoken the truth? |
| 11461 | Have I already fallen so low that I must ask alms? |
| 11461 | Have I ever kept back from you any of your money? |
| 11461 | Have I ever sold damaged goods on credit, that you make such a supposition? |
| 11461 | Have I learned Russian and French and piano- playing for a man of that sort? |
| 11461 | Have I managed it so? |
| 11461 | Have I not presented three or four young persons to you as sons- in- law? |
| 11461 | Have I not trouble enough already? |
| 11461 | Have n''t we trouble and anxiety enough? |
| 11461 | Have n''t you committed every crime? |
| 11461 | Have n''t you learned yet how to steal half a werschok? |
| 11461 | Have n''t you seen how Dartscho measures? |
| 11461 | Have n''t you set your neighbors''stores on fire? |
| 11461 | Have they put seals on my store? |
| 11461 | Have we ordered anything? |
| 11461 | Have you a receipt for it? |
| 11461 | Have you anything to show for it? |
| 11461 | Have you brought me my money? |
| 11461 | Have you ever seen anything like it, aunt? |
| 11461 | Have you ever seen how a bird- catcher lures the birds into his net-- how he whistles to them? |
| 11461 | Have you just come? |
| 11461 | Have you no conscience? |
| 11461 | Have you seen him? |
| 11461 | Have you seen this hostage of God? |
| 11461 | Have you seen, in a June- tide nooning, A languorous full- blown rose In the arms of the lilies swooning And yielding her sweets to her foes? |
| 11461 | Have you spoken with him? |
| 11461 | Have you, then, no sense of fun?'' |
| 11461 | He met on the march seven women, and said to them,"Sing and dance until I return,"and they answered:"Why shall we dance and sing? |
| 11461 | He saw a youth standing near the door with a club in his hand, David said:"Ha, my lad, what do they call you?" |
| 11461 | He sent an iron bar with both ends shaped alike and asked:"Which is the top and which is the bottom? |
| 11461 | How am I to reduce expenses here? |
| 11461 | How are you, Madame Salome? |
| 11461 | How are you, my son? |
| 11461 | How are you? |
| 11461 | How are you? |
| 11461 | How can I do otherwise? |
| 11461 | How can I give it when I have not so much? |
| 11461 | How can I satisfy them now? |
| 11461 | How can I serve you? |
| 11461 | How can Ossep help it if your daughter is as dumb as straw and has a mouth three ells long? |
| 11461 | How can it injure me that Santurian has failed? |
| 11461 | How can one retrench here? |
| 11461 | How can you be so unscrupulous? |
| 11461 | How can you indulge in such insolence? |
| 11461 | How can you say such a thing, dear Ossep? |
| 11461 | How can you say that? |
| 11461 | How comes it that you demand it so suddenly? |
| 11461 | How could anyone endure all that? |
| 11461 | How could it be managed, dear aunt? |
| 11461 | How could it be otherwise?" |
| 11461 | How could you let him escape? |
| 11461 | How could you trust the scamp so blindly? |
| 11461 | How does it happen that they all thought of us at once? |
| 11461 | How high does it come by the ell? |
| 11461 | How is one to trust any human being nowadays? |
| 11461 | How is this for a twelve- story building? |
| 11461 | How long shall we stay here and eat meat without salt? |
| 11461 | How long, Mösramelik, are you going to encroach upon my inheritance?" |
| 11461 | How much did we promise him? |
| 11461 | How much did you promise him? |
| 11461 | How pretty it is, is n''t it? |
| 11461 | How shall I begin? |
| 11461 | How was I to find it out? |
| 11461 | How, then? |
| 11461 | However, what is the use of so much talk? |
| 11461 | I am a man; do you understand me? |
| 11461 | I am still more to be pitied; but who pities me? |
| 11461 | I am talking about great gains, great profits; do you think it is a joke?'' |
| 11461 | I ask you, aunt, does that seem right? |
| 11461 | I asked a boy,''My child, do you know where the people of this house are?'' |
| 11461 | I know that everything can be lost-- but a spring, how can that be lost?" |
| 11461 | I was obliged to give them some information about it, was I not? |
| 11461 | I went up to him, pushed his elbow, and whispered:"''What are you doing, you good- natured fool? |
| 11461 | I would like to know whose money it is? |
| 11461 | If I run after the rubles and lose the kopecks thereby, who will give me something to eat?'' |
| 11461 | If it remains lying by me and spoils--''"''What empty straw are you threshing now?'' |
| 11461 | If it was arranged so easily, why have you wrangled and quarrelled so much? |
| 11461 | If other people break their heads against a stone, shall I do the same? |
| 11461 | If the stuff does not go off or spoils on my hands or the price falls, what shall I do? |
| 11461 | If we can have one kind, why do we use the other? |
| 11461 | If you are willing to give 6,000 rubles, you will surely not let the whole thing go to pieces for the sake of 500 or 1,000 more? |
| 11461 | If you do n''t want to have all those things ca n''t you manage the house another way? |
| 11461 | If you love her so much, dear son, why did you exact so much money? |
| 11461 | In what are you better? |
| 11461 | In what way am I to blame for it? |
| 11461 | Indeed, who would not only sacrifice a costly saddle( and this one was not worth much), but even his life, gladly, if need be? |
| 11461 | Is a merchant such a bad fellow? |
| 11461 | Is a women''s spat our affair? |
| 11461 | Is he not thy brother? |
| 11461 | Is he to accompany me to the club and to the theatre? |
| 11461 | Is he, also, to take me walking on the boulevard? |
| 11461 | Is it an old custom to wear, instead of Georgian shoes, little boots-- and with men''s heels, too? |
| 11461 | Is it for this you called me in? |
| 11461 | Is it my fault that your daughter has a wide mouth? |
| 11461 | Is it not too bad about her? |
| 11461 | Is it possible? |
| 11461 | Is it really true, mamma dear? |
| 11461 | Is it really true? |
| 11461 | Is it true? |
| 11461 | Is n''t it an effort at retrenchment when I say that I can not afford it? |
| 11461 | Is n''t that shameful? |
| 11461 | Is n''t that true? |
| 11461 | Is n''t that true? |
| 11461 | Is n''t this shameful, now, what goes on here? |
| 11461 | Is n''t your word enough? |
| 11461 | Is not Nato my child also? |
| 11461 | Is not liver to be eaten, then?" |
| 11461 | Is not that enough? |
| 11461 | Is she a stranger to me? |
| 11461 | Is she able to sew anything? |
| 11461 | Is she not at home? |
| 11461 | Is such want of thought consistent with reason? |
| 11461 | Is that a mulberry- tree, then, that one has only to shake and thousands will fall from it? |
| 11461 | Is that generous? |
| 11461 | Is that really true? |
| 11461 | Is that sort of an education for the like of us? |
| 11461 | Is that true? |
| 11461 | Is that widow, the stout one, going to play with you? |
| 11461 | Is the note attested by a notary? |
| 11461 | Is there another place where one can amuse one''s self better? |
| 11461 | Is there any business man worthy to untie his shoe- strings? |
| 11461 | Is there anyone who does not know the scoundrel? |
| 11461 | Is this despair?" |
| 11461 | It is decided, then? |
| 11461 | It lacks three werschok? |
| 11461 | Khali, how can you say that? |
| 11461 | Let us suppose I was dead: would it not be your sacred duty to provide for her future? |
| 11461 | Listen to me; are you not sorry for Nato? |
| 11461 | MICHO[_ crying._] What do you want of me? |
| 11461 | Mairam,''said the scoundrel, smirking,''why are you so angry? |
| 11461 | Mamma, is what you say true? |
| 11461 | May one not joke with you?'' |
| 11461 | Mcher asked him:"By what occupation do you live?" |
| 11461 | My dear Ossep, why do you revive those old memories? |
| 11461 | My father, when do you wish the betrothal to be celebrated? |
| 11461 | My son, who takes a thing like that to heart? |
| 11461 | Nato, did you do it? |
| 11461 | Nato, shall you give evening parties like this? |
| 11461 | Now Sanassar said to Abamelik:"Brother, shall we build the house first or the huts for the servants? |
| 11461 | Now tell me, I pray, what has become of him? |
| 11461 | Now you are punished, are you not? |
| 11461 | Now, Godfather Gorgis, who is in the house?" |
| 11461 | Now, aunt, you come so seldom to our house, and just to- day you happen in: how does that come? |
| 11461 | Now, is it not true? |
| 11461 | Now, was n''t that a good trade? |
| 11461 | Now? |
| 11461 | O aunt, are you here, too? |
| 11461 | O aunt, you are here? |
| 11461 | Of what good is this education if it ruins me? |
| 11461 | On credit? |
| 11461 | Ossep, what nonsense are you talking? |
| 11461 | Ought they not to know at your uncle''s house that we have betrothed our daughter? |
| 11461 | Ought we not to live as our fathers lived and stay in our own sphere, so that we could eat our bread with a good appetite? |
| 11461 | Retrench, is it? |
| 11461 | Righteous God, why dost thou punish me thus? |
| 11461 | Rostom''s''note? |
| 11461 | Sarkis noticed this, and asked me smiling:"What is the matter?" |
| 11461 | Sarkis''s wife came to me and said,''Why will you live so lonely in your house? |
| 11461 | Sarkis, do you know why I have come to you?'' |
| 11461 | Say, does she not deserve to be soundly beaten, now? |
| 11461 | Seeing the youth jump down and begin to eat from her plate, she rushed out and said to him,"Who are you?" |
| 11461 | Shall I send you a few chests of it?'' |
| 11461 | Shall I sit here and feast? |
| 11461 | Shall we go? |
| 11461 | Shall we really give her to a business man for a wife? |
| 11461 | Shall your angel cheeks fade from the heat of the oven and your eyes lose their diamond- shine from sewing?'' |
| 11461 | Shall your tender hands become hard as leather with washing, ironing, kneading, and who knows what housework beside? |
| 11461 | Since when have you become such a niggard? |
| 11461 | So it seems that it can not be managed? |
| 11461 | So soon? |
| 11461 | So that he will not let me pass by in the streets? |
| 11461 | So you have betrothed your daughter? |
| 11461 | So you knew it very well? |
| 11461 | Speak, what has occurred? |
| 11461 | Speak; what is it? |
| 11461 | Still, what was to be done? |
| 11461 | Tell me one thing-- is this to be endured? |
| 11461 | Tell me what I can do about it? |
| 11461 | Tell me, can we count ourselves among those persons who can give their daughter 10,000 rubles for a dowry? |
| 11461 | Tell me, what can she do? |
| 11461 | That is all very well, dear Salome; but if the thing can not be done, what then? |
| 11461 | The brother with the sharp ears said:"Brother who hast pierced a steel shield with a steel spear, do you understand what the King said?" |
| 11461 | The graybeard cursed David and said:"Dost thou not fear God? |
| 11461 | The man with the sharp ears heard them, and said,"Brother who hast pierced a steel shield with a steel spear, do you understand what the King said?" |
| 11461 | The mother said,"Why will you not tell me?" |
| 11461 | The old Dew said,"Maiden, why do you weep?" |
| 11461 | The one who brought money to- day? |
| 11461 | The shepherd answered:"Who are you? |
| 11461 | Then David asked:"What kind of a club have you? |
| 11461 | Then I am lost-- who will trust me then? |
| 11461 | Then the shepherd said,"Mcher, when will you leave this place?" |
| 11461 | Then you really love me so much? |
| 11461 | They are quite dry; and what does anybody care about my eyes? |
| 11461 | They found favor with the Emir of Arsrom, and he asked them of their birth and of their tribe, and said,"What manner of men are you?" |
| 11461 | They have put seals on it, then? |
| 11461 | They say that Leproink is trying for him also; is that true? |
| 11461 | This pleased the King greatly, and he said:"My children, whither came ye? |
| 11461 | To whom have you sold them? |
| 11461 | To whom? |
| 11461 | Was not one or two enough? |
| 11461 | Well? |
| 11461 | Well?'' |
| 11461 | Were n''t the old times much better? |
| 11461 | Were your parents of better rank than mine? |
| 11461 | What am I chattering about? |
| 11461 | What am I to do if there is no other way out? |
| 11461 | What am I to do when the cloth is too short? |
| 11461 | What are the poorer people to learn from us if we give them such an example? |
| 11461 | What are we to do with him, then? |
| 11461 | What are you accusing me of? |
| 11461 | What are you doing? |
| 11461 | What are you gazing around for, sir? |
| 11461 | What are you good for? |
| 11461 | What are you saying about dreams? |
| 11461 | What are you saying about serving? |
| 11461 | What are you saying, Ossep? |
| 11461 | What are you saying, dear aunt? |
| 11461 | What are you saying? |
| 11461 | What are you so ill- humored about? |
| 11461 | What are you up to? |
| 11461 | What brings you to our house? |
| 11461 | What can move me away from here? |
| 11461 | What can you do to me? |
| 11461 | What commands have you, Mr. Barssegh? |
| 11461 | What could I do but buy new ones? |
| 11461 | What could I do, then, if you were stingy about the money? |
| 11461 | What could happen? |
| 11461 | What did he say? |
| 11461 | What did he say?" |
| 11461 | What did you pay for this? |
| 11461 | What did you say, Gewo? |
| 11461 | What do I hear? |
| 11461 | What do I need it for now? |
| 11461 | What do I see? |
| 11461 | What do you mean by it? |
| 11461 | What do you mean? |
| 11461 | What do you say about it now? |
| 11461 | What do you say, Gewo? |
| 11461 | What do you say? |
| 11461 | What do you take me for? |
| 11461 | What do you think of this stuff? |
| 11461 | What do you think you will be in my eyes after this? |
| 11461 | What do you want, sir? |
| 11461 | What do you want, then? |
| 11461 | What does a shopkeeper want of a piano? |
| 11461 | What does all this mean? |
| 11461 | What does an ass know about almonds? |
| 11461 | What does he think about it? |
| 11461 | What does it mean? |
| 11461 | What does she understand? |
| 11461 | What does the blind care if candles are dear? |
| 11461 | What else do I want to say? |
| 11461 | What fault have you to find with my daughter? |
| 11461 | What good deeds have we done that we should expect God''s mercy? |
| 11461 | What has Ossep done to you that you want revenge? |
| 11461 | What has come over you, Ossep? |

| 11461 | What have you in your hand, sweetheart? |

| 11461 | What is it? |
| 11461 | What is the matter now? |

| 11461 | What ought I to give you for such a ring? |
| 11461 | What shall I do with them?" |
| 11461 | What shall I say, then? |
| 11461 | What should I do with it?" |
| 11461 | What sort of tomfoolery are you talking to us? |
| 11461 | What was she to do? |
| 11461 | What was to be done? |

| 11461 | What''s all this noise about? |

| 11461 | What, indeed, do you want? |
| 11461 | What? |
| 11461 | What? |
| 11461 | What? |
| 11461 | What? |
| 11461 | What?'' |

| 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 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 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 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 | 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?'' |

| 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 | ?" |
| 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 | 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 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 | 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#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 | 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? |

| 27001 | Whose is this terrible thing? |

| 27001 | Why do you look at me so? |
| 27001 | Why do you run away like that, fool? 27001 Why do you run?" |
| 27001 | Why do you sit with folded arms like a self- satisfied old man? 27001 Why do you stand there like clay images?" |

| 27001 | You call a prayer- book a squirrel? |
| 27001 | You do n''t know what the frozen sea is? 27001 You do not recognize me, foolish boy? |
| 27001 | You killed them? |
| 27001 | You must set her free? |
| 27001 | You probably mean to ask what are we going to do without a Tabernacle? |
| 27001 | Your property? |
| 27001 | Yousef? |
| 27001 | ( Who told you I have locust- beans?)" |
| 27001 | *** Can you tell me what was the matter with Busie? |
| 27001 | *** Need I tell you what I got from my mother? |
| 27001 | *** Surely it is no one''s affair if a Jewish young man goes for a walk on the Sabbath afternoon a little beyond the town? |
| 27001 | *** To go to the synagogue with one''s father on the Passover eve-- is there in the world a greater pleasure than that? |
| 27001 | *** What do you say to my brother-- how he translated the"Book of Esther"? |
| 27001 | *** What happened? |
| 27001 | *** Where was I? |
| 27001 | *** Who is Busie-- what is she? |
| 27001 | *** Why was I beaten? |
| 27001 | *** You have not forgotten who Busie is? |
| 27001 | *** You want to know what happened? |
| 27001 | ***"Busie, am I to congratulate you?" |
| 27001 | ***"Children, do you want to hear of a good plan that will rid us of our Gog- Magog?" |
| 27001 | ***"Children,"said Elya to us,"why are we sitting like lumps of stone? |
| 27001 | ***"Father of the Universe,"thought I, when I was going off with the"_ Purim_"present,"what can my brother have written to the teacher''s daughter? |

| 27001 | ***"Well?" |
| 27001 | ***"Why so late? |
| 27001 | A duck? |
| 27001 | A little old man with a long beard appears before me, and says to me:''What is your request?'' |
| 27001 | A''_ Gemarra_''? |
| 27001 | About nuts?" |
| 27001 | Abraham-- why?" |
| 27001 | Afterwards, if there''s a fine to do, will I be to blame? |
| 27001 | Again a book? |
| 27001 | Again he shook the cap, and again he asked:"Odd or even this time?" |
| 27001 | Ah, is that you, mother, mother? |
| 27001 | Ah, what has become of the brilliance, and the holy splendour of our little old synagogue? |
| 27001 | Ah, what was I to do? |
| 27001 | Ah, who could compare with me? |
| 27001 | All alone?" |
| 27001 | Am I doing you any harm?" |
| 27001 | And Elya? |
| 27001 | And I asked myself:"Is it then true? |
| 27001 | And I? |
| 27001 | And I? |
| 27001 | And Leibel? |
| 27001 | And all the while he kept looking at me out of his roguish little eyes, and winking to me as if he would say:"Well, is n''t it so? |
| 27001 | And did his teacher also----? |
| 27001 | And do you think Arya Veribivker said this for no reason? |
| 27001 | And for what reason was I to tell him I had been suffering from the ague?... |
| 27001 | And how could one help hating him? |
| 27001 | And how did they kill her? |
| 27001 | And how, do you think? |
| 27001 | And how, do you think? |
| 27001 | And how? |
| 27001 | And just think who won? |
| 27001 | And my brother Mottel? |
| 27001 | And not only cows and other animals and fowls, but do not men slaughter one another? |
| 27001 | And our rabbi? |
| 27001 | And really, what sort of a thing is laughter? |
| 27001 | And the good angel of whom my mother spoke? |
| 27001 | And those thick green plants lying on the ground, with huge green heads-- the cabbages, what are they doing here? |
| 27001 | And through what? |
| 27001 | And to me? |
| 27001 | And to talk with her? |
| 27001 | And to what end? |
| 27001 | And what about the''_ Chanukali_''lamp? |
| 27001 | And what can be more disgraceful than to strip anybody stark naked and put him in a corner? |
| 27001 | And what can father do? |
| 27001 | And what does he, Nachman, know? |
| 27001 | And what had the tale to do with him and Feitel? |
| 27001 | And what is his rod for, anyway? |
| 27001 | And what of the palm- branch and the citron? |
| 27001 | And what sort of floggings? |
| 27001 | And when one reads the"Song of Songs,"Busie rises to one''s mind? |
| 27001 | And where did he get so much strength? |
| 27001 | And where does it say he loved a maiden? |
| 27001 | And where is this, and where is that?" |
| 27001 | And where is your father''s prayer- book?" |
| 27001 | And wherefore? |
| 27001 | And who had done this? |
| 27001 | And who was Isaac? |
| 27001 | And who was Joseph? |
| 27001 | And whom was he to give an account to? |
| 27001 | And whom would I pay heed to? |
| 27001 | And why did the hair not fall out of his uncovered head? |
| 27001 | And why do you call him Mottel? |
| 27001 | And why have her cheeks turned scarlet? |
| 27001 | And why were they glad that the Passover was gone? |
| 27001 | Are n''t you a fool?" |
| 27001 | Are there not people in the world called Goat? |
| 27001 | Are we not sister and brother?" |
| 27001 | Are you here again, foolish goats? |
| 27001 | Are you mad, or have you lost your reason?" |
| 27001 | As I was passing her, I said quickly to Busie:"Perhaps we should go out for a while? |
| 27001 | At the time when we had the"_ Pogrom_,"did not men throw down little children from the tops of houses? |
| 27001 | Bank? |
| 27001 | Before going away, he said:"Perhaps, friend, you have something you would like to sell?" |
| 27001 | Brandy?" |
| 27001 | But Elya stopped to ask a question:"''_ Rebbe_,''did your teacher also flog you as you flog us?" |
| 27001 | But Heifer? |
| 27001 | But I may be caught? |
| 27001 | But ca n''t you do it quicker? |
| 27001 | But how can I come up to Paganini? |
| 27001 | But how can one kiss a father? |
| 27001 | But how comes the cat over the water? |
| 27001 | But how could I speak with her, all alone, the few words I longed to speak, when everybody was present-- when the people were all crowding around me? |
| 27001 | But how is Benny to blame if he wins at play? |
| 27001 | But of what use are such questions as these? |
| 27001 | But shall we ever live to see it-- this same Passover? |
| 27001 | But supposing I have already been promised something towards a citron?" |
| 27001 | But what am I talking about? |
| 27001 | But what does the Lord do for me? |
| 27001 | But what had he against my little knife? |
| 27001 | But what has Berel to do with Tzap, or how does Leib rhyme with Obderick? |
| 27001 | But what is one to do when one is under the yoke of a beadle? |
| 27001 | But what is the matter with Busie? |
| 27001 | But what then? |
| 27001 | But what then? |
| 27001 | But what was I to do next? |
| 27001 | But what was I to make a fiddle out of? |
| 27001 | But what was the consequence? |
| 27001 | But why does she lower her eyes? |
| 27001 | But, of what use were regrets? |
| 27001 | Can there be a more shameful word than flogging? |
| 27001 | Can you not find something to do? |
| 27001 | Confess everything, and give it up? |
| 27001 | Could I close my eyes? |
| 27001 | Dead?... |
| 27001 | Did any one ever hear of such a wrong? |
| 27001 | Did n''t I tell you I have n''t a single one?" |
| 27001 | Did they not kill our neighbours''little girl? |
| 27001 | Did you ever hear such rhymes? |
| 27001 | Did you ever hear the like? |
| 27001 | Did you ever see the like?" |
| 27001 | Do I mean that we are to be really ill? |
| 27001 | Do I not know myself that I must go to prayers? |
| 27001 | Do n''t all people make mistakes sometimes? |
| 27001 | Do n''t you hear the others singing? |
| 27001 | Do n''t you know that''_ Reb_''Pethachiah is a man who charges famine prices?" |
| 27001 | Do n''t you know what buying means? |
| 27001 | Do n''t you see he is drunk?" |
| 27001 | Do you hear what I am saying to you? |
| 27001 | Do you know what I would advise you, Getzel?" |
| 27001 | Do you know what"blind- man''s- buff"is? |
| 27001 | Do you know what''_ Kaballa_''is?" |
| 27001 | Do you not know that I have been compared with"a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of spices"?... |
| 27001 | Do you see that little hill?" |
| 27001 | Do you see this sand? |
| 27001 | Do you think she did not come frequently to the"_ Cheder_"to find out how I was getting on? |
| 27001 | Do you understand me now?" |
| 27001 | Do you want to hear how the poor old beadle was dragged through the whole village by the youngsters, with shouting and singing? |
| 27001 | Do you want to know the taste of Paradise? |
| 27001 | Does it need brains to turn a passage upside down? |
| 27001 | Does it not happen that even the postmaster of our village himself forgets to give up letters? |
| 27001 | Does not our teacher himself tell us that all creatures are dear to the Lord? |
| 27001 | Does the sun ever come here? |
| 27001 | Eh?" |
| 27001 | Even Elya the red one, who is already"_ Bar- mitzvah_,"and is engaged to be married, and wears a silver watch-- do you think he is never flogged? |
| 27001 | Father:"Do I say we should not?" |
| 27001 | Father:"Shall we let them go?" |
| 27001 | Father:"What do you say?" |
| 27001 | For her father who died so young? |
| 27001 | For what reason had my mother been weeping? |
| 27001 | For whom? |
| 27001 | For whom? |
| 27001 | For whose sake? |
| 27001 | Fowls? |
| 27001 | Got it? |
| 27001 | Had she not written many letters to me, often, and given me to understand that she hoped to see me shortly?... |
| 27001 | Had we for the Passover fritters or fresh"_ matzo_"? |
| 27001 | Have I not come back-- have I not returned in good time?... |
| 27001 | Have people really got nothing better to do than to think of others and look after them to see where they are going? |
| 27001 | Have you forgotten? |
| 27001 | Have you no pity for the living-- no mercy for the little birds?" |
| 27001 | Have you said the night prayer? |
| 27001 | Have you the fir- boughs?" |
| 27001 | Have you the nails?" |
| 27001 | Have you the timber?" |
| 27001 | Have you the tools?" |
| 27001 | He answered her in a sing- song:"How much is the little prayer- book? |
| 27001 | He looked at Moshe with a smile, and said, pointing to me:"Had you at any rate a little help from him?" |
| 27001 | He pulled me by the ear and shouted:"Devil, what are you looking at?" |
| 27001 | He said to himself:"Would you also like the kernel of a nut, Getzel? |
| 27001 | He said to me softly:"Tell me, son, on which day do you recite the mourner''s prayer for me?" |
| 27001 | He stood facing me, his hands folded, and he asked me only one solitary question:"Why have you done this to me?" |
| 27001 | He stopped in the middle of the road to say aloud, as if there was some one with him:"Where to? |
| 27001 | He thrust his hands in his pockets, as if challenging us--"Well, who wants more?" |
| 27001 | He was driven off, and was told never to dare to come near the house again...."What was the musician''s boy doing here?" |
| 27001 | How am I to know?" |
| 27001 | How am I to know?" |
| 27001 | How came to me such a fine knife, that was never meant for such as I? |
| 27001 | How can he not know about it?" |
| 27001 | How can one swear to a lie? |
| 27001 | How can we know anything-- how?" |
| 27001 | How could I have allowed it-- that Busie should be taken away from me, and given to some one else? |
| 27001 | How could I have stayed away from Busie for such a long time? |
| 27001 | How could I talk to such a big Okhrim? |
| 27001 | How could any one take hold of a bridegroom- elect who had a gold watch, and smack his face for him? |
| 27001 | How did I know Okhrim? |
| 27001 | How did he look when he was a child, ran about barefoot, went to"_ Cheder_,"and was beaten by his teacher? |
| 27001 | How far are we going to go?" |
| 27001 | How had it sinned in his eyes? |
| 27001 | How had the top come off the citron? |
| 27001 | How is a Jew in health?" |
| 27001 | How is it possible to forget? |
| 27001 | How long are we going to run, Shemak?" |
| 27001 | How long more will this old Isshur with the long legs and big stick rule over us? |
| 27001 | How many legs has a fowl? |
| 27001 | How much do you think Mayer"_ Polkovoi_"would have given to have us blot out the name bestowed upon him,"_ Polkovoi_"? |
| 27001 | How much is it?" |
| 27001 | How old am I, and how old is she? |
| 27001 | How was I going to put it back again? |
| 27001 | How was I to come by it when, as everybody knows, the cedar tree grows only in Palestine? |
| 27001 | How was he to blame if he always won at play? |
| 27001 | How will you recite''_ Haggadah_''? |
| 27001 | How will you sing with me--''Slaves were we''?" |
| 27001 | How, I ask you, could one help hating a teacher who does not allow you to lift your head? |
| 27001 | How, for example, do you feel while I am eating and you are only looking on?" |
| 27001 | I am a little annoyed, and I say to her:"Maybe you do not believe me?" |
| 27001 | I ask you what taste have the week- day prayers on such a morning? |
| 27001 | I asked him:"Where to?" |
| 27001 | I blow well-- don''t I?" |
| 27001 | I forgave her for the"ragged fool,"but why did she also beat me? |
| 27001 | I had my revenge of them, and I said to them:"Why do n''t you take the fir- boughs now, foolish goats?" |
| 27001 | I love you, and you love me.... Oh yes, you l- love me?" |
| 27001 | I mean, if one of us is ill does he go to''_ Cheder_,''or does he stay at home?" |
| 27001 | I put in quickly:"Perhaps I am mistaken? |
| 27001 | I should like to know what you would have done in my place-- if you had been told ten times not to dare to bite the top off the citron? |
| 27001 | I suppose you know what the four letters stand for? |
| 27001 | I took the knife carefully from my pocket, but had no time to look at it, when my father called out:"Where are you at all? |
| 27001 | I was almost, almost crying out:"The pocket- knife? |
| 27001 | I was always puzzling out the one question-- What was Isshur like before he was Isshur? |
| 27001 | I was so amazed at myself that I could only repeat:"Why? |
| 27001 | I? |
| 27001 | If I were to tell you to cut off your nose, must you do it? |
| 27001 | If people had no noses, what would they look like? |
| 27001 | In a shaking voice I replied:"Where? |
| 27001 | In the attic? |
| 27001 | In the earth? |
| 27001 | In the garden? |
| 27001 | Is a citron an ax? |
| 27001 | Is it a trifle to be God''s chosen people? |
| 27001 | Is it necessary to ask such a question? |
| 27001 | Is it sharp? |
| 27001 | Is it so? |
| 27001 | Is it then so? |
| 27001 | Is it then true?" |
| 27001 | Is it then true?... |
| 27001 | Is it true that she is going to be married, and not to me, but to some one else? |
| 27001 | Is n''t it enough that you lost all my nuts on me? |
| 27001 | Is n''t there enough steel knocking about in our attic? |
| 27001 | Is the whole world full of boxes? |
| 27001 | Is this Mazeppa? |
| 27001 | Is this Mazeppa? |
| 27001 | Is this he whose glances we fear? |
| 27001 | Is this he whose glances we fear? |
| 27001 | Is this our teacher? |
| 27001 | Is this our teacher? |
| 27001 | It haunted him, and asked him:"Why have you done this thing to me? |
| 27001 | Like sister and brother? |
| 27001 | Listen, Getzel, what game are we playing?" |
| 27001 | Listen, Jewish children, can you not tell me when the day is? |
| 27001 | Lost all the nuts? |
| 27001 | Lost it for ever? |
| 27001 | May God grant that we be alive next year, and-- and.... Have n''t you anything to bite? |
| 27001 | May I suffer instead of your little bones?" |
| 27001 | Maybe I have nothing at all to say to you now?" |
| 27001 | Maybe it is not so? |
| 27001 | Maybe she knows whose knife it is, and where I got it? |
| 27001 | Maybe you have a few''_ groschens_''about you?" |
| 27001 | Maybe you have on you a cigar end, or a cigarette? |
| 27001 | Mazeppa playful? |
| 27001 | Mother will ask him:"Well?" |
| 27001 | Mother:"What do you say?" |
| 27001 | Mother:"What then are you saying?" |
| 27001 | Mother:"Why should they not go?" |
| 27001 | Mother:"Why should we not let them go?" |
| 27001 | Mottel replied:"Have you forgotten it will soon be''_ Purim_''?" |
| 27001 | Murderers"Is he still snoring?" |
| 27001 | My troubles? |
| 27001 | No feet? |
| 27001 | No? |
| 27001 | Odd or even? |
| 27001 | Odd or even? |
| 27001 | Odd or even?" |
| 27001 | Odd or even?" |
| 27001 | Of the loving guest for whom she had waited, and who had come flying home so unexpectedly, after a long, long absence from home?... |
| 27001 | Oh, do you not know who Busie is? |
| 27001 | On the roof? |
| 27001 | One might argue that he meant to say:"What do you think? |
| 27001 | Or a bore? |
| 27001 | Or are you as unfortunate as I am?" |
| 27001 | Or did my mother weep for Busie, because she was getting married on the Sabbath after the Feast of Weeks? |
| 27001 | Or for her mother who married again and went off without a good- bye? |
| 27001 | Or is it a saw? |
| 27001 | Or is she thinking of her mother, who married again, and went off somewhere far, and who forgot that she had a daughter whose name was Busie?... |
| 27001 | Or my aches?" |
| 27001 | Or shall I look at Busie''s shining face-- into her large beautiful eyes that are to me deep as the heavens and dreamy as the night? |
| 27001 | Or that I am inventing lies out of my own head?" |
| 27001 | Or when a fox came and choked the fowls, whose advice was asked? |
| 27001 | Or will there ever come a time when we shall be rid of this hard, hopeless, dark tyranny? |
| 27001 | Or would you rather I told you how our new committee- men made up their accounts with the old beadle? |
| 27001 | Or, perhaps, on the contrary, I am mistaken? |
| 27001 | Passover wine?" |
| 27001 | Perhaps I have come in time? |
| 27001 | Perhaps because we were not living on the street? |
| 27001 | Perhaps it is not so? |
| 27001 | Perhaps some one would go up to the attic to hang out clothes to dry, or to paint the rafters? |
| 27001 | Perhaps you can tell me? |
| 27001 | Said he to me:"And as a wealthy man''s son, of what great value are you?" |
| 27001 | Said my father to him:"Man of clay, where did you get the name Esther from?" |
| 27001 | Said my mother to me:"Do you know what? |
| 27001 | Said she:"Greedy boy, what will you want next?" |
| 27001 | Saints? |
| 27001 | See? |
| 27001 | Sergeant''play?" |
| 27001 | Shall we take our own lives? |
| 27001 | She understood me, and answered me, with a half- smile by asking:"On such a night?" |
| 27001 | Sleep? |
| 27001 | Stolen? |
| 27001 | Such a man of the earth? |
| 27001 | Suddenly-- How do my father and mother come here? |
| 27001 | Surely he had held it very lightly, only just with the tips of his fingers? |
| 27001 | Take revenge of our enemy-- bathe in his blood, so to speak? |
| 27001 | Tell me, please, why is it that when one looks at Busie one is reminded of the"Song of Songs"? |
| 27001 | Tell me, when do I say the mourner''s prayer?" |
| 27001 | That means he stole?" |
| 27001 | The house is turned upside down for the knife, and he asks''Where? |
| 27001 | The old oak which has been standing since the creation of the world, and whose roots reach to God- knows- where-- what does he care for winds? |
| 27001 | The old oak, which has been standing since the creation of the world, and whose roots reach to God- knows- where-- what does he care for winds? |
| 27001 | The old rabbi? |
| 27001 | The question is why, in that case, does Nachman live in the village? |
| 27001 | Then I am, in short, a thief, a common thief? |
| 27001 | Then I should like to know where it says that Mordecai was a young man? |
| 27001 | Then comes the question: Very well, if that is so, then why do the people slaughter cows and calves and sheep and fowls every day of the week? |
| 27001 | Then he is a thief?" |
| 27001 | Then he sighed, and asked us suddenly:"Are you quite sure they were murderers?" |
| 27001 | Then the question is--? |
| 27001 | Then what do I want him for now? |
| 27001 | Then what had he done this for? |
| 27001 | Then why is Busie ashamed before me? |
| 27001 | They gaze out in wonder, and seem to be always asking of the world the one question: Wherefore? |
| 27001 | Throw it away, and no more, so long as I am rid of it? |
| 27001 | Throw it carelessly somewhere? |
| 27001 | To be God''s only child? |
| 27001 | To the black forest? |
| 27001 | War- time?" |
| 27001 | Was I mad? |
| 27001 | Was it a trifle to help build the Tabernacle? |
| 27001 | Was it because I would not go the same road as my father, but took my own road, and went off to study, and did not come home for such a long time?... |
| 27001 | Was it for me, her only son who had acted in opposition to his father''s wishes? |
| 27001 | Was it from weeping, perhaps?... |
| 27001 | Was it, in his opinion, a wise thing to do, or a foolish? |
| 27001 | Was she crying? |
| 27001 | Was the blessing over wine or beer? |
| 27001 | Well, Getzel, why are you sitting there like a bridegroom? |
| 27001 | Well, after all, what is there in these words? |
| 27001 | Well, and what next, eh?" |
| 27001 | Well, do you understand?" |
| 27001 | Well, how can you explain an ornament to your mother-- a really fine book with red covers, and blue edges, and a green back? |
| 27001 | Well, say again-- odd or even? |
| 27001 | Well, what do you say, Getzel?" |
| 27001 | Well, what good has it done you? |
| 27001 | Well, what have you to say now? |
| 27001 | Well, what of that?" |
| 27001 | Well, what then?" |
| 27001 | Well, what''s to be done next? |
| 27001 | Well, who can guess?" |
| 27001 | Well, who is right?" |
| 27001 | Well, why was he crying? |
| 27001 | Well, would you not be afraid if you were taken by the ear, dragged to the door, and beaten over the neck and shoulders? |
| 27001 | Well? |
| 27001 | What about the other things a human being needs, food and clothes and boots, for example? |
| 27001 | What am I saying? |
| 27001 | What am I saying? |
| 27001 | What answer can I make her to these unspoken words? |
| 27001 | What are my parents doing here? |
| 27001 | What are storms to him? |
| 27001 | What are storms to him? |
| 27001 | What are we standing here for?" |
| 27001 | What are you doing with them?" |
| 27001 | What are you doing, you young scamp?" |
| 27001 | What are you doing? |
| 27001 | What beadle? |
| 27001 | What business have you with musicians? |
| 27001 | What can one see in such a tiny scrap of sky, beyond a few stars and the reflection of the moon? |
| 27001 | What can we do? |
| 27001 | What can you do with a pop- gun if the foe will not wait until you have taken aim at him? |
| 27001 | What concern is it of Nachman Veribivker of Veribivka? |
| 27001 | What could Fedoka say when his mouth was stuffed with"_ matzo_"that crackled between his teeth, and melted under his tongue like snow? |
| 27001 | What could have happened? |
| 27001 | What could we do? |
| 27001 | What did Nachman care about the wicked Gentile Kuratchka and the papers that he brought from the court? |
| 27001 | What did he care? |
| 27001 | What did he like in the name of Heifer? |
| 27001 | What did our Nachman Veribivker care about uprisings, the limitations of the Pale, of Circulars? |
| 27001 | What did they see out of it? |
| 27001 | What do you say to such a saint?" |
| 27001 | What do you say to that? |
| 27001 | What do you say to that? |
| 27001 | What do you say to the wise one of the''Four questions''?" |
| 27001 | What do you say, Getzel?" |
| 27001 | What do you say?" |
| 27001 | What do you think-- if I had asked four, or five, or six, would he not have given them? |
| 27001 | What do you want?" |
| 27001 | What drank? |
| 27001 | What for? |
| 27001 | What for? |
| 27001 | What good had it done him to taste it when it was bitter as gall? |
| 27001 | What good had it done me to open her wound by speaking of her mother? |
| 27001 | What had I against him? |
| 27001 | What had I done then? |
| 27001 | What had become of his lion''s roar? |
| 27001 | What had happened? |
| 27001 | What had happened? |
| 27001 | What had it done to them? |
| 27001 | What had my head done to you?" |
| 27001 | What had they against my nose? |
| 27001 | What have you against poor Berrel? |
| 27001 | What have you against the child? |
| 27001 | What have you done to the child?" |
| 27001 | What have you heard?" |
| 27001 | What have you in that bottle? |
| 27001 | What have you seen? |
| 27001 | What if I had such a knife? |
| 27001 | What is Busie thinking of now? |
| 27001 | What is it afraid of? |
| 27001 | What is it worth to be dressed in new clothes from head to foot, and to show off before one''s friends? |
| 27001 | What is the matter with you? |
| 27001 | What is the something? |
| 27001 | What is this? |
| 27001 | What is wrong with our teacher? |
| 27001 | What knife?" |
| 27001 | What knife?'' |
| 27001 | What more could I do to him?" |
| 27001 | What pocket- knife?" |
| 27001 | What should a boy know? |
| 27001 | What sort of a habit is it to call a young man, almost a bridegroom, a man of clay? |
| 27001 | What sort of a pleasure is it to sit and read in a stuffy room, when the golden sun is burning, and the air is hot as an iron frying- pan? |
| 27001 | What sort of a thing is that something?" |
| 27001 | What the devil does it mean? |
| 27001 | What the devil does this mean? |
| 27001 | What the devil...?" |
| 27001 | What then? |
| 27001 | What was I to do with it? |
| 27001 | What was I to do with the little knife? |
| 27001 | What was I to do? |
| 27001 | What was Naphtali the Musician''s boy doing here?" |
| 27001 | What was she looking at? |
| 27001 | What was to be done? |
| 27001 | What were all the boxes for? |
| 27001 | What were the"_ Chanukah_"lights-- a silver, eight- branched lamp with olive oil, or candles stuck in pieces of potato? |
| 27001 | What will become of you, you dunce? |
| 27001 | What will become of you? |
| 27001 | What will they do to me in hell for that? |
| 27001 | What''s the matter here? |
| 27001 | What, for instance, would he say, and what would happen to me? |
| 27001 | What? |
| 27001 | When we meet, the first words are:"How is the teacher?" |
| 27001 | Where did such a creature get such a terrible roar? |
| 27001 | Where do we go?" |
| 27001 | Where have I money?" |
| 27001 | Where have I nuts? |
| 27001 | Where is the account? |
| 27001 | Where is the food-- where is it?" |
| 27001 | Where then should he live? |
| 27001 | Where was I to hide it? |
| 27001 | Where was I to throw it in order that it might not be found by anybody? |
| 27001 | Where was I? |
| 27001 | Where was he-- that good angel? |
| 27001 | Where, for instance, shall we go, Getzel?" |
| 27001 | Where? |
| 27001 | Where? |
| 27001 | Where?" |
| 27001 | Wherever in the world do such children come from?" |
| 27001 | Which Mottel? |
| 27001 | Who could compare with me? |
| 27001 | Who could tell? |
| 27001 | Who could tell? |
| 27001 | Who do you think won? |
| 27001 | Who had sent for them? |
| 27001 | Who had time to realize where I found myself in the world of dreams in which I lived? |
| 27001 | Who has me by the ear?" |
| 27001 | Who is he, and what is he?... |
| 27001 | Who is pulling me by the ear?" |
| 27001 | Who is working? |
| 27001 | Who made Isshur what he was? |
| 27001 | Who taught us to gamble with buttons-- to play"odd or even,"and lose our breakfasts and dinners? |
| 27001 | Who taught us to smoke cigarettes in secret, letting the smoke out through our nostrils? |
| 27001 | Who the devil wants you? |
| 27001 | Who thinks of praying at such a time? |
| 27001 | Who told us to slide on the ice, in winter, with the peasant- boys? |
| 27001 | Who told you that?" |
| 27001 | Who wanted so many boxes? |
| 27001 | Who was the first to turn his back on the enemy? |
| 27001 | Who was there to give me orders? |
| 27001 | Who will tire first? |
| 27001 | Who would have thought it? |
| 27001 | Who''ll thrash you? |
| 27001 | Whom had it bothered? |
| 27001 | Why are shouting? |
| 27001 | Why are you not my brother?" |
| 27001 | Why are you silent-- eh?" |
| 27001 | Why are you silent? |
| 27001 | Why did you bite off my head? |
| 27001 | Why did you want to go and lose my money as well? |
| 27001 | Why do I say allowed? |
| 27001 | Why do I say in a day? |
| 27001 | Why do n''t you go and say your prayers? |
| 27001 | Why do you beat him? |
| 27001 | Why do you carry a feather about with you?" |
| 27001 | Why do you curse me?" |
| 27001 | Why do you get under our feet? |
| 27001 | Why do you run?" |
| 27001 | Why do you shriek? |
| 27001 | Why does a horse go? |
| 27001 | Why does she grow red? |
| 27001 | Why else does she show me her pearl- white teeth? |
| 27001 | Why had he spoiled this beautiful creation, bitten off its head, and taken its life? |
| 27001 | Why had he wanted to bite it off? |
| 27001 | Why had his mother pulled his flaxen hair and boxed his ears? |
| 27001 | Why have you grown silent?" |
| 27001 | Why is Busie ashamed before me? |
| 27001 | Why is it that when I come from"_ cheder_,"and do not find Busie I can not eat? |
| 27001 | Why is she looking at it so? |
| 27001 | Why not?" |
| 27001 | Why school- fees? |
| 27001 | Why should I forgive her for what she has done to Busie, the cheeky woman? |
| 27001 | Why should I not see? |
| 27001 | Why should her mother''s name go first?" |
| 27001 | Why should she not have a little pleasure too? |
| 27001 | Why should the other win? |
| 27001 | Why should the top fall on the letter G for him, and on the N for you? |
| 27001 | Why should we not enjoy ourselves? |
| 27001 | Why the devil ca n''t he take a book into his hand? |
| 27001 | Why the devil ca n''t he take a book into his hand? |
| 27001 | Why the devil ca n''t you take a book into your hands? |
| 27001 | Why this sudden burst of laughter, Benny?" |
| 27001 | Why was he called Log- of- wood? |
| 27001 | Why was he not choked at table? |
| 27001 | Why was he so angry? |
| 27001 | Why whippings? |
| 27001 | Why? |
| 27001 | Why? |
| 27001 | Why? |
| 27001 | Why? |
| 27001 | Why?" |
| 27001 | Will I fall asleep at the"_ Seder_"? |
| 27001 | Will I fall asleep? |
| 27001 | With whom does he send this"_ Purim_"present? |
| 27001 | Would I go asleep before the"_ Seder_"? |
| 27001 | Would it not have been better if the Passover had been longer and longer? |
| 27001 | Would you not also have thought of the plan-- to bite it off, and stick it on again with spittle? |
| 27001 | Would you not have wanted to know what it tasted like? |
| 27001 | You do n''t smoke? |
| 27001 | You hear? |
| 27001 | You may ask why not Goat? |
| 27001 | You want to know how I came by it? |
| 27001 | You want to know how long it is going to last? |
| 27001 | You want to know the end-- what happened to Esther, the teacher''s daughter, and to my brother Mottel? |
| 27001 | You want to know what will happen? |
| 27001 | You want to know whether I bit the top off the citron, or held myself back from doing it? |
| 27001 | You will tell your mother on him? |
| 27001 | asked my teacher, with a faint smile, as if he would say:"Could you find nothing more difficult?" |
| 37242 | ''And how is the building to be paid for?'' 37242 ''And why do you think it is so? |
| 37242 | ''And_ you_ have nothing?'' 37242 ''But what do you do all day in the house- of- study?'' |
| 37242 | ''For whom?'' 37242 ''Riches?'' |
| 37242 | ''What besides?'' 37242 ''What do you want?'' |
| 37242 | ''What is wrong with her?'' 37242 ''What sort?'' |
| 37242 | ''Where,''she asks,''is Beinishe?'' 37242 ''You want to know that, too? |
| 37242 | ''_ I?_ Preserve us!'' 37242 A Gentile?" |
| 37242 | A bad business, too? |
| 37242 | A cripple? 37242 A hospital, you mean?" |
| 37242 | A man with no inside-- what could you expect? |
| 37242 | A mole? |
| 37242 | A walk? |
| 37242 | A wife? |
| 37242 | A wife? |
| 37242 | About your intended? |
| 37242 | All alive? 37242 Always?" |
| 37242 | Am I asleep and is it a dream? |
| 37242 | An angel''s is it? |
| 37242 | And 42? |
| 37242 | And Yisrolik? |
| 37242 | And Yössele? |
| 37242 | And a little bag to hold them? |
| 37242 | And a little, tiny prayer- book with gilt edges? |
| 37242 | And all through his Psalms? |
| 37242 | And are there dissensions? |
| 37242 | And do you know who the suitor is? |
| 37242 | And he is a scholar? |
| 37242 | And he? |
| 37242 | And his''German''name? |
| 37242 | And how am I ever to repay you? |
| 37242 | And it smells? |
| 37242 | And it''s worth? |
| 37242 | And meanwhile it was entered in the communal records? |
| 37242 | And no one died in his day? |
| 37242 | And nothing is made by it? |
| 37242 | And nowadays? |
| 37242 | And people will know him? |
| 37242 | And she? |
| 37242 | And sold the things? |
| 37242 | And something hot? |
| 37242 | And supposing she had married again? |
| 37242 | And tell me, Yössele,she continues,"shall you be always just as-- just the same?" |
| 37242 | And that is all we have to depend on? |
| 37242 | And that is? |
| 37242 | And the Gevirîm, the almsgivers, the agitators, the providers, the whole lot-- what are they? 37242 And the corpses?" |
| 37242 | And the living said nothing? |
| 37242 | And the wife? |
| 37242 | And then the rich man said:''To my account''? |
| 37242 | And they all got well? |
| 37242 | And they have no worries, because whence do worries spring? 37242 And what did he answer?" |
| 37242 | And what is lacking to them? 37242 And what is the soul?" |
| 37242 | And what is to become of us? |
| 37242 | And what is your business now? |
| 37242 | And what obliges you to emigrate? |
| 37242 | And what should have claimed our interest? 37242 And what was it?" |
| 37242 | And what was the name of the little town you lived in before? |
| 37242 | And what,he asks sadly,"what about wood-- and candles-- Sabbaths and holidays?" |
| 37242 | And what? |
| 37242 | And when I am expecting a baby,said Rivkah once, and her face shone,"you will come and sit by me?" |
| 37242 | And when not? |
| 37242 | And where are my teeth to eat them with? |
| 37242 | And whither shall I go? |
| 37242 | And who are you? |
| 37242 | And who is to light the stove? |
| 37242 | And you believe it? |
| 37242 | And you,I ask,"have never dipped into a story- book?" |
| 37242 | And you? |
| 37242 | And your German name? 37242 And your sons?" |
| 37242 | And-- a larger manure heap? |
| 37242 | And-- and you will never scold me? |
| 37242 | And_ your_ Torah, Nòach? |
| 37242 | Apparently, you write fiction for other people and want truth for yourself? |
| 37242 | Are n''t you pleased? |
| 37242 | Are they all girls? |
| 37242 | Are you speaking of articles of trade? |
| 37242 | Are you, then, what is called a commission- agent? |
| 37242 | Are_ you_ afraid at night, too? |
| 37242 | Are_ you_? 37242 At least,"I inquire,"is your son learned?" |
| 37242 | At that rate,_ she_ was the informer? |
| 37242 | Before the decision of the Heavenly Court has been given? |
| 37242 | Behind the hills of darkness? |
| 37242 | Beside the exorcist? |
| 37242 | Bitter? |
| 37242 | But He does n''t throw things down from heaven? |
| 37242 | But a note-- what harm could a note do you? |
| 37242 | But where is the harm,asks someone else,"if the great people do n''t agree among themselves?" |
| 37242 | But-- do people die of a weak heart? |
| 37242 | But_ her_ name is Hannah? |
| 37242 | Ca n''t I see for myself? 37242 Call them? |
| 37242 | Called Chaïm? |
| 37242 | Can they mean me after all? |
| 37242 | Carry wood? 37242 Come, tell me, what does it all mean, taking notes?" |
| 37242 | David''l,say the father,"you know what day this has been?" |
| 37242 | Did they interest you? |
| 37242 | Did they send another? |
| 37242 | Did you hear? |
| 37242 | Do you believe in the days of the Messiah? |
| 37242 | Do you feel well? |
| 37242 | Do you know what he is doing now? |
| 37242 | Do you make a living by_ that_? |
| 37242 | Do you mean usury? |
| 37242 | Do you never go out for a walk? |
| 37242 | Do_ I_ look like getting up to do it? 37242 Fallen in?" |
| 37242 | Fine as gold-- and what''s to be done with her? |
| 37242 | For dessert? |
| 37242 | For how long? |
| 37242 | For me? |
| 37242 | From which Chief Rabbis? |
| 37242 | Go from house to house? |
| 37242 | Ha, ha, what is a bit of a frost like this to me? 37242 Have you a house?" |
| 37242 | Have you any money? |
| 37242 | He carried wood? |
| 37242 | He must?! |
| 37242 | He said so himself? |
| 37242 | He? 37242 He_ would_ have been,"he replies in a broken voice,"only he wo n''t learn... even a Rebbe ca n''t help that... he_ wo n''t_ learn-- what can one do?" |
| 37242 | Head downward? |
| 37242 | How did he live? |
| 37242 | How do you mean, who? |
| 37242 | How here? |
| 37242 | How is it, poor little thing? |
| 37242 | How is she? |
| 37242 | How is that? |
| 37242 | How many candles have you? |
| 37242 | How many children have you? |
| 37242 | How many children? |
| 37242 | How many healthy brains have we? |
| 37242 | How many sons and how many daughters married? |
| 37242 | How many sons, how many daughters? |
| 37242 | How many? 37242 How much does the house bring in?" |
| 37242 | How much have you got there in the paper? |
| 37242 | How old was she altogether? 37242 How should I know? |
| 37242 | How should I know? 37242 How should she have? |
| 37242 | How should_ she_ know him? |
| 37242 | How so? |
| 37242 | How then do you observe the precept:''And thou shalt rejoice in thy feasts,''as regards the body? |
| 37242 | How, content? |
| 37242 | How, was n''t it enough? |
| 37242 | How? |
| 37242 | I beg pardon? |
| 37242 | I do n''t know what to say, how should I? 37242 I have been false? |
| 37242 | I have betrayed something? 37242 I mean,"her voice shakes,"just as fond of me?" |
| 37242 | I study, I pray-- what else should a Jew do? 37242 I told you long ago,"she says,"not to interfere in the affairs of the community, but when did you ever listen to me? |
| 37242 | I? 37242 If you can smell a rat, and know all that is going on, why do you want to ask questions?" |
| 37242 | In our country, a town like that? |
| 37242 | In what respect? |
| 37242 | In what will you go? |
| 37242 | Is anything taken in or out? |
| 37242 | Is he a wonder- worker? |
| 37242 | Is he mad? |
| 37242 | Is it you, Leah? |
| 37242 | Is n''t that always the way with us? 37242 Is straw wanted in Egypt? |
| 37242 | It is a case of witchcraft, but--"But what? |
| 37242 | Just as dear? |
| 37242 | Just tell me,she says,"only please tell me the truth, am I a pretty woman?" |
| 37242 | Materialism? 37242 Melancholy? |
| 37242 | Mother, wo n''t you say, Good luck to you? |
| 37242 | Mother,I asked,"why does your heart beat so loud?" |
| 37242 | My child, why have you been crying? |
| 37242 | My dear fellow, what are you talking about? |
| 37242 | No work to be had? |
| 37242 | Not fit to live in? |
| 37242 | Not very much of one, one does n''t often hear about him-- the women talk of him, but who listens to them? |
| 37242 | Nowadays? 37242 O, you mean_ that_?... |
| 37242 | Of course,--I wish to show off my knowledge--"though a scholar decline the honor due to him....""A scholar? |
| 37242 | Of wings--"Of wings? |
| 37242 | On the other hand,he mused,"supposing I rested a little after all? |
| 37242 | On what? 37242 On what?" |
| 37242 | On what? |
| 37242 | Once and for all, what are you? |
| 37242 | One child is it you have? |
| 37242 | Only she-- she--,sighed my mother, and glanced toward my box,"she is growing taller and taller, do you see?" |
| 37242 | Perhaps you did not notice-- and her husband is yellow- skinned? |
| 37242 | Perhaps you prefer milk? |
| 37242 | Poor wretch,she says gently,"not accustomed to it yet-- ha?" |
| 37242 | Rabbi,he inquired further,"and my wife?" |
| 37242 | Really and truly? |
| 37242 | Shall I give you the ink and a pen? |
| 37242 | Shall you always eat with me? |
| 37242 | Shall you come back? |
| 37242 | Shall you miss me? |
| 37242 | She has a mole on the left side of her nose? |
| 37242 | She is no longer dull? |
| 37242 | Shemaiah, do you think God will punish me for my cursing and my bad temper? |
| 37242 | Shemaiah,he answered me,"what can I do? |
| 37242 | Silly child, why are you in such a hurry? |
| 37242 | Silly child,he whispers,"I come in late on purpose, so that we may eat together, do you see? |
| 37242 | So it''s you,he said,"is it? |
| 37242 | So that you may recognize her? |
| 37242 | So they hurried up? |
| 37242 | Sometimes? |
| 37242 | Steal? 37242 Still- born?" |
| 37242 | Tell me, I beg of you, what is the good of the stories you write? 37242 Tell me, Nòach,"said the Brisk Rabbi, with lifted eyebrows,"why did you run away from my academy? |
| 37242 | Tell me-- what is my name? |
| 37242 | The Làmed- Wòfnik, too? |
| 37242 | The Rebbe hurried up and down, stopped suddenly and asked:''What else?'' |
| 37242 | The fourth fast? |
| 37242 | The river? 37242 The soul?" |
| 37242 | Then he just takes money and does nothing wonderful? |
| 37242 | Then why was it,I inquired,"that she died no suddenly?" |
| 37242 | Then you do n''t know it? |
| 37242 | Then you will buy me a pair of phylacteries? |
| 37242 | Then you won in the lottery? |
| 37242 | Then, what? |
| 37242 | There-- but you are not to come begging from me again, do you hear? |
| 37242 | Thin? |
| 37242 | To me? |
| 37242 | To pray? 37242 To that drunkard?" |
| 37242 | Torah--_see_ it? |
| 37242 | Unhappy? 37242 Very likely you think I come from under the stove? |
| 37242 | Very little water? |
| 37242 | Was not the Rebbe once in Brisk? |
| 37242 | Well then-- Treine my life, Treine my crown, Treine my heart-- will that do? |
| 37242 | Well, do you know, David''l, if God, blessed be He, has forgiven us, I think we ought to be cheerful, do n''t you? |
| 37242 | Well, how are you getting on? |
| 37242 | Well, is it a secret? |
| 37242 | Well, just who? 37242 Well, tell me, David''l, what have we done all day?" |
| 37242 | Well, well? |
| 37242 | Well, what do they come to altogether? |
| 37242 | Well, what was to be done? 37242 Well, why do you sigh?" |
| 37242 | Well, you see...."How can I see? 37242 Well,"exclaimed Rivkah,"why so sad? |
| 37242 | Well,he continued,"had any one of them a different kind of eye from yours; different hands or feet or limbs? |
| 37242 | Well,inquired Savitzki, in Polish,"no cholera?" |
| 37242 | Well-- what? |
| 37242 | Well? 37242 Well?" |
| 37242 | Well? |
| 37242 | Well? |
| 37242 | Well? |
| 37242 | What about, mother? |
| 37242 | What are they doing? |
| 37242 | What are we to do? |
| 37242 | What are you crying for? |
| 37242 | What are you doing here? |
| 37242 | What business? |
| 37242 | What did you feel like? 37242 What do I do? |
| 37242 | What do you do all day? |
| 37242 | What do you do in the market? |
| 37242 | What do you live on? |
| 37242 | What do you live on? |
| 37242 | What do you mean by rich and poor? 37242 What do you mean by that, Treine?" |
| 37242 | What do you mean by''how''? |
| 37242 | What do you mean by''sometimes''? 37242 What do you mean? |
| 37242 | What do you mean? 37242 What do you mean? |
| 37242 | What do you mean? |
| 37242 | What do you mean? |
| 37242 | What do you mean? |
| 37242 | What do you mean? |
| 37242 | What do you think? 37242 What do_ you_ say, Rabbi?" |
| 37242 | What else have you in your town? |
| 37242 | What else? |
| 37242 | What for are you afraid? |
| 37242 | What happened? |
| 37242 | What has happened? |
| 37242 | What have you got there? |
| 37242 | What is he talking about? |
| 37242 | What is his''German''name? |
| 37242 | What is it, my treasure? |
| 37242 | What is it? |
| 37242 | What is it? |
| 37242 | What is it? |
| 37242 | What is that? |
| 37242 | What is the good of all this joking? |
| 37242 | What is the matter with me? 37242 What is the matter?" |
| 37242 | What is the name of your husband? |
| 37242 | What is there to be glad about? |
| 37242 | What is your German name? |
| 37242 | What is your business? |
| 37242 | What is your eccentricity? |
| 37242 | What is your name, friend? |
| 37242 | What more would you have? 37242 What next?" |
| 37242 | What should he? 37242 What should they be doing? |
| 37242 | What sort of a town_ is_ it, anyway? |
| 37242 | What sort of fast is it? |
| 37242 | What was to be done? 37242 What was your misfortune?" |
| 37242 | What were you_ before_ the misfortune? |
| 37242 | What will you do? |
| 37242 | What''s all that to me? |
| 37242 | What? 37242 What?" |
| 37242 | What_ does_ become of such a soul? |
| 37242 | When the desire calls the imagination to its help-- who shall withstand? 37242 Whence is he, this Nòach?" |
| 37242 | Where are they? |
| 37242 | Where are you going to? |
| 37242 | Where does the rabbi live? |
| 37242 | Where had he found that? |
| 37242 | Where is it? |
| 37242 | Where to? |
| 37242 | Where? |
| 37242 | Which Vassil? 37242 Who are his assistants? |
| 37242 | Who can tell? 37242 Who die of a physical epidemic? |
| 37242 | Who do you think is our rabbi? 37242 Who is I?" |
| 37242 | Who is there? |
| 37242 | Who led him about by the nose? |
| 37242 | Who lives here? |
| 37242 | Who told you? |
| 37242 | Who was scolding? 37242 Who would trust a mother in matters of dress? |
| 37242 | Why a Gentile? |
| 37242 | Why are you ashamed, wretch? 37242 Why did they build such a house?" |
| 37242 | Why have you grown so pale? |
| 37242 | Why into a wood? |
| 37242 | Why not have sent for your family to join you? |
| 37242 | Why not take a pillow? |
| 37242 | Why not teach them a trade? |
| 37242 | Why not? |
| 37242 | Why not? |
| 37242 | Why not? |
| 37242 | Why should n''t I be? |
| 37242 | Why should n''t they be? |
| 37242 | Why so much to be pitied? |
| 37242 | Why so, Nòach? |
| 37242 | Why so? 37242 Why so?" |
| 37242 | Why the devil am not I''pious''? |
| 37242 | Why will you not take anything from me? |
| 37242 | Why''poor thing?'' 37242 Why, what do you want, Hannah?" |
| 37242 | Why,he asks,"did God make all creatures to eat different things?" |
| 37242 | Why? 37242 Why?" |
| 37242 | Will you go and fetch the Röfeh? |
| 37242 | With lemon? |
| 37242 | Wo n''t you enter_ me_? |
| 37242 | Worse? 37242 Worth how much?" |
| 37242 | Would you give it for five hundred? |
| 37242 | Would you sell it for one hundred rubles? |
| 37242 | Yashek,I risked my life and asked,"_ ti tàkshé màyesh dùshé_? |
| 37242 | Yes,she answers happily,"only--""What now, my life, my delight?" |
| 37242 | Yes-- you know her? |
| 37242 | You are against assimilation, then? |
| 37242 | You are going into the army? |
| 37242 | You ask about a Gentile? 37242 You ask such a question? |
| 37242 | You do n''t believe me? |
| 37242 | You hear? |
| 37242 | You play''Preference''? |
| 37242 | You remember, David''l, last year, when mother was alive, how we sang after supper, to a new tune? 37242 You think you are a little angel, do you, because you put up with me and the children? |
| 37242 | You want to know that, too? 37242 You were not so sick all this time, but you could have laid the fire, put on a kettleful of water, were you?" |
| 37242 | You wish to see it, Rabbi? |
| 37242 | You''ve heard of the Tsaddik of Vorke of blessed memory? |
| 37242 | Your name? |
| 37242 | Your surname? |
| 37242 | Yössele? |
| 37242 | [ 112]But only of the dumplings?" |
| 37242 | [ 31]What does it matter to you, soul of a dog?" |
| 37242 | [ 7]Your neighbor was tall and pale?" |
| 37242 | [ 86]Why do you want to know?" |
| 37242 | _ Ett!_"What does_ ett_ mean? |
| 37242 | _ He?_ He earn anything? 37242 _ He?_ He earn anything? |
| 37242 | _ Me?_ Heaven forbid! 37242 _ Mòi Pànyiye!_[70] what are you doing here?" |
| 37242 | _ Never._"Never make me unhappy? |
| 37242 | _ Nu_, what shall I do? |
| 37242 | _ Nu_, where am I to seat you? |
| 37242 | _ Phê_,he interrupted himself,"what shall I think of next? |
| 37242 | _ Taki?_asks Bontzye again, this time in a firmer voice. |
| 37242 | _ Taki?_he asks shyly. |
| 37242 | _ That_ is the Chanukah light? 37242 _ What_ did you say?" |
| 37242 | ''Oppressed''--what does that convey to me? |
| 37242 | *****"And you, friend? |
| 37242 | 12 What was to be done, if the teacher even made game of dreams? |
| 37242 | 226 WHAT SHOULD A JEWESS NEED? |
| 37242 | A Chanukah lamp( for whom should it be lighted?) |
| 37242 | A Jew must earn a living, if he has to suck it out of the wall-- that is not what I mean-- what will a Jew not do for a living? |
| 37242 | A Voice issued from the Throne:"''My children are being drowned in the sea, and you rejoice and sing?'' |
| 37242 | A Vorke Chossid? |
| 37242 | A boy who wo n''t learn, sits over a book, and is all the time wool- gathering? |
| 37242 | A conversation ensues between me and the Brisk Rabbi:"Was he not once in Brisk, this Nòach?" |
| 37242 | A man without the language of the country, without a trade, not knowing at which door to knock? |
| 37242 | A nice thing, was n''t it? |
| 37242 | After all the misery and the hard labor-- after the long exile of the Divine Presence? |
| 37242 | After what? |
| 37242 | Again he rubs the pane, and again I question:"Tell me, friend, what is your wife like?" |
| 37242 | All?" |
| 37242 | An old- fashioned Jewess? |
| 37242 | And He whose Name is blessed, what has_ He_ done?" |
| 37242 | And I believe in the immortality of the soul, only--""Only, friend, only?" |
| 37242 | And I? |
| 37242 | And as to your having had no news of him for so long, is it a wonder? |
| 37242 | And do you know why? |
| 37242 | And do you know_ why_ it has all turned out for the best? |
| 37242 | And for whose benefit am I to speak? |
| 37242 | And he looked-- what am I to say? |
| 37242 | And he met me in the door with a smile:"Have you seen,"he said to me,"the majesty of the Law? |
| 37242 | And he turns to me:"And what do you suppose he is now? |
| 37242 | And how was anyone just to get up and go away from his academy? |
| 37242 | And if my father- in- law was as great an idler as your husband is a ninny, and no document made special provision for you, am I to blame? |
| 37242 | And if they cry, do they shed another sort of tears? |
| 37242 | And if your child is really ill, is there no Ark to tear open-- are there no graves to measure-- no pious offerings to make? |
| 37242 | And just because he is_ not_ mine, is he any the less deserving? |
| 37242 | And mind she tries them on you herself, to see how they fit-- is it not America? |
| 37242 | And really, when you come to think of it, how much difference is there between a dead- alive person and a walking corpse in winding- sheets? |
| 37242 | And the inspector?" |
| 37242 | And the rabbi? |
| 37242 | And then he grows sad, wondering: After all, because of what? |
| 37242 | And then, in anger, she lays the whole blame of the disaster on us:*****"What could I know of your bitter feud with_ them_? |
| 37242 | And what ailed them at me? |
| 37242 | And what do you think that is? |
| 37242 | And what does he want with the girl? |
| 37242 | And what is it you want of her? |
| 37242 | And what is the outcome? |
| 37242 | And what is to come of it? |
| 37242 | And what will Paradise, when it comes to that, mean for_ me_? |
| 37242 | And what? |
| 37242 | And when there''s no soap to be had? |
| 37242 | And where, indeed, should I have found it? |
| 37242 | And who is to look after the house, and the housekeeping, and the sick children,_ wos_? |
| 37242 | And who knows what the issue of the struggle would have been but for the pestilence? |
| 37242 | And who shall study if not a clever head like him? |
| 37242 | And who told me all this? |
| 37242 | And why not, indeed? |
| 37242 | And why should it be so? |
| 37242 | And why? |
| 37242 | And you think he knew even how to read Hebrew properly? |
| 37242 | Anything better? |
| 37242 | Are there so few Jewish women leading similar lives? |
| 37242 | Are they likely to listen to me? |
| 37242 | Are they not an old couple without children? |
| 37242 | Because he had not mastered the seducer? |
| 37242 | Because if a feather was put under the nose of a_ live_ man, would he stir to brush it away? |
| 37242 | Because what shall become of the Torah? |
| 37242 | Because, what should I have done without them? |
| 37242 | Beside this, the land- owner has opened cheap eating shops and tea houses for the peasants-- what more need I say? |
| 37242 | Besides, how long do you suppose it will last? |
| 37242 | Besides, how much longer can the misery of Israel last? |
| 37242 | Besides, what''s the good of a letter of that kind? |
| 37242 | But I soon composed myself and thought, for instance: If my scatterbrain of a husband ran away to America-- well? |
| 37242 | But if the lot should fall on"Lapei?" |
| 37242 | But the poor, helpless little boy, I think of him with terror, what will become of_ him_? |
| 37242 | But what about the statistics? |
| 37242 | But what can_ I_ do? |
| 37242 | But what is to be done? |
| 37242 | But what was the good, seeing God in heaven is witness that I can do nothing to help you? |
| 37242 | But who could stand all that fuss? |
| 37242 | But who troubles about an orphan? |
| 37242 | But whom was I to speak with? |
| 37242 | But, again, what was to be done? |
| 37242 | But-- isn''t it a madness? |
| 37242 | Ca n''t I speak against my own husband?" |
| 37242 | Ca n''t he give his horses a few more oats for once?" |
| 37242 | Can I tell how I live? |
| 37242 | Can he"learn"better than I do? |
| 37242 | Can it all be true? |
| 37242 | Can they answer the question, how many empty stomachs, useless teeth? |
| 37242 | Can they show how many were the days of hunger? |
| 37242 | Carry it about? |
| 37242 | Child, what are you thinking of?" |
| 37242 | Defective?" |
| 37242 | Did I give him the scissors? |
| 37242 | Did he wish me to go near to him? |
| 37242 | Did he_ say_ anything? |
| 37242 | Did you ever hear of a doctor without salves and without blood- letting? |
| 37242 | Do n''t his eyes shine like stars? |
| 37242 | Do n''t they laugh just as you do? |
| 37242 | Do n''t they throw stones at him as at a prophet? |
| 37242 | Do n''t you like soldier''s bread? |
| 37242 | Do their dwellers hope to find the short cut to the Temple Mount, like the immortal goat, or do they speculate on the fire- insurance? |
| 37242 | Do they count the sleepless nights before and after? |
| 37242 | Do they keep a register? |
| 37242 | Do they measure how their hearts bled_ after_ they committed it? |
| 37242 | Do they pay you for it? |
| 37242 | Do you hear, Hannah? |
| 37242 | Do you hear?" |
| 37242 | Do you know the saying,''Idleness leads the mind to wander?'' |
| 37242 | Do you know what? |
| 37242 | Do you know what?" |
| 37242 | Do you know, it is ten years to- day since we were married? |
| 37242 | Do you remember the tune? |
| 37242 | Do you suppose the death- angel has no voice in the matter? |
| 37242 | Do you suppose the rabbi is going to let him be circumcised? |
| 37242 | Do you suppose_ they_ understand Hebrew?" |
| 37242 | Do you think he''d budge an inch? |
| 37242 | Do you want_ my_ stories, when you can invent your own?" |
| 37242 | Does anyone raise a protesting fist? |
| 37242 | Does he feel the wind less, shiver the less with cold, because_ his_ parents are lying somewhere in a grave under a tombstone? |
| 37242 | Does he not bear the sorrows of all, and suffer for a whole generation? |
| 37242 | Does he want for anything? |
| 37242 | Does n''t his voice sound like the sweetest harp? |
| 37242 | Does not everyone die before his time? |
| 37242 | Drink- shops, lodging homes for travellers, old clothes-- according to custom--""A poor town?" |
| 37242 | Dull? |
| 37242 | Early one summer morning I was awakened by the following conversation between my parents:"Did you knock yourself up in the woods?" |
| 37242 | Even if it is n''t a deed, let him give a written promise, because how long is such a one likely to live? |
| 37242 | Even the Shochet sometimes goes away for a whole week, so when should they find time to quarrel? |
| 37242 | Everything he has on is whole, and he wears a chain-- perhaps it is pinchbeck? |
| 37242 | For breakfast, what shall he say? |
| 37242 | For instance:''Why do n''t you go and eat?'' |
| 37242 | For what is to be done, if the Almighty wills it so? |
| 37242 | For what? |
| 37242 | For what? |
| 37242 | From Warsaw, eh?" |
| 37242 | Full tilt they recited the prayers and full tilt they took off robes and prayer- scarfs and began to put on their boots-- who has time to spare? |
| 37242 | Gehenna? |
| 37242 | Give it ten thousand loving kisses from me-- do you hear? |
| 37242 | God is good and will help us-- was it not He who brought us together? |
| 37242 | Had I been"pious,"I should have reasoned thus:"Is the merit I shall acquire really worth five kopeks? |
| 37242 | Had I not been house- mistress? |
| 37242 | Had n''t they a Röfeh? |
| 37242 | Had not Eva Gütel herself told me fifty times that I was mistress, and could do as I liked? |
| 37242 | Has he observed anything? |
| 37242 | Has he seen a star fall? |
| 37242 | Have you no prayer- book, no Supplications? |
| 37242 | He asks mercy, and the answer is always the same:"Unless it be the Queen of Sheba, who will look at you, scab?" |
| 37242 | He came in with the question of the wicked child in the Haggadah:"What business is this of yours?" |
| 37242 | He can not withstand the seducer, then how shall he dare to think of going against God? |
| 37242 | He does well, runs a thriving trade, has, altogether, three children-- what more can he want? |
| 37242 | He has no wife, and before I could put in a word, he excused himself for it by asking,"How long do you suppose she has been dead?" |
| 37242 | He is sure of his game, then why irritate the people by prying? |
| 37242 | He points to a torn, red kerchief round his neck, and says:"Real pearls,_ ha_? |
| 37242 | He pulled himself together, sat up, and asked quietly:"Shprintze, do you want a divorce?" |
| 37242 | He says nothing more for a while, and then asks:"And if it_ is_ a Midrash, what has he added to it to deserve praise?" |
| 37242 | He will have no armies with him, he will ride on no horse, and there will be no sword at his side--""Then, what?" |
| 37242 | Her wrinkled skin appeared to smile at me: What should a Jewess need? |
| 37242 | How can I help it?" |
| 37242 | How could he? |
| 37242 | How else should there be a hook up there? |
| 37242 | How many water- carriers are there already loafing about with nothing to do since they started the new water- supply? |
| 37242 | How old were you when you married?" |
| 37242 | How shall I describe them? |
| 37242 | How should it be otherwise?" |
| 37242 | How the Brisk Rabbi expounded the Torah? |
| 37242 | How was it?" |
| 37242 | How? |
| 37242 | I am only dreadfully afraid-- lest it should do me harm--""_ You?_""Whom else? |
| 37242 | I am only dreadfully afraid-- lest it should do me harm--""_ You?_""Whom else? |
| 37242 | I am only waiting for a boat ticket-- you see, I have sold everything, even my tools....""You are a mechanic?" |
| 37242 | I answer, and end by inquiring:"And you, friend, whence are you?" |
| 37242 | I can really and truly not afford it, but my heart is sore: why can I not afford it? |
| 37242 | I do n''t know what came over me, but that same instant I took her hand and said, trembling:"Gütele, will you be my soul?" |
| 37242 | I do n''t know-- has no one told you that his last wife died because of the life he led her?" |
| 37242 | I do not know if it is the moon''s fault, or whether I am not quite myself, but I hear, believe, and even ask:"Did all the corpses rise? |
| 37242 | I gave a genuinely Jewish reply--_Bê!_"And that is your whole Parnosseh, without anything additional?" |
| 37242 | I have given him something three times-- does that go for nothing? |
| 37242 | I interrupt him and ask:"And what became of the woman?" |
| 37242 | I knew, before-- and then the singing turned into-- into--""Into what? |
| 37242 | I make a note and ask further:"Have you served in the army?" |
| 37242 | I only mean, did she repeat any gossip? |
| 37242 | I remember very well that it hurt, but why? |
| 37242 | I think I must have made a mistake and say:"Perhaps on the right side?" |
| 37242 | I turn to the other:"Well, my friend?" |
| 37242 | I? |
| 37242 | IX WHAT IS THE SOUL? |
| 37242 | If God wills it so, what can he do, he, the worm, the orphan? |
| 37242 | If I thought my own flesh and blood were in the grip of this wind? |
| 37242 | If he wishes to do what is good, he does it, if to do evil, he does evil, and as he makes his bed,_ ha?_ so he lies. |
| 37242 | If it were_ my_ child? |
| 37242 | If so, what do we owe you? |
| 37242 | If the child is ill, whose fault? |
| 37242 | If you have n''t Parnosseh, whose fault? |
| 37242 | If_ my_ child were roaming the streets to- night? |
| 37242 | In a hundred and twenty years to come, Yössil might take over the grave- digging-- why not? |
| 37242 | In the bed lies a sick Jewess huddled up in rags, who says bitterly:"Wood to sell-- and where am I, a poor widow, to get the money from to buy it?" |
| 37242 | In what am I more worthless than they are? |
| 37242 | Is he going to be ill? |
| 37242 | Is he likely to allow a blessing to be spoken over a child with wings?" |
| 37242 | Is he not persecuted like a prophet? |
| 37242 | Is heaven not better than earth?" |
| 37242 | Is it likely a Rebbe should have no affairs on hand with the Solemn Days so near? |
| 37242 | Is she not a Jewish daughter? |
| 37242 | Is that true?" |
| 37242 | Is there not a God in the world? |
| 37242 | Is your wife content_ now_?" |
| 37242 | It is true, people kill you, but what then? |
| 37242 | It just happened to have been washing day, but otherwise? |
| 37242 | It pained me, because how much rougher would he not have been with the other, who was lying ill? |
| 37242 | It was getting nearer and nearer-- was it not in all the papers? |
| 37242 | It''s all very well as far as_ you_ are concerned, but what about your wife and child? |
| 37242 | It''s better off with her-- what should_ I_ do with it? |
| 37242 | It''s easy enough to call them, but who will come? |
| 37242 | Just because they are good and pious? |
| 37242 | Lies? |
| 37242 | Look here, tell me why?" |
| 37242 | Lord of the world, is it for want of"credit"up there, too? |
| 37242 | Lord of the world, what does he want of my soul?" |
| 37242 | Lord of the world, what has come to you? |
| 37242 | Lord of the world, what is to be done? |
| 37242 | Lord of the world, where are_ my_ crumbs? |
| 37242 | Meanwhile we are in the same lodging, because how should I set about finding one for myself? |
| 37242 | Mother sighed again, and father said:"And what could we do? |
| 37242 | My neighbor sat up, threw a side- glance at me, looked me down from head to foot, and asked severely:"Then you know my wife? |
| 37242 | My precious Hannah, what am I to say to you? |
| 37242 | Need you ask?" |
| 37242 | No-- she will not say that-- where is father? |
| 37242 | No; just then someone came in-- but who? |
| 37242 | Nobody died? |
| 37242 | Nobody eats briars, do they? |
| 37242 | Now and then I went into a fury and nearly hit her, but how are you to hit a woman who sits crying with her hands folded and does n''t stir? |
| 37242 | Nòach( it struck him there was something behind the coincidence) went up to him and asked:"Whither drives a Jew?" |
| 37242 | O, it is so unpleasant outside, such horrible weather!--a mile''s trudge-- and then what? |
| 37242 | Of course, I obeyed, only on the way I asked in terror:"Brisk Rabbi, tell me, with what purpose are you going?" |
| 37242 | Of what use is he? |
| 37242 | On a feast- day? |
| 37242 | On both shoulders--""What sort of marks?" |
| 37242 | On the eve of the Day of Atonement everyone goes, but on a Wednesday like any other?... |
| 37242 | Once, perhaps, yes; but now? |
| 37242 | One minute, half a minute? |
| 37242 | Only the eldest opens his eyes once more and inquires of his father:"Tate, when shall I be Bar- Mitzwah? |
| 37242 | Only whom? |
| 37242 | Only, do you hear? |
| 37242 | Only, when was that?" |
| 37242 | Only-- what is the good of wishing? |
| 37242 | Or note what the heart suffers till it resigns itself to its living death? |
| 37242 | Our two great traders-- you remember them? |
| 37242 | Out of that she pays twenty- eight rubles a year house- tax and lives on the rest-- what should a Jewess need? |
| 37242 | Paradise? |
| 37242 | Passover? |
| 37242 | Perhaps I had better go in my dressing- gown?" |
| 37242 | Perhaps a Gentile? |
| 37242 | Perhaps a sip of wine? |
| 37242 | Perhaps he felt that_ my_ groan and_ his_ groan were_ one_ groan? |
| 37242 | Perhaps not? |
| 37242 | Perhaps you think an ordinary informer, in the usual sense of the word; he saw a false weight, an unequal balance, and went and told? |
| 37242 | Perhaps you wonder at my remembering all this? |
| 37242 | Perhaps you write for women?" |
| 37242 | Rabbi, what have you for the_ un_learned?" |
| 37242 | Reb Zerach opines that the matter is a deep one and worth consideration; but he himself does not eat Sheruyah? |
| 37242 | SECOND LETTER My precious and beloved wife: What am I to say to you? |
| 37242 | She can not recollect, and goes puzzling herself-- who? |
| 37242 | She drops on to her knees and clutches convulsively at grandmother''s hand:"Granny, granny, what is it? |
| 37242 | She is silent for a few seconds, and then she asks anxiously:"But will there always, always be wars and dissensions between the nations?" |
| 37242 | She looks less disagreeable, and I ask:"How much does your husband earn?" |
| 37242 | She takes two gulden for washing the floor of the house- of- study-- not enough for dry bread-- and he, what can he do? |
| 37242 | Should I not gain just as much by repeating the evening prayers? |
| 37242 | So what could I do? |
| 37242 | Soldiers''bread? |
| 37242 | Something had occurred to him: And suppose the contrary? |
| 37242 | Suddenly he stops, the Brisk Rabbi, and asks:"What kind of rabbi have you got here?" |
| 37242 | Suddenly my pupil is moved to inquire:"After all, teacher, what_ is_ Chanukah?" |
| 37242 | Suddenly she asked:"Has Rivkah been telling you anything?" |
| 37242 | Suppose it to be the work of Satan? |
| 37242 | Suppose the same Satan who sends me the other thoughts had sent me this one, too? |
| 37242 | Tell me, I beg of you, how do you find the time and attention required for inventing stories?" |
| 37242 | Tell me, please, what is the soul?" |
| 37242 | Tell me-- what is it? |
| 37242 | That because a person lives in Tishewitz, he is n''t civilized, and does n''t know what is doing in the world? |
| 37242 | That not for a single instant will He forget the little boy? |
| 37242 | That of the Tishewitz donkeys? |
| 37242 | The Brisk Rabbi is silent, and the other continues:"And tell me, Rabbi, what have you for All- Israel? |
| 37242 | The apothecary''s daughter-- that ugly thing? |
| 37242 | The community was no community? |
| 37242 | The driver considered a little, and then answered:"And ca n''t a young fellow like you go on foot?" |
| 37242 | The driver turned round and asked:"Where to?" |
| 37242 | The hands must work, the feet must run, the lips move-- and why? |
| 37242 | The joke was called:"Which has too much?" |
| 37242 | The old man casts an angry glance at his son, as if to say:"Do you see?" |
| 37242 | The old one reflects a moment and then asks:"What has happened? |
| 37242 | The papers had been lost by the way? |
| 37242 | The pike, face to face with the carp:"Bad luck, brothers?" |
| 37242 | The teacher looks at him with compassion:"What are you?" |
| 37242 | The teacher sat up:"How so? |
| 37242 | The very majesty of the Law?" |
| 37242 | The water frothed, the cart seemed to swim-- what am I to tell you? |
| 37242 | Then a fresh anxiety rises within him: If the destined one be Lapei, where are they to live? |
| 37242 | Then he asked in a lower and gentler voice:"And where is my daughter?" |
| 37242 | Then:"Are you hungry?" |
| 37242 | There he sits out in the woods like a lord, breathes fresh air, lies about on the grass, eats sour milk, perhaps even cream, how do I know? |
| 37242 | There it is again-- a Jewess-- then, why not? |
| 37242 | There was a marketful of Belzers about, but who is going to fight a woman? |
| 37242 | There will be firing and lights-- there will be enough to live on-- it will be all right-- everything will be right-- won''t it, Yössele? |
| 37242 | They accused pretty well everybody in turn--""And after that?" |
| 37242 | They are always asking:''What is your husband''s trade? |
| 37242 | They are pious and good and patient, but who shall count the tears that fall over their saddened faces till the store is exhausted? |
| 37242 | They began to wonder if he had gone to Palestine, or else to Argentina? |
| 37242 | They do n''t write, but what of that? |
| 37242 | They even offered me preserves.... Would I like syrup in water?... |
| 37242 | To go, or not to go? |
| 37242 | To please the driver? |
| 37242 | To return: What would you get by a divorce? |
| 37242 | To what? |
| 37242 | WHAT IS THE SOUL? |
| 37242 | WHAT SHOULD A JEWESS NEED? |
| 37242 | Was I likely to think that you would n''t be, after fasting through a whole Day of Atonement?" |
| 37242 | Was it his affair? |
| 37242 | Was there a less clean town anywhere? |
| 37242 | We had enough to live on, and as for going out, where were we to go? |
| 37242 | We were dreadfully sorry for the poor world, she was stuck in the mud-- and how to get her out? |
| 37242 | Well, I reflected, a woman gets frightened all by herself; but why cry? |
| 37242 | Well, did you know the Brisk Rabbi? |
| 37242 | Well, the Shochet''s wife had sausage, and she, the Dayan''te, not so much as a bone-- wasn''t that humiliating,_ ha_? |
| 37242 | Well, was it any good? |
| 37242 | Well, what am I to tell you? |
| 37242 | Well, what could you expect? |
| 37242 | Well, what do you say to that? |
| 37242 | Well, what do you think? |
| 37242 | Well, what do you think? |
| 37242 | Well, what merit is there to be secured in feeding a boy like that? |
| 37242 | Well, what will Genendil say? |
| 37242 | Well, would n''t one hold one''s sides laughing? |
| 37242 | Well?" |
| 37242 | Were there as few men as tramway horses, some one might perhaps have asked: What has happened to Bontzye? |

| 37242 | Yössil stood aside like a soldier saluting, but without putting his hand to his cap; Savitzki stopped a moment to ask:"Well, not yet?" |
| 37242 | [ 113]"Do you_ enjoy_ Passover cakes dry?" |
| 37242 | [ 31]"You also have a soul?" |

| 37242 | _ Aï_--how does one grow rich? |
| 37242 | _ How?_ Perhaps I shall tell another time. |
| 37242 | _ How_ was that? |
| 37242 | _ Is_ a Làmed- Wòfnik a scholar? |
| 37242 | _ She_ also? |
| 37242 | _ Wos is?_ Are you an official? |
| 37242 | _ Wos is?_ Are you an official? |
| 37242 | _ You?_ If you do n''t get any statistics, it will be of no great consequence, for''He that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep!'' |
| 37242 | _ You_ and a penance?" |
| 37242 | _"O wa!_ what is that to me? |
| 37242 | _"Taki? |
| 37242 | and he springs up from his seat at the table, and lowers his black- ringed, little head defiantly,"lessons to- day?" |
| 37242 | and now do n''t beg any more,"I wound up,"do you hear? |
| 37242 | and what do you want, Vassil?" |
| 37242 | and what their ages are, and all the rest of the bother?" |
| 37242 | as a reward for what? |
| 37242 | asked the teacher, wondering,"and without me?" |
| 37242 | buy stolen things? |
| 37242 | do n''t you know me? |
| 37242 | how many people who have really died of hunger? |
| 37242 | how many people whose eyes are drawn out of their sockets as with pincers at the sight of a piece of dry bread? |
| 37242 | how much does it bring in?" |
| 37242 | how so?" |
| 37242 | inquires the younger gentleman, suddenly,"or perhaps even poker?" |
| 37242 | or by giving a hoarse groan during their recital?" |
| 37242 | or perhaps your cousin the Tsaddik? |
| 37242 | or was it I? |
| 37242 | people asked,"or what has possessed him?" |
| 37242 | retorts Reb Elyeh, much hurt,"is that so? |
| 37242 | so, what do you think? |
| 37242 | what are you after, treating an orphan like that? |
| 37242 | what? |
| 37242 | who? |
| 33707 | A beautiful night, is n''t it? |
| 33707 | A dress--"And besides that? |
| 33707 | A dressing- gown for your Dvoshke,--"And then? |
| 33707 | A fine comforter_ you_ are,says she,"who asked you to console him with that sort of nonsense? |
| 33707 | A morning- gown with tassels,--"After that? |
| 33707 | A pair of trousers and a jacket--"Nothing more? |
| 33707 | A revolt-- a strike of almsgatherers, how do you like that? |
| 33707 | A whole siphon? |
| 33707 | Ai, who is that? 33707 Am I your father? |
| 33707 | And I, with my cart and horse? |
| 33707 | And everything else is as right as your astronomy? |
| 33707 | And how much less? |
| 33707 | And if so,say I,"what is to be done? |
| 33707 | And if you come to think, why should he fear death? |
| 33707 | And suppose I wo n''t believe you? |
| 33707 | And the house? 33707 And the others?" |
| 33707 | And what about the charge? |
| 33707 | And what do you expect me to do, Moishehle, eh?! 33707 And what do you suppose?" |
| 33707 | And what happened? |
| 33707 | And what is the good of feeling one''s self a little higher than a beast? 33707 And when have''your''astronomers decreed the study of geography?" |
| 33707 | And who says I have sold mine? |
| 33707 | And why should I be treated worse than any other pious Jew? 33707 And will it really be?" |
| 33707 | And wilt not thou, O Zion, ask of me Some tidings of the children from thee reft? 33707 And you are thinking of doing a little speculating?" |
| 33707 | And you were frightened and believed him? 33707 And your mother?" |
| 33707 | Another fast? 33707 Are n''t you a native of this place? |
| 33707 | Are n''t you sometimes in the room with them? |

| 33707 | Are you cold, sonny? |
| 33707 | Are you going to fetch a pint of beer? |
| 33707 | Are you going to sleep on the roof? |
| 33707 | Are you going to tell me that you will take me without a dowry? |
| 33707 | Are you not in need of any money? |
| 33707 | Avròhom, did you understand? 33707 Back already?" |
| 33707 | But do I disturb? |
| 33707 | But do you know what this is, ha? |
| 33707 | But how is one to know, when he wo n''t speak? |
| 33707 | But it is my child''s Torah, my Yitzchokel''s letter, why may n''t I hear it? 33707 But there is one thing I do n''t understand: why does it wheeze so? |
| 33707 | But what are we to do? |
| 33707 | But what are we to do? |
| 33707 | But what do they talk about, sillies? |
| 33707 | But what? |
| 33707 | But when_ shall_ you? |
| 33707 | But which of us will write it? |
| 33707 | But why me? |
| 33707 | But why, Yüdel dear, when they thought I was buying Palestinian earth to bestrew me after death, was I looked upon almost like a saint? |
| 33707 | But_ what_ are you waiting for? |
| 33707 | Ca n''t you guess? 33707 Cantor, what is wrong with you?" |
| 33707 | Chasch- tsche- va- te??? |
| 33707 | Chasch- tsche- va- te??? |
| 33707 | Chasch- tsche- va- te??? |
| 33707 | Consequently, the question is,thought Reb Nochumtzi,"why should they, the rich, want to keep this misfortune? |
| 33707 | Daughter, think how much blood and treasure it has cost to help us to a bit of pleasure, and now you want to spoil it for us? 33707 Derived, you say, derived? |
| 33707 | Did n''t I say so? |
| 33707 | Did you ever see such a lip? 33707 Did you hear that?" |
| 33707 | Do I know? |
| 33707 | Do n''t you hear the clatter of knives and forks? 33707 Do n''t you see, Bertzi? |
| 33707 | Do you know what? 33707 Do you know,"began Shifreh, the wholesale dealer,"mine tried to play me a trick with the dowry, too? |
| 33707 | Do you know,he threatens her,"what Skiloh means? |
| 33707 | Do you suppose I ask for them? 33707 Do you suppose you have got the Almighty by the beard? |
| 33707 | Do you think,he said to her,"that I have gone mad in my old age? |
| 33707 | Do you want another pupil? |
| 33707 | Do you want me to tell you standing on one leg? |
| 33707 | Do you want me,say I,"to take over your Gymnasiye and your classes, things I''m sick of already?" |
| 33707 | Do? |
| 33707 | Dobinyu,Ginzburg had asked his wife,"how shall we call our daughter?" |
| 33707 | Done for, eh? |
| 33707 | Done for? |
| 33707 | Eh, Rabbi, you''re not wanting a lift to Chaschtschevate? |
| 33707 | Eh, a little boy? |
| 33707 | Feivke, what is the matter? 33707 Feivke, where are you?" |
| 33707 | Fire? 33707 For God''s sake, my daughter? |
| 33707 | For Heaven''s sake,I write,"what is to be the end of it? |
| 33707 | For certain? |
| 33707 | For instance? |
| 33707 | For my earth? 33707 For where is the Jew who will not give me a night''s lodging?" |
| 33707 | Forever? |

| 33707 | Have you actually some money left? |
| 33707 | Have you begun to learn, little boy? |
| 33707 | Have you ever heard the like? 33707 Have your''astronomers''found out by calculation on which days we may learn geography?" |
| 33707 | Hear me out, Sholem, what harm can it do you? |
| 33707 | Help, what shall I do, what shall I do? |
| 33707 | How am I going to ask for a loan now? |
| 33707 | How are you, Reb Shloimeh? |
| 33707 | How can I know, sitting in the kitchen, what they are about? 33707 How can anyone break the Sabbath? |
| 33707 | How can we know what is going on there? |
| 33707 | How can you expect me to be cheerful, with father so ill? |
| 33707 | How can you not know, glomp? |
| 33707 | How could I tell? 33707 How do you mean, done for?" |
| 33707 | How do you mean,''what do you mean by it?'' 33707 How much earth have I? |
| 33707 | How much would the fare be? |
| 33707 | How much? |
| 33707 | How should I know? 33707 How should I know? |
| 33707 | How should we know? 33707 How too soon?" |
| 33707 | How would he turn out if he were left to you? 33707 How''what?'' |
| 33707 | How, it grates? |
| 33707 | I beg your pardon, do you know what time it is? |
| 33707 | I hear,she answered, and added:"Why do n''t they bring some over here? |
| 33707 | I tell you again, I''ll take you_ just as you are_--and you''ll take me the same, will you? |
| 33707 | I want a bit of earth in Palestine, I want to dig it, and sow it, and plant it...."Ha? 33707 I won''t"--Feivke clattered out with his teeth--"I c- a- n-''t--""Did they hit you so hard, Feivke?" |
| 33707 | If she has n''t any, who''s to inherit her place at the Matzes- baking-- a hundred years hence? |
| 33707 | If you ca n''t live without Palestinian earth, why did you not get some before? 33707 If you have n''t?" |
| 33707 | If_ he_ fears it, what about us? 33707 Is he from Jerusalem?" |
| 33707 | Is it all over with us? 33707 Is it far from here to a Klaus?" |
| 33707 | Is it my business? |
| 33707 | Is my head there to think out things like that? 33707 Is that how you hold your spoon?" |
| 33707 | Is that the only thing you have left to wish for? |
| 33707 | Is there a Bar- Mitzveh? 33707 It''s evidently not much_ you_ care?" |
| 33707 | Look here, good people, what''s the use of coming to me? |
| 33707 | Look here,began the woman,"do n''t you work in the same shop as my husband?" |
| 33707 | Look here,say I,"how much do you want, Pani Holiava?" |
| 33707 | Manasseh Gricklin''s? |

| 33707 | Now do you understand? |
| 33707 | O, you see that? |
| 33707 | Oh, but why did you? |
| 33707 | Oho, lies the wind that way? |
| 33707 | On a festival? |
| 33707 | Or an apple? |
| 33707 | Perhaps it''s not enough, after all? |
| 33707 | Perhaps what? |
| 33707 | Pray,said she,"what sort of a father are you? |
| 33707 | Really? |
| 33707 | Reb Yainkel, what are you talking about? 33707 Rochel, Rochel, what has possessed you to start a quarrel with me now? |
| 33707 | Sabbath? |
| 33707 | Shall I say no? 33707 Shall I?" |
| 33707 | Shall you know how? |
| 33707 | She asked you where I go other days after work? |
| 33707 | So that''s it, is it? 33707 So you have sent out to buy an egg?" |
| 33707 | Something to eat? 33707 Suppose you went across to Loibe- Bäres?" |
| 33707 | Tate, what sort of present have you brought me? |
| 33707 | Tatinke, why do n''t you eat? |
| 33707 | Tell me the truth: Do you notice any change in me? |
| 33707 | Tell me, Yüdel heart, how is it I have fallen into such bad repute among you that you will not even drink a drop of wine in my house? 33707 Tell me, are you an honest man?" |
| 33707 | That is to say? |
| 33707 | That_ what_ is lost? |
| 33707 | The same time, the same sickness? |
| 33707 | Then you think it''s all over with me? |
| 33707 | Then, what have you thought of by way of an exception? 33707 Then,"he asked angrily,"the whole of''your''learning is nothing but astronomy and geography?" |
| 33707 | There are Levites who sing in your synagogue? |
| 33707 | There now, see, what is the use of fretting to death? |
| 33707 | They have tea,was their answer to the question,"What does grandfather do with the teacher?" |
| 33707 | To buy some more carbolic acid, and drive out the bugs? |
| 33707 | To my years?! 33707 To some friends?" |
| 33707 | True, true,he replied,"but to- morrow, do you hear? |
| 33707 | Twenty cents for a glass of milk and a roll? 33707 Upset, you say? |
| 33707 | Well, I ask you, Yüdel, what does this mean? 33707 Well, I have sinned-- what do you want of me?" |
| 33707 | Well, Shlimm- mazel, where''s the milk? |
| 33707 | Well, and an altar? |
| 33707 | Well, and half a ruble? |
| 33707 | Well, and have you some oats ready? |
| 33707 | Well, and the Fast of Gedaliah? 33707 Well, and what are you about?" |
| 33707 | Well, and what has that to do with stamping the letters on the cover of the book? |
| 33707 | Well, and what? |
| 33707 | Well, and you bargained with them? 33707 Well, are you a little boy? |
| 33707 | Well, can they put the veil on the bride? |
| 33707 | Well, how are you, Reb Shloimeh? |
| 33707 | Well, husband? |
| 33707 | Well, what are you all about? |
| 33707 | Well, what are you doing? |
| 33707 | Well, what is it? |
| 33707 | Well, what would you have? 33707 Well, what''s to be done?" |
| 33707 | Well,I inquired,"and what happened?" |
| 33707 | Well,asked Dobe,"what?" |
| 33707 | Well,say I,"what do you propose doing?" |
| 33707 | Well? |
| 33707 | What about her money? |
| 33707 | What are two potfuls? 33707 What are you looking for there every minute?" |
| 33707 | What are you talking about? 33707 What are you thinking about, Feigele?" |
| 33707 | What are you, an angel? |
| 33707 | What are_ you_ thinking about, Eleazar? |
| 33707 | What can I do for you, Pumpian Rav? |
| 33707 | What can I do for you? |
| 33707 | What can be done? |
| 33707 | What day of the month is it? |
| 33707 | What did he say, Berele? |
| 33707 | What do I want to save for? |
| 33707 | What do I want with the money of a fine lady like you? 33707 What do they suppose? |
| 33707 | What do you mean by a woman''s saying she wo n''t? 33707 What do you mean by earth? |
| 33707 | What do you mean by poems? 33707 What do you mean by that? |
| 33707 | What do you mean by''read''? 33707 What do you mean by''they wo n''t come''?" |
| 33707 | What do you mean by''without a dowry''? 33707 What do you mean? |
| 33707 | What do you mean? |
| 33707 | What do you mean? |
| 33707 | What do you say to that? |
| 33707 | What do you think? |
| 33707 | What do you want to save for? |
| 33707 | What do you want to say to me? |
| 33707 | What do you want with that? 33707 What do you want, silly?" |
| 33707 | What does he speak, then? |
| 33707 | What does it say? |
| 33707 | What does that mean? |
| 33707 | What has that to do with it? 33707 What have I done to you?" |
| 33707 | What have you been and thought of? 33707 What have you there?" |
| 33707 | What is all this about? |
| 33707 | What is it, Tate? |
| 33707 | What is it, Tate? |
| 33707 | What is it, a ritual question? |
| 33707 | What is it, cantor? |
| 33707 | What is it, eh? |
| 33707 | What is that for? |
| 33707 | What is the matter with you, cantor? |
| 33707 | What is the matter with you? 33707 What is the matter?" |
| 33707 | What is the translation, the translation, Reb Yochanan? |
| 33707 | What is the use of a poor woman''s having children? |
| 33707 | What is this? |
| 33707 | What is to- day? |
| 33707 | What makes you think so? |
| 33707 | What makes you think that? |
| 33707 | What o''clock is it? |
| 33707 | What o''clock would it be now? |
| 33707 | What over? |
| 33707 | What price are oats fetching now? |
| 33707 | What shall you do? |
| 33707 | What should I be doing? 33707 What should I want with beer?" |
| 33707 | What should we want it for now, fool? |
| 33707 | What sort is he? |
| 33707 | What sort of a treat? 33707 What sort of thing?" |
| 33707 | What the same day? |
| 33707 | What then? 33707 What then?" |

| 33707 | What, a doctor? |
| 33707 | What, not Amen? 33707 What? |
| 33707 | What? 33707 What?" |
| 33707 | Whatever have you got there? |
| 33707 | Whatever? 33707 When shall you have Tabernacles?" |
| 33707 | When shall you teach the children all that? |
| 33707 | When will there be an end of my troubles and suffering? |
| 33707 | Where am I to put it, then? 33707 Where did I cry, you little silly? |
| 33707 | Where do you get them, Ezrielk? |
| 33707 | Where have you been, my fine fellow? 33707 Where is Gittel?" |
| 33707 | Where is one to get to? |
| 33707 | Where is there a rope? 33707 Where to?" |
| 33707 | Whether we have our Rabbis at home?! 33707 Which fire? |
| 33707 | Whither are we to drive? |
| 33707 | Whither? 33707 Who is that? |
| 33707 | Who is the beauty? |
| 33707 | Who is to prove,said he,"that my clock is a minute and a half fast? |
| 33707 | Who knows? |
| 33707 | Who knows? |
| 33707 | Who screamed? 33707 Who? |
| 33707 | Whose fault is it? |
| 33707 | Why I and not she? 33707 Why are you boasting like that? |
| 33707 | Why are you in such a hurry to know? |
| 33707 | Why are you running from Shmunin to Bunin,say I,"like a poisoned mouse?" |
| 33707 | Why are you sitting here, Mechuteneste? 33707 Why are you so sad, Feigele?" |
| 33707 | Why did I say that? |
| 33707 | Why did you leave the wagons? 33707 Why did you not come last night?" |
| 33707 | Why do they weep? |
| 33707 | Why do you laugh? |
| 33707 | Why do you never light a candle for my Yohrzeit? |
| 33707 | Why do you say''in that strange voice''? 33707 Why does my lord say such terrible things?" |
| 33707 | Why had he brought... a white shirt- like garment? |
| 33707 | Why have you come back alone? |
| 33707 | Why must it be for certain? 33707 Why must it be just in Palestine?" |
| 33707 | Why not? 33707 Why not?" |
| 33707 | Why not? |
| 33707 | Why not? |
| 33707 | Why should it come like this? |
| 33707 | Why wo n''t you come to the wedding, to the dinner? |
| 33707 | Why worry whether it''s a spring or not? |
| 33707 | Why, you little silly,answered the Rebbe,"what is a hole in a Beigel? |
| 33707 | Why? 33707 Why? |
| 33707 | Why? 33707 Will they give it us in kerblech? |
| 33707 | Will you come for a little walk? |
| 33707 | Will you have a glass of tea, Yitzchokel? |
| 33707 | Will you please tell me, are you marrying my mother or me? 33707 Will you say Kaddish after me?" |
| 33707 | Will you shut up, or do you want another beating? |
| 33707 | Would you like me to die? |
| 33707 | Would you like to know? |
| 33707 | Wretch, you dare to ask? |
| 33707 | Yes, what else? |
| 33707 | Yes, you see it, but do you understand it, really and truly understand it? |
| 33707 | You are going already? |
| 33707 | You are silent? |
| 33707 | You are still talking? |
| 33707 | You ask me? 33707 You ask what is the matter with me? |
| 33707 | You ask, what is the good to me? 33707 You asking why?" |
| 33707 | You deal in something? |
| 33707 | You do n''t know? |
| 33707 | You hear that? |
| 33707 | You little silly, are you feeling hurt? 33707 You see the''moons''?" |
| 33707 | You''ve drunk the glass of milk? |
| 33707 | Yours or mine? |
| 33707 | _ You_ want to be a raiser of souls? 33707 Ê, Reb Chayyim, you are greedy for fasts, are you?" |
| 33707 | ( That means,"Wo n''t you please say Kiddush?") |
| 33707 | ("Why not you?") |
| 33707 | ("Why should I?") |
| 33707 | ("Why should you refuse?") |
| 33707 | ), be wiser than the rest of the world put together? |
| 33707 | ), ever expected to find a Parnosseh with enough, really enough, to eat? |
| 33707 | ***** Having had his first sleep out, Breklin turns to his wife:"What do you suppose the time to be now, Yudith?" |
| 33707 | --"And you,"says she,"are the only sane person in it? |
| 33707 | --"Well,"say I,"what would happen?" |
| 33707 | --"What I propose doing?" |
| 33707 | --"What is going on in Balta?" |
| 33707 | --"What is the news?" |
| 33707 | --"What now?" |
| 33707 | --"What should it be? |
| 33707 | --"Where,"say I,"is it''written''that my boy should go to the Gymnasiye? |
| 33707 | --"Why a banquet, all of a sudden?" |
| 33707 | --"You do?" |
| 33707 | A Jeroboam son of Nebat, that''s what you want to be, is it? |
| 33707 | A charitable loan-- where is one to get a charitable loan? |
| 33707 | A glass of ice water for supper?" |
| 33707 | A grown- up girl-- what am I to do with her? |
| 33707 | A nothing of a nobody, an artisan, a bookbinder or a carpenter, quite a harmless little man, but who ever heard of him? |
| 33707 | A quilt? |
| 33707 | A race? |
| 33707 | A rascal is he? |
| 33707 | A weakly boy, what could_ she_ give him to eat? |
| 33707 | A wonder, too, for he''s been in good hands( tell me, were n''t you under both Moisheh- Yusis? |
| 33707 | A--""For instance?" |
| 33707 | After all, what did it mean, exactly? |
| 33707 | After death? |
| 33707 | Ah? |
| 33707 | Ai wos? |
| 33707 | Ai, how dare he, Lebele, disapprove? |
| 33707 | All their dreams and hopes finally dissipated, and there remained only one black care, one all- obscuring anxiety: how were they to earn a living? |
| 33707 | All up?! |
| 33707 | Am I a postman? |
| 33707 | Am I going to hold my tongue? |
| 33707 | Am I offering you mud? |
| 33707 | Am I perhaps_ not_ your father?" |
| 33707 | Am I such a fool?" |
| 33707 | And do you know why it was and how it was that everything Ezrielk took to turned out badly? |
| 33707 | And durable? |
| 33707 | And even the wicked who transgresses fulfils God''s will in spite of himself, because why? |
| 33707 | And he bethought himself to make a vow to-- to do what? |
| 33707 | And he has read this in the Prayer of Expiation? |
| 33707 | And he has the impudence to stand and pray before God? |
| 33707 | And how about your charge?" |
| 33707 | And how, you ask, did he come to be called the Sinner? |
| 33707 | And if so, what, says she, would life be to her? |
| 33707 | And my having this very minute been bumped on the shoulder by a Gentile going past me with a horse-- is that a dream? |
| 33707 | And no sooner had they all reached the ground in safety than Sarah shot out:"So, nothing would content him but a picnic? |
| 33707 | And no wonder: Was it a trifle? |
| 33707 | And not letting a husband study in peace, to be always worrying about livelihood, ha? |
| 33707 | And she asked herself: Her child, her Yitzchokel, who had sucked her milk, what had Necheh to do with him? |
| 33707 | And suppose he does get in, what then?" |
| 33707 | And the best of all was this-- would you believe that my shoemaker, planted in the earth firmly as Korah, insisted on Bible teaching? |
| 33707 | And the cart and the horse, wu senen?" |
| 33707 | And the hen? |
| 33707 | And the screaming and the row in my ears, is that a dream, too? |
| 33707 | And the teacher would say quite simply:"One_ can_ measure,"he would say,"why not? |
| 33707 | And what about taking my measure? |
| 33707 | And what came of it? |
| 33707 | And what concern is she of yours?" |
| 33707 | And what have I done to be proud of? |
| 33707 | And what is he, a wild, ignorant little boy, to answer this great, old God? |
| 33707 | And what of the match? |
| 33707 | And what shall I do, when his father gets to hear about it? |
| 33707 | And what sort of news was it_ then_? |
| 33707 | And what would the neighboring cantors say? |
| 33707 | And when Meyerl, with the indifferent voice of one hired for the occasion, sang out the"Why is this night different?" |
| 33707 | And who feeds the little birds, tell me? |
| 33707 | And who is the priest? |
| 33707 | And who knows? |
| 33707 | And who, do you suppose, had his way-- she or I? |
| 33707 | And why do you choose me? |
| 33707 | And why do you say that I am''one of them,''and not pious? |
| 33707 | And why drive anywhither? |
| 33707 | And why not? |
| 33707 | And_ he_ wants Ezrielk to give up learning and the bath? |
| 33707 | Anything to object to in that? |
| 33707 | Are these two verses his pitiless judges, are they the expression of his sentence? |
| 33707 | Are they not yours, too? |
| 33707 | Are we not man and wife? |
| 33707 | Are we to commit suicide? |
| 33707 | Are we to give him all the money he asks, or shall they both know as much happiness as we know what to do else? |
| 33707 | Are you Montefiore?" |
| 33707 | Are you all right? |
| 33707 | Are you casting spells? |
| 33707 | Are you deaf or half- witted? |
| 33707 | Are you going home? |
| 33707 | Are you going to take more than you really need? |
| 33707 | Are you likely to get another voice? |
| 33707 | Are you mad? |
| 33707 | Are you measuring me for trousers?" |
| 33707 | As he sat? |
| 33707 | As nonsensical-- Well, what do you want?" |
| 33707 | Because I tell you the truth to your face?" |
| 33707 | Berel is all astonishment and curiosity: how is it possible for Jews to busy themselves with commerce on Yom Kippur? |
| 33707 | Berel wondered: how is it possible for it to be at once a horse and a man? |
| 33707 | Bertzi, do you hear me? |
| 33707 | Bertzi, have you said your prayers? |
| 33707 | Besides, who was talking of you?" |
| 33707 | Besides,_ she_ might be angry, who can tell? |
| 33707 | Biting his lips, and all but crying with vexation, he would just articulate:"Reb Lezer, is there a letter from father?" |
| 33707 | Bless your grandmother,"say I,"do you suppose I have been through all this for you to unite in a resolve? |
| 33707 | Bring some hot water, bottles of hot water!--Champagne!--Where is the medicine? |
| 33707 | But Ezrielk was now something of a trader, and is there any strait in which a Jewish trader has not found himself? |
| 33707 | But Sholem was determined not to answer a word, and his father had to summon all his courage to continue:"What is all this? |
| 33707 | But directly-- Take my advice: why should you sit there waiting? |
| 33707 | But he ca n''t recite the prayers? |
| 33707 | But he''s a Gentile and slow- witted, and he does n''t twig, and this time he asks angrily,"Then, whatever is it you want?!" |
| 33707 | But how ever could it be? |
| 33707 | But how happy was Yitzchok- Yossel those lightsome days and merry nights? |
| 33707 | But how is one to set about it? |
| 33707 | But how much can anyone keep to oneself? |
| 33707 | But one day they heard Lezer the carrier speak distinctly, so that they understood quite well:"What are you doing here, you two? |
| 33707 | But presently the tumult increases, there is a cry,"Cheap fowls, who wants cheap fowls?" |
| 33707 | But tell me, I beg, what_ is_ the good to you of buying land in Palestine and getting into trouble all round?" |
| 33707 | But the stuff, the material?" |
| 33707 | But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: The latter end of the wicked shall be cut off...."Berel looked round in a fright: Where is he? |
| 33707 | But the voice of the Good Inclination was so feeble, so husky, and the Evil Inclination suggested in his other ear:"Do you know what? |
| 33707 | But to what purpose do you put them? |
| 33707 | But what can the gifts of mortal men, and of such poor ones into the bargain, do in a case like Ezrielk''s? |
| 33707 | But what is to be done? |
| 33707 | But what shall I buy? |
| 33707 | But what should old- fashioned women like her know about it? |
| 33707 | But what then? |
| 33707 | But what would you have? |
| 33707 | But who would reason with a woman? |
| 33707 | But why not think back a little? |
| 33707 | Ca n''t you behave yourself even before other people?" |
| 33707 | Can I not afford to have him taught Torah at home?" |
| 33707 | Can no one suggest any help?" |
| 33707 | Can you not devise a means, with that clever brain of yours, how to earn it for yourself? |
| 33707 | Coal was beyond them, and kerosene as dear as wine, and yet how could they possibly spend less? |
| 33707 | Come now, is it right? |
| 33707 | Could n''t you put on your shoes without my telling you? |
| 33707 | Did he hear him intone the Gemoreh, or perhaps sing? |
| 33707 | Did he see she was crying? |
| 33707 | Did n''t I tell you that your Gymnasiye was a slaughter- house for him? |
| 33707 | Did they come up to his level? |
| 33707 | Did you ever hear of such a thing? |
| 33707 | Did you ever?!" |
| 33707 | Did you expect him to beat you?" |
| 33707 | Did you make out the meaning of what I said? |
| 33707 | Did you never want to live till now?" |
| 33707 | Did you notice how broad and stout they were? |
| 33707 | Do I want_ him_ to come and tell me what goes on there? |
| 33707 | Do n''t you know it''s Friday?" |
| 33707 | Do n''t you know it''s Sabbath?" |
| 33707 | Do n''t you know that the glaze- gold which is used for the letters will not stick to the cover without some white of egg?" |
| 33707 | Do n''t you two leave the shop together? |
| 33707 | Do they also belong to the heroes? |
| 33707 | Do they want another?" |
| 33707 | Do you hear me, Sholem? |
| 33707 | Do you hear me, Tzippe?" |
| 33707 | Do you hear? |
| 33707 | Do you hear? |
| 33707 | Do you know Leibrutz? |
| 33707 | Do you know how many winters this quilt has lasted already? |
| 33707 | Do you know what it was that frightened you? |
| 33707 | Do you know what? |
| 33707 | Do you know when it began?" |
| 33707 | Do you mean it would be better to make Gentiles of them?" |
| 33707 | Do you suppose I engaged you for a merrymaking? |
| 33707 | Do you suppose he takes pleasure in transgressing? |
| 33707 | Do you suppose she listened to what I said? |
| 33707 | Do you think I cry my eyes out for them before God?" |
| 33707 | Do you think that a Jew can approach nearer to God, blessed is He, through_ you_? |
| 33707 | Do you understand? |
| 33707 | Do you want a sniff? |
| 33707 | Do you want me to come with the strap?" |
| 33707 | Do you want my help in any matter? |
| 33707 | Dobe, sitting by the sick child''s cot, began to speak, gravely, and as in a dream:"Who knows? |
| 33707 | Does he know the result of the consultation? |
| 33707 | Does not my lord know that this is a great lie? |
| 33707 | Does the girl think_ she_ is the object? |
| 33707 | Eat? |
| 33707 | Eh? |
| 33707 | Eh? |
| 33707 | Eh? |
| 33707 | Even when he was scolded for something( and by whom and when and for what was he_ not_ scolded? |
| 33707 | Fishel can now no longer contain himself, and asks:"How do you mean, the worse?" |
| 33707 | For how can one weep when one is full? |
| 33707 | For two guldens each it''s not worth their while? |
| 33707 | Fradke and Beilke stretch out their little thin, black hands, look into their father''s eyes, and do n''t believe him: perhaps he is joking? |
| 33707 | Get up, Bertzi, are n''t you a Jew?--a man?--the father of children?--Bertzi, have you God in your heart? |
| 33707 | Ha? |
| 33707 | Ha? |
| 33707 | Ha? |
| 33707 | Ha? |
| 33707 | Ha? |
| 33707 | Ha? |
| 33707 | Ha?" |
| 33707 | Had Ginzburg any objection to make? |
| 33707 | Had he parents? |
| 33707 | Had she ever had one single happy day in her life? |
| 33707 | Had she not the same God? |
| 33707 | Has not God decreed that we should belong together? |
| 33707 | Has someone sent him a turkey out of regard for his study of the Torah? |
| 33707 | Has there been another accident? |
| 33707 | Hasten, did I say? |
| 33707 | Have we so much to show in the next world?" |
| 33707 | Have you business anywhere?" |
| 33707 | Have you ever heard of such impertinence? |
| 33707 | Have you got to chant the Sabbath prayers? |
| 33707 | Have you said Minchah?" |
| 33707 | Have you seen Brooklyn Bridge, or Central Park, or the Baron Hirsch baths?" |
| 33707 | Have you taken a good look at that old maid of yours? |
| 33707 | Have_ you_ been on it? |
| 33707 | Have_ you_, bless and preserve us, bought the Almighty for yourself? |
| 33707 | He asked to which class? |
| 33707 | He asks it of everyone, but they only answer with a merry laugh:"Are you mad? |
| 33707 | He began with the first question one Jew asks another:"What is your name?" |
| 33707 | He fasted too, ha? |
| 33707 | He glanced at the teachers as though ashamed in their presence, and his glance said,"What is to be done now?" |
| 33707 | He sighs and walks on and on, now and then glancing up into the sky:"Lord of the Universe, of whom are you making trial? |
| 33707 | He thought and thought, and thought it over again:"What is a poor creature to do when God sends him the misfortune of riches? |
| 33707 | He was not a talkative man, and he found only two or three words to say:"Feivke, Mother there at home-- and you-- here?" |
| 33707 | He wondered: Should he run away and hide in the wood? |
| 33707 | He would certainly wish to get rid of them, only who would take his misfortune to please him? |
| 33707 | He would never have begun to think about death, but now-- where was the use of living on? |
| 33707 | He, the offender, the transgressor-- and the Shool does not fall upon his head? |
| 33707 | Hear a parable: To what shall we liken the thing? |
| 33707 | Her Yitzchokel disputing with Necheh''s children? |
| 33707 | His one care, his one anxiety had been, what should he do if he were to lose his voice? |
| 33707 | How about Sabbaths and festivals and"shtreik"days? |
| 33707 | How are you getting on, eh?" |
| 33707 | How came a son of mine to the Old Testament? |
| 33707 | How came it about, you may ask, that so versatile a tailor as Yitzchok- Yossel should be so poor? |
| 33707 | How can I compare myself with him? |
| 33707 | How can I get on with the cakes? |
| 33707 | How can a full man grieve? |
| 33707 | How can anyone take the world- to- come in both hands and lose it for the sake of such vanities?" |
| 33707 | How can children grow up without a father? |
| 33707 | How can he help it, if people desire other people''s sweat, other people''s blood? |
| 33707 | How can it grate?" |
| 33707 | How can they bear such a misfortune? |
| 33707 | How can we continue to fulfil it?" |
| 33707 | How can you ask? |
| 33707 | How can you help seeing what becomes of him?" |
| 33707 | How could anyone restrain his tears when he thinks of what we lost that day?" |
| 33707 | How could they do without a fire when it was so cold? |
| 33707 | How could they feel otherwise when they had it from Chavveh herself? |
| 33707 | How do I come to mention the Schpol Grandfather? |
| 33707 | How do you feel now? |
| 33707 | How do you like that? |
| 33707 | How do you like that_ perhaps_? |
| 33707 | How if I do n''t get there?" |
| 33707 | How is it? |
| 33707 | How long did she stand by her mother in the market selling ribbons? |
| 33707 | How long will you disgrace yourselves? |
| 33707 | How many fasts have you?" |
| 33707 | How much do you pay me? |
| 33707 | How much earth have you there?" |
| 33707 | How much thought and care and strength has she spent on preparing the room, their poor little possessions, and the food? |
| 33707 | How should I know? |
| 33707 | How should a child need an advocate with his father?" |
| 33707 | How should there be"questions"? |
| 33707 | How was he to uproot out of such a simple heart the weeds sown there by evil men? |
| 33707 | How, then, can you say that you love me?" |
| 33707 | How? |
| 33707 | I ask you, why, Yüdel, why?" |
| 33707 | I asked him how it was he had come to me in such a state of gloom and bewilderment? |
| 33707 | I beg of you-- who set the whole thing going? |
| 33707 | I gave a jump and called out, O woe is me, why ever did n''t you wake me sooner? |
| 33707 | I glanced up at the moon, and it seemed that she was still looking at me, and saying,"I''m lost; which way am I to go?" |
| 33707 | I had paid him his twenty kopeks in advance, so what excuses could he possibly make? |
| 33707 | I opened the drawer in spite of myself... and saw the bank- notes.... You see how it was?... |
| 33707 | I saw by his artful smile that he had detected a strain of madness in me, and what should he gain by leading me into the paths of reason? |
| 33707 | I shall reply: They_ do_ rise with aching sides, and if you say,"How can people be so lazy?" |
| 33707 | I suppose I am to lie down?" |
| 33707 | I suppose I am to lie down?" |
| 33707 | I suppose I am your father, ha?" |
| 33707 | I want to buy Palestinian earth, earth in Palestine, do you understand? |
| 33707 | I want to live, do you hear? |
| 33707 | I was only joking, ca n''t you see?" |
| 33707 | I wonder, however should I come to travel so far? |
| 33707 | I would give ten years of my life to be able to get higher, if only three or four rungs, but what can I do, if my arms wo n''t serve me? |
| 33707 | I''ll write half, and you''ll write half, ha?" |
| 33707 | IT IS WELL You ask how it is that I remained a Jew? |
| 33707 | If I do confess, what will my Chantzeh- Leah say to it? |
| 33707 | If Lebele dared, he would ask:"What ails you, Rebbe, at the sun? |
| 33707 | If he mumbles a word, his father calls out:"What did I hear? |
| 33707 | If you ask me,"How is it they do n''t wear their sides out with lying in bed?" |
| 33707 | If you do n''t call this Providence, what is? |
| 33707 | If you want to study, ca n''t you study at your father- in- law''s, eating Köst? |
| 33707 | In the evening, as we were going home from the workshop, Manasseh said to me:"Did my wife come to see you yesterday?" |
| 33707 | In the sky, eh?" |
| 33707 | Instead of one bundle, one has two on one''s shoulders, you understand? |
| 33707 | Is He not the Compassionate, the Merciful? |
| 33707 | Is he already condemned? |
| 33707 | Is he going to lecture the people at a time when they are falling dead like flies? |
| 33707 | Is he going to preach? |
| 33707 | Is he likely to have asked anyone''s advice? |
| 33707 | Is it a Jewish concern? |
| 33707 | Is it a thing to do? |
| 33707 | Is it all up?! |
| 33707 | Is it true?" |
| 33707 | Is it your little boy who scratched my Aarontche''s face? |
| 33707 | Is my story finished? |
| 33707 | Is n''t he certain to repent? |
| 33707 | Is n''t it bad enough for them already? |
| 33707 | Is n''t it plain to be seen that it''s a godsend? |
| 33707 | Is n''t it really and truly an excellent idea?" |
| 33707 | Is n''t that a treat? |
| 33707 | Is not Palestinian earth fit to_ live_ on? |
| 33707 | Is not your shame mine?" |
| 33707 | Is that a man to be thought lightly of? |
| 33707 | Is that a small matter? |
| 33707 | Is that it?" |
| 33707 | Is there a fire? |
| 33707 | Is there an engagement?" |
| 33707 | Is there really no remedy? |
| 33707 | Is your cough anything new?" |
| 33707 | It cost them too much to stock the ware? |
| 33707 | It cuts me to the heart that your hair must be shorn off, but what is to be done? |
| 33707 | It did n''t strike thirteen then, did it? |
| 33707 | It does n''t say on my nose whether I have money, or not, or whether I am very low indeed, does it? |
| 33707 | It hurts, does it? |
| 33707 | It seemed to me, that when people have made a promise, it is surely sacred, especially-- you understand? |
| 33707 | It was the only explanation we could invent, for why, otherwise, should the mother have to remain alone among strangers? |
| 33707 | It''s all very well for Genendel Freindel''s daughter to wear a wig, but not for the daughter of Moisheh Groiss? |
| 33707 | It''s hot out of doors, is it? |
| 33707 | Killed? |
| 33707 | Kind, was n''t it? |
| 33707 | Kiss him? |
| 33707 | Letter? |
| 33707 | Like a woman, was n''t it? |
| 33707 | Lipovietz is not more than five versts away-- what can have happened? |
| 33707 | Listen, Sarah, what have you been to worth seeing since we came to America? |
| 33707 | Listen? |
| 33707 | Loibe- Bäres had made a friendly reply, he had even stopped and asked, like an old acquaintance,"Well, Chayyim, and how are you getting on?" |
| 33707 | Look, look, look, do n''t the roses seem as if they were alive?" |
| 33707 | Looking compassionately at the cantor, he asked:"For certain?" |
| 33707 | Matke the smith? |
| 33707 | Money-- just before a fair?" |
| 33707 | Money? |
| 33707 | My father:"Ai- e- o- nu?" |
| 33707 | My father:"Nu- O?" |
| 33707 | My father:"Nu?" |
| 33707 | My husband, what about the Seder? |
| 33707 | Never? |
| 33707 | Next morning when the teacher came, Reb Shloimeh inquired with a displeased expression:"Well, are you going to tell stories again to- day?" |
| 33707 | Not even to be buried with the dead of Israel? |
| 33707 | Nothing more than upset, ha? |
| 33707 | Now do you know what I wanted to say to you?" |
| 33707 | Now he''s a bridegroom at thirty if he''s a day, and we are all asked to the wedding, are we really? |
| 33707 | Now, what would you do if I were the only Christian you could find? |
| 33707 | Of what use is this misfortune to them? |
| 33707 | One child''s voice was tearful:"Where have you been all day?" |
| 33707 | One day the Count said to him,"Tell me the truth, do you love me with your whole heart?" |
| 33707 | One is only human-- one is surely not expected to wrangle with_ him_ about every farthing?) |
| 33707 | One says a blessing over bread and water, but as to saying one over_ this world_--who ever heard of such a thing?" |
| 33707 | One thing always alarmed me very much: However was I to take part in the manoeuvres? |
| 33707 | Only how to say it so that the old man shall understand? |
| 33707 | Only it sometimes happens that he comes back from town tipsy, and makes a great to- do: How do I, a common soldier, come to be sitting on his bed? |
| 33707 | Only what was the use of talking to_ her_ with that bee in her bonnet? |
| 33707 | Only what? |
| 33707 | Only whither? |
| 33707 | Only, how is it to be carried out? |
| 33707 | Or are we to hang a stone round our necks and drown ourselves for shame? |
| 33707 | Or the others? |
| 33707 | Or they? |
| 33707 | Ours? |
| 33707 | Perhaps it is all a dream? |
| 33707 | Perhaps it is the other way about, and your watch is a minute and a half slow? |
| 33707 | Perhaps you want to cover the whole body, to have it underneath and on the top and at the sides? |
| 33707 | Perhaps you would like a sip of lemonade?" |
| 33707 | Perhaps? |
| 33707 | Perhaps?" |
| 33707 | Put his arms round his neck? |
| 33707 | Reb Yainkel, do you know what the doctor said?" |
| 33707 | Reb Yitzchok- Aizik wo n''t marry his youngest daughter without us, and where is he to get others of us now? |
| 33707 | Reb Yochanan put on his glasses, cleared his throat thoroughly, and began to read:"Le- Immi ahuvossi hatzenuoh"..."What is the translation?" |
| 33707 | Say I to him,"Look here, Moshehl, where''s your badge?" |
| 33707 | Say I,"What Morduch? |
| 33707 | Say I,"What do you mean by''_ you_''have united in a resolve? |
| 33707 | Say I,"What do you mean by''taken off''?" |
| 33707 | Say I,"What do you mean by''we are not going back''?" |
| 33707 | Say I,"What do you mean by''we are_ all_ free''?" |
| 33707 | Say I,"What do you mean by''you are free''?" |
| 33707 | Says he to me again,"What is it you want?" |
| 33707 | Says he to me,"Whatever badge?" |
| 33707 | Says he,"Moshke Katz?" |
| 33707 | Says he,"Whatever button?" |
| 33707 | Says she,"Who are they?" |
| 33707 | Seeing that you do n''t know, and that you do n''t understand, why do you undertake to tell me what I ought to do?" |
| 33707 | Shall he first thank and praise God who has brought him safe out of such great peril? |
| 33707 | Shall he go dancing? |
| 33707 | Shall he run into the town? |
| 33707 | Shall you go to the swimming- bath to- morrow?" |
| 33707 | She clenches her right fist, and, fighting the air with it, she vociferates louder than ever:"What has happened, women? |
| 33707 | She? |
| 33707 | Shmerel Woodcutter? |
| 33707 | Should she sit near the door? |
| 33707 | Sleep? |
| 33707 | So he wants us to be at the wedding? |
| 33707 | So late? |
| 33707 | So that was all right-- only, how were they to live? |
| 33707 | So the Rabbi went with him into an empty room, shut the door, and said:"Dear friend, what is your wish? |
| 33707 | Somebody must stay at home, must n''t they? |
| 33707 | Sometimes I go out to the ladder by myself, while the soldiers are still asleep, and stand and look at it: perhaps I can think of a way to manage? |
| 33707 | Sow it and plant it?! |
| 33707 | Suddenly Reb Avròhom exclaimed:"Jews, have you said the blessings on the appearance of the new moon?" |
| 33707 | Suppose I do? |
| 33707 | Suppose a not- good one had introduced himself into the child( which God forbid!)? |
| 33707 | Tate, why? |
| 33707 | Tell him it is n''t fair? |
| 33707 | Tell me openly( it does n''t concern me, but I am curious to know), why this sudden revulsion of feeling about me, this change of opinion? |
| 33707 | Tell me, why?!" |
| 33707 | Tell me-- no? |
| 33707 | That because we are poor people they can do what they please with us?" |
| 33707 | That is, he puts them in right enough, why should n''t he? |
| 33707 | That there will be just enough to help all the Jewish poor? |
| 33707 | That''s all right then, is it? |
| 33707 | That''s all?" |
| 33707 | That( how goes the saying?) |
| 33707 | That_ you_ are the''handle of the pestle''and the rest of the Jews nowhere? |
| 33707 | The air is full of Sholom Alechems,"Welcome, Reb Fishel the teacher, and what are you about?" |
| 33707 | The bride, the bridegroom, the bride''s mother, and the two ladies ran in:"What can have caused it? |
| 33707 | The cantor had grown as white as chalk, and only just managed to say:"Grune, are you mad? |
| 33707 | The child made an effort, sat up, and looked fixedly at his father, with his black, feverish eyes, and suddenly he asked:"Why did you cry there? |
| 33707 | The day is long, is it? |
| 33707 | The dough is kneaded, cut up in pieces, rolled and riddled-- is that a token for the whole Congregation of Israel? |
| 33707 | The earth pleased me, and a conversation took place between us on this wise:"How much do you want for your earth?" |
| 33707 | The guest:"O- nu?" |
| 33707 | The moon?" |
| 33707 | The old man raised his head, and thundered so loudly that Feivke''s face twitched as with pain:"Ha?" |
| 33707 | The old man was about to say something, probably to begin again with"What is all this?" |
| 33707 | The question went round: Who kept a store in a knotted handkerchief, hidden from her husband? |
| 33707 | The question, What is to be done? |
| 33707 | The reason is quite plain: First, what true Jewish maiden looks for beauty in her bridegroom? |
| 33707 | The women and girls blush and glance at him sideways, and he is the one subject of conversation:"Who can that be? |
| 33707 | Then he asked:"To whom do you belong?" |
| 33707 | Then he begins again with his former voice, and implores like a child:"What would you have of me? |
| 33707 | Then he consoles her, and says with a smile:"Who knows? |
| 33707 | Then what?" |
| 33707 | Then who was so happy as Reb Yitzchok- Aizik? |
| 33707 | Then why not you? |
| 33707 | Then, because my own idea clung to me, I added:"Do n''t you want something to eat?" |
| 33707 | Then, seeing that I awaited an answer, he gave a twist to his earlock, and said gently and sincerely:"You wish me to tell you the truth? |
| 33707 | Then, what can it be? |
| 33707 | Then-- it was his father bending over him with a rather troubled look, and waking him in a strangely gentle voice:"Well, Feivke, are you asleep? |
| 33707 | There is another thing: to whom shall be given and to whom not? |
| 33707 | They are not just to you, are they, when they say that about taking children and making Gentiles of them?" |
| 33707 | They are proud of Chavveh; it is an honor for them each and all( and who are they that they should venture to pretend to it?) |
| 33707 | Think you I have not struggled with myself from early this morning till now?" |
| 33707 | Thirty kopeks would n''t pay them? |
| 33707 | To give money in charity? |
| 33707 | To preserve it?" |
| 33707 | True, her speech was a little strange to them, and she was not overpious, but how should God be angry with such a Chavveh as this? |
| 33707 | Wait, have a little brandy, ha?" |
| 33707 | Was he married? |
| 33707 | Was it all right? |
| 33707 | Was it likely he would be a successful trader, when he was always listening to what Heaven and earth and everything around him were singing, too? |
| 33707 | Was she not one of their own people? |
| 33707 | Was there a king there? |
| 33707 | Was there not sufficient reason? |
| 33707 | We went up for examination, and were examined, and we passed and passed high, and did_ not_ get in-- and why? |
| 33707 | Well, how much longer are you going to live among strangers? |
| 33707 | Well, then? |
| 33707 | Well, well, what is all this fuss? |
| 33707 | Well, what do you say, Yüdel? |
| 33707 | Well, what do you suppose? |
| 33707 | Well, what next? |
| 33707 | Well, what next? |
| 33707 | Well, who would be a stepmother? |
| 33707 | Were they cold? |
| 33707 | What about the house?" |
| 33707 | What am I to do with him?" |
| 33707 | What are you all yelling for? |
| 33707 | What are you doing there? |
| 33707 | What are you doing there? |
| 33707 | What are you frightened of? |
| 33707 | What are you staring at me for? |
| 33707 | What are you talking about?" |
| 33707 | What can it mean? |
| 33707 | What did Reb Lebish mean by telling him to throw away his clock? |
| 33707 | What did they know as compared with him? |
| 33707 | What did we cover them with before?" |
| 33707 | What did you say?" |
| 33707 | What did you think, Malkeh, of the fish to- day? |
| 33707 | What difference his heart may have shown, who knows? |
| 33707 | What do I care if he_ does_ become a trader like his father, a merchant like the rest of the Jews? |
| 33707 | What do I want with more?" |
| 33707 | What do I want with your money? |
| 33707 | What do you come plaguing me for? |
| 33707 | What do you mean by it? |
| 33707 | What do you mean by it?" |
| 33707 | What do you say to such luck? |
| 33707 | What do you say to that? |
| 33707 | What do you say?" |
| 33707 | What do you think of fasting two days in succession? |
| 33707 | What do you think of it? |
| 33707 | What do you think of such a shrew? |
| 33707 | What do you think of that? |
| 33707 | What do you think of that?" |
| 33707 | What do you want then?" |
| 33707 | What do you want? |
| 33707 | What does he mean by his words? |
| 33707 | What does he think to accomplish? |
| 33707 | What does it matter if I do n''t understand? |
| 33707 | What does it matter? |
| 33707 | What does it portend? |
| 33707 | What does my lord suppose we are likely to think of such people? |
| 33707 | What does she say to it? |
| 33707 | What does she? |
| 33707 | What does the Rabbi want? |
| 33707 | What else_ could_ they say of a man who left his whole capital to be devoted to educational purposes and schools? |
| 33707 | What else_ could_ they say of a man who spent his last minutes in telling people to learn, to educate themselves? |
| 33707 | What for? |
| 33707 | What friends should he have, poor, miserable wretch?" |
| 33707 | What good can it do you while you''re alive? |
| 33707 | What good is to come of it? |
| 33707 | What good year is taking you about to places where a Jew had better not be seen?" |
| 33707 | What harm can it do to tell him? |
| 33707 | What harm can it do you?" |
| 33707 | What has happened to make you like that? |
| 33707 | What has happened? |
| 33707 | What has happened? |
| 33707 | What has happened? |
| 33707 | What has happened?" |
| 33707 | What has the Schpol Grandfather to do with it, you ask? |
| 33707 | What have I left undone to make something out of him, so that he should be a credit to his family? |

| 33707 | Why not before? |
| 33707 | Why not open the hen- house, and let out the hens? |

| 33707 | Why? |
| 33707 | Why? |
| 33707 | Why?" |
| 33707 | Why?" |
| 33707 | Will the list of souls never come to an end? |
| 33707 | Will you go and bury it with your own hands?" |

| 33707 | With whom am I to begin?" |
| 33707 | With whom? |
| 33707 | Without a lamp when it was so dark? |
| 33707 | Wo n''t they come for less?" |

| 33707 | You are my wife and I am your husband, and is it proper, and what does it look like, a married woman wearing her own hair?" |
| 33707 | You are never going to do me this dishonor? |
| 33707 | You are not talking to the point, or else you are making game of a poor Palestinian Jew?" |
| 33707 | You ask the reason? |
| 33707 | You ask why? |
| 33707 | You do n''t seem to know how it is nowadays with the Gymnasiyes and the percentages?" |
| 33707 | You have heard? |
| 33707 | You hear and understand? |
| 33707 | You hear that? |
| 33707 | You hear what she said? |
| 33707 | You insist upon it? |
| 33707 | You know your Mechutton? |
| 33707 | You may well ask what next? |
| 33707 | You might search an empire.... And what was the result? |
| 33707 | You recollect the bridegroom? |
| 33707 | You see what a kettle of fish? |
| 33707 | You think I say that for fun? |
| 33707 | You will not be offended?" |
| 33707 | You will see, Yüdel-- you know that our brothers consider Palestinian earth a charm against being eaten by worms, and you think that I laugh at it? |
| 33707 | You''ve had nothing to eat to- day yet?" |
| 33707 | You? |
| 33707 | Your wife has just been confined?--Perhaps you need some money for the holidays? |
| 33707 | Yössel"bass"stared at the cantor, and asked:"What are you asking me to- day, cantor?" |
| 33707 | _ My_ children, are they? |
| 33707 | _ Thirteen?_""Thirteen?" |
| 33707 | _ Thirteen?_""Thirteen?" |
| 33707 | and Froike his son, a boy of thirteen or so, greets him, and the father asks,"Well, Efroim, and how far on are you in the Gemoreh?" |
| 33707 | and did not know what to be doing next-- should she go and finish cooking the dinner, or should she pull down her sleeves and make holiday? |
| 33707 | and he replies,"How are_ you_?" |
| 33707 | and the Fast of Esther?" |
| 33707 | and the cantor''s eyes opened wide with fright,"I sing a note, and you say''it grates''? |
| 33707 | asked Reb Selig, as though bewildered,"eh? |
| 33707 | be his fault, that so many Jews are gathered together in one place and squeeze each other, all for love, squeeze each other to death for love? |
| 33707 | eh? |
| 33707 | fire? |
| 33707 | for how much longer? |
| 33707 | ha?" |
| 33707 | ha?" |
| 33707 | have talked him over?" |
| 33707 | if people have not learned to see that one should not drive a man as a horse is driven to work? |
| 33707 | interrupts a second.--"Well, well, well?" |
| 33707 | on such a holy day? |
| 33707 | or a cry? |
| 33707 | people replied, when some one reminded them that it was very sad-- such a man as he had been,"Who told him to do it? |
| 33707 | poverty is no advantage, either, and what does the holy Gemoreh say but"Poverty diverts a man from the way of God"? |
| 33707 | say I,"where have you learned such fine language? |
| 33707 | she consoles herself,"who talks of honor? |
| 33707 | she wondered, and was bathed in tears:"What has come over you? |
| 33707 | thus Berel abused himself,"went to look for trouble, did you? |
| 33707 | to make me the talk of the town?" |
| 33707 | what do_ they_ know?" |
| 33707 | what fire? |
| 33707 | what is the good of it? |
| 33707 | what is this? |
| 33707 | what? |
| 33707 | what?" |
| 33707 | where fire?! |
| 33707 | whispered Reb Shloimeh,"good, ha? |
| 33707 | with this on the brain: Gymnasiye, Gymnasiye, and Gym- na- si- ye? |
| 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?" |
