Then the merchant recited a verse of some beauty without allowing his lips to touch each other " The earth, set ablaze in the whole forest by the flames of fire of the enemies' might, has been restored to pacificatiou by being sprinkled over with a current of water in the form of the sharp edge of the sword".

But then the crooked merchant formed connections with a slave girl who goon became pregnant and entertained all sorts of longings.
