88 VISRAMIANI because I love thee. I arn thy mother and nurse. Eamin is thy peer, and thou his ; he loves thee, and thou shouldst love him ; thou art a sun, and he a peerless youth. 1 Do not sacrifice each other in love. When I see you two as one, there will be nothing in the world to trouble me." When the nurse had spoken and said all this, the devil himself helped her to seduce Vis, he made his legions set a thousand nets ; the nurse dug a thousand pitfalls in Vis's road. Thus she spoke : " Behold the wives of monarchs and grandees, they all make merry, each has a lover in secret, each rejoices openly and in secret, whilst thou continually weepest and complainest of Fate. Suddenly age will overtake thee, and thou shalt remain without thy share of the joy of youth. Thou art neither stone nor iron, how canst thou bear such grief?" When Vis heard this discourse from the nurse, from the great energy of the nurse love boiled up, melted her stonymember was bound in a net save her 99 heartedness ; | every tongue, and her tongue kept her secret. words she thus addressed the nurse : Then with pleasant " Aha ! thou sayest truly that women are born for men. Whatever thou sayest, all thou sayest is true, and it is not patchwork thou sewest together (i.e., it is all consistent). 2 Women, however feeble and cowardly they are, are yet the ravishers of the heart and strength of lion-like heroes. A thousand ills come from love of women ; it is better that no one should fall into love with them. I say what I have said because wrath early pursues women as a habit. These thy words just spoken struck my heart like the point of a poisoned arrow ; I sulked for this, because I heard words to make me heavy, my tongue was wayward with evil speech, and I heartily repent it. It behoved me not to behave badly to thee ; if I had had patience, it would have been more praiseworthy. If I listened to the words of none and gave no answer, that would be ill enough. Now I beseech 1 Moqme, 85. 2 Djabanni, 107.
THE NURSE'S SECOND VISIT TO RAMIN 89 God with entreaty to keep me in peace and to preserve my tongue from evil speaking ; as long as I live may the preservation of my purity rejoice my friends and grieve my enemies ; and may the God of Shahro preserve me from an evil wisher like thee and from such an inviter to deeds of misfortune."
