230 VISKAMIANI thee, I shall seek no other to illumine my palace, and none shall be the balm of my soul save thee. I shall never return to that past which would annoy me against thee and thee against me. But if thou wilt be my wife, I swear to 261 thee that I am | weary never mention Vis's name." Gul thus : replied of all love save thine, and I will "Spread not for me, Kamin, a web 1 of enchantment. I am not one who can be bound in thy net 2 so easily. I desire neither royalty nor greatness from thee, neither a field full of soldiers, nor a treasure-house full of wealth. I have one wish, and if I find its fulfilment in thee, I shall not transgress thy command. When it appears that thou wilt carry on my love to the end and not abandon me, thou shalt not find one thine own like me ; and if thou art not a fickle lover, thou must never desire to go to Khuarasan, nor to be near Vis, nor to mention her, because one person's property is not another's. Why should Moabad's wife be attached 3 to thee as thy queen ? Thou shalt never write to her, never send a man to her, nor let love for her be in thy heart. If thou wilt swear to me to this effect, 4 then on my body shall be two heads and one soul." Ramin rejoiced at this. He made no reply. He stretched out his hand, and they went into Rap'hed's house. Ramin held Gul by the hand. She poured a hundred vessels full of jewels and pearls at 6 Ramin's feet, she seated him on a golden throne. Whoever of their kinsfolk were magnates and nobles, they called them all and made merry. In confirmation of the deed, Ramin swore solemnly by their (local) oaths, by God and fire, that : "As long as the earth endures, 6 262 and Djeon 7 flows a stream ; | as long as fish are found in the sea, or the sun and moon have brilliance ; as long as night is dark, as the wind blows on the mountains, and i Bade, 286. 2 MaJche, 264, 294. 3 ? should the reading be mogepherebia (suit thee) for mogecerebis ? 4 Am pirsa zeda on that subject. 6 Var., Eamin poured at Bap'hed's feet. 6 Djeon, 148, 267, 288, 431, 449. E., 731. 7 Didjila, 259,
RAMIN FALLS IN LOVE WITH GUL 231 beasts feed in the plains, I living shall seek none save Gul, I shall desire no other wife nor lover, nor shall I mention the name of the sorceress Vis, as if I had never loved her. As long as I live, Gul shall be my heart. 1 have separated myself from other love and am weary of it. The rose, a rose in name, is mine, my wife, and Gorab is mine aboda As long as I have the rose I shall not smell a violet ; as long as there is a moon, I shall not esteem the light of the stars." Upon the confirmation of this oath, all Gul's kinsfolk came from all parts from Gurgan, Re, Qum, Ispaan, Eoistan, Khuzistan, and Ban; there were monarchs and nobles. The court was filled with light. They made the wedding and gave Gul to Ramin. 1 Play on the word gul(i). In Georgian, " heart " ; in Persian "rose." I
