was alfo feated by him. It happened that the portrait of a handfome young man appeared among others. The prin cefs, the form of whofe perfon had been impreffed on the journal of exiftence in characters of art and deceit, and whofe compofition was formed of the mixtures of diffimulation and the leaven of hypocrify, inftantly threw her veil over her face. The king, upon this circumftance, being filled with furprize, faid, In this palace, where no ftranger is prefent, and the admiffion of an unentitled perfon cannot be fuppofed, what can be the reafon for drawing the veil over thy countenance?' The cunning dame replied, O beloved of Egypt, my bashfulness arole from the picture of this ftranger, whole glotting eyes you might fancy are on the gaze. Modefly feized the vefture of my heart; impulfively I hid my face, and was not willing that even the femblance of a ftrange man's eye should, prefent itself to mine.' The king, on beholding the purity and chastity of his wife, being pleafed beyond meature, became entirely confident in her virtue, and his reliance on her fidelity and innocence, from one,grew to a hundred fold.

When fome time had paffed in this manner, the king, one night, as ufual, was reclining on the pillow of repofe, but in a dozing manner, with his eyes half clof ed, and the gentle queen fitting on a corner of the bed. Suddenly, à tabby cat having entered at the door, and made two or three fprings near the bed, rofe up in the form of a beautiful woman. The queen, pattern of virtue, having embraced her with great ardour, uttered many compliments, and feated her by her fide. Suppofing the king overcome with the fumes of fleep, without delay opening the lock of speech, the enquired the reason of her coming? The dame, after the manner of ambaffadors, fharpening the tongue of meflage, faid, Thy filter, after expreffing the ufual defire and affection, represents, that tonight thy niece, quitting the chamber of celibacy, will with good luck and felis city be ufhered on the bridal throne. Though all the requifites of feftivity have been prepared, and the affemblage of good fortune with all aufpicioufnels and joy, has found a happy connection; yet, without thy eftimable prefence, they can have no brilliancy, and all the ladies being defirous of thy fortunate interview, wait thy honouring arrival. If, oblerving your former kindness and ufual fas vour, you will bind them in obligation,

it will be highly acceptable; if you will illume the gloomy chamber of the wishes of expectants with your mirth-conjoined approach, it will be efteemed of importance. The youth alfo, in the bond of whofe love is the heart of the queen of the world, and concerning the taming of which wild one of the foreft of affection

and regard, before this, the hint was given, has to night fallen into the fnare. The sparkling wine, rofy-coloured, which gives the crimlon tinge to mirth, is eager to be poured out. The melodious gurgling, like the nightingale, fits upon the chryftal branch.':

The angel-refembling queen placed the finger of compliance on her eyes, and fhewing much delight and fatisfaction, exclaimed, Since a night which I have fought for in a thoufand mattin prayers has arrived, the dawn of wakeful profperity has gleamed from the horizon of my defires, and the garden of my friend's withes has received freshness from the wavings of the gale of enjoyment; nergus-like (a flower) should I haften on the foot of my eyes, it is allowable. Added to this, the attainment of the aufpicious company of the glorious youth, who has plundered the wealth of my heart, and to whofe amber locks my foul is captive, will be a cause of twofold happinefs. How acceptable will it be for two objects to be attained by one fmile!-As, on account of the king's fleep my heart is at reft, I will by the af fiftance of my wakeful fortune, convey myself in the twinkling of an eye to the paradifical affembly. Having faid this, The difmiffed the meffenger.

As the place to which the queen intended going was diftant fix hundred miles from the king's palace, he became involved in the depth of aftonifhment, how this demon in angel's form, in one night's journey, could travel fuch a diftance beyond the reach of human abili ty, and how return. Even allowing that' fhe could mount the charger of the weftern breeze, ftill it could not be conceiv ed accomplishable. At all events, refigning his foot to the path of difcovery of this myfterious bufinefs, and the developement of fuch a firange miracle, he guarded his limbs from motion, and like one in found fleep, began to fnore. The queen, from whole hypocrify the devil himself would have run a journey of a hundred years, forthwith dreifed herself`` in royal robes and princely ornaments, and took uncommon pains in adjusting them. Then calling the vizier's wife to

her,

her, they both together tumbling a little upon the carpet, became transformed into tabby cats, and leaping out of the palace, haftened from the city. The king also at the fame instant, having risen from the bed, followed the cats.

In the environs of the city was a tree of wonderful fize and height, its foliage thick, and its branches as it were touching the sky, into which the two cats afcended. The king, embracing the trunk, fixed his feet in the upper fibres of the root. All at once the tree began to fhake, and moving from its place, mounted rapidly into the air; then, in the twinkling of an eye, becoming fixed again, ceafed from motion. As the found of trumpets, drums, and flutes, now reached the ears of the king, he fuppofed that the marriage-feaft and affembly of joy was here prepared. Inftantly quitting the trunk of the tree, he retired to a little diftance. The two cats, having defcended, ran towards a city, and the king followed; tili at length they reached a palace, where all ranks were affembled in numerous crowds. The cats went into the haram, and the king fat down in the affembly on a corner of the carpet, where no one, from his being a franger, took notice of him. His at tention was wholly bent toward the return of the cats left they should efcape, and he become a wanderer in a foreign country, and on account of the want of a conveyance or guide, reach not again his own dominions.

When half of the night had elapfed, a young man, bearing a wreath of flowers in a tray fet with jewels, entered the affembly; for fuch was the ufage in that country, that they firft caft a garland of flowers over the fhoulders of the bridegroom, and then taking him into private apartments, performed the mar riage ceremony. It happened that the bridegroom was deformed and ugly. The youth entrusted with the wreath, not thinking it fit to introduce fuch a mi fhapen wretch into an affembly of Hoories, and to feat him on the throne with the angel-formed bride, intended, that having chofen a handfome youth from the company, he would throw the wreath upon his fhoulders, and, having introduced him into the angel-like affembly, perform the cuftoms and ceremonies. It happened that the elegant form and beautiful countenance of the king ftruck his view; and without hefitation, cafting the wreath upon him, he took him by the hand, and begged him to arife. The

king, who from fear of the efcape of the cats, trembled like a mouse, regarding the wreath of flowers as a coil of blooddevouring fuakes, was confounded, and over whelined in the abyss of aftonishe ment. As, however, he had not power to refufe, he arofe and entered the royal apartments.

Here he beheld a concourfe of Hoories and Peries met together; on every fide heaps on heaps of the flowers and fhrubs of beauty blooming, and fmiles and giances, like the leaves of the rofe in fpring, waving over the furface of the ca per. In fhort, they feated the young king on the throne of honour; and, according to the cuftom of the natives of Hindooltan, resembling paradife, tied round his arms a wreath of pearls and jewels, like the chain of the Pleiades. All the Hoori and Peri-like ladies formed a circle a round him, as clufters of ftars round the moon, and performed the cuftomary ceremonies, according to the rules and ufages of their tribes.

The king fat in perfect filence. In this fituation, his eye fell on his own chafte wife, who in a retired part of the room, with the vizier's lady and fome other rofe-cheeked dames, quaffed goblets of brilliantly (parkling wine, and in the intoxication of the grape and the rapture of delight, clafped her lover in embrace. At length arifing, the advanc ed near, and looking at the king earneftly, faid to the vizier's lady, The eternal has fo formed alike the countenance of this young man with that of the king, that you would fancy he was my hufband. However, from the fumes of intoxication, the did not perfectly recog nize him, and the great distance of her own country was allo the means of doubt and caule of difbelief. Satisfied with this expreffion of wonder, the retired again toward the youth who was the fovereign of her heart.

The king on hearing her exclamations, with all his valour and fortitude, from dread of his wife, had nearly quitted his mortal frame. Being at laft difmiffed from the private apartments, he haftened into the affembly of the men, and employed himself in thanksgivings to the divine preferver; refolving, fhould he arrive safely from this danger in his own dominiens, that he would without delay difpatch his wife to the pit of the lower regions. When the blush of earlieft dawn had appeared, the two cats having come from within, paffed swiftly by, and the king hastily followed
