For Celia has done nothing to deserve punishment . '' `` If people will not do as you tell them they ought to suffer for it , '' answered his foster-brother ; `` but even if it were unjust , you had better be accused of that by your subjects than that they should find out that they may insult and thwart you as often as they please . '' In saying this he was touching a weak point in his brother 's character ; for the Prince 's fear of losing any of his power made him at once abandon his first idea of trying to be good , and resolve to try and frighten the shepherdess into consenting to marry him . His foster-brother , who wanted him to keep this resolution , invited three young courtiers , as wicked as himself to sup with the Prince , and they persuaded him to drink a great deal of wine , and continued to excite his anger against Celia by telling him that she had laughed at his love for her ; until at last , in quite a furious rage , he rushed off to find her , declaring that if she still refused to marry him she should be sold as a slave the very next day . But when he reached the room in which Celia had been locked up , he was greatly surprised to find that she was not in it , though he had the key in his own pocket all the time . His anger was terrible , and he vowed vengeance against whoever had helped her to escape . His bad friends , when they heard him , resolved to turn his wrath upon an old nobleman who had formerly been his tutor ; and who still dared sometimes to tell the Prince of his faults , for he loved him as if he had been his own son . At first Prince Darling had thanked him , but after a time he grew impatient and thought it must be just mere love of fault-finding that made his old tutor blame him when everyone else was praising and flattering him . So he ordered him to retire from his Court , though he still , from time to time , spoke of him as a worthy man whom he respected , even if he no longer loved him . His unworthy friends feared that he might some day take it into his head to recall his old tutor , so they thought they now had a good opportunity of getting him banished for ever . They reported to the Prince that Suliman , for that was the tutor 's name , had boasted of having helped Celia to escape , and they bribed three men to say that Suliman himself had told them about it . The Prince , in great anger , sent his foster-brother with a number of soldiers to bring his tutor before him , in chains , like a criminal . After giving this order he went to his own room , but he had scarcely got into it when there was a clap of thunder which made the ground shake , and the Fairy Truth appeared suddenly before him . `` I promised your father , '' said she sternly , `` to give you good advice , and to punish you if you refused to follow it . You have despised my counsel , and have gone your own evil way until you are only outwardly a man ; really you are a monster -- the horror of everyone who knows you . It is time that I should fulfil my promise , and begin your punishment . I condemn you to resemble the animals whose ways you have imitated . You have made yourself like the lion by your anger , and like the wolf by your greediness . Like a snake , you have ungratefully turned upon one who was a second father to you ; your churlishness has made you like a bull . Therefore , in your new form , take the appearance of all these animals . ''
The Fairy had scarcely finished speaking when Prince Darling saw to his horror XXXXX her words were fulfilled .
