the daughter of King Quimus has done my two brothers to death ; I wish to avenge them upon her . ' These words brought his father to tears . ' O light of your father ! ' he cried , ' I have no one left but you , and now you ask me to let you go to your death . ' ` Dear father ! ' pleaded the prince , ` until I have lowered the pride of that beauty , and have set her here before you , I can not settle down or indeed sit down off my feet . ' In the end he , too , got leave to go ; but he went a without a following and alone . Like his brothers , he made the long journey to the city of Quimus the son of Timus ; like them he saw the citadel , but he saw there the heads of Tahmasp and Qamas . He went about in the city , saw the tent and the drums , and then went out again to a village not far off . Here he found out a very old man who had a wife 120 years old , or rather more . Their lives were coming to their end , but they had never beheld face of child of their own . They were glad when the prince came to their house , and they dealt with him as with a son . He put all his belongings into their charge , and fastened his horse in their out-house . Then he asked them not to speak of him to anyone , and to keep his affairs secret . He exchanged his royal dress for another , and next morning , just as the sun looked forth from its eastern oratory , he went again into the city . He turned over in his mind without ceasing how he was to find out the meaning of the riddle , and to give them a right answer , and who could help him , and how to avenge his brothers . He wandered about the city , but heard nothing of service , for there was no one in all that land who understood the riddle of Princess Mihr-afruz . One day he thought he would go to her own palace and see if he could learn anything there , so he went out to her garden-house . It was a very splendid place , with a wonderful gateway , and walls like Alexander 's ramparts . Many gate-keepers were on guard , and there was no chance of passing them .
His heart was full of bitterness , but he said XXXXX himself : ` All will be well !
