O princess ! I went for water , and I saw an image , and I was afraid . ' So another girl went to the water and saw the same thing , and came back with the same story . The princess wished to see for herself ; she rose and paced to the spot with the march of a prancing peacock . When she saw the image she said to her nurse : ` Find out who is reflected in the water , and where he lives . ' Her words reached the prince 's ear , he lifted up his head ; she saw him and beheld beauty such as she had never seen before . She lost a hundred hearts to him , and signed to her nurse to bring him to her presence . The prince let himself be persuaded to go with the nurse , but when the princess questioned him as to who he was and how he had got into her garden , he behaved like a man out of his mind -- sometimes smiling , sometimes crying , and saying : ' I am hungry , ` Or words misplaced and random , civil mixed with the rude . ` What a pity ! ' said the princess , ` he is mad ! ' As she liked him she said : ` He is my madman ; let no one hurt him . ' She took him to her house and told him not to go away , for that she would provide for all his wants . The prince thought , ` It would be excellent if here , in her very house , I could get the answer to her riddle ; but I must be silent , on pain of death . ' Now in the princess 's household there was a girl called Dil-aram -LSB- 7 -RSB- ; she it was who had first seen the image of the prince . She came to love him very much , and she spent day and night thinking how she could make her affection known to him . One day she escaped from the princess 's notice and went to the prince , and laid her head on his feet and said : ` Heaven has bestowed on you beauty and charm . Tell me your secret ; who are you , and how did you come here ? I love you very much , and if you would like to leave this place I will go with you . I have wealth equal to the treasure of the miserly Qarun . ' But the prince only made answer like a man distraught , and told her nothing .
He said to himself , ` God forbid that the veil should be taken XXXXX vain from my secret ; that would indeed disgrace me . '
