It is a great risk , and to go is not wise . It would be a pity for a man like you to fall into the hands of jins and demons . Stay with me , and I will do whatever you wish . ' ' O most delicious person ! ' he answered , ` you are very generous , and the choice of my life lies in truth in your hands ; but I beg one favour of you . If you love me , so do I too love you . If you really love me , do not forbid me to make this journey , but help me as far as you can . Then it may be that I shall succeed , and if I return with my purpose fulfilled I will marry you according to the law , and take you to my own country , and we will spend the rest of our lives together in pleasure and good companionship .

' ' O new fruit of life ! you must just do what I tell you , and you must use your eyes and your brains , for if you do n't you will find yourself at the place of the negroes , who are a bloodthirsty set ; and God forbid they should lay hands on your precious person .
