Note 146 — NIGHT ADVENTURE OF HARUN AL-RASHID AND THE YOUTH MANJAB.[106]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
This couplet has repeatedly occurred: in the preceding volume, Night cdv. (Suppl. iv. 222); and in The Nights (proper), vol. vi. 246. Here I have quoted Lane (A. N. iii. 220), who has not offered a word of comment or of explanation concerning a somewhat difficult couplet.
