Note 13 — THE HISTORY OF THE KING’S SON OF SIND AND THE LADY FATIMAH.[3]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
[The text, as I read it, has: “In wahadtu (read wajadtu) fí házih al-Sá’áh shayyan naakul-hu wa namút bi-hi nartáh min házá al-Taab wa’l-mashakkah la-akultu-hu” = if I could find at this hour a something (i.e. in the way of poison) which I might eat and die thereby and rest from this toil and trouble, I would certainly eat it, etc.—St.]
