Arabian Nights Page #5

Lie down and sleep.

I will die.

Wake up Aziz, and eat.

I'm not hungry.

Eat, don't act like a child.

This time, be sure to neither

eat nor sleep in the garden.

She will come at dawn.

I'll give you some advice.

When you leave her, after...

having done what you want...

recite these lines...

In the Name of God, what to do

when love becomes my master?

I mustn't touch anything!

Aziz, my love, you waited for me.

So, did you recite the lines?

I forgot,

I was looking at this scroll

she gave to me.

Isn't it beautiful?

May I have it?

Yes, if you like it!

Tomorrow, before leaving her,

promise to recite those lines.

I promise. But now let me sleep.

- Farewell!

- Listen!

In the Name of God, what to do

when love becomes my master?

He who loves must hide his secret

and be resigned to it.

- Where is Aziza?

- On the terrace, alone and crying.

Why?

How have you the heart to leave her,

without a thought of her suffering?

Did you recite it?

Yes. She answered with these lines:

"He who loves must hide his secret

and be resigned to it."

He has tried to resign himself,

but his heart was broken

by an impossible passion.

Tomorrow, as you leave,

recite those lines to her.

He has tried to resign himself,

but his heart was broken

by an impossible passion.

My love.

If he cannot resign himself,

he might as well be dead.

Here.

Did you say my lines to her?

Yes. She said:

"If he cannot resign himself,

he might as well be dead."

We have heard and obeyed.

So we die.

Say good-bye to she

who has prevented my love.

Listen:

We have heard and obeyed.

So we die.

Say good-bye to she

who has prevented my love.

The girl who recited

those lines is dead.

If I had known about her,

I would not have let you near me.

She's my cousin!

- Did she know we made love?

- Yes.

May God make you weep over your youth

as you made her weep over hers.

Go and see her.

How long will the ceremony go on?

We shall pray until late tonight.

You too, with her death

on your conscience

What did you do to break her heart?

She told me nothing. Tell me.

I didn't do anything.

Before dying she said

you should tell the other girl:

"Fidelity is good, but so is infidelity."

I'll tell her.

She left something to give you,

but only when you truly

suffer for her death.

Show me.

I don't see you crying sincerely

over her death.

Well, I must go now, I can't wait.

My love!

You were right, she's dead.

We buried her today.

You are to blame.

Beware you don't have to pay for it.

She left some words for you:

"Fidelity is good, but so is infidelity."

She has saved you with these words:

I had decided to harm you.

Harm me? How?

Tonight, before making love to me,
