So it happened to the cruel queen, for in spite of her looking on in great contempt at the mortal anguish of the unhappy shepherd girl, she was unable to control herself at such a dreadful sight, and fell into such a serious plight herself that she became mad. During the whole of the rest of her life she never ceased to tremble and go through all the contortions of the burning shepherdess. Thus the women who had the charge of her were frequently frightened. Nothing could cure her. Neither this affliction of the queen nor her death caused any grief either to her subjects or the king. The latter never went even to see her, and everybody spoke against her cruelty. In order that the reader by the variety of matter may pass his time more agreeably, I will relate an incident that happened in the year 1665 at the court of Dihli.
