> The Coming of the Slave-Girl on the Second Day into the Shah’s Presence  
> of his son, because one of the viziers, through subtle admonitions  
> and fine points of counsel, had cast him into doubt and hesitation regarding the execution of this resolve,  
> turned his state of wrath into assent and contentment, forbidden and prevented him from proceeding with punishment,  
> and brought forward rare and remarkable tales regarding the various wiles of women and the descriptions of their treachery,  
> arguing that no regard should be paid to their blame or praise, their seriousness or jesting,  
> and that their reproach, praise, refusal, and inclination ought not to be deemed worthy of erasure or affirmation;  
> and that the maxim 'Consult them and oppose them' should be made the rule for consideration and the model for testing;  
> for whoever has been granted this express distinction: 'Men are the managers of the affairs of women,'  
> should not look to their defective words, which emerge from the secret chamber of 'Women are deficient in intellect and religion.'  
> \[Such were the words that\] had found acceptance.  
> She therefore went before the shah's throne, disguised in appearance and bewildered in demeanor, and after delivering  
> her greetings and fulfilling the duties of service, said: 'The justice of the shah is the aid of the aggrieved, the refuge of the oppressed,  
> and the support of the forsaken; and every exaggeration that the shah’s world-adorning judgment  
> exercises in laying down the principles of equity and strengthening the foundations of justice is the vanguard  
> of the perpetuity of his dominion and the preface to the endurance of his realm. If this excessive and heinous wrong done against this maidservant  
> had befallen one of the ordinary servants of the harem, the justice of the shah would have required  
> that, in accordance with greatness and dignity, the requirement of disdain and self-respect, and the obligations
