> The Coming of the Slave-Girl on the Second Day to the Presence of the Shah  
> and inventiveness of women might become clear to the sublime judgment, and he might pay no heed to their words, deceptions, vanities, and delusions;  
> because women, although deficient in intellect, laugh at the perfection  
> of men's intellects, and ensnare the wise in the net of their speech like hyenas into the sack of their own absurdity.  
> And if the king requires an example from real persons to clarify minds,  
> the story of Adam and Eve, and of Joseph and Zulaykhā, is the rule of reflection and the standard  
> of trial; and if anyone could have gained an advantage in dealing with them, it would have been Adam,  
> whose constitution and creation took place in the chambers of the Abode of Delight, and whose form and quality were the index  
> of the fairest form. And since these premises have become clear to the shah,  
> he knows that never, in the abode of generation and corruption, can rectitude and righteousness be sought from their disposition and nature,  
> and that for the instigation and mischief of a woman, the prince—who is the pole of the sphere of virtues  
> and the center of the circles of nobility—must not be surrendered to the cold blast of annihilation and death.’  
> When the shah listened to this story and heard these words, he gave the command  
> to convey the prince to prison.  
> The Coming of the Slave-Girl on the Second Day into the Shah’s Presence  
> On the second day, when the surveyor of the upper realm brought the measure of heaven’s revolution to the point of the eastern horizon,  
> drew a saffron-colored curtain over the faces of the seven green vaults, and spread a multicolored carpet  
> over the expanse of this dusky sphere, it reached the hearing of the slave-girl that the shah had delayed the execution of the punishment
