دوام سخن دستور سشم (2/14) این افسانه از بهر آن گفتم ، تا پاذشاه دانذ کی بدبیرهای زنان بی فایده ، ومشورتهای ایشان بی منفعت بوذ ؛ واکاذیب اقوال ، واباطیل افعال ایشان ، بی ضرر وزیان نباشذ ، وهر که قدم در بادیهٔ‌ هوای ایشان نهذ، هرگز بکعبهآ بجاح برسد وجمال فلاح بینذ ، وچهرهآ مطلوب در آبنهٔ‌ بجح مشاهده نکنذ ؛ وشاه دانذ کی نصایح بنده از سر اخلاص واختصاص می روذ ، ومواعظ او از کمال صفوت عقیدت روی می نمایذ ، چه مر بندگان مخلص را تقریر نصیحت از لوازم شریعت مروتست ، تا پاذشاه فرزیدی کی در صدف لطف ، وشرف قصر شرف شاه است ، بدست نهنگ تلف بدهذ ، وخوذرا در چنگ عقاب اسف نهذ :

> Continuation of the Discourse of the Sixth Vizier  
> "I have told this tale so that the king may know that the plans of  
> women are devoid of benefit, and their counsels without advantage; and the falsehoods of their words and the vanities  
> of their deeds are never without harm and loss; and whoever sets foot in the desert of their passion  
> shall never reach the Kaaba of success nor behold the beauty of prosperity, nor witness the countenance of what is sought in the mirror of fulfillment; and the shah knows that the advice of this slave proceeds from pure sincerity and devoted loyalty,  
> he shall not witness; and the shah knows that the slave's counsels stem from sincere devotion and dedicated loyalty,  
> and his admonitions show their face from the perfection of a pure conviction, for upon  
> sincere servants the exposition of advice is among the requisites of the law of chivalry, lest the king  
> give over into the hand of the sea-monster of destruction a child who is in the oyster-shell of grace and the nobility of the castle of the shah's honor, and place himself in the talons of the eagle of grief:  
> give to the jaws of the crocodile of ruin, and cast himself into the talons of the eagle of sorrow:
