Then with my heart she fared where'er she fared * And left me pledged to sorrows soul subdue.

Mawasif and her women drave on with all diligence till they were far distant from the city and it so fortuned that they came to a convent by the way，wherein dwelt a Prior called Danis and forty monks.[368] When the Prior saw her beauty，he went out to her and invited her to alight，saying，'Rest with us ten days and after wend your ways.'So she and her damsels alighted and entered the convent；and when Danis saw her beauty and loveliness，she debauched his belief and he was seduced by her：
wherefore he fell to sending the monks，one after other with love-messages；but each who saw her fell in love with her and sought her favours for himself，whilst she excused and denied herself to them.But Danis ceased not his importunities till he had dispatched all the forty，each one of whom fell love-sick at first sight and plied her with blandishments never even naming Danis；whilst she refused and rebuffed them with harsh replies.
