Then she mountedand they set forward with her and fared on over desert and plain and hilltill they came to the shore of the Sea of Treasureswhere they pitched their tents and built a great shipin which they embarked her and her suite and carried them over to the mountain. Here they left them in the castle and making their way back to the shorebroke up the vesselin obedience to the Vizier's commandmentand returned homeweeping over what had befallen.
MeanwhileUns el Wujoud arose from sleep and prayed the morning prayerafter which he mounted and rode forth to wait upon the Sultan. On his wayhe passed by the Vizier's house，thinking to see some of his followersas of wontbut saw no one and drawing near the doorread the verses aforesaid written thereon. At this sighthis senses failed him；fire was kindled in his vitals and he returned to his lodgingwhere he passed the rest of the day in ceaseless trouble and anxiety，without finding ease or patiencetill night darkened upon him，when his transport redoubled. So he put off his clothes and disguising himself in a fakir's habitset outat a venture，under cover of the nightdistraught and knowing not whither he went.
He wandered on all that night and next daytill the heat of the sun grew fierce and the mountains flamed like fire and thirst was grievous upon him. Presentlyhe espied a treeby whose side was a spring of running water；so he made towards it and sitting down in the shadeon the bank of the rivulet，essayed to drinkbut found that the water had no taste in his mouth. Then[looking in the stream，] he saw that his body was wastedhis colour changed and his face grown pale and his，feetto bootswollen with walking and weariness. So he shed copious tears and repeated the following verses：
The lover is drunken with love of his fair；In longing and heat he redoubles fore'er.
Love-maddenedconfoundeddistractedperplexedNo dwelling is pleasant to him and no fare.
For howto a lover cut off from his loveCan life be delightsome？ 'Twere strange an it were.
I melt with the fire of my passion for her And the tears down my cheek roll and never forbear.
