what is hardest to get is most valued . Up till now I have been subject to no man , and no man had had my love . The many kings and kings sons who have died at my hands have died because it was their fate to die like this . In this matter I have not sinned . That was their fate from eternity ; and from the beginning it was predestined that my fate should be bound up with yours . ' The prince gave ear to the argument from pre-ordainment , and as she was a very lovely maiden he took her too in lawful marriage . She and Jamila , set up house together , and Dil-aram and Gul set up theirs ; and the prince passed the rest of his life with the four in perfect happiness , and in pleasant and sociable entertainment . Now has been told what the rose did to the cypress . Finished , finished , finished !
