As she liked him she said : ` He is my madman ; let no one hurt him . ' She took him to her house and told him not to go away , for that she would provide for all his wants . The prince thought , ` It would be excellent if here , in her very house , I could get the answer to her riddle ; but I must be silent , on pain of death . ' Now in the princess 's household there was a girl called Dil-aram -LSB- 7 -RSB- ; she it was who had first seen the image of the prince . She came to love him very much , and she spent day and night thinking how she could make her affection known to him . One day she escaped from the princess 's notice and went to the prince , and laid her head on his feet and said : ` Heaven has bestowed on you beauty and charm . Tell me your secret ; who are you , and how did you come here ? I love you very much , and if you would like to leave this place I will go with you . I have wealth equal to the treasure of the miserly Qarun . ' But the prince only made answer like a man distraught , and told her nothing . He said to himself , ` God forbid that the veil should be taken in vain from my secret ; that would indeed disgrace me . ' So , with streaming eyes and burning breast , Dil-aram arose and went to her house and lamented and fretted . Now whenever the princess commanded the prince 's attendance , Dil-aram , of all the girls , paid him attention and waited on him best . The princess noticed this , and said : ' O Dil-aram ! you must take my madman into your charge and give him whatever he wants . ' This was the very thing Dilaram had prayed for . A little later she took the prince into a private place and she made him take an oath of secrecy , and she herself took one and swore , ` By Heaven ! I will not tell your secret . Tell me all about yourself so that I may help you to get what you want . ' The prince now recognised in her words the perfume of true love , and he made compact with her . '
