Mohsin went forth and bought him a black cock and when Sabbath[FN#449] came round the Sultan presented him to his daughter whom he found in sore and sorrowful state, unknowing how the mishap had occurred to her.  Now when he went in and looked upon her in such case, he drew near to her and fell to reciting Koranic versets which avert evil (the Sultan sitting beside them the while); and at the last he slaughtered the cock between her feet.  Hereat the Princess recovered her senses and rose up and sat down[FN#450] forthright and called for meat and drink which were brought to her; then she ate and drank and besought for herself the guidance of God and said, “Alhamdolillah”—­laud to the Lord—­and presently she kissed the hand of her sire and of Shaykh Mohsin.  Quoth the King, “O my daughter, art thou indeed well?” and quoth she, “At this present I feel naught of pain in my person nor do I sense anything of what hath been with me; and all this is by blessing of yonder Shaykh thou hast brought to me.  But say me, O my father, what hast thou made over to him of money as a reward for unsorcelling me?” “O my dauvhter,” replied he, “I have offered him all he shall ask.”  But when the Princess recovered from her malady and returned to self, she changed from mode to mode and she became as one cast in the mould of beauty and loveliness and Shaykh Mohsin looking upon her was dazed and amazed in his wits by cause of her exceeding comeliness and seemlihead.  Presently the Princess addressed, “O Shaykh Mohsin, what thing dost thou ask of the King’s Majesty?” for indeed her heart was fulfilled of the love to him which had mastered her.  Now the Wazir had a son and it was his aim that his heir should marry the King’s daughter, but this his wish was in vain; for when she was certified that her salvation was at the hand of Shaykh Mohsin, she said to her sire, “Do thou, O my father, largesse what is dearest to thee upon my healer."[FN#451] Her design in these words was that the Sultan might bestow her to wife upon her deliverer, and she added, “Indeed our joyance hath been at his hands and he is deserving of munificence full and abundant.”  But again the object of her speech was that her parent might espouse her to the Shaykh for the love to Mohsin which had mastered her heart.  Quoth her father, “O my daughter we will give him a sumptuous robe of honour and ten purses;” but quoth she, “No, O my sire, this be not gift sufficient for the like of such service.”  Now she was the sole prop of her parents who had no child save herself, so the King replied, “O my daughter, I will give him whatso thou shalt say.”  Thereupon she asked him, “How many of the folk came in to me and uncovered my shame[FN#452] and were slain therefor?” and he answered, “Some fifty.”  Then cried she, “Had not Shaykh Mohsin been able to exorcise me what hadst thou done with him?” “Indeed I had slain him.”  “Then Alhamdolillah—­Glory be to God—­for that my deliverance was at his hand:  so do thou bestow upon him thy best,” and so she spake
