The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 07 (of 10)
The seventh volume of Sir Richard Francis Burton's translation of the Arabian Nights, published in 1885, begins with a series of short tales of Arab lovers and poets, Otbah and Rayya, Hind daughter of al-Nu'man, the lovers of Bassorah and of Al-Medinah, and anecdotes of Harun al-Rashid and the musicians of Mosul. The center of the volume belongs to the Rogueries of Dalilah the Crafty and her daughter Zaynab, a comic account of two women who outwit the police of Baghdad, and to the Adventures of Mercury Ali of Cairo. Three long romances close it: Ardashir and Hayat al-Nufus, Julnar the Sea-born and her son King Badr Basim, and Prince Sayf al-Muluk and the Princess Badi'a al-Jamal.
