Writer: Laurence Housman
A city among the isles named Deryabar
Aladdin in the cave
At so arrogant a claim all the courtiers burst into loud laughter
Great was the astonishment of the vizier
Pirouze, the fairest and most honourably born
Princess Scheherazade, the heroine of the thousand and one nights, ranks among the great storytellers of the world
Princess badoura
She gave orders for the banquet to be served
So strange of from and so brilliant and diverse in hue
Supposing me asleep they began to talk
The Rokh
The damsel upset the pan
The episode of the old man of the sea
The final marriage procession
The lady Bedr-El-Budur
The lady advanced to meet him
The princess Deryabar
Their chief in a low but distinct voice uttered the two words, open sesame
This way and that she led him blindfold
Till the tale of her mirror contented her
