LETTER XLIII.
Usbek to Pharan, at the Gardens of Fatme.
LET thy heart receive joy, and reverence these sacred characters; let the chief eunuch and the intendant of my gardens kiss them. I forbid their attempting any thing against thee; tell them to buy the eunuch I want. Do you discharge your duty, as though I was always present with thee; for know that the greater my kindness is, if thou abusest it, the greater shall be thy punishment.
Paris, the 25th of the moon Rhegeb, 1713.
