THE BIRDS.
He.Where thou dwellest, in what grove,
Tell me, fair one, tell me, love,
Where thou thy charming nest dost build,
O thou pride of every field!
She.Yonder stands a lonely tree,
There I live and mourn for thee;
Morning drinks my silent tear,
And evening winds my sorrow bear.
He.O thou summer's harmony,
have lived and mourned for thee;
Each day I mourn along the wood,
And night hath heard my sorrows loud.
She.Dost thou truly long for me? And am I thus sweet to thee
Sorrow now is at an end,
O my lover and my friend!
He.Come! on wings of joy we'll fly
To where my bower is hung on high;
Come, and make thy calm retreat
Among green leaves and blossoms sweet.

# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Dashkoff, Yekaterina Romanovna

Edition of 1879. See also Yekaterina Romanovna Vorontsova-Dashkova on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
DASHKOFF, Yekaterina Romanovna, a Russian princess, born in 1744, died near Moscow, Jan. 4, 1810. She was the third daughter of Count Roman Vorontzoff, received a literary education at the house of her uncle the grand chancellor, and early exhibited an independent and energetic spirit. When hardly past childhood she was introduced into the court, and became attached to the person of the future empress Catharine II. In her 16th year she married Prince Dashkoff, with whom she lived for some time in Moscow, and then returned to the court, where her sister Elizabeth had become the favorite of the new emperor, Peter III. Jealous lest her sister should ascend the throne, and disgusted with the despotism and disorders of the court, she became at the age of 18 the soul of a conspiracy which deprived Peter of his throne
and life, and made his German wife the autocrat of Russia. The means she employed to strengthen this conspiracy were often questionable; and at the execution, dressed in male costume and mounted on horseback, she commanded a body of soldiers. But the scanty rewards the empress bestowed upon her by no means answered the expectations of the princess; her request to be appointed colonel of the imperial guard was refused, and her independence of character and bluntness of manners soon deprived her of the imperial friendship. Retired from court, she devoted herself to study and the society of scholars; and after the death of her husband she travelled through the west of Europe. On her return to St. Petersburg in 1782, she met with a more favorable disposition on the part of the empress, who appointed her to the presidency of the academy of sciences, and in 1784 to that of the new Russian academy. She took an active part in the elaboration of the great Russian dictionary, which was completed according to her plan. She also wrote plays and contributions in prose and verse for periodicals, and edited a monthly magazine. After the death of Catharine (1796), she was commanded by Paul to retire to a poor village in the government of Novgorod, “where she could meditate on the events of 1762.” The intercession of her friends finally released her from this exile, and she spent the last years of her life on an estate near Moscow. The “Memoirs of the Princess Daschkaw, Lady of Honor to Catharine II., edited from the Originals by Mrs. Bradford” (2 vols. 8vo, London, 1840), were written from a manuscript of the princess which has been destroyed.

Second-level story, contained in The Merchant and the Genie
THE THIRD OLD MAN’S STORY.
This mule was my wife. Some time ago, I had occasion to travel and was absent from her a whole year; at the end of which time I returned home by night and found my wife in bed with a black slave, talking and laughing and toying and kissing and dallying. When she saw me, she made haste and took a mug of water and muttered over it; then came up to me and sprinkled me with the water, saying, “Leave this form for that of a dog!” And immediately I became a dog. She drove me from the house, and I went out of the door and ceased not running till I came to a butcher’s shop, where I stopped and began to eat the bones. The butcher took me and carried me into his house; but ​when his daughter saw me, she veiled her face and said to her father, “How is it that thou bringest a man in to me?” “Where is the man?” asked he; and she replied, “This dog is a man, whose wife has enchanted him, and I can release him.” When her father heard this, he said, “I conjure thee by Allah, O my daughter, release him!” So she took a mug of water and muttered over it, then sprinkled a little of it on me, saying, “Leave this shape and return to thy former one.” And immediately I became a man again and kissed her hand and begged her to enchant my wife as she had enchanted me. So she gave me a little of the water and said to me, “When thou seest her asleep, sprinkle her with this water and repeat the words thou hast heard me use, naming the shape thou wouldst have her take, and she will become whatever thou wishest.” So I took the water and returned home and went in to my wife. I found her asleep and sprinkled the water upon her, saying, “Quit this form for that of a mule.” And she at once became a mule; and this is she whom thou seest before thee, O Sultan and Chief of the Kings of the Jinn!’ Then he said to the mule, ‘Is it true?’ And she nodded her head and made signs as who should say, ‘Yes, indeed: this is my history and what befell me.’”

Second-level story, contained in The Malice of Women
THE TWO PIGEONS.
A pair of pigeons once stored up wheat and barley in their nests in the winter, and when the summer came, the grain shrivelled and became less; so the male pigeon said to his mate, “Thou hast eaten of this grain.” “No, by Allah,” replied she; “I have not touched it!” But he believed her not and beat her with his wings and pecked her with his bill, till he killed her. When the cold season returned, the corn swelled out and became as before, whereupon he knew that he had slain his mate unjustly and wickedly and repented, when repentance availed him not. Then he lay down by her side, mourning over her and weeping for grief, and left eating and drinking, till he fell sick and died.

THE THIEF AND HIS MONKEY.
A certain man had a monkey and was a thief, who never entered one of the markets of the city in which he dwelt, but he made off with great purchase. One day, he saw a man offering for sale worn clothes, and he went calling them in the market, but none bid for them, and all to whom he showed them refused to buy of him. Presently, the thief saw him put the clothes in a wrapper and sit down to rest for weariness; so he made the ape sport before him, and whilst he was busy gazing at it, stole the parcel from him. Then he took the ape and made off to a lonely place, where he opened the wrapper and taking out the old clothes, wrapped them in a piece of costly stuff. This he carried to another market and exposed it for sale with what was therein, making it a condition that it should not be opened and tempting the folk with the lowness of the price he set on it. A certain man saw the wrapper and it pleased him; so he bought the parcel on these terms and carried it home, doubting not but he had gotten a prize. When his wife saw it, she said, ‘What is this?’ And he answered, ‘It is precious stuff, that I have bought below its worth, meaning to sell it again and take the profit.’ ‘O dupe,’ rejoined she, ‘would this stuff be sold under its value, except it were stolen? Dost thou not know that he who buys a ware, without examining it, erreth? And indeed he is like unto the weaver.’ ‘What is the story of the weaver?’ asked he; and she said, ‘I have heard tell that

​I tell thee this (continued the woman) that thou mayst get thy living by that fashion thou knowest and throughly understandest, lest greed enter into thee and thou lust after what is not of thy competence.’ Quoth he, ‘Not every wise man is saved by his wisdom nor is every fool lost by his folly. I have seen a skilful charmer versed in the ways of serpents, bitten by a snake and killed, and I have known others prevail over serpents, who had no skill in them and no knowledge of their ways.’ And he hearkened not to his wife, but went on buying stolen goods below their value, till he fell under suspicion and perished.

# The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night/The Thief and the Money-Changer

First-level story, told by Shehrzad
THE THIEF AND THE MONEY-CHANGER.
A money-changer, bearing a bag of money, once passed by a company of thieves, and one of the latter said to the others, ‘I know how to steal yonder bag of money.’ ‘How wilt thou do it?’ asked they. ‘Look,’ answered he and followed the money-changer, till he entered his house, when he threw the bag on a shelf and went into the draught-house, to do an occasion, calling to the slave-girl to bring him an ewer of water. So she took the jug and followed him to the draught-house, leaving the door open, whereupon the thief entered and taking the bag of money, made off with it to his companions, to whom he related what had passed. Night cccxlv.‘By Allah,’ said they, ‘this was a clever trick! It is not every one could do it: but, presently, the money-changer will come out of the draught-house and missing the bag of money, will beat the slave-girl and torture her grievously. Meseems thou hast at present done nothing worthy of praise; but, if thou be indeed a sharper, thou wilt return and save the girl from being beaten.’ ‘If it be the will of God,’ answered the thief, ‘I will save both the girl and the purse.’
Then he went back to the money-changer’s house and found him beating the girl, because of the bag of money; so he knocked at the door and the man said, ‘Who is there?’ Quoth the thief, ‘I am the servant of thy ​neighbour in the bazaar.’ So he came out to him and said, ‘What is thy business?’ ‘My master salutes thee,’ replied the thief, ‘and says to thee, “Surely, thou art mad to cast the like of this bag of money down at the door of thy shop and go away and leave it! Had a stranger chanced on it, he had made off with it.” And except my master had seen it and taken care of it, it had been lost to thee.’ So saying, he pulled out the purse and showed it to the money-changer, who said, ‘That is indeed my purse,’ and put out his hand to take it; but the thief said, ‘By Allah, I will not give it thee, till thou write me a receipt; for I fear my master will not believe that thou hast duly received the purse, except I bring him a writing to that effect, under thy hand and seal.’ So the money-changer went in to write the receipt; but, in the meantime, the thief made off with the bag of money, having [thus] saved the slave-girl her beating.

# The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night/The Three Unfortunate Lovers

First-level story, told by Shehrzad (in theory)
THE THREE UNFORTUNATE LOVERS.
(Quoth El Utbi), I was sitting one day with a company of men of culture, telling stories of the folk, when the talk turned upon anecdotes of lovers and each of us said his say thereon. Now there was in our company an old man, who remained silent, till we had all spoken and had no more to say, when he said, “Shall I tell you a thing, the like of which you never heard?” “Yes,” answered we; and he said, “Know, then, that I had a daughter, who loved a youth, but we knew it not. The youth in question loved a singing-girl, who, in her turn, was enamoured of my daughter. One day, I was present at an assembly, Night ccccx.where were also the young man and the girl; when the latter sang the following verses:
Tears are the token by which, for love, Abjection in lovers still is shown, And more by token in one who finds No friend, to whom he may make his moan.
‘By Allah, thou hast said well, O my lady!’ exclaimed the youth. ‘Dost thou bid me die?’ ‘Yes,’ answered the girl from behind the curtain, ‘if thou be in love.’ So he laid his head on a cushion and closed his eyes; and when the cup came round to him, we shook him and ​found that he was dead. Therewith we all flocked to him, and our joy was troubled and we grieved and broke up forthright. When I came home, my people taxed me with returning before the appointed time, and I told them what had befallen the youth, thinking to surprise them. My daughter heard my words and rising, went into another chamber, whither I followed her and found her lying, with her head on a cushion, as I had told of the young man. I shook her and behold, she was dead. So we laid her out and set forth next morning with her funeral, whilst the friends of the young man carried him out, likewise, to bury him. As we were on the way to the burial-place, we met a third funeral and enquiring whose it was, were told that it was that of the singing-girl, who, hearing of my daughter’s death, had done even as she and was dead. So we buried them all three on one day, and this is the rarest story that ever was heard of lovers.”

Plants growing in mountainous situations, where they are constantly exposed to strong-blowing winds, are always dwarfish; in such situations, the present plant has no stalk, whence its name acaulis, but cultivated in gardens it acquires one.
Most of the plants of this family are beautiful, and, cultivated in gardens, in brilliancy of colour none exceed the present species.
As most Alpine plants do, this loves a pure air, an elevated situation, and a loamy soil, moderately moist; it is however somewhat capricious, thriving without the least care in some gardens, and not succeeding in others; at any rate it will not prosper very near London.
It flowers usually in May, and sometimes in the autumn.
Is propagated by parting its roots at the close of summer; but Miller says, the strongest and best plants are produced from seed.
