The Young King of the Black Isles (14) [Story of the Black Isles]
The Young King of the Black Isles (14)
" The fishes of four colours in the waters are the four kinds of inhabitants, of different religions, which the city contained. The white are the Mussulmans ; the red, the Persians, who worship fire ; the blue, the Christians ; and the yellow, the Jews.
The four little hills were the four islands that gave name to this Kingdom. I learned all this from the enchantress, who, to add to my affliction, related to me these effects of her rage.
But this is not all ; her revenge not being satisfied with the destruction of my dominions, and the metamorphosis of my person, she comes every day, and gives me over my naked shoulders a hundred lashes with a whip until I am covered with blood.
When she has finished this part of my punishmentm she throws over me a coarse stuff of goat's hair, and over that this robe of brocade, not to honour, but to mock me. "
