The old King lingered three days after this and was then received into the mercy of God the Most High. They paid him the last offices and buried him and held over him readings and recitations of the Koranto the end of the [customary] forty days. And King Hassanson of the Vizierreigned in his stead,and his subjects rejoiced in him and all his days were gladness.

Moreoverhis father ceased not to be his chief Vizier on his right handand he took to himself another Vizierto be at his left hand. His reign was a prosperous one and he abode long King in Baghdad. God blessed himby the old King's daughter,with three sonswho inherited the kingdom after him;and they abode in the enjoyment of all delight and solace of lifetill there came to them the Destroyer of Delights and the Sunderer of Companies. And glory be to Him who is eternal and in whose hand are annulment and confirmation!
