Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, The Story of Almamoulin., sentence 6
My purpose was, after ten months more spent in commerce, to have withdrawn my wealth to a safer country; to have given seven years to delight and festivity, and the remaining part of my days to solitude and repentence; but the hand of death is upon me; I am now leaving the produce of my toil, which it must be thy business to enjoy with wisdom.”—The thought of leaving his wealth, filled Nouradin with such grief, that he fell into convulsions, became delirious, and expired.
