Humour through the Ages How Sulaimān the merchant, while at meet with the Shah Tahmāsp, being asked if the egg of the desert quail set before him did mock the nostrils of anticipation with the perfumes of decay, did reply that, on the contrary, a considerable proportion of it did indeed unlock the casket of satisfaction with the golden key of delectability.
