[FN#442] Cf.  Seneca on Anger, Ch. xi.  “Such a man,” we cry, “has done me a shrewd turn, and I never did him any hurt!  Well, but it may be I have mischieved other people.”

Payne translates it: 
If thou demand fair play of Fate, therein thou dost it wrong;
and blame
   it not, for ’twas not made, indeed, for equity. 
Take what lies ready to thy hand and lay concern aside, for troubled
   days and days of peace in life must surely be.

[FN#446] Payne has—­ “Where are not the old Chosroes, tyrants of a bygone day?  Wealth they gathered, but their treasures and themselves have passed away.”  Vol. i., p. 359.

[FN#463] The reader may like to compare some other passages.  Thus the lines “Visit thy lover,” etc. in Night 22, occur also in Night 312.  In the first instance Burton gives his own rendering, in the second Payne’s.  See also Burton’s A. N., viii., 262 (Lib.  Ed., vi., 407); viii., 282 (Lib.  Ed., vii., 18); viii., 314 (Lib.  Ed., vii., 47); viii., 326 (Lib.  Ed., vii., 59); and many other places.

[FN#464] Thus in the story of Ibrahim and Jamilah [Night 958], Burton takes 400 words—­that is nearly a page—­verbatim, and without any acknowledgement.  It is the same, or thereabouts, every page you turn to.
