It will be remembered that in the usual version of the Arabian Nights, a certain monarch, having reason to believe in the infidelity of his queen, not only had her put to death but vowed by his beard and the Prophet to espouse each night the most beautiful maiden in his dominions, and the next morning to deliver her to the executioner.
