                 10. Handmaiden's copulation with the slave and
                 the sultan



                 When that adorer of women threw off (his) trousers and sat
                 between the woman's legs.  When (his) penis went straight
                 toward (her) seat (buttocks), a commotion and outcry arose
                 from the army. He jumped up (and ran) naked of buttocks to
                 the (army) ranks, grasping a fiery (flashing) scimitar in his

                 hand..


                 ...(then) at once he hastened (back) to the tent of the beauty.
                 When he showed himself to the hourí (lovely woman), his
                 (organ of) manhood was erect in the same manner (as
                 before). He joined in battle with such a lion: (yet) his man-
                 hood remained erect and did not rest (go limp). That moon-

                 faced idol, sweet of countenance, was amazed at his manhood.


                 (The Masnavi of Jalalu'ddin  Rumi, Book IV, Couplets 3880-3890,
                 masnavi.net)


                 The Caliph decided on a meeting; he went to that woman for
                 the sake of (sexual) intercourse. He remembered her and got
                 (his) penis erect; he intended to (have) sexual intercourse with
                 (that) love-increaser.



                 The woman saw his softness; from astonishment, she started
                 to burst out laughing: laughter took hold of her. She remem-
                 bered the virility of the (courageous) Captain who killed the
                 lion, with his (male) organ like that. She kept laughing vio-
                 lently like beng-eaters: her laughter overpowered (all consider-
                 ations of) gain or loss.
