Then from his Seat of Council arose the King of Arizim. He said: "I fear that thou hast spoken blasphemy against the Sea, and I have a dread that ill will come of it. Indeed I had not thought she was so fair. THEN FROM HIS SEAT OF COUNSEL AROSE THE KING OF ARISON HE SAID I FEAR THAT THOU HAST SPOKEN BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE SEA AND I HAVE A DREAD THAT ILL WILL COME OF IT INDEED I HAD NOT THOUGHT SHE WAS SO FAIR
she was of the age of fifteen years the King of Mondath called a council of kings. And there met with him the kings of Toldees and Arizim. And the King of Mondath in his Council said: "The call of the unappeased and hungry Sea (and at the word 'Sea' the three kings bowed their heads) lures every year out of our happy kingdoms more and more of our men, and still we know not the mystery of the Sea, and no devised oath has brought one man back. Now thy daughter, Arizim, is lovelier than the sunlight, and lovelier than those stately flowers of thine that stand so tall in her garden, and hath more grace and beauty than those strange birds that the venturous fowlers bring in creaking wagons out of Asagéhon, whose feathers are alternate purple and white. Now, he that shall love thy daughter, Hilnaric, whoever he shall be, is the man to climb Poltarnees and return, as none hath ever before, and tell us upon what Poltarnees looks; for it may be that they daughter is more beautiful than the Sea. GHT FROM ASSEGAON WHEN SHE WAS OF THE AGE OF FIFTEEN YEARS THE KING OF MANDATH CALLED A COUNCIL OF KINGS AND THERE MET WITH HIM THE KINGS OF TOLDIES AND ARISUM AND THE KING OF MANDOTH AND HIS COUNCIL SAID THE CALL OF THE UNAPPEASED AND HUNGRY SEA AND AT THE WORD SEA THE THREE KINGS BOWED THEIR HEADS LURES EVERY YEAR OUT OF OUR HAPPY KINGDOMS MORE AND MORE OF OUR MEN AND STILL WE KNOW NOT THE MYSTERY OF THE SEA AND NO DEVISED OATH HAS BROUGHT ONE MAN BACK NOW THY DAUGHTER I REASON IS LOVELIER THAN THE SUNLIGHT AND LOVELIER THAN THOSE STATELY FLOWERS OF THINE THAT STAND SO TALL IN HER GARDEN AND HATH MORE GRACE AND BEAUTY THAN THOSE STRANGE BIRDS THAT THE VENTUROUS FOWLERS BRING IN CREAKING WAGONS OUT OF A SEGAON WHOSE FEATHERS ARE ALTERNATE PURPLE AND WHITE NOW HE THAT SHALL LOVE THY DAUGHTER HILNAREK WHOEVER HE SHALL BE IS THE MAN TO CLIMB POLTARNEY'S AND RETURN AS NONE HATH EVER BEFORE AND TELL US UPON WHAT PULTARNES LOOKS FOR IT MAY BE THAT THY DAUGHTER IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE SEA
