for some time to go down to the seashore and call upon the merman； but he answered him not nor came to him； so； at last； he gave up hope of him and abode； he and the king his fatherinlaw and their families； in the happiest of case and the practice of righteousness； till there came to them the Destroyer of Delights and the Severer of panies and they died all。 And glory be to the ＇Ever＇Living One； who dieth not； whose is the empire of the Seen and the Unseen； who can all things and is gracious to His servants and knoweth all that pertaih to them！
