Now, of all the things I most desired to encounter, a labyrinth was the
thing. And as I considered about it, it occurred to me that of the world
I had seen enough; in fact, about all there was to be seen, and a great
longing for quiet and rest and the companionship of a loving wife came
over me, and decided the matter.
But in which direction I was to look for the prize, I at once knew not,
for as far as I could see was barren waste and sand.
I climbed to the top of a great palm tree, and gazed about me, but was
no wiser.
So I lay down to rest, fell asleep, and dreamed of the princess and the
troublesome labyrinth until the following day was well along.
