| Zeyn led her to the closet, down the marble stairs, and into the chamber where the urns were. She looked curiously at everything, and in a corner spied a little urn of the same sort of stone as the others. The Prince had not noticed it before, but opening it found within a golden key. "My son," said the queen, "this key certainly belongs to some other treasure, let us search well; perhaps we may discover its purpose." They examined the chamber with the greatest care, and at length found a k eyhole in one of the panels of the wall. Here the key readily opened a door which led into a chamber, in the midst of which were nine pedestals of massy gold. On eight of them stood as many statues, each of them made of a single diamond, and from them darted such a brightness that the whole room was perfectly light. "Oh, heavens!" cried Zeyn, "where could my father find such rarities?" The ninth pedestal surpr ised him most of all, for it was covered with a piece of white satin, on which were written these words. | 济恩领她到私人小室，跨下阶梯，到了安置金缸的房中。 她奇怪地望着各种物品，而在屋角里窥见一个小缸，形式与其它的缸相同。 王子起初未注意到这个，经开缸一看，里面藏着一把钥匙。 「我儿！」王后说：「这把钥匙一定属于其它宝库之门，让我们一起搜寻一下，或许能发现它的用处。」 他们仔细查寻房内，最后在墙上的一个夹板上，发现一个钥匙孔。 在此，钥匙刚好吻合的开了门，门引导入另一室，室内的中央有九个厚实黄金所打造的神座。 其中八座皆安置神像，每一座神像都是单一个钻石制成的。它们发射的光亮，使室内四周通明。 「啊！天呀！」济恩喊道：「我父亲从何处找来这些稀世之宝呢？」 第九个神座令他最为奇怪，因为座上盖着缎子，缎子上写着。 |
