" ' Do not marry again, lest quarrels arise among your children. Build over me also such a beautiful tomb as the world never saw. ' " Shah-Jehan promised both, and then the em- press died.
"'Were I to paint it, you all would weep; Suffice to say, the king's grief was deep. ' " The date of the empress' death was 1040 of the Hig-ree, or about 1630 a. D. During the space of seventeen years Shah-Jehan collected the materials of marble and precious stones wherewith to ...build the tomb. All parts of his dominions were made to contribute towards its magnificence, in the same way as the Jews were laid under tribute in the build- ing of Solomon's Temple.
