To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was pleasant and merry, and went back smiling and promising to quiet his men. But as soon as he reached them he fell a-dancing and singing as before. To a third message he returned a fierce and indignant reply that he could not and would not stop his men so long as the el-Behahtha were dancing there and hurling defiance at him, and that I should make them stop and drive them from the mound if I wished his men to be quiet. The el-Behahtha had perpetrated a taunt which enraged him beyond contr...ol. It was: " Matches in his beard who contradicts us, " i. E. , may the beard of him who opposes us be burned, — a most insulting song, in view of the sacredness of the beard. It was evident that something must be done at once; therefore, taking Berdi at his word, I started to go to the el-Behahtha, and called Noorian to go with me and interpret. He realized the danger of such a course much more than I did, as he understood all that the tribesmen were saying to one another, I realized only the danger in which we were in case the dancing developed into fighting, as it seemed likely to do.
