CHAP. VIII.] ROMANCE OF ABOO-ZEYD. 139
Emeer Rizk, begging him to come and endeavour
to deliver them from their humiliating state. Rizk
obeyed the summons. On his way to the territory
of the Zahlan Arabs, he was almost convinced, by
the messenger who had come to conduct him, that
Barakat was his son; but was at a loss to know
why he was called by this name, as he himself had
named him Aboo-Zeyd. Arriving at the place of
his destination, he challenged Barakat. The father
went forth to combat the son: the former not
certain that his opponent was his son; and the
latter having no idea that he was about to lift his
hand against his father; but thinking that his
adversary was his father's murderer. The Emeer
Rizk found occasion to put off the engagement
from day to day: at last, being no longer able to
do this, he suffered it to commence: his son prevailed : he unhorsed him, and would have put him
to death had he not been charged to refrain from
doing this by his mother. The secret of Barakat's
parentage was now divulged to him by the Emeereh
Khadra; and the chiefs of the Benee-Hilal were
compelled to acknowledge him as the legitimate
and worthy son of the Emeer Rizk, and to implore
his pardon for the injuries which he and his mother
had sustained from them. This boon, the Emeer
Aboo-Zeyd Barakat generously granted; and he
thus added to the joy which the Emeer Rizk derived from the recovery of his favourite wife, and
his son.
The subsequent adventures related in the romance
of Aboo-Zeyd are numerous and complicated. The
