But when, with many tears of pity for her misfortunes,
King Alla told her how he had grieved for her, and how long he had
suffered thus, she was convinced.
Then they embraced each other, and were so happy that no other
happiness, except that of heavenly spirits, could ever equal theirs.
After this, she made herself known to the Emperor, her father, who had
great rejoicing over his long-lost daughter, whom he had thought dead.
For many weeks Rome was full of feasting, and merry-making, and
happiness. These being over, King Alla, with his dear wife, returned
to his kingdom of England, where they lived in great happiness all the
rest of their days.

where the sands glowed red like a fiery sea. And weary were the
riders, exhausted with toil and heat, for they dared not stop to rest.
