Essays — Ralph Waldo Emerson

[Footnote 206: In the story of _Abou Hassan_ or _The Sleeper Awakened_ in the _Arabian Nights_ Abou Hassan awakes and finds himself treated in every respect as the Caliph Haroun Al-raschid. Shakespeare has made use of a similar trick in _Taming of the Shrew_, where Christopher Sly is put to bed drunk in the lord's room and on awaking is treated as a lord.]
