Excerpt from Martin Schuler
Asia, nine peahens. These peahens were in reality nine spellbound damsels of sur passing loveliness. Eight of them were fit brides for the princes of the earth, but the ninth was far lovelier than any queen or princess man has ever imagined. The ninth peahen, who was a queen in her own right, fell in love nevertheless With an ordinary prince, the youngest son of a 'king antiquaries suspect that this prince was Joseph, son of Jacob - and therefore she came every evening to perch in the branches of a golden apple-tree that grew in the garden of his father's palace. This tree blossomed, bore fruit, and yielded it all in the same night. The peahen, by perseverance, decoyed the yeung prince into the garden and, after revealing to him her true nature, disappeared. After many adventures and in spite of the powers of evil, the prince recovered her and they were married. They had several children who became kings and princes.

Excerpt from Martin Schuler
There were in old times, before Europe was divided amongst the children of Asia, nine peahens. These peahens were in reality nine spellbound damsels of surpassing loveliness. Eight of them were fit brides for the princes of the earth, but the ninth was far lovelier than any queen or princess man has ever imagined. The ninth peahen, who was a queen in her own right, fell in love nevertheless with an ordinary prince, the youngest son of a king - antiquaries suspect that this prince was Joseph, son of Jacob - and therefore she came every evening to perch in the branches of a golden apple-tree that grew in the garden of his father's palace. This tree blossomed, bore fruit, and yielded it all in the same night. The peahen, by perseverance, decoyed the young prince into the garden and, after revealing to him her true nature, disappeared. After many adventures and in spite of the powers of evil, the prince recovered her and they were married. They had several children who became kings and princes.
