So finally, after coming to their senses, they went to his tent, without their arms and wearing their tunics only, and with loud cries and lamentations put themselves at his mercy, bidding him deal with them as base and thankless men.

And the men would not desist, but for two days and nights persisted in standing thus before his door, weeping and calling upon their master.
