美人計
there was in persia in the fifth century a king called cavades. when he was deposed and imprisoned by his subjects, his queen, who alone remained attached to him, never failed to bring him necessaries with her own hands, though she was not permitted to see him.
one day, the queen noticed that the jailer appeared captivated by her beauty, and she soothed him so far as to be allowed access to her husband. her visits were at length premitted to take place free from observation, and one evening she changed clothes with her husband. thus disguised, cavades stole out of the prison. he fled to the king of the euthalites, by whose assistance he was afterwards restored to his throne and kingdom.
