Captain Joseph Hay of Edinburgh, Scotland, always wore a long veil in public so he could ogle passing ladies without arousing the indignation of their escorts. Her name was Shakh-e Nabat, its meaning, a piece of sugar. She was so enchanting that she inflamed the hearts of two of the most prominent men of her age. One was Suja, king of the Persian province of Fars, and the other a local boy of her native Shiraz, whose name was Hafiz. He was one of Persia's immortal poets, a master of lyricism and glowing imagery. She jilted her king and married the poet, but she did not live happily ever after. The poet was a brute who mistreated her, causing her early death. Believe It or Not!
