A cry of 'The Caliph! the Caliph! announced the arrival of Alroy, and produced a degree of comparative silence. 'Where is the captain of the guard? he exclaimed. 'That's well. Open the gates to none. Who will leap the wall and bear a message to Asriel? You? That's well too. To-morrow you shall yourself command. Where's Mesrour?
Alroy and Asriel led on their divisions, and the battle now became general. It raged for several hours, and was on both sides well maintained. The slaughter of the Karasmians was great, but their stern character and superior numbers counterbalanced for a time all the impetuosity of the Hebrews and all the energy of their leaders. This day Alroy threw into the shade all his former exploits.
If an escort to any country, if any palace or province for her rule and residence But I will not offer to one who should command. Lady! farewell. Pardon the past! Tomorrow, good Honain! prythee let us meet. Good even! 'The royal brow was clouded, said Ithamar to Asriel, as, departing from the council, they entered their magnificent barque.
Rise, Rachel, from thy wilderness, arise, and weep no more. No more thy lonely palm-tree's shade need shroud thy secret sorrowing. The Lord hath heard the widow's sigh, the Lord hath stilled the widow's tear. Be comforted, be comforted, thy children live again! Yes! yes! upon the bounding plain fleet Asriel glances like a star, and stout Scherirah shakes his spear by stern Jabaster's scimitar.
Take the eunuch guard and the company of gardeners,76 and suppress the flames at all cost. Pull down the intervening buildings. Abidan's troop arrived with succour, eh! I doubt it not. I expected them. Open to none. They force an entrance, eh! I thought so. So that javelin has killed a traitor. Feed me with arms. I'll keep the gate. Send again to Asriel. Where's Pharez? 'By your side, my lord.
Who says they are making fires before them? Tis true. We must sally, if the worst come to the worst, and die at least like soldiers. O Asriel! Asriel! 'May it please your Highness, the troops are pouring in from all quarters. ''Tis Asriel. 'No, your Highness, 'tis not the guard. Methinks they are Scherirah's men. 'Hum! What it all is, I know not; but very foul play I do not doubt.
There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
I can support myself, he needs thy counsel. Bid him not expose his precious life. The wicked men! Asriel must soon be here. What sayest thou? 'There is no fear. Their plans are ill-devised. I have long expected this stormy night, and feel even now more anxious than alarmed. ''Tis at me they aim; it is I whom they hate. The High Priest, too! Ay, ay!
The Sacred Guard was commanded by Asriel, the brother of Abner. The army was formed into three divisions. All marched in solemn order before the throne of Alroy, raised upon the ramparts, and drooped their standards and lances as they passed their heroic leader. Bostenay, and Miriam, and the whole population of the city witnessed the inspiring spectacle from the walls.
Were he in council he would support Jabaster. 'Oh! his mere tool. What think you of Scherirah? 'I would not trust him. As long as there is fighting, he will meddle with nothing else; but, mark my words, Ithamar: in quiet times he will support the priest. 'Medad will have a place in council. He is with us. 'Heart and soul. I would your brother were here, Asriel: he alone could balance Jabaster.
