This is my express will and I shall not draw back from it. "But I understand that even were I the most experienced I could not succeed without faithful servants and wise counselors. Therefore I shall ask your advice sometimes on various questions." "To this end we constitute the supreme council near thy throne," remarked Herhor.
The fact is that when Ramses was approaching the ferry, the most worthy Herhor gave orders to rouse the palace servants, and when their lord was crossing the Nile all priests, generals, and civil dignitaries were assembled in the great hall of audience.
And now to the left! to the rear! turn! and march to the boat, may the plague strike you! A soldier of his holiness should drink first of all to the health of the pharaoh and the prosperity of the worthy minister of war, Herhor, may they live through eternity!" "May they live through eternity!" repeated the soldiers. All took their places in the boat, looking gloomy.
Third, a war with Libya on the western boundary was an outlet for the heroic instincts of the viceroy, and might turn his attention from Asiatic questions and the eastern boundary for a long time. His worthiness Herhor and the supreme council had calculated very keenly that some years would pass before the Libyans, trained in petty warfare, would ask for peace with Egypt.
"It is unknown to his worthiness Herhor if this is the case in every district. But this much is certain, that the treasury of the pharaoh, instead of ninety-eight thousand talents annually, has only seventy- four thousand." "Say, worthy father, fifty thousand," interrupted Ramses. "I will explain that too," replied Pentuer.
Hence we will honor our new lord so that he may enjoy health and protect us from ruin." In this way the opposition of dignitaries, very strong some mouths earlier, had grown silent and yielded to boundless obedience. The whole aristocracy, all the priests, fell on their faces before Ramses XIII; Mefres and Herhor alone were unshaken.
Naturally old officers would fall into idleness from anger, because promotion had missed them; the exquisites would be idle for the sake of amusement, and the corps would break up without even meeting an enemy. Oh, Herhor is a sage!" "May his wisdom not cost thee more than the inexperience of Ramses," whispered Patrokles.
"Even were we to give him a pyramid of gold and silver, and another of precious stones, he would do nothing that is a mad stripling whom the Assyrian ambassador, Sargon, never mentioned otherwise than as a frivolous youngster." "The pharaoh has great capabilities." "But he has no knowledge, and no skill," replied Herhor. "He barely visited the high school a little and left it at the earliest.
And know this, Sarah, that if Thou wouldst admit me to confidence I would give thee two talents, and thy father one talent, and, besides, I should be ashamed of giving thee so little, for Thou deservest that the pharaoh himself should fondle thee, and the heir of the throne, and the worthy minister Herhor, and the most valiant Nitager, and the richest bankers of the Phoenicians.
The most worthy high priest was in a golden robe, and wore the cap of Amenhotep with its regal serpent. Herhor looked at the enormous masses of people who surrounded the temple, and bending toward the band of stormers, he said to them, "Whoever ye are, right believers or unbelievers, leave this temple in peace, in the name of the gods I summon you."
