'Sire, at length exclaimed the high priest, in a low and tremulous voice, 'I must pray your pardon that for an instant in this character I have indulged in any other thoughts than those that may concern your welfare. Tis past: and you, who know all, will forgive me. 'All that respects Jabaster must concern my welfare.
The Sultan of Roum, posted in an extremely advantageous position, and commanding troops accustomed to the discipline of the Romans of Constantinople, received the onset of Jabaster without yielding, and not only repelled his attack, but finally made a charge which completely disordered and dispersed the column of the Hebrews.
'Is it impossible to gain his presence to some sacrifice in honour of some by-gone victory; what think ye? 'I doubt much, Jabaster. At this moment he little wishes to sanction our national ceremonies with his royal person. The woman assuredly will stay him. And, even if he come, success is difficult, and therefore doubtful.
While Alroy dictated peace on his own terms in the palaces of Nishapur, Abner, having reduced Louristan, crossed the mountains, and entered Persia with the reinforcements he had received from Jabaster.
How seem the stars, Jabaster? 'Very troubled; so have they been some days. What they portend I know not. 'Health to Israel. 'Let us hope so. Good night, sweet friends. 'Good night, holy Jabaster. Thou art our cornerstone. 'Israel hath no other hope but in Jabaster. 'My Lord, said Abidan, 'remain, I pray, one moment. 'What is't? I fain would go.
But this Abidan and the company with whom he consorts are filled with high-flown notions, caught from old traditions, which, if acted on, would render government impracticable; in a word, they are dangerous men. 'The very flower of Israel! Some one has poisoned your sacred ear against them. 'No one, worthy Jabaster. I have no counsellor except yourself.
The Cabalist started up, seized him, and held him in his careful grasp, foaming and in convulsions. 'Jabaster, Jabaster! 'I am here, my child. 'The Lord hath spoken. 'The Lord is our refuge. Calm thyself, son of David, and tell me all. 'I have been sleeping, master; is it not so? 'Even so, my child.
Leaving the army within a day's march of the capital, Alroy, accompanied only by his staff, entered Hamadan in the evening, and, immediately repairing to the citadel, summoned Jabaster to council. The night was passed by the king and the high priest in deep consultation.
There it is. Is't sweet? Shalt have another, and another too. I've got the ring! Farewell, my lovely bird, I'll soon return to pillow in thy nest. 'She has got the ring! What's this? what's this? Schirene! art gone? Nay, surely not. She jests. Jabaster! A traitor's head! What ho! there. Pharez, Pharez! 'My lord. 'Passed the Queen that way? 'She did, my lord. 'In tears? 'Nay! very joyful!
I have passed the great ordeal; the Lord of Hosts hath found me not unworthy of His charge; I have established His ancient people; His altars blaze with sacrifices; His priests are honoured, bear witness thou, Jabaster, His omnipotent unity is declared. What wouldst thou more? 'All! 'Then Moses knew you well. It is a stiff-necked people. 'Sire, bear with me. If I speak in heat, I speak in zeal.
