Let Abidan's troops be all prepared, and at the moment when the flames first ascend, march to the Seraglio gate as if with aid. The affrighted guard will offer no opposition. While the troops secure the portals, you yourselves, Zalmunna, Abidan, and Jabaster, rush to the royal chamber and do the deed.
Spare none, remember Amalek, exclaimed their youthful leader, waving his bloody scimitar. 'They are down; one, two, there goes the third. My javelin has done for him. 'Your horse bleeds freely. Where's Jabaster? 'At the gates; my arm aches with slaughter. The Lord hath delivered them into our hands. Could I but meet their chieftain! 'Turn, bloodhound, he is here, exclaimed Hassan Subah.
'Noble, noble master, I must be brief; for, although, while this javelin rests within my body, I yet may live, the agony is great. Sire, the deed of which I speak doth concern thee. 'Ay! 'I was on guard the day Jabaster died. 'Powers of heaven! I am all ear. Speak on, speak on! 'He died self-strangled, so they say? 'So they ever told me. 'Thou art innocent, thou art innocent!
Now what a glorious man was David Alroy, lord of the mightiest empire in the world, and wedded to the most beautiful princess, surrounded by a prosperous and obedient people, guarded by invincible armies, one on whom Earth showered all its fortune, and Heaven all its favour; and all by the power of his own genius! The Death of Jabaster
All's well, all's well. Say that Jabaster lives. What then? He lives, and may he prove more duteous than before; that's all. 'He lives, he is my prisoner, he awaits his doom. It must be given. 'Yes, yes! 'Shall we pardon? 'My lord will do that which it pleases him. 'Nay, nay, Schirene, I pray thee be more kind. I am most wretched. Speak, what wouldst thou?
He is the pillar of my empire; and holding forth his hand, Alroy placed the high priest on his right. 'Scherirah, you depart this eve. The rough captain bowed in silence. 'What is this? continued Alroy, as Jabaster offered him a scroll. 'Ah! your report. "Order of the Tribes," "Service of the Lévites," "Princes of the People," "Elders of Israel!" The day may come when this may be effected.
Night and day had they laboured, under the direction of Jabaster, to produce this wondrous spectacle. Once more the children of Israel beheld the cherubim. They burst into a triumphant hymn of thanksgiving, and many drew their swords, and cried aloud to be led against the Canaanites. From the mysterious curtains of the tabernacle, Alroy came forward, leading Jabaster. They approached the altar.
My heart is sick even at the very name. Alas! my trials have not yet begun. Jabaster warned me: good, sincere Jabaster! His talisman presses on my frantic heart, and seems to warn me. I am in danger. Braggart to stand here, filling the careless air with idle words, while all is unaccomplished. I grow dull. The young King of Karasmé! Why, what am I compared to this same prince?
The plan of this expedition had been long matured, and the preparations to effect it were considerably advanced. Jabaster had not been idle during the absence of his pupil.
This limit the Prince of the Captivity at length reached, and stood before a stupendous portal, cut out of the solid rock, four hundred feet in height, and supported by clusters of colossal Caryatides. Upon the portal were engraven some Hebrew characters, which upon examination proved to be the same as those upon the talisman of Jabaster.
