Those are the works of divinities, not men, and happy is the ruler who when he looks can discover divine thought in earthly objects and present it in a form pleasing to future generations." "But such a ruler must have power, much wealth, and not depend on the fancies of priests," interrupted Ramses. Before them extended a second sandy elevation, on which at that moment appeared some horsemen.
"I am not the leader, I am only a judge," replied the minister, quietly. "But what can Patrokles be doing?" "Patrokles is bringing up the military engines with his Greek regiment." "But my relative and adjutant, Tutmosis?" "He is sleeping yet, I suppose." Ramses stamped impatiently, and was silent. He was a beautiful youth, with a face almost feminine, to which anger and sunburn added charm.
"I guarantee," answered Mentezufis, "that everything will be done which is needed, and should this earthly life ever be unpleasant to thee Thou wilt find them happy in the other." On hearing this Ramses was greatly affected.
We gather from the latter that his armies had followed the roads already traversed by Ramses II., had marched through the south of Palestine into Moab, and had made their way along the sea-coast into Northern Syria. A second list gives us the line of march along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
"Can the words of Ramses the Great apply to the daughter of a poor tenant?" asked the prince. "Besides, where are the Jews? Three centuries ago they left Egypt, and today they form a little state, ridiculous and priest-governed." "I see," answered the worthy lady, frowning slightly, "that thy mistress is not losing time.
The road descended again to the fertile region, where on fields and among bushes continuous ranks of people were working, a rosy gleam was falling on the desert, and the mountain summits were in a blaze of sunlight. Ramses halted and turned his horse.
But to find such a sum today!" Ramses XIII was astounded. "How is this?" inquired he. "Then have the Phoenicians no money for me?" "Our blood, our lives, our children we will give thee, holiness. But money where can we find it?
Herhor will be high priest in Thebes very soon, and his daughter is only fourteen years of age." "And would she consent to occupy the place of the Jewess?" asked Ramses, ironically. "Thou shouldst try to have people forget thy present error." "I kiss thy feet, mother, and I go," said the prince, seizing his own head.
She waved her hand and vanished. The prince, as if stunned, did not move from his chair. When after a while he looked through the window, he saw a rich litter which four Nubians bore toward the Nile swiftly. Ramses was not sorry for the departing woman; she astonished, but did not attract him. "Sarah is calmer," thought he, "and more beautiful.
Ramses was coming, and she could not tell what had seized her, delight because that beautiful youth was approaching whom she had seen in the valley, or dread because she would see again a great lord and ruler who made her timid. One Sabbath evening her father came for the first time since she had settled in that villa.
