'O Alroy! she exclaimed, 'I have no creed, no country, no life, but thee! 'The king is late to-day. 'Is it true, Asriel, there is an express from Hamadan? 'Of no moment, Ithamar. I have private letters from Abner. All is quiet. ''Tis much past the hour. When do you depart, Scherirah? 'The troops are ready. I wait orders. This morning's council will perchance decide.
He who has enough of the milk of human kindness to spare a thing like Scherirah, when he stands in his way, may well be credited for the nobler mercy that spared his better. 'Ah me! there's madness in the thought. Why is he not here? Had I but followed; tush! tush! Go see the Queen, and tell her all that has happened. I'll to Scherirah. The Caliph returned.
Confident now that the day was won, he announced the exhilarating intelligence to his soldiers; and, while they were excited by the animating tidings, led them once more to the charge. It was irresistible; Scherirah seemed to have arrived only for the pursuit, only in time to complete the victory.
We'll beat them yet. Courage, dear brother. Scherirah will be here at dawn in good time, very good time: very, very good time. 'I like the thought' 'The men are in good heart. At break of dawn, charge with thirty thousand cavalry upon their forming ranks. I'll take the right, Asriel the left. It shall be a family affair, dear Abner. How is Miriam? 'I heard this morn, quite well.
She sends you her love and prayers. The Queen is here? 'She came this eve. Quite well. 'She must excuse all courtesy. 'Say nothing. She is a soldier's wife. She loves thee well, dear Abner. 'I know that. I hope my sword may guard her children's throne. 'Well, give thy orders. Instant battle, eh? 'Indeed I think so. 'I'll send couriers to hurry Scherirah. All looks well. Reserve the guard.
There is none such among us: then stay, and free your country! 'We are prepared, great Jabaster; we are prepared, all, all! 'I know it; you are like myself. Necessity hath taught decision. Now for our plans. Speak, Zalmunna. 'Noble Jabaster, I see much difficulty. Alroy no longer quits his palace. Our entrance unwatched is, you well know, impossible. What say you, Scherirah?
'Thy pardon, brave Scherirah; in these moments my friends will pardon lapse of courtesy. 'Your Highness is too considerate. 'You see, Scherirah, how the wind blows, brave heart. There's much to do, no doubt. I am in sad want of some right trusty friend, on whose devoted bosom I can pillow all my necessities.
The conduct of Scherirah was not too curiously criticised; a commission was appointed to enquire into the mysterious affair; and Alroy retired to the bath to refresh himself after the fatigues of the victory which he could not consider a triumph. As he reposed upon his couch, melancholy and exhausted, Schirene was announced. The Princess threw herself upon his neck and covered him with embraces.
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.
Think you it wants three hours to dawn? 'About three hours, my lord. 'Well! at the second watch, remember; good night. 'It is the second watch, my lord. 'So soon! Have I slept? I feel fresh as an eagle. Call Scherirah, boy. ''Tis strange I never dream now. Before my flight my sleep was ever troubled. Say what they like, man is made for action.
