BLESSED MONARCH'S MARTYRDOM TO THE EXALTED HEARING OP
THE TRIUMPHANT SOVEREIGN; AND THE MARCH OF THE IMPE
RIAL RETINUE FROM FARS TO IRAK.
When the melancholy fate of his incomparable
uncle was communicated to the devoted attendants
of the court of exalted splendor at Shiraz the seat
of learning, and made known to the blessed mind of
the sovereign favoured by Heaven, he became grieved
and troubled : but, as this conjuncture presented the
opportunity of ascending the pinnacle of the Celestial
Throne, not a season for attending to the ceremo
nials of mourning, on this account the eagle-banner
with conquering talons commenced his flight from
regions resembling Paradise, to Teheran, the seat of
empire. From the proposed march of the new sove
reign to his new throne, the fainting hearts obtained
repose. Although Husain Kuly Khan had admitted
wicked projects into his heart, yet as, apparently,
his hand had become powerless, and his feet unable
to move, he of necessity turned to the protection of
the mighty sovereign whose heart was the ocean of
mercy, and had the honour of kissing his carpet
outside of Teheran.
