DYNASTY OF THE KAJARS.
(51
to Husain Kuly Khan admonitory epistles and mes
sages, both exhorting him to friendship, and direct
ing him to submit and obey his brother; but he
never swerved from the paths of folly. The effects
of this folly brought affliction on the queen's pure
soul: her royal carriage* was ordered to be loaded
upon the backs of the antelope-footed, elk-like
mules; and she seated herself in it, like the sun
\eiled by clouds. An interview took place, by
night, at the station ot Kaleh Siyah, where she
poured over his dress the roses of counsel, and
mournfully suspended herself to his skirts (i .e. ear
nestly entreated him) to desist; but her admoni
tions and her prayers were of no avail, for, in
reply, he repeated this saying of Saadi:
" Cease to advise me!
" The Negro cannot be washed white."
After this, the great and orthodox queen, despairing
of the effect of unavailing counsel and of Husain
Kuly Khan s prosperity, turned her face towards the
camp of the victorious sovereign ; hoping, perhaps,
that mercy might be extended on the side of his ma
jesty, so that the ties of love should not be cut
asunder by the sword of aversion and hostility. She
well knew the liberality of his majesty's soul, the
pureness of his heart, his universal forgiveness, and
great prudence; therefore this voluntary recluse
behind the curtain of chastity, this noble and de-
^ 0 ted matron, once more directed the royal litter
t() be fastened upon her deer-paced mules, and in
* Taktravan, or Litter.
