14G DYNASTY OF THE KAJARS.
extend clemency to him. The benevolence-diffusing
sovereign arrayed the object of the prince s desire
in the ornament of acceptance ; and the envoy, re
plete with hope, hastened back from the royal
court. Allah Yar Khan, with his wife, children, re
lations, and followers ol the Kalijah tribe, bade
adieu to Sabzawar, and arrived at Teheran, the seat
of empire. He there rubbed the forehead of ex
cuse on the dust of the threshold founded in equity;
and the April shower of royal compassion refreshed
the verdure on the meadow ol his hopes, by par
doning his sins and errors, and by augmenting his
rank and dignity:—
" From that door no supplicant departs in despair."
By the ocean-like hand of his majesty's bounty, he
was exalted by the investiture of Sabzawar along
with the fiefs of Ishtiharad in the district of Kaz-
win, in which were the ancient settlements oi the
Kalijah tribe. Besides this, whatever advantages
and revenue he had forfeited in the course oi his
rebellion and ingratitude, they were, through the
king's unmixed generosity, now doubled :—-
" Though he may be wrath at thy evil deeds,
" When thou retumest, he blots out thy crimes.'
