curtains; they got possession oi the tort, and exer
cised the hand ot spoil and rapine : but the piince,
however, was able to restrain his army from a general
plunder. Nadir Mirza, in this great change of con
dition,had proceeded in his flight the distance of four
farsangs from Meshed, and had dismounted at the
encampment of one of the country tribes, when a
number of the inhabitants of the desert seized and
brought him to the prince (Muhammed Waly)s
presence. Through the excess of his misfortune,
tears flowed from his eyes: and it so happened
that, at the same moment, the bird of the soul of
the most learned of men, in consequence of the
deadly blows it had received, winged its way to the
garden of Paradise. His funeral ceremonies were
performed, and his remains deposited near those of
the venerable Imaum : he had lived in the odour of
sanctity and holiness near seventy years. The
prince having in the mean time arrested Nadir
Mirza's brothers and sons, sent them in chains and
fetters to the court of the peerless sovereign. His
imperial majesty brought Nadir Mirza to the court
of reproach and castigation, and in person interro
gated him. Nadir denied having put the venerable
sage to death; and asserted that the wounds he
had received were inflicted accidentally, in the
tumult and confusion. On the clear proof of that
sin, he added a lie to his other crimes: he received
due punishment: his brothers also partook of the
same bitter draught; and most of his sons being
deprived of the ornament of vision, were consigned
to the seclusion of disgrace and humiliation.
