DYNASTY OF THE KAJARS,
" terin^ swords on both sides shone like lightnings
" darting from the clouds, while the flashing ot the
" javelins and poniards blazed like mountain bea-
" cons. At last, the Othman troops proved victo-
" rious over the Russians, and their magnetic
" swords and spears irresistibly attracted to their
" points the spirits of their gross-minded foes. Those
" who escaped the sword fled in disorder from the
" bastions and curtains of the place; and the Oth-
" man troops, sallying forth from the castle, eagerly
" pursued the fugitives, and coloured the surface
" of the earth with their blood. The battle con-
" tinned between them until the golden-winged
" Simurgh of the skies deposited in her western
" nest the golden solar egg, and the raven of night
" expanded her dusky wings over the whole hori-
" zon: then Godovitch and his army at once
" took to a general flight; his strong and solid
" rampart was breached by the prowess and cou-
" rage of the Othmans; and his army, disordered
""and dispersed, returned to Teflis. The Othmans,
on this occasion, bore away on lances 350 heads,
" took many prisoners and much spoil, besides five
" pieces of cannon and six artillery waggons."
Welsh, told the judge the interpreter had not given a literal
translation of the witness's evidence. The interpreter was oblige
to acknowledge he had not; for the words he had translated ' earl)
in the morning' were literally, in English, ' under the chaste eye 0
morning.' "
