When the Belov'd of Royal Augury Was rescued from the Bondage of Absál, Then he arose, and shaking off the Dust Of that lost Travel, girded up his Heart, And look'd with undefiléd Robe to Heaven. Then was His Head worthy to wear the Crown, His Foot to mount the Throne. And then The Shah Summon'd the Chiefs of Cities and of States, Summon'd the Absolute Ones who wore the Ring, And such a Banquet order'd as is not For Sovereign Assemblement the like In the Folding of the Records of the World. No arméd Host, nor Captain of a Host, From all the Quarters of the World, but there; Of whom not one but to Salámán did Obeisance, and lifted up his Neck To yoke it under his Supremacy. Then The Shah crown'd him with the Golden Crown, And set the Golden Throne beneath his Feet. And over all the Heads of the Assembly, And in the Ears of all of them, his Jewels With the Diamond of Wisdom cut and said:— XXVIII. "My Son, the Kingdom of The World is not Eternal, nor the Sum of right Desire; Make thou the Faith-preserving Intellect Thy Counsellor; and considering To-day To-morrow's Seed-field, ere That come to bear, Sow with the Harvest of Eternity. All Work with Wisdom hath to do—by that Stampt current only; what Thyself to do Art wise, that _Do_; what not, consult the Wise, Turn not thy Face away from the old Ways, That were the Canon of the Kings of Old; Nor cloud with Tyranny the Glass of Justice; But rather strive that all Confusion Change by thy Justice to its opposite. In whatsoever Thou shalt Take or Give Look to the _How_; Giving and Taking still, Not by the backward Counsel of the Godless, But by the Law of Faith increase and Give. Drain not thy People's purse—the Tyranny Which Thee enriches at thy Subjects' cost, Awhile shall make Thee strong; but in the End Shall bow thy Neck beneath a Double Burden. The Tyrant goes to Hell—follow not Him—
