at the royal encampment, was ushered into a tent
where he reposed moment, while his arrival was
eDnounced to the Mahometan successor Of Varius

his ears were assaed by the sound Of repeated
heavy blows, mingled with the most piteous cries

prohtnd that a grand public execution was the
cause Of these di.trcsslng sounds, when he was
