      1  Ahasuerus, reading in the chronicles of the good service
        done by Mordecai, takes care for his reward.
     4  Haman, coming to sue that Mordecai might be hanged, gives
        counsel that he might do him honor.
    12  Complaining of this, his friends tell him of his final
        destiny.

      As chronicles were composed among the Persians, a more

      the king; because they were all written in verse, and were
      generally the work of the most eminent poets of the empire.

      his throne, wear his crown, or hold his sceptre.

      Pitts gives a similar account of the mode of honoring a
      person who turns a Mohammedan, at Algiers:  "The apostate is
      to get on a stately steed, with a rich saddle and fine
      trappings:  he is also richly habited, and has a turban on his
      head, but nothing of this is to be called his own; only there
      are given him about two or three yards of broad cloth, which
      is laid before him on the saddle.  The horse, with him on his
      back, is led all round the city, which he is several hours in
      doing.  The apostate is attended with drums and other music,
      and twenty or thirty serjeants.  They march in order on each
      side of the horse, with naked swords in their hands.  The
      crier goes before, with a loud voice giving thanks to God for
      the proselyte that is made."
