* shall come.
   Herodotus informs us, that ever since the reign of Deioces,
   king of Media, for the security of the king's person, it was
   enacted that no one should be admitted into his presence; but
   that if any one had business with him, he should transact it
   through the medium of his ministers.

 * the golden sceptre.
   That the kings of Persia carried a golden sceptre, we have the
   following proof in Xenophon:  [Hoti ou tode to chrysoun
   skeptron to men basileian diasozon estin, all hoi pistoi
   philoi skeptron basileusin alethestaton kai asphalestaton.]
   "It is not (said Cyrus to his son Cambyses) the golden sceptre
   that saves the kingdom; but faithful friends are the truest
   and best sceptre of the kingdom."

 * but I.
