THE robe, giving ornament to the Preface of Eloquence, is, Praise of the Omniscient; who, having subjected the dominions of expression, by the medium of the sword of speech, to the various nations of mankind, has proclaimed through the regions of the universe the Khootbeh* of supremacy in his own most exalted name. Having endued the sword of the tongue with the keen edge of expression, he entrusted to the grasp of its power the keys of the climates of oratory.

The most excellent production of speech, is laud of the prophet; to adore whose exalted qualities, the Spirit of God* runneth to and fro in the fourth heaven, and Moses, like a turtle-dove, in the garden of his perfections, breathes the melody of rapture and desire. He was the last of divine missionaries, and the seal of prophecy.

Next to the adoration of the Artist without visible instruments, and laud of the Adorner of the chief seat of divine mission, the most acceptable subject is the praise of the shadow of the Most Pure, the Monarch of the present time; the footstool of whose throne, from the numerous kisses of kings, is become indented like the heavens, and the collar of subjection to his power is become fixed like fate on the necks of princes and rulers.

The Fughfoor* of China, and the Khakaun* of Khoten, are gleaners from the harvest of his bounty. His fame resembles the sun, as the impression does the seal. From envy of the fragrance of his liberal nature, the blood chills in the heart of the Nafeh* of Tartary; and from dread of the tempest of his sword, his enemies crouch under the shelter of their armour. From fear of the superintendants of his justice, the wolf has adopted the profession of a shepherd; and thro’ alarm at the tread of his charger, the tiger flies like the flock before the wolf.
