accomplished because the enemies were discouraged and in a great fear But the Emperour who was then no longer desirous of earthly honours answered with a smiling countenance That he had never questioned the affections that his Soldiers had to promote his glory but that he knew himself called by a greater Lord than himself to a happyer conquest and to a higher place unto which he was going Tell said he to that Lord Tell Axalla that I desire him for the time to come to obey my Son Then taking from his finger a Ring of a great value he delivered it to him with this order Carry this token of my Love to your General and let him take it as an assurance that I am well satisfied with his services and fidelity He inquired afterwards whether all the Officers that were known to him in his Army were in health and recommended every one of them to his Son according to his quality and deservings Then the Prince of Tanais came again into his mind He desired his Son to love him as his Kinsman and to maintain him in the Offices and Governments which he had given him because he was worthy of them for he assured him that the Prince would be faithful to him Then with a louder voice than before he told Sentrochio That if ever he had a●●y reason to be absent from his Army in times of War he should not trust it in any other persons hands but Azalla But he advised him to command it himself as often as he could for it was dangerous to trust it in other hands and it was the duty of the Parthian Emperours to dwell with their Souldiers in the Army as a Father amongst his Children He told him by the practice of this lesson he should be able to keep the great Empire that he left him and render himself by his vertue worthy to succeed him At last he advised him to be mild courteous to his friends dreadful to his enemies but when they shall sue for Peace refuse them not forgive your private wrongs but punish severely the wickedness committed against the state of your Subjects All this while the young Prince wept bitterly but Tamerlan when he held this discourse had a greater Majesty and beauty upon his countenance than ordinary He sent away afterwards his Son to the Empress his Mother to endeavour to comfort her by his presence When the young Prince was gone he called for Odmar and recommended to his care his young Son intreating him to Love him and to be faithful to him He told him also that it was his will that his second Son should be brought up and taught to obey his Elder Brother I know for certain that the peace and preservation of this Empire depends upon the Vnion and Love of the Brethren He sent for them both a while after to give them his last blessing when they were before him he commanded the youngest to be obedient to his elder Brother and both he commanded to honour the Empress their Mother when he gave them his blessing it was observed that he touch'd the head of Sentrochio and put it down lower with his hand but he lifted up the head of the younger by hea●●ing up his chin This was look'd upon as a presage that Letrochio the youngest should rise to the Empire and overthrow the power of his brother as it happened afterwards when they quarrelled by their variance they ruined the Empire of Tamerlan The Emperour passed the next night very quietly about break of day according to his custome he called for those persons who had any business with him The Letters that were to be sent to Axalla concerning the victories that he had got were brought to him which he signed without pain or without discovering any alteration in his countenance But a few minutes after when sleep began to cease upon his senses they that were about him perceived that his soul was departing to another world They sent to call for the young Emperour who came in good time to close his eye lids shedding a fountain of tears as well as the rest of his Servants Two hours after Sentrochio was proclamed Emperour and Letters were dispatched to all the Governours of the Provinces signed with his hand After this the Army was called together by his orders to the Souldiers he gave mony and great gifts to his Fathers old Servants entertaining them with a speech But would not offer to change any thing in the Army till he had seen Prince Axalla and bin with the Imperial Army When this young Prince came to be Emperour he was not above nineteen years of age He was beautiful and much like his Father Every one judged that he would be able with the assistance of his wise Consellours to maintain with Honour his large Empire But the too great affection of the Empress for Letrochio caused a jealousie in the eldest Brother which set them at a distance and divided them and the Empire In this particular They became like their fore-fathers and imitated their follies for they ruined by the divisions and hatred of Brothers the Empire of their predecessors which Tamerlan had recovered and raised up by his vertue and courage and render'd the most glorious and most flourishing Empire of the world FINIS
