Dara Threatens His Chiefs

From D4.1, Dara, Son of Darab, Lectures His Chiefs. It illustrates D4.1.3–9:

D4.1.3
He took his royal seat before them all,And thus addressed the proud chiefs in the hall:
D4.1.4
“I want no man who falls into a pit;No head seeks crown or throne from out of it.
D4.1.5
Whoever turns against my high commandShall lose his head beneath my royal hand.
D4.1.6
If in his heart resistance should arise,My sword shall tear that heart before his eyes.
D4.1.7
If others hold their treasure, I disdainTo see them glad while I endure the pain.
D4.1.8
I need no counselor to guide my hand,For I guide hearts and gladden all the land.
D4.1.9
All pleasure, shares, and measures I assign;Greatness and kingship and command are mine.”
