Strana 90 - Keeper of the yellow gate, bring us that picture, that we may view it. [Sees the picture.] "Ah, how has he dimmed the purity of the gem, bright as the waves in autumn ! " [To the attendant.'] Transmit our pleasure to the officer of the guard to behead Maouyenshow, and report to us his execution.
