Mr. Harmer would render, "and here ({hennah,} or reading
{hinneh,} behold,) the women (wont to sing on public
occasions) shall say," etc.; observing "that these bitter
speeches much better suit the lips of women belonging to the
conquering nation, singing before a captive prince, than of
his own wives and concubines." This he illustrates by the
following extract from Della Valle: When he was at Lar, in
Persia, the king of Ormuz was brought thither in triumph; and
"this poor unfortunate king entered Lar, with his people, in
the morning, music playing, and girls and women singing and
dancing before him, according to the custom of Persia, and the
people flocking together with a prodigious concourse, and
conducting him in a pompous and magnificent manner,
particularly with colours displayed, like what the Messenians
formerly did to Philopoemen, the general of the Athenians,
their prisoner of war, according to the report of Justin."
