71.26

"When she sees him from afar, she dismounts, / and if she does not do so, her head dismounts."
And the water of the brook of his youth shall always be protected and secure from the taint of the turbidity of old age; the bough of
his youth shall not be broken or stripped of fruit and foliage by the onslaught of the autumn of old age; the arrow of his stature shall not become bow-like by taking on the attribute of
curvature; his cypress-like height shall remain clothed, like the crown of the head, in the robe of rectitude and, like it, continuously
flourishing; in the manner of the king of the planets, he shall conquer the east and west of the world with the sun of his sword; and through victory and
triumph he shall rise above crown-bearers seated on sky-like thrones; and across the mind of whomever passes a thought contrary to the execution of
his command, without the mediation of a sword-strike his head shall advance forward and be severed; and into the head of whichever leader the wind of
rebellion against his firm command finds a way, he shall be humbled in the dust along the path, and become trampled and headless before the people of the world.
