"The kingª criedª° aloudª to bring²° in¹ the astrologers,ª the Chaldeans,ª and the soothsayers.ª° [And] the kingª spake,ª° and saidª° to the wiseª [men] of Babylon,ª Whosoeverªª¹ shall readª° thisª writing,ª and shewª° me the interpretationª thereof, shall be clothedª° with scarlet,ª and [have] a chainª of¹ goldª aboutª his neck,ª and shall be the third² rulerª°¹ in the kingdom.ª ...
