ABSTRACT
Master all acknowledged and confessed themselves to be his pupils. He
enjoyed at the court the combined rank of companion and poet, and was
continuously engaged in commemorating in verse the progresses and
campaigns.... finally invested Master with the title of
laureate of his domains, ordaining that every poet and every man gifted with eloquence
dwelling within his territories should submit his compositions first to Master
when the Master had separated the wheat from the chaff, only then would he offer the effusion to the royal presence.’
