The asses be for the king’s household - This is the Eastern method of speaking when any thing is presented to a great man: “This and this is for the slaves of the servants of your majesty,” when at the same time the presents are intended for the sovereign himself, and are so understood. It is a high Eastern compliment: These presents are not worthy of your acceptance; they are only fit for the slaves of your slaves.
