Additions to Esther 4:61-66

61 Come near then, and touch the sceptre.

62 And as she held her peace, he took the golden sceptre, and laid it upon her neck, and kissed her, and said: Why dost thou not speak to me?

63 She answered: I saw thee, my lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was troubled for fear of thy majesty.

64 For thou, my lord, art very admirable, and thy. face is full of graces.

65 And while she was speaking, she fell down again, and was almost in a swoon.

66 But the king was troubled, and all his servants comforted her.
