   In the East, there is an ancient tradition, that there was a
   Cup which possessed the strange property of representing in
   it the whole world, and all the things which were then doing.
   The cup is called {Jami Jemsheed,} "the cup of Jemsheed," a
   very ancient king of Persia; and they say that it was
   discovered, filled with the elixir of immortality, when
   digging to lay the foundations of Persepolis.  The Persian
   poets are full of allusions to this cup, which they style
   {Jem jehan nima,} the cup shewing the universe; and to it
   they ascribe all the prosperity of their ancient monarchs.
   Many of the Mahometan princes and governors affect still to
   have information by means of a cup.  Now, though it cannot be
   admitted that Joseph practised divination, yet, according to
   the superstition of those times, supernatural influence might
   be attributed to HIS CUP.
