When
a
great
office
is
vacant,
either
by
death
or
disgrace
(which
often
happens),
five
or
six
of
those
candidates
petition
the
emperor
to
entertain
his
majesty
and
the
court
with
a
dance
on
the
rope;
and
whoever
jumps
the
highest,
without
falling,
succeeds
in
the
office.
The replay is still saving.
