King Darius says:
These are the countries which are subject to me;
by the grace of Ahuramazda they became subject to me;
they brought tribute unto me.
Within these lands,
whosoever was a friend,
him have I surely protected;
whosoever was hostile,
him have I utterly destroyed.

It's from the Behistun Inscriptions form Kermanshah.
The inscriptions were made not long after Darius' coronation. He used to justify his rule through these verses inscribed on rocks in different parts of his empire.

>this how it is meant to be spoken?
Not exactly. It can be recreated as music as has been done but obviously it was a ballad sort of.
