I
had
been
for
some
hours
extremely
pressed
by
the
necessities
of
nature
;
which
was
no
wonder
,
it
being
almost
two
days
since
I
had
last
disburdened
myself
.
I
was
under
great
difficulties
between
urgency
and
shame
.
The
best
expedient
I
could
think
of
,
was
to
creep
into
my
house
,
which
I
accordingly
did
;
and
shutting
the
gate
after
me
,
I
went
as
far
as
the
length
of
my
chain
would
suffer
,
and
discharged
my
body
of
that
uneasy
load
.
But
this
was
the
only
time
I
was
ever
guilty
of
so
uncleanly
an
action
;
for
which
I
can
not
but
hope
the
candid
reader
will
give
some
allowance
,
after
he
has
maturely
and
impartially
considered
my
case
,
and
the
distress
I
was
in
.
From
this
time
my
constant
practice
was
,
as
soon
as
I
rose
,
to
perform
that
business
in
open
air
,
at
the
full
extent
of
my
chain
;
and
due
care
was
taken
every
morning
before
company
came
,
that
the
offensive
matter
should
be
carried
off
in
wheel-barrows
,
by
two
servants
appointed
for
that
purpose
.
I
would
not
have
dwelt
so
long
upon
a
circumstance
that
,
perhaps
,
at
first
sight
,
may
appear
not
very
momentous
,
if
I
had
not
thought
it
necessary
to
justify
my
character
,
in
point
of
cleanliness
,
to
the
world
;
which
,
I
am
told
,
some
of
my
maligners
have
been
pleased
,
upon
this
and
other
occasions
,
to
call
in
question
.
When
this
adventure
was
at
an
end
,
I
came
back
out
of
my
house
,
having
occasion
for
fresh
air
.
The
emperor
was
already
descended
from
the
tower
,
and
advancing
on
horseback
towards
me
,
which
had
like
to
have
cost
him
dear
;
for
the
beast
,
though
very
well
trained
,
yet
wholly
unused
to
such
a
sight
,
which
appeared
as
if
a
mountain
moved
before
him
,
reared
up
on
its
hinder
feet
:
but
that
prince
,
who
is
an
excellent
horseman
,
kept
his
seat
,
till
his
attendants
ran
in
,
and
held
the
bridle
,
while
his
majesty
had
time
to
dismount
.
When
he
alighted
,
he
surveyed
me
round
with
great
admiration
;
but
kept
beyond
the
length
of
my
chain
.
He
ordered
his
cooks
and
butlers
,
who
were
already
prepared
,
to
give
me
victuals
and
drink
,
which
they
pushed
forward
in
a
sort
of
vehicles
upon
wheels
,
till
I
could
reach
them
.
I
took
these
vehicles
and
soon
emptied
them
all
;
twenty
of
them
were
filled
with
meat
,
and
ten
with
liquor
;
each
of
the
former
afforded
me
two
or
three
good
mouthfuls
;
and
I
emptied
the
liquor
of
ten
vessels
,
which
was
contained
in
earthen
vials
,
into
one
vehicle
,
drinking
it
off
at
a
draught
;
and
so
I
did
with
the
rest
.
The
empress
,
and
young
princes
of
the
blood
of
both
sexes
,
attended
by
many
ladies
,
sat
at
some
distance
in
their
chairs
;
but
upon
the
accident
that
happened
to
the
emperor
's
horse
,
they
alighted
,
and
came
near
his
person
,
which
I
am
now
going
to
describe
.
He
is
taller
by
almost
the
breadth
of
my
nail
,
than
any
of
his
court
;
which
alone
is
enough
to
strike
an
awe
into
the
beholders
.
His
features
are
strong
and
masculine
,
with
an
Austrian
lip
and
arched
nose
,
his
complexion
olive
,
his
countenance
erect
,
his
body
and
limbs
well
proportioned
,
all
his
motions
graceful
,
and
his
deportment
majestic
.
He
was
then
past
his
prime
,
being
twenty-eight
years
and
three
quarters
old
,
of
which
he
had
reigned
about
seven
in
great
felicity
,
and
generally
victorious
.
For
the
better
convenience
of
beholding
him
,
I
lay
on
my
side
,
so
that
my
face
was
parallel
to
his
,
and
he
stood
but
three
yards
off
:
however
,
I
have
had
him
since
many
times
in
my
hand
,
and
therefore
can
not
be
deceived
in
the
description
.
His
dress
was
very
plain
and
simple
,
and
the
fashion
of
it
between
the
Asiatic
and
the
European
;
but
he
had
on
his
head
a
light
helmet
of
gold
,
adorned
with
jewels
,
and
a
plume
on
the
crest
.
He
held
his
sword
drawn
in
his
hand
to
defend
himself
,
if
I
should
happen
to
break
loose
;
it
was
almost
three
inches
long
;
the
hilt
and
scabbard
were
gold
enriched
with
diamonds
.
His
voice
was
shrill
,
but
very
clear
and
articulate
;
and
I
could
distinctly
hear
it
when
I
stood
up
.
The
ladies
and
courtiers
were
all
most
magnificently
clad
;
so
that
the
spot
they
stood
upon
seemed
to
resemble
a
petticoat
spread
upon
the
ground
,
embroidered
with
figures
of
gold
and
silver
.
His
imperial
majesty
spoke
often
to
me
,
and
I
returned
answers
:
but
neither
of
us
could
understand
a
syllable
.
There
were
several
of
his
priests
and
lawyers
present
(
as
I
conjectured
by
their
habits
)
)
,
who
were
commanded
to
address
themselves
to
me
;
and
I
spoke
to
them
in
as
many
languages
as
I
had
the
least
smattering
of
,
which
were
High
and
Low
Dutch
,
Latin
,
French
,
Spanish
,
Italian
,
and
Lingua
Franca
,
but
all
to
no
purpose
.
After
about
two
hours
the
court
retired
,
and
I
was
left
with
a
strong
guard
,
to
prevent
the
impertinence
,
and
probably
the
malice
of
the
rabble
,
who
were
very
impatient
to
crowd
about
me
as
near
as
they
durst
;
and
some
of
them
had
the
impudence
to
shoot
their
arrows
at
me
,
as
I
sat
on
the
ground
by
the
door
of
my
house
,
whereof
one
very
narrowly
missed
my
left
eye
.
But
the
colonel
ordered
six
of
the
ringleaders
to
be
seized
,
and
thought
no
punishment
so
proper
as
to
deliver
them
bound
into
my
hands
;
which
some
of
his
soldiers
accordingly
did
,
pushing
them
forward
with
the
butt-ends
of
their
pikes
into
my
reach
.
I
took
them
all
in
my
right
hand
,
put
five
of
them
into
my
coat-pocket
;
and
as
to
the
sixth
,
I
made
a
countenance
as
if
I
would
eat
him
alive
.
The
poor
man
squalled
terribly
,
and
the
colonel
and
his
officers
were
in
much
pain
,
especially
when
they
saw
me
take
out
my
penknife
:
but
I
soon
put
them
out
of
fear
;
for
,
looking
mildly
,
and
immediately
cutting
the
strings
he
was
bound
with
,
I
set
him
gently
on
the
ground
,
and
away
he
ran
.
I
treated
the
rest
in
the
same
manner
,
taking
them
one
by
one
out
of
my
pocket
;
and
I
observed
both
the
soldiers
and
people
were
highly
delighted
at
this
mark
of
my
clemency
,
which
was
represented
very
much
to
my
advantage
at
court
.
Towards
night
I
got
with
some
difficulty
into
my
house
,
where
I
lay
on
the
ground
,
and
continued
to
do
so
about
a
fortnight
;
during
which
time
,
the
emperor
gave
orders
to
have
a
bed
prepared
for
me
.
Six
hundred
beds
of
the
common
measure
were
brought
in
carriages
,
and
worked
up
in
my
house
;
a
hundred
and
fifty
of
their
beds
,
sewn
together
,
made
up
the
breadth
and
length
;
and
these
were
four
double
:
which
,
however
,
kept
me
but
very
indifferently
from
the
hardness
of
the
floor
,
that
was
of
smooth
stone
.
By
the
same
computation
,
they
provided
me
with
sheets
,
blankets
,
and
coverlets
,
tolerable
enough
for
one
who
had
been
so
long
inured
to
hardships
.
As
the
news
of
my
arrival
spread
through
the
kingdom
,
it
brought
prodigious
numbers
of
rich
,
idle
,
and
curious
people
to
see
me
;
so
that
the
villages
were
almost
emptied
;
and
great
neglect
of
tillage
and
household
affairs
must
have
ensued
,
if
his
imperial
majesty
had
not
provided
,
by
several
proclamations
and
orders
of
state
,
against
this
inconveniency
.
He
directed
that
those
who
had
already
beheld
me
should
return
home
,
and
not
presume
to
come
within
fifty
yards
of
my
house
,
without
license
from
the
court
;
whereby
the
secretaries
of
state
got
considerable
fees
.
In
the
mean
time
the
emperor
held
frequent
councils
,
to
debate
what
course
should
be
taken
with
me
;
and
I
was
afterwards
assured
by
a
particular
friend
,
a
person
of
great
quality
,
who
was
as
much
in
the
secret
as
any
,
that
the
court
was
under
many
difficulties
concerning
me
.
They
apprehended
my
breaking
loose
;
that
my
diet
would
be
very
expensive
,
and
might
cause
a
famine
.
Sometimes
they
determined
to
starve
me
;
or
at
least
to
shoot
me
in
the
face
and
hands
with
poisoned
arrows
,
which
would
soon
despatch
me
;
but
again
they
considered
,
that
the
stench
of
so
large
a
carcass
might
produce
a
plague
in
the
metropolis
,
and
probably
spread
through
the
whole
kingdom
.
In
the
midst
of
these
consultations
,
several
officers
of
the
army
went
to
the
door
of
the
great
council-chamber
,
and
two
of
them
being
admitted
,
gave
an
account
of
my
behaviour
to
the
six
criminals
above-mentioned
;
which
made
so
favourable
an
impression
in
the
breast
of
his
majesty
and
the
whole
board
,
in
my
behalf
,
that
an
imperial
commission
was
issued
out
,
obliging
all
the
villages
,
nine
hundred
yards
round
the
city
,
to
deliver
in
every
morning
six
beeves
,
forty
sheep
,
and
other
victuals
for
my
sustenance
;
together
with
a
proportionable
quantity
of
bread
,
and
wine
,
and
other
liquors
;
for
the
due
payment
of
which
,
his
majesty
gave
assignments
upon
his
treasury
:
--
for
this
prince
lives
chiefly
upon
his
own
demesnes
;
seldom
,
except
upon
great
occasions
,
raising
any
subsidies
upon
his
subjects
,
who
are
bound
to
attend
him
in
his
wars
at
their
own
expense
.
An
establishment
was
also
made
of
six
hundred
persons
to
be
my
domestics
,
who
had
board-wages
allowed
for
their
maintenance
,
and
tents
built
for
them
very
conveniently
on
each
side
of
my
door
.
It
was
likewise
ordered
,
that
three
hundred
tailors
should
make
me
a
suit
of
clothes
,
after
the
fashion
of
the
country
;
that
six
of
his
majesty
's
greatest
scholars
should
be
employed
to
instruct
me
in
their
language
;
and
lastly
,
that
the
emperor
's
horses
,
and
those
of
the
nobility
and
troops
of
guards
,
should
be
frequently
exercised
in
my
sight
,
to
accustom
themselves
to
me
.
All
these
orders
were
duly
put
in
execution
;
and
in
about
three
weeks
I
made
a
great
progress
in
learning
their
language
;
during
which
time
the
emperor
frequently
honoured
me
with
his
visits
,
and
was
pleased
to
assist
my
masters
in
teaching
me
.
We
began
already
to
converse
together
in
some
sort
;
and
the
first
words
I
learnt
,
were
to
express
my
desire
"
that
he
would
please
give
me
my
liberty
;
"
which
I
every
day
repeated
on
my
knees
.
His
answer
,
as
I
could
comprehend
it
,
was
,
"
that
this
must
be
a
work
of
time
,
not
to
be
thought
on
without
the
advice
of
his
council
,
and
that
first
I
must
lumos
kelmin
pesso
desmar
lon
emposo
;
"
that
is
,
swear
a
peace
with
him
and
his
kingdom
.
However
,
that
I
should
be
used
with
all
kindness
.
And
he
advised
me
to
"
acquire
,
by
my
patience
and
discreet
behaviour
,
the
good
opinion
of
himself
and
his
subjects
.
"
He
desired
"
I
would
not
take
it
ill
,
if
he
gave
orders
to
certain
proper
officers
to
search
me
;
for
probably
I
might
carry
about
me
several
weapons
,
which
must
needs
be
dangerous
things
,
if
they
answered
the
bulk
of
so
prodigious
a
person
.
"
I
said
,
"
His
majesty
should
be
satisfied
;
for
I
was
ready
to
strip
myself
,
and
turn
up
my
pockets
before
him
.
"
This
I
delivered
part
in
words
,
and
part
in
signs
.
He
replied
,
"
that
,
by
the
laws
of
the
kingdom
,
I
must
be
searched
by
two
of
his
officers
;
that
he
knew
this
could
not
be
done
without
my
consent
and
assistance
;
and
he
had
so
good
an
opinion
of
my
generosity
and
justice
,
as
to
trust
their
persons
in
my
hands
;
that
whatever
they
took
from
me
,
should
be
returned
when
I
left
the
country
,
or
paid
for
at
the
rate
which
I
would
set
upon
them
.
"
I
took
up
the
two
officers
in
my
hands
,
put
them
first
into
my
coat-pockets
,
and
then
into
every
other
pocket
about
me
,
except
my
two
fobs
,
and
another
secret
pocket
,
which
I
had
no
mind
should
be
searched
,
wherein
I
had
some
little
necessaries
that
were
of
no
consequence
to
any
but
myself
.
In
one
of
my
fobs
there
was
a
silver
watch
,
and
in
the
other
a
small
quantity
of
gold
in
a
purse
.
These
gentlemen
,
having
pen
,
ink
,
and
paper
,
about
them
,
made
an
exact
inventory
of
every
thing
they
saw
;
and
when
they
had
done
,
desired
I
would
set
them
down
,
that
they
might
deliver
it
to
the
emperor
.
This
inventory
I
afterwards
translated
into
English
,
and
is
,
word
for
word
,
as
follows
:
"
Imprimis
:
In
the
right
coat-pocket
of
the
great
man-mountain
"
(
(
for
so
I
interpret
the
words
quinbus
flestrin
,
)
)
"
after
the
strictest
search
,
we
found
only
one
great
piece
of
coarse-cloth
,
large
enough
to
be
a
foot-cloth
for
your
majesty
's
chief
room
of
state
.
In
the
left
pocket
we
saw
a
huge
silver
chest
,
with
a
cover
of
the
same
metal
,
which
we
,
the
searchers
,
were
not
able
to
lift
.
We
desired
it
should
be
opened
,
and
one
of
us
stepping
into
it
,
found
himself
up
to
the
mid
leg
in
a
sort
of
dust
,
some
part
whereof
flying
up
to
our
faces
set
us
both
a
sneezing
for
several
times
together
.
In
his
right
waistcoat-pocket
we
found
a
prodigious
bundle
of
white
thin
substances
,
folded
one
over
another
,
about
the
bigness
of
three
men
,
tied
with
a
strong
cable
,
and
marked
with
black
figures
;
which
we
humbly
conceive
to
be
writings
,
every
letter
almost
half
as
large
as
the
palm
of
our
hands
.
In
the
left
there
was
a
sort
of
engine
,
from
the
back
of
which
were
extended
twenty
long
poles
,
resembling
the
pallisados
before
your
majesty
's
court
:
wherewith
we
conjecture
the
man-mountain
combs
his
head
;
for
we
did
not
always
trouble
him
with
questions
,
because
we
found
it
a
great
difficulty
to
make
him
understand
us
.
In
the
large
pocket
,
on
the
right
side
of
his
middle
cover
"
(
(
so
I
