He
is
usually
governed
by
a
decayed
wench
,
or
favourite
footman
,
who
are
the
tunnels
through
which
all
graces
are
conveyed
,
and
may
properly
be
called
,
in
the
last
resort
,
the
governors
of
the
kingdom
.
"
One
day
,
in
discourse
,
my
master
,
having
heard
me
mention
the
nobility
of
my
country
,
was
pleased
to
make
me
a
compliment
which
I
could
not
pretend
to
deserve
:
"
that
he
was
sure
I
must
have
been
born
of
some
noble
family
,
because
I
far
exceeded
in
shape
,
colour
,
and
cleanliness
,
all
the
Yahoos
of
his
nation
,
although
I
seemed
to
fail
in
strength
and
agility
,
which
must
be
imputed
to
my
different
way
of
living
from
those
other
brutes
;
and
besides
I
was
not
only
endowed
with
the
faculty
of
speech
,
but
likewise
with
some
rudiments
of
reason
,
to
a
degree
that
,
with
all
his
acquaintance
,
I
passed
for
a
prodigy
.
"
He
made
me
observe
,
"
that
among
the
Houyhnhnms
,
the
white
,
the
sorrel
,
and
the
iron-gray
,
were
not
so
exactly
shaped
as
the
bay
,
the
dapple-gray
,
and
the
black
;
nor
born
with
equal
talents
of
mind
,
or
a
capacity
to
improve
them
;
and
therefore
continued
always
in
the
condition
of
servants
,
without
ever
aspiring
to
match
out
of
their
own
race
,
which
in
that
country
would
be
reckoned
monstrous
and
unnatural
.
"
I
made
his
honour
my
most
humble
acknowledgments
for
the
good
opinion
he
was
pleased
to
conceive
of
me
,
but
assured
him
at
the
same
time
,
"
that
my
birth
was
of
the
lower
sort
,
having
been
born
of
plain
honest
parents
,
who
were
just
able
to
give
me
a
tolerable
education
;
that
nobility
,
among
us
,
was
altogether
a
different
thing
from
the
idea
he
had
of
it
;
that
our
young
noblemen
are
bred
from
their
childhood
in
idleness
and
luxury
;
that
,
as
soon
as
years
will
permit
,
they
consume
their
vigour
,
and
contract
odious
diseases
among
lewd
females
;
and
when
their
fortunes
are
almost
ruined
,
they
marry
some
woman
of
mean
birth
,
disagreeable
person
,
and
unsound
constitution
(
(
merely
for
the
sake
of
money
)
)
,
whom
they
hate
and
despise
.
That
the
productions
of
such
marriages
are
generally
scrofulous
,
rickety
,
or
deformed
children
;
by
which
means
the
family
seldom
continues
above
three
generations
,
unless
the
wife
takes
care
to
provide
a
healthy
father
,
among
her
neighbours
or
domestics
,
in
order
to
improve
and
continue
the
breed
.
That
a
weak
diseased
body
,
a
meagre
countenance
,
and
sallow
complexion
,
are
the
true
marks
of
noble
blood
;
and
a
healthy
robust
appearance
is
so
disgraceful
in
a
man
of
quality
,
that
the
world
concludes
his
real
father
to
have
been
a
groom
or
a
coachman
.
The
imperfections
of
his
mind
run
parallel
with
those
of
his
body
,
being
a
composition
of
spleen
,
dullness
,
ignorance
,
caprice
,
sensuality
,
and
pride
.
The
reader
may
be
disposed
to
wonder
how
I
could
prevail
on
myself
to
give
so
free
a
representation
of
my
own
species
,
among
a
race
of
mortals
who
are
already
too
apt
to
conceive
the
vilest
opinion
of
humankind
,
from
that
entire
congruity
between
me
and
their
Yahoos
.
But
I
must
freely
confess
,
that
the
many
virtues
of
those
excellent
quadrupeds
,
placed
in
opposite
view
to
human
corruptions
,
had
so
far
opened
my
eyes
and
enlarged
my
understanding
,
that
I
began
to
view
the
actions
and
passions
of
man
in
a
very
different
light
,
and
to
think
the
honour
of
my
own
kind
not
worth
managing
;
which
,
besides
,
it
was
impossible
for
me
to
do
,
before
a
person
of
so
acute
a
judgment
as
my
master
,
who
daily
convinced
me
of
a
thousand
faults
in
myself
,
whereof
I
had
not
the
least
perception
before
,
and
which
,
with
us
,
would
never
be
numbered
even
among
human
infirmities
.
I
had
likewise
learned
,
from
his
example
,
an
utter
detestation
of
all
falsehood
or
disguise
;
and
truth
appeared
so
amiable
to
me
,
that
I
determined
upon
sacrificing
every
thing
to
it
.
Let
me
deal
so
candidly
with
the
reader
as
to
confess
that
there
was
yet
a
much
stronger
motive
for
the
freedom
I
took
in
my
representation
of
things
.
I
had
not
yet
been
a
year
in
this
country
before
I
contracted
such
a
love
and
veneration
for
the
inhabitants
,
that
I
entered
on
a
firm
resolution
never
to
return
to
humankind
,
but
to
pass
the
rest
of
my
life
among
these
admirable
Houyhnhnms
,
in
the
contemplation
and
practice
of
every
virtue
,
where
I
could
have
no
example
or
incitement
to
vice
.
But
it
was
decreed
by
fortune
,
my
perpetual
enemy
,
that
so
great
a
felicity
should
not
fall
to
my
share
.
However
,
it
is
now
some
comfort
to
reflect
,
that
in
what
I
said
of
my
countrymen
,
I
extenuated
their
faults
as
much
as
I
durst
before
so
strict
an
examiner
;
and
upon
every
article
gave
as
favourable
a
turn
as
the
matter
would
bear
.
For
,
indeed
,
who
is
there
alive
that
will
not
be
swayed
by
his
bias
and
partiality
to
the
place
of
his
birth
?
I
have
related
the
substance
of
several
conversations
I
had
with
my
master
during
the
greatest
part
of
the
time
I
had
the
honour
to
be
in
his
service
;
but
have
,
indeed
,
for
brevity
sake
,
omitted
much
more
than
is
here
set
down
.
When
I
had
answered
all
his
questions
,
and
his
curiosity
seemed
to
be
fully
satisfied
,
he
sent
for
me
one
morning
early
,
and
commanded
me
to
sit
down
at
some
distance
(
(
an
honour
which
he
had
never
before
conferred
upon
me
)
)
.
He
said
,
"
he
had
been
very
seriously
considering
my
whole
story
,
as
far
as
it
related
both
to
myself
and
my
country
;
that
he
looked
upon
us
as
a
sort
of
animals
,
to
whose
share
,
by
what
accident
he
could
not
conjecture
,
some
small
pittance
of
reason
had
fallen
,
whereof
we
made
no
other
use
,
than
by
its
assistance
,
to
aggravate
our
natural
corruptions
,
and
to
acquire
new
ones
,
which
nature
had
not
given
us
;
that
we
disarmed
ourselves
of
the
few
abilities
she
had
bestowed
;
had
been
very
successful
in
multiplying
our
original
wants
,
and
seemed
to
spend
our
whole
lives
in
vain
endeavours
to
supply
them
by
our
own
inventions
;
that
,
as
to
myself
,
it
was
manifest
I
had
neither
the
strength
nor
agility
of
a
common
Yahoo
;
that
I
walked
infirmly
on
my
hinder
feet
;
had
found
out
a
contrivance
to
make
my
claws
of
no
use
or
defence
,
and
to
remove
the
hair
from
my
chin
,
which
was
intended
as
a
shelter
from
the
sun
and
the
weather
:
lastly
,
that
I
could
neither
run
with
speed
,
nor
climb
trees
like
my
brethren
,
"
as
he
called
them
,
"
the
Yahoos
in
his
country
.
