I
could
,
with
great
pleasure
,
enlarge
further
upon
the
manners
and
virtues
of
this
excellent
people
;
but
intending
in
a
short
time
to
publish
a
volume
by
itself
,
expressly
upon
that
subject
,
I
refer
the
reader
thither
;
and
,
in
the
mean
time
,
proceed
to
relate
my
own
sad
catastrophe
.
I
had
settled
my
little
economy
to
my
own
heart
's
content
.
My
master
had
ordered
a
room
to
be
made
for
me
,
after
their
manner
,
about
six
yards
from
the
house
:
the
sides
and
floors
of
which
I
plastered
with
clay
,
and
covered
with
rush-mats
of
my
own
contriving
.
I
had
beaten
hemp
,
which
there
grows
wild
,
and
made
of
it
a
sort
of
ticking
;
this
I
filled
with
the
feathers
of
several
birds
I
had
taken
with
springes
made
of
Yahoos
'
hairs
,
and
were
excellent
food
.
I
had
worked
two
chairs
with
my
knife
,
the
sorrel
nag
helping
me
in
the
grosser
and
more
laborious
part
.
When
my
clothes
were
worn
to
rags
,
I
made
myself
others
with
the
skins
of
rabbits
,
and
of
a
certain
beautiful
animal
,
about
the
same
size
,
called
nnuhnoh
,
the
skin
of
which
is
covered
with
a
fine
down
.
Of
these
I
also
made
very
tolerable
stockings
.
I
soled
my
shoes
with
wood
,
which
I
cut
from
a
tree
,
and
fitted
to
the
upper-leather
;
and
when
this
was
worn
out
,
I
supplied
it
with
the
skins
of
Yahoos
dried
in
the
sun
.
I
often
got
honey
out
of
hollow
trees
,
which
I
mingled
with
water
,
or
ate
with
my
bread
.
No
man
could
more
verify
the
truth
of
these
two
maxims
,
"
That
nature
is
very
easily
satisfied
;
"
and
,
"
That
necessity
is
the
mother
of
invention
.
"
I
enjoyed
perfect
health
of
body
,
and
tranquillity
of
mind
;
I
did
not
feel
the
treachery
or
inconstancy
of
a
friend
,
nor
the
injuries
of
a
secret
or
open
enemy
.
I
had
no
occasion
of
bribing
,
flattering
,
or
pimping
,
to
procure
the
favour
of
any
great
man
,
or
of
his
minion
;
I
wanted
no
fence
against
fraud
or
oppression
:
here
was
neither
physician
to
destroy
my
body
,
nor
lawyer
to
ruin
my
fortune
;
no
informer
to
watch
my
words
and
actions
,
or
forge
accusations
against
me
for
hire
:
here
were
no
gibers
,
censurers
,
backbiters
,
pickpockets
,
highwaymen
,
housebreakers
,
attorneys
,
bawds
,
buffoons
,
gamesters
,
politicians
,
wits
,
splenetics
,
tedious
talkers
,
controvertists
,
ravishers
,
murderers
,
robbers
,
virtuosos
;
no
leaders
,
or
followers
,
of
party
and
faction
;
no
encouragers
to
vice
,
by
seducement
or
examples
;
no
dungeon
,
axes
,
gibbets
,
whipping-posts
,
or
pillories
;
no
cheating
shopkeepers
or
mechanics
;
no
pride
,
vanity
,
or
affectation
;
no
fops
,
bullies
,
drunkards
,
strolling
whores
,
or
poxes
;
no
ranting
,
lewd
,
expensive
wives
;
no
stupid
,
proud
pedants
;
no
importunate
,
overbearing
,
quarrelsome
,
noisy
,
roaring
,
empty
,
conceited
,
swearing
companions
;
no
scoundrels
raised
from
the
dust
upon
the
merit
of
their
vices
,
or
nobility
thrown
into
it
on
account
of
their
virtues
;
no
lords
,
fiddlers
,
judges
,
or
dancing-masters
.
I
had
the
favour
of
being
admitted
to
several
Houyhnhnms
,
who
came
to
visit
or
dine
with
my
master
;
where
his
honour
graciously
suffered
me
to
wait
in
the
room
,
and
listen
to
their
discourse
.
Both
he
and
his
company
would
often
descend
to
ask
me
questions
,
and
receive
my
answers
.
I
had
also
sometimes
the
honour
of
attending
my
master
in
his
visits
to
others
.
I
never
presumed
to
speak
,
except
in
answer
to
a
question
;
and
then
I
did
it
with
inward
regret
,
because
it
was
a
loss
of
so
much
time
for
improving
myself
;
but
I
was
infinitely
delighted
with
the
station
of
an
humble
auditor
in
such
conversations
,
where
nothing
passed
but
what
was
useful
,
expressed
in
the
fewest
and
most
significant
words
;
where
,
as
I
have
already
said
,
the
greatest
decency
was
observed
,
without
the
least
degree
of
ceremony
;
where
no
person
spoke
without
being
pleased
himself
,
and
pleasing
his
companions
;
where
there
was
no
interruption
,
tediousness
,
heat
,
or
difference
of
sentiments
.
They
have
a
notion
,
that
when
people
are
met
together
,
a
short
silence
does
much
improve
conversation
:
this
I
found
to
be
true
;
for
during
those
little
intermissions
of
talk
,
new
ideas
would
arise
in
their
minds
,
which
very
much
enlivened
the
discourse
.
Their
subjects
are
,
generally
on
friendship
and
benevolence
,
on
order
and
economy
;
sometimes
upon
the
visible
operations
of
nature
,
or
ancient
traditions
;
upon
the
bounds
and
limits
of
virtue
;
upon
the
unerring
rules
of
reason
,
or
upon
some
determinations
to
be
taken
at
the
next
great
assembly
:
and
often
upon
the
various
excellences
of
poetry
.
I
may
add
,
without
vanity
,
that
my
presence
often
gave
them
sufficient
matter
for
discourse
,
because
it
afforded
my
master
an
occasion
of
letting
his
friends
into
the
history
of
me
and
my
country
,
upon
which
they
were
all
pleased
to
descant
,
in
a
manner
not
very
advantageous
to
humankind
:
and
for
that
reason
I
shall
not
repeat
what
they
said
;
only
I
may
be
allowed
to
observe
,
that
his
honour
,
to
my
great
admiration
,
appeared
to
understand
the
nature
of
Yahoos
much
better
than
myself
.
He
went
through
all
our
vices
and
follies
,
and
discovered
many
,
which
I
had
never
mentioned
to
him
,
by
only
supposing
what
qualities
a
Yahoo
of
their
country
,
with
a
small
proportion
of
reason
,
might
be
capable
of
exerting
;
and
concluded
,
with
too
much
probability
,
"
how
vile
,
as
well
as
miserable
,
such
a
creature
must
be
.
"
I
freely
confess
,
that
all
the
little
knowledge
I
have
of
any
value
,
was
acquired
by
the
lectures
I
received
from
my
master
,
and
from
hearing
the
discourses
of
him
and
his
friends
;
to
which
I
should
be
prouder
to
listen
,
than
to
dictate
to
the
greatest
and
wisest
assembly
in
Europe
.
I
admired
the
strength
,
comeliness
,
and
speed
of
the
inhabitants
;
and
such
a
constellation
of
virtues
,
in
such
amiable
persons
,
produced
in
me
the
highest
veneration
.
At
first
,
indeed
,
I
did
not
feel
that
natural
awe
,
which
the
Yahoos
and
all
other
animals
bear
toward
them
;
but
it
grew
upon
me
by
decrees
,
much
sooner
than
I
imagined
,
and
was
mingled
with
a
respectful
love
and
gratitude
,
that
they
would
condescend
to
distinguish
me
from
the
rest
of
my
species
.
When
I
thought
of
my
family
,
my
friends
,
my
countrymen
,
or
the
human
race
in
general
,
I
considered
them
,
as
they
really
were
,
Yahoos
in
shape
and
disposition
,
perhaps
a
little
more
civilized
,
and
qualified
with
the
gift
of
speech
;
but
making
no
other
use
of
reason
,
than
to
improve
and
multiply
those
vices
whereof
their
brethren
in
this
country
had
only
the
share
that
nature
allotted
them
.
When
I
happened
to
behold
the
reflection
of
my
own
form
in
a
lake
or
fountain
,
I
turned
away
my
face
in
horror
and
detestation
of
myself
,
and
could
better
endure
the
sight
of
a
common
Yahoo
than
of
my
own
person
.
By
conversing
with
the
Houyhnhnms
,
and
looking
upon
them
with
delight
,
I
fell
to
imitate
their
gait
and
gesture
,
which
is
now
grown
into
a
habit
;
and
my
friends
often
tell
me
,
in
a
blunt
way
,
"
that
I
trot
like
a
horse
;
"
which
,
however
,
I
take
for
a
great
compliment
.
Neither
shall
I
disown
,
that
in
speaking
I
am
apt
to
fall
into
the
voice
and
manner
of
the
Houyhnhnms
,
and
hear
myself
ridiculed
on
that
account
,
without
the
least
mortification
.
In
the
midst
of
all
this
happiness
,
and
when
I
looked
upon
myself
to
be
fully
settled
for
life
,
my
master
sent
for
me
one
morning
a
little
earlier
than
his
usual
hour
.
I
observed
by
his
countenance
that
he
was
in
some
perplexity
,
and
at
a
loss
how
to
begin
what
he
had
to
speak
.
After
a
short
silence
,
he
told
me
,
"
he
did
not
know
how
I
would
take
what
he
was
going
to
say
:
that
in
the
last
general
assembly
,
when
the
affair
of
the
Yahoos
was
entered
upon
,
the
representatives
had
taken
offence
at
his
keeping
a
Yahoo
(
meaning
myself
)
in
his
family
,
more
like
a
Houyhnhnm
than
a
brute
animal
;
that
he
was
known
frequently
to
converse
with
me
,
as
if
he
could
receive
some
advantage
or
pleasure
in
my
company
;
that
such
a
practice
was
not
agreeable
to
reason
or
nature
,
or
a
thing
ever
heard
of
before
among
them
;
the
assembly
did
therefore
exhort
him
either
to
employ
me
like
the
rest
of
my
species
,
or
command
me
to
swim
back
to
the
place
whence
I
came
:
that
the
first
of
these
expedients
was
utterly
rejected
by
all
the
Houyhnhnms
who
had
ever
seen
me
at
his
house
or
their
own
;
for
they
alleged
,
that
because
I
had
some
rudiments
of
reason
,
added
to
the
natural
pravity
of
those
animals
,
it
was
to
be
feared
I
might
be
able
to
seduce
them
into
the
woody
and
mountainous
parts
of
the
country
,
and
bring
them
in
troops
by
night
to
destroy
the
Houyhnhnms
'
cattle
,
as
being
naturally
of
the
ravenous
kind
,
and
averse
from
labour
.
