When
we
arrived
at
the
island
,
which
was
about
eleven
in
the
morning
,
one
of
the
gentlemen
who
accompanied
me
went
to
the
governor
,
and
desired
admittance
for
a
stranger
,
who
came
on
purpose
to
have
the
honour
of
attending
on
his
highness
.
This
was
immediately
granted
,
and
we
all
three
entered
the
gate
of
the
palace
between
two
rows
of
guards
,
armed
and
dressed
after
a
very
antic
manner
,
and
with
something
in
their
countenances
that
made
my
flesh
creep
with
a
horror
I
can
not
express
.
482
We
passed
through
several
apartments
,
between
servants
of
the
same
sort
,
ranked
on
each
side
as
before
,
till
we
came
to
the
chamber
of
presence
;
where
,
after
three
profound
obeisances
,
and
a
few
general
questions
,
we
were
permitted
to
sit
on
three
stools
,
near
the
lowest
step
of
his
highness
's
throne
.
He
understood
the
language
of
Balnibarbi
,
although
it
was
different
from
that
of
this
island
.
He
desired
me
to
give
him
some
account
of
my
travels
;
and
,
to
let
me
see
that
I
should
be
treated
without
ceremony
,
he
dismissed
all
his
attendants
with
a
turn
of
his
finger
;
at
which
,
to
my
great
astonishment
,
they
vanished
in
an
instant
,
like
visions
in
a
dream
when
we
awake
on
a
sudden
.
I
could
not
recover
myself
in
some
time
,
till
the
governor
assured
me
,
"
that
I
should
receive
no
hurt
:
"
and
observing
my
two
companions
to
be
under
no
concern
,
who
had
been
often
entertained
in
the
same
manner
,
I
began
to
take
courage
,
and
related
to
his
highness
a
short
history
of
my
several
adventures
;
yet
not
without
some
hesitation
,
and
frequently
looking
behind
me
to
the
place
where
I
had
seen
those
domestic
spectres
.
I
had
the
honour
to
dine
with
the
governor
,
where
a
new
set
of
ghosts
served
up
the
meat
,
and
waited
at
table
.
I
now
observed
myself
to
be
less
terrified
than
I
had
been
in
the
morning
.
I
stayed
till
sunset
,
but
humbly
desired
his
highness
to
excuse
me
for
not
accepting
his
invitation
of
lodging
in
the
palace
.
483
My
two
friends
and
I
lay
at
a
private
house
in
the
town
adjoining
,
which
is
the
capital
of
this
little
island
;
and
the
next
morning
we
returned
to
pay
our
duty
to
the
governor
,
as
he
was
pleased
to
command
us
.

After
this
manner
we
continued
in
the
island
for
ten
days
,
most
part
of
every
day
with
the
governor
,
and
at
night
in
our
lodging
.
I
soon
grew
so
familiarized
to
the
sight
of
spirits
,
that
after
the
third
or
fourth
time
they
gave
me
no
emotion
at
all
:
or
,
if
I
had
any
apprehensions
left
,
my
curiosity
prevailed
over
them
.
For
his
highness
the
governor
ordered
me
"
to
call
up
whatever
persons
I
would
choose
to
name
,
and
in
whatever
numbers
,
among
all
the
dead
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
to
the
present
time
,
and
command
them
to
answer
any
questions
I
should
think
fit
to
ask
;
with
this
condition
,
that
my
questions
must
be
confined
within
the
compass
of
the
times
they
lived
in
.
And
one
thing
I
might
depend
upon
,
that
they
would
certainly
tell
me
the
truth
,
for
lying
was
a
talent
of
no
use
in
the
lower
world
.
"
485
I
made
my
humble
acknowledgments
to
his
highness
for
so
great
a
favour
.
We
were
in
a
chamber
,
from
whence
there
was
a
fair
prospect
into
the
park
.
And
because
my
first
inclination
was
to
be
entertained
with
scenes
of
pomp
and
magnificence
,
I
desired
to
see
Alexander
the
Great
at
the
head
of
his
army
,
just
after
the
battle
of
Arbela
:
which
,
upon
a
motion
of
the
governor
's
finger
,
immediately
appeared
in
a
large
field
,
under
the
window
where
we
stood
.
486
Alexander
was
called
up
into
the
room
:
it
was
with
great
difficulty
that
I
understood
his
Greek
,
and
had
but
little
of
my
own
.
He
assured
me
upon
his
honour
"
that
he
was
not
poisoned
,
but
died
of
a
bad
fever
by
excessive
drinking
.
"
487
Next
,
I
saw
Hannibal
passing
the
Alps
,
who
told
me
"
he
had
not
a
drop
of
vinegar
in
his
camp
.

I
saw
Caesar
and
Pompey
at
the
head
of
their
troops
,
just
ready
to
engage
.
I
saw
the
former
,
in
his
last
great
triumph
.
I
desired
that
the
senate
of
Rome
might
appear
before
me
,
in
one
large
chamber
,
and
an
assembly
of
somewhat
a
later
age
in
counterview
,
in
another
.
The
first
seemed
to
be
an
assembly
of
heroes
and
demigods
;
the
other
,
a
knot
of
pedlars
,
pick-pockets
,
highwayman
,
and
bullies
.
489
The
governor
,
at
my
request
,
gave
the
sign
for
Caesar
and
Brutus
to
advance
towards
us
.
I
was
struck
with
a
profound
veneration
at
the
sight
of
Brutus
,
and
could
easily
discover
the
most
consummate
virtue
,
the
greatest
intrepidity
and
firmness
of
mind
,
the
truest
love
of
his
country
,
and
general
benevolence
for
mankind
,
in
every
lineament
of
his
countenance
.
I
observed
,
with
much
pleasure
,
that
these
two
persons
were
in
good
intelligence
with
each
other
;
and
Caesar
freely
confessed
to
me
,
"
that
the
greatest
actions
of
his
own
life
were
not
equal
,
by
many
degrees
,
to
the
glory
of
taking
it
away
.
"
490
I
had
the
honour
to
have
much
conversation
with
Brutus
;
and
was
told
,
"
that
his
ancestor
Junius
,
Socrates
,
Epaminondas
,
Cato
the
younger
,
Sir
Thomas
More
,
and
himself
were
perpetually
together
:
"
a
sextumvirate
,
to
which
all
the
ages
of
the
world
can
not
add
a
seventh
.
