My
master
,
after
some
expressions
of
great
indignation
,
wondered
"
how
we
dared
to
venture
upon
a
Houyhnhnm
's
back
;
for
he
was
sure
,
that
the
weakest
servant
in
his
house
would
be
able
to
shake
off
the
strongest
Yahoo
;
or
by
lying
down
and
rolling
on
his
back
,
squeeze
the
brute
to
death
.
"
I
answered
"
that
our
horses
were
trained
up
,
from
three
or
four
years
old
,
to
the
several
uses
we
intended
them
for
;
that
if
any
of
them
proved
intolerably
vicious
,
they
were
employed
for
carriages
;
that
they
were
severely
beaten
,
while
they
were
young
,
for
any
mischievous
tricks
;
that
the
males
,
designed
for
the
common
use
of
riding
or
draught
,
were
generally
castrated
about
two
years
after
their
birth
,
to
take
down
their
spirits
,
and
make
them
more
tame
and
gentle
;
that
they
were
indeed
sensible
of
rewards
and
punishments
;
but
his
honour
would
please
to
consider
,
that
they
had
not
the
least
tincture
of
reason
,
any
more
than
the
Yahoos
in
this
country
.
"
It
put
me
to
the
pains
of
many
circumlocutions
,
to
give
my
master
a
right
idea
of
what
I
spoke
;
for
their
language
does
not
abound
in
variety
of
words
,
because
their
wants
and
passions
are
fewer
than
among
us
.
But
it
is
impossible
to
express
his
noble
resentment
at
our
savage
treatment
of
the
Houyhnhnm
race
;
particularly
after
I
had
explained
the
manner
and
use
of
castrating
horses
among
us
,
to
hinder
them
from
propagating
their
kind
,
and
to
render
them
more
servile
.
He
said
,
"
if
it
were
possible
there
could
be
any
country
where
Yahoos
alone
were
endued
with
reason
,
they
certainly
must
be
the
governing
animal
;
because
reason
in
time
will
always
prevail
against
brutal
strength
.
But
,
considering
the
frame
of
our
bodies
,
and
especially
of
mine
,
he
thought
no
creature
of
equal
bulk
was
so
ill-contrived
for
employing
that
reason
in
the
common
offices
of
life
;
"
whereupon
he
desired
to
know
whether
those
among
whom
I
lived
resembled
me
,
or
the
Yahoos
of
his
country
?
"
I
assured
him
,
"
that
I
was
as
well
shaped
as
most
of
my
age
;
but
the
younger
,
and
the
females
,
were
much
more
soft
and
tender
,
and
the
skins
of
the
latter
generally
as
white
as
milk
.
"
He
said
,
"
I
differed
indeed
from
other
Yahoos
,
being
much
more
cleanly
,
and
not
altogether
so
deformed
;
but
,
in
point
of
real
advantage
,
he
thought
I
differed
for
the
worse
:
that
my
nails
were
of
no
use
either
to
my
fore
or
hinder
feet
;
as
to
my
fore
feet
,
he
could
not
properly
call
them
by
that
name
,
for
he
never
observed
me
to
walk
upon
them
;
that
they
were
too
soft
to
bear
the
ground
;
that
I
generally
went
with
them
uncovered
;
neither
was
the
covering
I
sometimes
wore
on
them
of
the
same
shape
,
or
so
strong
as
that
on
my
feet
behind
:
that
I
could
not
walk
with
any
security
,
for
if
either
of
my
hinder
feet
slipped
,
I
must
inevitably
fail
.
"
He
then
began
to
find
fault
with
other
parts
of
my
body
:
"
the
flatness
of
my
face
,
the
prominence
of
my
nose
,
mine
eyes
placed
directly
in
front
,
so
that
I
could
not
look
on
either
side
without
turning
my
head
:
that
I
was
not
able
to
feed
myself
,
without
lifting
one
of
my
fore-feet
to
my
mouth
:
and
therefore
nature
had
placed
those
joints
to
answer
that
necessity
.
He
knew
not
what
could
be
the
use
of
those
several
clefts
and
divisions
in
my
feet
behind
;
that
these
were
too
soft
to
bear
the
hardness
and
sharpness
of
stones
,
without
a
covering
made
from
the
skin
of
some
other
brute
;
that
my
whole
body
wanted
a
fence
against
heat
and
cold
,
which
I
was
forced
to
put
on
and
off
every
day
,
with
tediousness
and
trouble
:
and
lastly
,
that
he
observed
every
animal
in
this
country
naturally
to
abhor
the
Yahoos
,
whom
the
weaker
avoided
,
and
the
stronger
drove
from
them
.
So
that
,
supposing
us
to
have
the
gift
of
reason
,
he
could
not
see
how
it
were
possible
to
cure
that
natural
antipathy
,
which
every
creature
discovered
against
us
;
nor
consequently
how
we
could
tame
and
render
them
serviceable
.
However
,
he
would
,
"
as
he
said
,
"
debate
the
matter
no
farther
,
because
he
was
more
desirous
to
know
my
own
story
,
the
country
where
I
was
born
,
and
the
several
actions
and
events
of
my
life
,
before
I
came
hither
.
"
I
assured
him
,
"
how
extremely
desirous
I
was
that
he
should
be
satisfied
on
every
point
;
but
I
doubted
much
,
whether
it
would
be
possible
for
me
to
explain
myself
on
several
subjects
,
whereof
his
honour
could
have
no
conception
;
because
I
saw
nothing
in
his
country
to
which
I
could
resemble
them
;
that
,
however
,
I
would
do
my
best
,
and
strive
to
express
myself
by
similitudes
,
humbly
desiring
his
assistance
when
I
wanted
proper
words
;
"
which
he
was
pleased
to
promise
me
.
I
said
,
"
my
birth
was
of
honest
parents
,
in
an
island
called
England
;
which
was
remote
from
his
country
,
as
many
days
'
journey
as
the
strongest
of
his
honour
's
servants
could
travel
in
the
annual
course
of
the
sun
;
that
I
was
bred
a
surgeon
,
whose
trade
it
is
to
cure
wounds
and
hurts
in
the
body
,
gotten
by
accident
or
violence
;
that
my
country
was
governed
by
a
female
man
,
whom
we
called
queen
;
that
I
left
it
to
get
riches
,
whereby
I
might
maintain
myself
and
family
,
when
I
should
return
;
that
,
in
my
last
voyage
,
I
was
commander
of
the
ship
,
and
had
about
fifty
Yahoos
under
me
,
many
of
which
died
at
sea
,
and
I
was
forced
to
supply
them
by
others
picked
out
from
several
nations
;
that
our
ship
was
twice
in
danger
of
being
sunk
,
the
first
time
by
a
great
storm
,
and
the
second
by
striking
against
a
rock
.
"
Here
my
master
interposed
,
by
asking
me
,
"
how
I
could
persuade
strangers
,
out
of
different
countries
,
to
venture
with
me
,
after
the
losses
I
had
sustained
,
and
the
hazards
I
had
run
?
"
I
said
,
"
they
were
fellows
of
desperate
fortunes
,
forced
to
fly
from
the
places
of
their
birth
on
account
of
their
poverty
or
their
crimes
.
Some
were
undone
by
lawsuits
;
others
spent
all
they
had
in
drinking
,
whoring
,
and
gaming
;
others
fled
for
treason
;
many
for
murder
,
theft
,
poisoning
,
robbery
,
perjury
,
forgery
,
coining
false
money
,
for
committing
rapes
,
or
sodomy
;
for
flying
from
their
colours
,
or
deserting
to
the
enemy
;
and
most
of
them
had
broken
prison
;
none
of
these
durst
return
to
their
native
countries
,
for
fear
of
being
hanged
,
or
of
starving
in
a
jail
;
and
therefore
they
were
under
the
necessity
of
seeking
a
livelihood
in
other
places
.
"
During
this
discourse
,
my
master
was
pleased
to
interrupt
me
several
times
.
I
had
made
use
of
many
circumlocutions
in
describing
to
him
the
nature
of
the
several
crimes
for
which
most
of
our
crew
had
been
forced
to
fly
their
country
.
This
labour
took
up
several
days
'
conversation
,
before
he
was
able
to
comprehend
me
.
He
was
wholly
at
a
loss
to
know
what
could
be
the
use
or
necessity
of
practising
those
vices
.
To
clear
up
which
,
I
endeavoured
to
give
some
ideas
of
the
desire
of
power
and
riches
;
of
the
terrible
effects
of
lust
,
intemperance
,
malice
,
and
envy
.
All
this
I
was
forced
to
define
and
describe
by
putting
cases
and
making
suppositions
.
After
which
,
like
one
whose
imagination
was
struck
with
something
never
seen
or
heard
of
before
,
he
would
lift
up
his
eyes
with
amazement
and
indignation
.
Power
,
government
,
war
,
law
,
punishment
,
and
a
thousand
other
things
,
had
no
terms
wherein
that
language
could
express
them
,
which
made
the
difficulty
almost
insuperable
,
to
give
my
master
any
conception
of
what
I
meant
But
being
of
an
excellent
understanding
,
much
improved
by
contemplation
and
converse
,
he
at
last
arrived
at
a
competent
knowledge
of
what
human
nature
,
in
our
parts
of
the
world
,
is
capable
to
perform
,
and
desired
I
would
give
him
some
particular
account
of
that
land
which
we
call
Europe
,
but
especially
of
my
own
country
.
