THE
LIFE
AND
DEATH
OF
MVLEY
ABDALA
MELEK
,
the
late
King
of
Barbarie
.
IF
Plutarch
(
who
did
write
,
and
paralel
the
lives
,
and
acts
of
the
most
famous
men
of
those
times
)
were
now
living
,
to
write
and
paralel
on
the
contrarie
the
lives
and
acts
of
the
most
infamous
men
of
the
world
,
I
think
he
would
haue
much
adoe
to
finde
out
a
fit
match
,
either
auncient
or
moderne
,
wherevnto
to
paralel
the
late
King
of
Barbarie
Muley
Abdala
Melek
:
yea
rather
I
thinke
he
would
leave
him
vnparalel'd
.
And
so
must
I
,
only
setting
downe
so
much
as
in
that
short
time
I
staid
at
Morocco
(
which
was
but
two
monthes
)
hath
been
related
to
me
by
way
of
discourse
,
by
such
both
of
our
owne
nation
and
others
as
were
for
the
most
part
eye-witnesses
,
which
is
scarce
the
hundreth
part
of
his
cruel
acts
,
and
mad-pranks
he
plaid
in
that
short
time
of
his
raigne
:
which
was
scarce
foure
yeares
,
mad-pranks
I
may
call
them
,
for
so
is
he
commonlie
called
the
mad
King
.
He
was
Son
to
Mulay
Sidan
by
a
negra
,
so
by
complexion
a
molato
:
The
Mores
in
that
respect
whether
of
wiues
or
concubines
making
no
difference
of
succession
,
but
commonlie
the
eldest
,
though
by
a
concubine
,
carieth
the
crowne
:
and
sometimes
the
yonger
getteth
the
blessing
from
the
elder
:
quo
iure
&c.
capiat
qui
capere
potest
.
He
was
extraordinarilie
giuen
to
drinke
wine
and
strong
drinke
,
which
added
to
his
naturall
disposition
:
(
which
needed
not
)
inclyned
to
crueltie
euen
from
his
infancie
.
Of
a
manlie
stature
:
and
of
a
most
couragious
disposition
.
A
good
horseman
,
with
his
launce
&
target
;
would
euer
be
the
first
man
in
the
face
of
his
enemies
:
who
indeed
durst
neuer
look
him
in
the
face
,
but
presently
faces
about
:
his
sword
making
waie
for
him
which
waie
soeuer
he
went
.
Such
was
his
resolusion
,
viam
inveniam
aut
faciam
.
So
that
it
may
be
doubted
whether
his
courage
,
or
crueltie
were
greater
:
and
in
these
two
respects
,
I
wil
be
bold
to
saie
(
as
before
)
not
to
be
paraleld
by
any
.
As
by
these
few
passages
,
gessing
at
Hercules
by
his
foote
,
may
easelie
appeare
.
And
euen
before
he
was
King
began
to
play
his
prize
like
,
Hercules
furens
,
his
arme
and
sword
still
in
action
,
cutting
and
killing
at
his
pleasure
vpon
euery
slight
occasion
.
At
one
time
he
killed
one
of
his
owne
blood
(
the
blood
royall
)
onlie
for
tasting
a
litle
of
his
sweet
meates
by
stealth
.
Sweet
meates
must
haue
sowre
sauce
.
An
other
(
the
chieffest
of
the
cast
of
the
Shebanites
allied
vnto
him
by
mariage
of
his
Praedecessours
into
that
cast
)
hauing
wronged
one
of
his
servants
,
Shebanits
,
&
came
of
cleare
An
other
time
a
Levantado
or
rebell
(
one
of
their
saints
)
comming
against
his
Father
Muley
Sidan
with
3000.
horse
,
like
to
surprize
him
on
a
sodaine
,
he
with
his
drums
,
musik
and
ensignes
,
and
not
aboue
fortie
horse
,
went
out
against
him
,
chardged
so
furiously
,
as
put
them
,
al
to
flight
:
pursued
the
victory
,
&
(
as
they
say
)
with
his
owne
hand
wounded
the
Levantado
that
he
dyed
,
his
head
after
brought
in
,
to
Muley
Sidan
,
hanged
vp
in
the
Alcasaua
,
and
quarters
likewise
on
the
wals
of
Morocco
,
on
the
gates
of
the
citie
.
Hauing
be
ore
challenged
his
Father
of
neglect
,
and
too
much
securitie
:
of
whom
not
only
his
enemies
,
but
euen
his
Father
(
as
they
say
)
stood
in
feare
,
yet
his
Father
calling
him
Father
.
Such
is
the
praeposterous
maner
of
the
Moores
,
to
call
their
eldest
Son
Father
,
out
of
a
reuerence
(
as
they
say
)
they
giue
to
him
being
the
first
born
,
&
to
be
(
as
it
seemeth
)
Pater
familias
,
Father
of
the
familie
for
the
time
to
come
,
other
reason
I
can
not
giue
of
their
praeposterous
inversion
of
that
relation
,
(
or
rather
confusion
)
for
the
Father
,
to
call
his
Son
Father
.
Our
Heauenly
Father
I
am
sure
did
not
so
,
the
King
of
Kings
:
Thou
art
my
Son
,
&c.
as
it
is
in
the
Psalmes
.
Nor
Dauid
the
King
in
that
his
patheticall
expression
of
his
Fatherly
affection
,
far
beyond
theirs
,
yea
beyond
all
expression
:
Absalon
my
Son
,
my
Son
.
After
his
comming
to
be
King
some
of
the
frends
of
the
Leuantado
hauing
by
stealth
taken
downe
his
quarters
to
bury
them
,
he
commanded
a
great
number
of
the
neighbours
heads
who
dwelt
neere
there
aboutes
to
be
cut
of
,
executing
many
with
his
owne
hands
as
he
met
them
in
the
streets
.
And
not
long
after
immediatlie
vpon
the
death
of
his
Father
,
being
newlie
proclaimed
King
,
his
brother
Muley
Flwallid
(
this
King
)
comming
against
him
with
a
great
force
,
better
affected
of
the
comminaltie
than
the
other
,
in
respect
of
his
crueltie
:
(
which
they
greatlie
feared
,
and
not
without
cause
,
as
afterwards
they
found
)
Muley
Abdala
Melek
giuing
order
first
for
his
ordnance
,
to
be
dischardged
,
immediatlie
after
himself
,
being
the
first
,
man
(
hauing
but
a
few
horse
)
chardged
so
furiouslie
,
and
so
throughlie
,
as
he
rowted
them
all
▪
whervpon
his
brother
fled
towards
Sallie
,
but
not
long
after
was
betrayed
&
brought
back
againe
by
Alkaid
Hamuda
dwelling
neare
Azamore
,
whose
horma
or
sanctuarie
he
tooke
,
invited
and
encouraged
by
him
to
some
further
attempt
:
but
indeed
betrayed
,
who
after
vsed
him
in
a
verie
base
&
vnseemlie
manner
,
stripping
him
,
beating
him
,
and
carying
him
,
chained
vpon
a
horse
to
the
King
.
Wherevpon
the
King
(
they
say
)
when
he
saw
him
relented
,
yea
wept
,
not
vsing
any
extremitie
,
but
rather
out
of
his
lion-like
magnanimitie
,
contemning
what
either
he
,
or
any
other
had
don
,
or
could
doe
against
him
.
Yet
did
his
brother
liue
in
continuall
feare
,
diuers
times
threatned
by
the
King
in
his
mad
humor
,
sending
to
him
to
prepare
himself
,
and
to
knowe
what
kinde
of
death
he
would
dye
:
but
by
mediation
of
his
sisters
and
others
still
put
of
.
At
one
time
(
the
King
being
at
Saffia
)
in
his
drunken
humor
,
the
sentence
pronounced
,
and
an
Alkaid
presentlie
sent
towards
Morocco
,
where
his
brother
was
then
prisonner
to
execute
it
:
but
the
next
morning
the
King
comme
to
himself
,
and
by
mediation
(
as
before
)
reversed
,
and
a
messenger
dispatched
to
countermaund
the
other
,
whom
he
ouertooke
but
at
Tansift
a
riuer
within
foure
myles
of
Morocco
,
commanded
vpon
his
life
to
ouertake
him
:
the
other
making
no
great
hast
,
otherwise
it
had
been
executed
.
One
time
at
Saffia
his
Almahalla
or
campe
(
wherein
his
brother
Muley
Semyn
was
then
)
comming
to
pitch
neare
thereaboutes
,
he
in
steed
of
a
warning
piece
to
remoue
further
of
,
shot
a
bullet
amongst
them
.
An
other
time
(
as
I
heard
)
in
iest
among
the
market
folke
:
yet
did
no
hurt
but
killed
an
asse
.
An
other
time
in
his
Almahalla
(
hauing
been
all
the
daie
abroad
drinking
as
he
vsed
)
and
coming
riding
in
late
at
night
vpon
the
spur
,
as
he
passed
by
the
ordnance
,
whereof
the
English
had
the
chardge
,
he
commaunded
on
the
sodaine
swearing
a
great
English
oath
,
giue
fire
:
which
they
presentlie
did
,
they
durst
doe
no
otherwise
:
so
shot
awaie
his
owne
vncle
being
in
companie
with
him
all
to
peeces
,
His
yongest
brother
,
yea
and
his
owne
yong
sonne
,
sometimes
would
he
hang
vp
by
the
legs
,
and
beate
them
with
his
owne
hands
.
No
merveile
then
if
he
were
cruell
to
others
,
being
so
vnnaturall
to
his
owne
flesh
and
blood
.
Euerie
daie
must
see
blood
(
blood
shed
)
were
it
but
of
a
hen
,
els
not
satisfied
.
Possessed
(
as
some
of
the
Moores
haue
told
me
manie
are
,
&
that
he
was
)
with
a
she
deuill
,
frequent
amongst
them
as
(
it
seemeth
)
amongst
the
heathen
in
times
past
,
whereof
a
heathen
philosopher
writeth
a
set
treatise
of
Incubus
and
succubus
.
And
the
partie
who
told
me
this
said
,
that
one
daie
going
a
hawking
hauing
other
Moores
with
him
,
one
following
a
good
distance
in
the
high
waie
,
on
a
sodaine
stood
still
,
and
not
long
after
they
saw
a
smoake
arise
in
the
same
place
,
whereat
they
wondered
,
&
went
back
,
finding
the
man
much
amazed
.
Asking
the
reason
,
he
said
a
woman
met
him
there
verie
faire
&
in
good
attyre
,
who
offered
herself
to
be
his
wife
,
he
answered
,
he
had
one
alreadie
,
she
replyed
he
might
take
an
other
(
for
so
the
Moores
may
by
their
law
)
being
verie
importunate
with
him
:
at
length
looking
downewards
perceiued
her
clubbed
feet
,
&
what
she
was
,
wherevpon
he
went
back
,
and
absolutly
refused
,
and
therevpon
she
vanished
in
that
maner
in
a
great
snuffe
.
The
man
presently
therevpon
falling
sick
,
and
so
continued
a
good
while
.
How
true
this
is
I
can
not
say
,
but
was
reported
to
me
verie
seriously
,
and
for
a
certaintie
.
But
of
this
I
am
sure
that
the
deuill
can
transforme
himself
into
an
Angel
of
light
:
much
more
take
vpon
him
the
shape
of
a
man
,
or
a
woman
,
as
God
permitteth
to
delude
those
that
obey
not
the
truth
.
And
this
likewise
I
knowe
to
be
true
and
certaine
,
that
he
is
both
a
lyer
(
the
Father
of
lyes
)
and
a
murderer
from
the
beginning
:
euer
a
thirst
,
and
neuer
satisfied
with
blood
.
And
therefore
no
merveile
if
this
tyrant
were
so
possessed
as
before
,
that
euerie
daie
he
must
see
blood
els
not
satisfied
.
And
if
euery
day
,
how
much
blood
may
be
thought
he
shed
in
that
time
of
his
life
&
raigne
.
Sometimes
he
would
cut
of
mens
heads
with
his
owne
hands
,
and
with
his
owne
sharp
sword
,
saying
,
those
whom
he
commaunded
did
not
cut
them
of
well
,
and
at
once
:
which
don
would
aske
one
of
the
Englishmen
if
it
were
not
well
done
,
he
must
say
yea
Muley
.
Yea
six
or
seauen
mens
heads
in
one
day
.
Once
by
euermuch
drinking
distempered
in
his
bodie
,
hauing
his
armes
and
hands
benummed
,
his
Doctor
perswaded
him
to
enter
into
a
bath
.
After
his
bathing
meeting
with
one
of
his
concubines
,
drew
out
his
sword
and
cut
of
her
head
,
to
trie
the
strength
of
his
arme
if
it
were
sound
againe
.
Also
an
other
for
going
out
of
her
bite
or
chamber
to
the
next
doore
to
one
of
her
fellowes
,
for
the
Moores
are
iealous
euen
of
their
women
,
and
will
not
suffer
them
to
companie
together
.
Made
one
man
stand
still
while
he
threw
stones
at
his
face
,
threatning
if
he
offered
to
stir
or
moue
he
would
cut
of
his
head
.
So
likewise
abroad
in
the
fields
,
ofttimes
would
cause
some
one
of
his
seruants
to
lie
downe
grovelling
,
&
sit
vpon
him
in
steed
of
a
stoole
a
whole
night
together
drinking
:
and
the
man
durst
not
for
his
life
stir
.
And
some
to
stand
by
him
whole
daies
and
nights
without
moouing
hand
or
foote
,
otherwise
would
haue
cut
of
their
heads
.
Would
cause
men
to
be
drubbed
,
or
beaten
almost
to
death
in
his
presence
,
which
was
but
a
common
&
gentle
correction
,
fiue
or
six
hundreth
blowes
at
once
,
and
after
they
must
kisse
the
ground
,
&
giue
him
thanks
.
To
whom
in
this
particular
,
&
others
likewise
,
I
may
paralel
a
great
Lord
in
this
part
of
the
world
:
who
(
hauing
slaine
an
other
in
a
privat
duell
,
and
,
vpon
iust
occasion
offered
,
taxed
by
one
to
whom
he
had
don
wrong
,
disgracing
,
&
disabling
him
,
and
that
in
an
open
assemblie
,
&
displacing
him
too
:
and
therefore
had
the
partie
reason
there
also
to
right
himself
,
and
reply
,
par
pari
referre
,
and
disable
him
likewise
for
shedding
of
blood
,
which
by
the
Law
of
God
is
murder
)
caused
the
partie
to
be
committed
to
prison
(
closse
prisoner
at
the
first
)
and
there
kept
,
and
fed
with
the
bread
of
affliction
,
till
in
the
end
he
was
forced
:
(
his
imprisonment
,
and
punishment
both
of
bodie
and
purse
,
besides
the
disgrace
,
no
sufficient
satisfaction
)
to
kisse
the
ground
,
that
is
,
make
an
humble
submission
,
and
subscribe
that
he
had
offended
,
and
abused
his
Lordship
with
opprobrious
,
and
vnciuill
language
&c.
that
is
to
say
,
that
the
Law
of
God
is
an
opprobrious
&
vnciuill
language
,
which
saith
:
He
that
smiteth
an
other
with
an
instrument
of
yron
,
that
he
dy
is
a
murderer
&c.
which
submission
he
now
vtterly
disclaimeth
,
as
most
blasphaemous
against
God
&
his
Law
,
&
don
of
infirmity
,
and
by
dares
of
imprisonment
,
hauing
no
meanes
at
all
to
maintaine
himself
any
longer
in
prison
,
but
there
to
starve
:
praying
God
to
forgiue
him
,
and
them
likewise
who
imposed
it
.
To
whom
(
euen
to
that
great
God
)
that
great
Lord
ought
rather
to
make
submission
,
for
violating
his
holie
Law
,
as
David
did
,
(
a
King
and
was
not
ashamed
.
)
I
haue
sinned
&c.
yea
and
after
fell
to
the
ground
,
and
kissed
the
ground
with
manie
teares
.
Therefore
is
he
a
saint
in
heauen
:
and
Muley
Abdala
Melek
,
and
all
such
bloodie
tyrants
,
&
murderers
(
without
repentance
)
deuills
in
hell
.
For
Topheth
is
praepared
of
old
euen
for
Kings
,
and
Lords
too
if
they
repent
not
:
For
with
God
there
is
no
respect
of
persons
.
Nor
was
with
this
King
Muley
Abdala
Melek
,
in
the
cruell
course
of
his
tyrannie
:
wherevnto
all
,
both
great
and
small
,
were
subject
.
Yea
he
would
,
cause
some
to
be
beaten
on
the
soles
of
their
feet
,
and
after
make
them
run
vp
,
and
downe
among
the
stones
,
and
thornes
.
And
so
also
vsed
some
that
were
lame
,
&
hurt
,
pulling
of
there
shooes
,
&
making
them
run
barefooted
in
such
places
:
or
els
would
cut
of
their
heads
.
Did
cause
one
of
his
Alkaids
(
his
chieffe
falconer
)
to
be
drubbed
and
beaten
,
manie
hundreth
blowes
on
the
buttocks
(
as
himself
told
me
)
and
after
forced
him
to
ride
in
that
painfull
maner
after
him
a
hawking
.
Also
the
same
Alkaid
told
me
,
that
the
girth
of
his
sadle
being
broken
,
and
he
allighted
:
an
other
Alkaid
comming
to
help
him
,
and
holding
his
stirrop
,
the
King
called
that
Alkaid
to
him
,
and
caused
him
to
be
drubbed
for
holding
his
stirrop
,
and
not
long
after
the
like
occasion
falling
out
againe
,
caused
the
same
Alkaid
to
be
drubbed
againe
,
for
not
holding
his
stirrop
.
He
run
a
mans
thigh
thorow
with
his
launce
to
the
saddle
,
and
after
because
he
was
not
able
to
ride
after
him
a
pace
,
giue
him
two
or
three
hundreth
blowes
.
Would
with
his
sword
cut
and
flash
men
for
his
pleasure
,
and
after
himself
giue
them
plaisters
to
cure
them
.
Would
cast
men
to
the
lions
to
be
devoured
,
an
other
of
his
torments
.
To
one
among
the
rest
he
promised
that
if
he
would
fight
with
them
,
and
could
escape
he
should
be
perdoned
:
which
he
did
manfullie
(
as
I
was
told
)
beating
them
from
him
either
with
stones
or
som
such
meanes
clearing
himself
,
yet
af●er
was
put
to
death
Some
he
caused
to
be
rastrar'd
,
or
dragged
by
the
feete
at
the
horse
heeles
,
their
back
and
head
against
the
stones
:
as
he
did
the
Hacam
of
Morocco
(
the
chieffe
officer
of
that
citie
)
round
about
his
Almahalla
or
camp
till
he
died
.
Others
iointed
,
their
fingers
,
and
toes
first
cut
of
by
euerie
jointe
,
armes
and
legs
,
&
so
head
and
all
.
An
other
hanged
vp
by
the
priuie
members
,
one
caused
to
sit
vpon
him
to
weigh
him
downe
:
and
vet
the
man
liuing
.
Another
(
a
hole
digged
in
the
ground
)
set
in
the
earth
vp
to
the
head
,
as
Schollers
in
some
places
use
to
shoote
at
the
cock
at
Shrouetyde
:
so
did
he
cause
the
captiues
with
their
peeces
to
shoote
at
this
poore
mans
head
.
They
all
missing
,
he
himself
came
neere
with
his
owne
peece
and
shot
him
,
calling
him
a
deuill
because
they
all
missed
him
.
He
cut
of
a
Moores
head
(
a
church
man
,
or
Sexton
)
for
crying
on
the
church
tower
or
steeple
,
and
cursing
all
that
did
drinke
wine
,
forbidden
by
their
lawe
.
An
other
also
for
crying
and
singing
more
then
vsuall
.
For
the
Moores
haue
noe
bels
,
but
in
steed
thereof
,
these
cryers
to
call
them
to
their
devotions
:
in
the
name
of
God
,
one
God
,
the
great
God
,
and
his
Prophet
Mahomet
,
the
Messenger
of
God
.
Some
say
this
mad
King
did
once
threaten
that
he
would
haue
one
of
the
Friars
,
French
or
Spanish
,
to
sing
masse
before
him
:
which
I
thinke
would
haue
pleased
him
little
better
.
He
caused
a
French
captiue
to
turne
Moore
,
and
be
cut
,
that
is
made
an
eunuch
,
onlie
for
extolling
the
King
of
France
to
be
one
of
the
greatest
Monarches
of
the
world
.
An
other
,
who
kept
his
horse
,
neuer
without
slashes
and
wounds
.
An
other
Frenchmans
doublet
with
a
paire
of
sizers
did
he
cut
all
ouer
in
slashes
with
his
owne
hands
,
saying
,
he
was
now
a
right
French
Cavallero
,
like
to
the
rest
.
If
in
his
drunken
humor
abroad
in
the
fields
(
as
he
was
seldome
sober
)
he
did
fall
from
his
horse
,
all
his
Alkaid●
and
seruants
must
doe
the
like
,
and
lie
downe
,
and
doe
as
he
did
.
Much
like
the
catching
of
the
dotterill
:
and
not
offer
to
rise
or
get
on
horseback
till
he
did
,
nor
to
hold
his
stirrop
,
or
come
neare
him
all
the
while
,
if
they
did
he
would
giue
them
blowes
.
One
of
his
Alkaids
,
for
some
such
like
offence
,
caused
he
to
sit
24.
houres
on
he
top
of
his
tent
in
the
Almahalla
(
as
it
were
on
the
pillorie
)
for
all
men
to
gaze
vpon
.
And
now
and
then
would
he
giue
them
a
pill
called
Shishai
(
the
effect
whereof
is
to
make
men
merie
drunke
)
to
make
himself
sport
.
But
indeed
his
onlie
sport
was
in
cutting
of
mens
heads
,
and
(
as
before
)
in
shedding
,
and
seeing
of
blood
.
No
one
day
escaped
but
one
or
other
sacrificed
in
most
bloodie
manner
to
this
vnsatiable
deuill
:
and
she
deuill
together
,
if
that
opinion
of
the
Moores
be
true
,
as
before
.
On
a
time
the
Christian
captiues
,
at
Saffia
the
port
town
,
had
laid
a
plot
to
breake
the
prison
,
and
escape
by
sea
in
a
boate
,
but
in
the
acting
thereof
were
discouered
,
all
taken
and
beaten
in
most
pitifull
maner
to
make
them
confesse
the
Authors
,
most
of
them
Spaniards
,
and
French
:
the
chieffe
plotter
a
Spaniard
(
as
it
seemeth
)
of
some
account
,
called
Don
Pedro
,
who
was
sent
for
to
the
King
(
then
in
his
Almahalla
)
who
therevpon
called
all
the
English
,
and
others
to
kneele
before
him
,
setting
the
Spaniard
also
right
before
him
.
Then
said
to
the
English
,
youe
see
this
mis beliuer
that
would
haue
run
awaie
,
if
any
of
youe
be
like
minded
,
run
sure
,
and
cleare
awaie
:
otherwise
,
if
youe
be
taken
see
here
your
doome
.
Then
caused
he
first
the
Spaniards
eares
to
be
cut
of
one
after
an
other
:
then
his
nose
:
then
his
lippes
one
after
an
other
:
then
his
mouth
,
on
both
sides
slit
vp
to
the
eares
:
then
his
fingers
disiointed
one
from
an
other
:
which
don
the
King
fell
a
laughing
,
ha
,
ha
,
ha
.
Then
said
the
Spaniard
to
him
(
hauing
all
this
while
looked
him
in
the
face
&
indured
it
verie
manfullie
)
now
Tyrant
doe
thy
worst
.
wherevpon
presentlie
he
cut
of
his
head
.
So
dyed
this
valiant
champion
,
euen
in
death
triumphing
ouer
his
tyrannicall
tormentors
.
An
other
time
a
Moore
being
brought
before
him
for
some
misdemeanor
fearing
death
,
said
vnto
him
:
Muley
,
I
haue
liued
all
the
daies
of
my
life
hitherto
a
Christian
,
if
thou
wilt
now
pardon
me
,
I
will
turne
true
Moore
againe
.
His
meaning
was
that
he
had
liued
a
wicked
,
and
lewd
life
,
as
many
Christians
haue
don
,
and
doe
,
both
in
that
and
other
countries
,
I
speake
it
to
their
shame
,
whereby
the
name
of
Christ
,
&
his
religion
is
scandalized
,
and
blasphaemed
:
but
yet
,
notwithstanding
that
his
confession
,
that
he
had
liued
a
Christian
,
and
profession
to
turne
Moore
againe
,
(
that
is
to
say
,
)
to
lead
a
godly
life
,
was
executed
.
For
with
this
King
there
was
no
respect
of
persons
,
or
religions
,
or
occasions
great
or
small
.
Sins
veniall
,
or
mortall
all
one
,
that
is
to
say
mortall
,
Occasions
?
nay
oft
times
without
any
occasion
at
all
but
onlie
as
he
met
with
any
by
accident
,
in
his
drunken
and
deuilish
humor
,
would
try
(
as
before
vpon
his
owne
women
)
the
strength
of
his
arme
,
and
goodnes
of
his
sword
and
chiefflie
vpon
his
owne
nation
without
respect
of
persons
:
he
had
no
minions
,
or
favorits
at
all
:
one
good
propertie
in
him
.
What
shall
I
say
.
But
(
as
an
Alkaid
telling
me
of
these
and
other
his
mad
and
tragicall
acts
exclaimed
)
a
deuill
,
a
deuill
.
His
Alcasava
,
or
court
the
verie
picture
of
hell
:
which
made
the
greater
and
better
forte
to
flee
away
into
the
mountaines
,
or
stand
vpon
their
guard
a
far
of
:
like
those
wylie
foxes
in
AEsop
seeing
all
foote
steps
going
forward
into
the
lions
den
,
but
few
or
none
retrorsum
,
back
againe
.
And
those
that
did
,
howling
,
and
crying
,
weeping
,
and
wayling
sighing
,
and
wringing
their
hands
,
either
for
themselues
,
or
their
friends
.
This
was
the
dailie
,
and
dolefull
musick
both
within
and
without
:
the
verie
gates
of
hell
.
Friends
?
nay
rather
fiends
,
daylie
tormenting
one
an
other
.
For
so
would
he
commaund
his
Alkaids
,
and
servants
to
drub
one
an
other
at
his
pleasure
,
&
cut
of
one
an
others
heads
too
.
He
would
commonlie
say
in
a
iesting
maner
,
that
it
seemed
to
him
whensoeuer
he
executed
any
of
the
Moores
,
that
they
had
two
or
three
heads
:
meaning
to
cut
of
but
one
,
he
left
none
:
wishing
(
as
it
seemeth
)
like
that
Romane
tyrant
,
that
all
the
Romanes
had
but
one
neck
,
he
would
cut
them
all
of
at
once
:
So
Muley
Abdala
Melek
,
the
Moores
,
of
whom
he
was
Flagellum
,
the
onlie
whip
that
euer
was
.
And
(
as
some
thinke
)
the
best
King
for
the
Moores
that
euer
was
:
requiring
not
a
blocke
,
but
AEsops
storke
to
keepe
them
in
subiection
,
they
otherwise
prone
to
rebellion
,
affecting
alteration
,
and
innovation
:
as
their
refran
or
proverb
is
:
Everie
day
a
new
cus-cus
,
euerie
day
a
new
wife
,
and
euerie
day
a
new
King
.
And
though
he
was
thus
cruell
and
tyrannous
to
the
Moores
,
and
others
,
yet
did
he
favour
much
and
respect
the
English
,
to
wit
the
captiues
,
both
before
and
after
he
was
King
.
Making
one
of
them
once
to
ride
behinde
him
,
but
withall
bidding
him
not
sit
too
closse
to
him
for
filling
him
full
of
lyce
.
Threatning
sometimes
,
but
yet
neuer
giuing
any
of
them
so
much
as
a
blowe
.
Who
in
his
fathers
time
were
kept
in
chaines
both
by
the
neck
and
legs
,
but
he
comming
to
be
king
releassed
them
,
and
made
them
,
his
gunners
,
giuing
them
free
leaue
to
goe
vp
and
downe
where
they
would
at
their
pleasure
,
and
doe
almost
what
they
would
:
and
not
a
Moore
that
durst
controll
them
,
but
rather
stood
in
awe
of
them
.
Though
their
allowance
but
short
,
yet
,
hauing
that
libertie
,
they
made
the
better
shift
.
And
somtimes
the
king
himself
in
a
good
humor
would
giue
them
money
:
yea
,
and
sometimes
in
his
mad
humor
.
Yet
did
he
cause
some
English
boyes
perforce
to
turne
Moores
,
cutting
them
,
and
making
them
capadoes
,
or
eunuches
:
but
afterwards
(
as
they
say
)
repented
,
saying
:
he
would
neuer
more
force
Englishmen
to
turne
Moores
,
for
he
found
them
better
seruants
to
him
being
christians
,
then
Moores
:
for
that
being
christians
they
would
stand
by
him
,
and
stay
with
him
:
but
being
Moores
run
awaie
from
him
,
hauing
more
libertie
and
opportunitie
.
And
as
he
was
(
as
I
may
say
contrarie
to
his
nature
)
thus
favourable
to
the
captiues
,
so
was
he
likewise
to
the
Merchants
,
or
others
that
came
as
hoare
.
He
being
at
Saffia
one
time
standing
vpon
the
wals
,
an
English
boate
comming
as
hoare
,
he
called
to
one
of
the
men
to
come
to
him
:
who
,
not
knowing
him
to
be
the
king
,
al
the
while
stood
talking
vnto
him
with
his
hatt
on
his
head
in
Spanish
,
after
the
King
going
into
the
castle
,
called
one
of
the
English
captiues
to
him
,
asking
him
if
his
countriemen
had
no
better
maners
?
bidding
him
gofetch
the
partie
to
him
,
who
being
come
,
the
King
would
say
nothing
to
him
,
but
only
made
him
to
attend
there
a
good
time
,
and
caused
the
English
captiue
whom
he
loued
well
,
to
be
committed
to
prison
in
the
others
steed
,
and
chaines
to
be
put
on
him
.
But
the
next
day
sent
for
him
,
causing
his
sword
to
be
restored
to
him
,
and
so
,
in
a
mad
humor
,
made
him
,
both
with
his
sword
about
his
side
,
and
chaines
about
his
legs
,
to
walke
after
him
round
about
the
wals
,
talking
,
and
iesting
with
him
familiarlie
as
he
was
wont
:
and
then
after
this
chaines
also
were
taken
from
him
.
This
onlie
he
did
in
iest
,
to
teach
Englishmen
good
maners
against
an
other
time
.
But
to
the
Moores
his
iests
were
in
good
earnest
,
a
word
and
a
blowe
.
At
the
same
place
at
Saffia
,
he
would
take
the
women
,
a
washing
at
the
sea
side
vpon
the
sands
,
set
them
vpon
their
heads
,
&
cause
water
to
be
powred
(
with
reverence
be
it
spoken
)
into
their
vnseemly
parts
,
to
see
if
it
would
come
out
at
the
mouth
againe
.
He
mustered
all
the
faire
women
in
Morocco
:
(
whereof
it
seemeth
he
had
a
Catalogue
)
causing
them
all
at
once
,
&
on
a
sodaine
to
come
forth
into
his
great
garden
,
called
Monsarat
:
(
being
a
mile
in
length
,
planted
with
Orange
,
and
lemmon
trees
,
and
all
kinde
of
fruits
)
and
there
pitch
their
tents
for
14.
daies
together
:
praetending
a
pilgrimage
with
his
women
to
Gometta
,
towards
the
hils
of
Atlas
,
no
man
to
come
neare
them
(
no
not
their
husbands
)
but
only
their
negras
,
&
seruing
maids
:
himself
onlie
walking
the
round
,
all
these
women
dailie
and
nightlie
sitting
,
and
attending
in
their
tent
doores
as
he
passed
by
to
view
them
:
modestie
m●y
not
repeat
the
rest
.
At
Gometta
there
is
the
monument
of
Siddie
Blabbas
one
of
their
great
saints
,
and
there
a
great
stonne
,
vpon
which
the
Moores
vse
to
rub
their
bellies
,
saying
it
cureth
the
chollicke
and
diuers
other
diseases
.
Som
Christians
say
this
Siddie
Blabbas
was
saint
Augustine
,
and
that
vpon
this
ston
he
preached
:
both
which
savour
of
superstition
.
But
Muley
Abdala
Melck
had
no
such
devotion
,
for
he
went
not
there
at
all
,
nor
those
women
neither
,
almost
famished
and
starved
with
hunger
,
and
cold
:
for
no
man
durst
come
neare
them
all
that
time
to
bring
them
any
provision
.
This
was
one
of
his
tragicomicall
parts
.
One
of
the
Englishmen
whom
he
loued
aboue
the
rest
,
who
had
the
chardge
of
one
of
his
chieffe
horses
,
which
was
verie
vnrulie
,
&
would
bite
any
man
that
came
neare
him
,
therfore
alwaies
fast
tyed
vp
:
the
king
comming
into
his
rowa
,
or
stable
,
&
spying
some
thing
amisse
about
the
horse
,
would
not
strike
the
Englishman
,
but
commanded
the
horse
to
be
let
loose
,
&
the
Englishman
to
stand
fast
by
him
,
suffering
the
horse
to
bite
him
at
his
pleasure
,
euen
the
flesh
from
his
armes
:
durst
not
stir
till
the
king
called
to
him
.
An
other
time
,
the
same
Englishman
complayning
to
him
,
that
he
had
nothing
to
eate
saue
barlie
,
the
King
caused
the
horse
his
Sabadera
or
bag
in
which
they
vse
to
giue
them
provander
,
to
be
hanged
about
the
English
mans
necke
full
of
barlie
:
(
as
they
doe
vpon
their
horses
heads
)
and
so
made
him
eate
the
barlie
like
a
horse
.
An
other
time
the
King
,
hauing
taken
offence
at
some
thing
,
threatned
to
kill
the
Englishman
,
and
that
without
delay
:
an
Alkaid
,
willing
to
saue
his
life
,
offered
the
King
I
knowe
not
how
manie
hundreth
Duccats
for
him
,
to
buy
him
of
the
King
.
Why
thou
foole
(
said
the
King
)
doest
thou
thinke
I
meane
to
kill
him
?
No
,
I
would
not
for
so
manie
thousand
Duccats
:
but
to
the
Moores
(
as
I
said
before
)
his
iests
,
and
threats
were
in
good
earnest
.
One
of
his
Negros
whom
he
loued
,
and
called
brother
,
hauing
offended
him
,
being
in
his
Obadia
,
that
statelie
pallace
,
walking
in
his
garden
,
a
little
paradise
,
in
the
middest
whereof
are
diuers
pleasant
tankes
or
ponds
,
he
caused
him
to
be
cast
into
one
of
them
,
forbidding
any
to
come
neare
him
to
help
him
out
againe
:
at
length
,
hauing
walked
a
turne
or
two
,
bade
one
goe
pull
him
out
:
who
brought
him
word
he
was
drowned
.
What
my
brother
drowned
,
said
he
?
Goe
pull
him
out
,
and
burie
him
:
there
was
all
the
mourning
.
An
other
he
caused
to
eate
his
owne
excrement
:
asking
how
it
relished
.
Yea
he
himself
cut
a
peece
of
the
brawne
of
a
mans
arme
whom
he
had
killed
,
broyled
it
on
the
coales
,
The
King
of
Gagoes
son
,
not
ouer
a
day
or
two
before
the
Kings
death
(
some
say
the
same
day
)
drinking
together
,
because
he
was
not
able
to
pledge
him
so
much
as
he
drunk
,
being
all
aqua
vitae
(
for
so
must
euerie
one
doe
as
he
did
,
and
drinke
as
he
did
)
caused
the
whole
bole
full
of
aqua
vitae
to
be
giuen
him
backward
like
a
glister
,
till
it
reversed
in
their
faces
againe
that
gaue
it
.
Hauing
not
long
before
made
him
to
stand
two
daies
,
and
two
nights
in
the
water
.
And
before
throwne
downe
an
other
of
the
sons
from
the
wals
of
Saffia
,
and
broke
his
thigh
.
Vnder
a
colour
of
going
a
hawking
,
would
lie
whole
daies
,
and
nights
abroad
in
the
fields
a
drinking
:
And
before
his
death
manie
daies
,
&
nights
together
.
God
hauing
bereaued
him
of
his
understanding
as
he
did
Nebuchadnezer
,
and
driuen
him
from
men
to
dwell
with
the
beasts
of
the
field
.
Yea
he
himself
not
long
before
,
hauing
driuen
awaie
from
him
all
his
most
trustie
servants
,
(
saue
one
or
two
)
committed
to
prison
:
And
withall
a
watchfull
dog
which
he
loued
,
&
fed
with
his
owne
hand
,
for
some
small
offence
he
tooke
,
likewise
committed
to
prison
with
them
:
commaunding
he
should
but
haue
so
much
bread
,
and
water
a
daie
.
All
these
his
watchmen
at
once
sequestred
from
him
,
and
the
other
so
ouer
toyled
,
&
wearied
with
watching
day
&
night
:
(
perhaps
also
wearie
of
him
as
were
others
:
)
all
seemed
to
conspire
his
death
.
Plotted
(
as
it
seemeth
)
before
by
some
of
the
Elchies
,
or
renegadoes
,
whom
the
King
had
threatned
the
next
time
he
came
to
his
house
in
Morocco
to
cut
,
and
make
Eunuches
,
to
the
number
of
two
hundreth
:
whereof
they
were
sore
affraid
.
And
therefore
one
among
the
rest
(
a
Frenchman
as
is
reported
)
watched
his
opportunitie
when
the
King
came
back
to
his
tent
at
night
(
hauing
been
all
the
day
abroad
a
drinking
)
and
with
a
peece
chardged
with
two
chained
bullets
,
shot
him
in
by
the
fundament
,
and
privie
members
into
the
bodie
,
as
he
was
lying
along
in
his
tent
.
A
iust
iudgement
of
God
,
in
respect
of
that
glister
of
aqua
vitae
he
gaue
to
the
King
of
Gagoes
Son
:
&
threatning
likewise
the
elchies
as
before
.
As
also
in
respect
of
that
abhominable
impudent
and
filthie
act
he
did
at
Saffia
to
those
poore
women
.
But
chiefly
(
which
God
in
the
end
will
punish
vpon
those
Mahometans
,
both
Turks
and
Moores
)
in
causing
poore
Christians
(
boyes
and
others
)
to
be
circumcised
perforce
,
yea
cut
,
and
made
eunuches
.
A
iust
iudgement
of
God
(
I
say
)
of
all
those
Tyrants
,
both
Turkes
,
Moores
,
and
others
,
to
be
trembled
at
:
and
so
I
leaue
him
.
Immediatly
after
his
death
his
younger
brother
Muley
Elwallid
was
saluted
King
:
being
at
that
time
a
prisoner
in
the
Alcasaua
,
the
Kings
house
in
Morocco
,
expecting
dailie
nothing
els
but
death
.
Wherevpon
some
of
his
frends
(
as
at
such
a
time
,
and
in
such
a
case
all
are
frends
,
&
happie
he
that
can
be
the
first
;
and
swiftest
Messenger
)
running
in
all
hast
to
the
prison
doore
,
and
crying
out
aloud
to
him
to
come
forth
:
he
thinking
it
had
been
to
execution
,
to
be
put
to
death
:
lingering
,
&
excusing
himself
,
that
he
would
but
take
leaue
of
his
wife
,
and
make
himself
readie
(
which
he
did
only
to
die
)
they
calling
,
and
crying
more
and
more
,
at
length
he
came
forth
,
and
so
was
pregoned
,
and
proclaimed
King
of
a
prisoner
(
I
say
)
on
a
sodaine
become
a
King
.
Of
a
far
more
soft
nature
,
&
disposition
than
his
brother
:
yet
cruell
and
Tyrannous
to
poore
Christians
,
and
to
the
English
,
whom
of
late
he
hath
most
Barbarously
entreated
some
of
them
.
Eight
at
once
taken
,
and
circumcised
perforce
:
beaten
,
wounded
,
and
one
mans
head
almost
cut
of
,
to
make
them
turne
Moores
,
and
forsake
their
faith
.
The
rest
fearefull
,
dailie
expecting
the
like
measure
:
as
by
letters
latelie
written
from
the
Merchants
there
may
appeare
:
which
I
reserue
,
with
other
passages
,
to
a
further
account
,
leauing
them
to
his
mercie
,
which
indeed
is
crueltie
:
For
the
mercies
of
the
wicked
are
cruelties
:
and
him
and
them
to
God
to
iudge
betwixt
them
,
which
in
time
might
haue
been
preuented
,
by
a
seasonable
dispatch
long
since
expected
:
the
losse
of
so
manie
poore
Christian
soules
,
as
necessarie
I
dare
say
as
some
other
dispatches
:
if
the
bodies
,
and
soules
of
Christians
be
esteemed
of
any
value
now
a
daies
:
as
they
are
in
Gods
sight
right
precious
:
precious
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
is
the
death
of
his
saints
.
And
now
will
I
addresse
my selfe
(
with
this
Proposition
:
and
petition
herevnto
annexed
)
to
Christian
Princes
,
to
condole
,
and
commiserate
the
distressed
,
or
rather
desperate
estate
of
these
most
miserable
,
or
rather
more
than
miserable
,
creatures
,
if
more
may
be
:
not
only
the
English
,
but
all
other
nations
,
who
this
long
time
haue
indured
a
most
miserable
,
and
intollerable
slauerie
vnder
these
infidels
,
both
Turks
,
and
Moores
,
and
are
like
to
doe
more
and
more
if
not
prevented
:
Which
I
pray
God
at
length
they
may
take
into
their
Christian
consideration
.
AMEN
.
