The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
105
After
this,
both
the
Souls
went
to
the
Court,
where
all
the
Royal
Family
was
together,
attended
by
the
chief
of
the
Nobles
of
their
Dominions,
which
made
a
very
magnificent
Show;
and
when
the
Soul
of
the
Empress
viewed
the
King
and
Queen,
she
seemed
to
be
in
a
maze,
which
the
Duchess's
Soul
perceiving,
asked
the
Empress
how
she
liked
the
King,
the
Queen,
and
all
the
Royal
Race?
she
answered,
that
in
all
the
Monarchs
she
had
seen
in
that
World,
she
had
not
found
so
much
Majesty
and
Affability
mixt
so
exactly
together,
that
none
did
overshadow
or
eclipse
the
other;
and
as
for
the
Queen,
she
said
that
Vertue
sat
Triumphant
in
her
face,
and
Piety
was
dwelling
in
her
heart;
and
that
all
the
Royal
Family
seem'd
to
be
endued
with
a
Divine
splendor:
but
when
she
had
heard
the
King
discourse,
she
believ'd
that
Mercury
and
Apollo
had
been
his
Cœlestial
Instructors;
and,
my
dear
Lord
and
Husband,
added
the
Duchess,
has
been
his
Earthly
Governor.
But
after
some
short
stay
in
the
Court,
the
Duchess's
soul
grew
very
Melancholy;
the
Empress
asking
the
cause
of
her
sadness?
she
told
her,
That
she
had
an
extreme
desire
to
converse
with
the
soul
of
her
Noble
Lord
and
dear
Husband,
and
that
she
was
inpatient
of
a
longer
stay.
The
Empress
desired
the
Duchess
to
have
but
patience
so
long,
until
the
King,
the
Queen,
and
the
Royal
Family
were
retired,
and
then
she
would
bear
her
Company
to
her
Lord
and
Husband's
Soul,
who
at
that
time
lived
in
the
Country
some
112
miles
off;
which
she
did:
and
thus
these
two
souls
went
towards
those
parts
of
the
Kingdom
where
the
Duke
of
Newcastle
was.
