The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
117
Fortune
hearing
thus
Honesty's
plain
Speech,
thought
it
very
rude,
and
would
not
hearken
to
Truth's
Judgment,
but
went
away
in
a
Passion:
At
which,
both
the
Empress
and
Duchess
were
extreamly
troubled,
that
their
endeavours
should
have
no
better
effect:
but
Honesty
chid
the
Duchess,
and
said,
she
was
to
be
punished
for
desiring
so
much
Fortune's
favours;
for
it
appears,
said
she,
that
you
mistrust
the
gods
blessings:
At
which
the
Duchess
wept,
answering
Honesty,
That
she
did
neither
mistrust
the
gods
blessings,
nor
relye
upon
Fortune's
favours;
but
desired
onely
that
her
Lord
might
have
no
potent
Enemies.
The
Empress
being
much
troubled
to
see
her
weep,
told
Honesty
in
anger,
she
wanted
the
discretion
of
Prudence;
for
though
you
are
commended,
said
she,
yet
you
are
apt
to
commit
many
indiscreet
actions,
unless
Prudence
be
your
guide.
At
which
reproof
Prudence
smiled,
and
Honesty
was
somewhat
out
of
countenance;
but
they
soon
became
very
good
friends:
and
after
the
Duchess's
Soul
had
stayed
some
time
with
the
Empress
in
the
Blazing-World,
she
begg'd
leave
of
her
to
return
to
her
Lord
and
Husband;
which
the
Empress
granted
her,
upon
condition
she
should
come
and
visit
her
as
often
as
conveniently
she
could,
promising
that
she
would
do
the
same
to
the
Duchess.
