The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
124
At
last
the
Duchess
desired
the
Empress
to
send
for
her
Ship-wrights,
and
all
her
Architects,
which
were
Giants;
who
being
called,
the
Duchess
told
them
how
some
in
her
own
World
had
been
so
ingenious,
as
to
contrive
Ships
that
could
swim
under
Water,
and
asked,
Whether
they
could
do
the
like?
The
Giants
answered,
They
had
never
heard
of
that
Invention;
nevertheless,
they
would
try
what
might
be
done
by
Art,
and
spare
no
labour
or
industry
to
find
it
out.
In
the
mean
time,
while
both
the
Empress
and
Duchess
were
in
a
serious
Counsel,
after
many
debates,
the
Duchess
desired
but
a
few
Ships
to
transport
some
of
the
Bird-
Worm-
and
Bear-
men:
Alas!
said
the
Empress,
What
can
such
sorts
of
Men
do
in
the
other
World?
especially
so
few?
They
will
be
soon
destroyed,
for
a
Musket
will
destroy
numbers
of
Birds
in
one
shot.
The
Duchess
said,
I
desire
your
Majesty
will
have
but
a
little
patience,
and
relie
upon
my
advice,
and
you
shall
not
fail
to
save
your
own
Native
Country,
and
in
a
manner
become
a
Mistress
of
all
that
World
you
came
from.
