The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
127
This
Advice
of
the
Duchess
was
very
much
approved;
and
joyfully
embraced
by
the
Empress,
who
forthwith
sent
her
Worm-men
to
get
a
good
quantity
of
the
mentioned
Fire-stone.
she
also
commanded
numbers
of
Fish-men
to
wait
on
her
under
Water,
and
Bird-men
to
wait
on
her
in
the
Air;
and
Bear-
and
Worm-men
to
wait
on
her
in
Ships,
according
to
the
Duchess's
advice;
and
indeed
the
Bear-men
were
as
serviceable
to
her,
as
the
North
Star;
but
the
Bird-men
would
often
rest
themselves
upon
the
Deck
of
the
Ships;
neither
would
the
Empress,
being
of
a
sweet
and
noble
Nature,
suffer
that
they
should
tire
or
weary
themselves
by
long
flights;
for
though
by
Land
they
did
often
fly
out
of
one
Countrey
into
another,
yet
they
did
rest
in
some
Woods,
or
on
some
Grounds,
especially
at
night,
when
it
was
their
sleeping
time:
And
therefore
the
Empress
was
forced
to
take
a
great
many
Ships
along
with
her,
both
for
transporting
those
several
sorts
of
her
loyal
and
serviceable
Subjects,
and
to
carry
provisions
for
them:
Besides,
she
was
so
wearied
with
the
Petitions
of
several
others
of
her
Subjects
who
desired
to
wait
on
her
Majesty,
that
she
could
not
possibly
deny
them
all;
for
some
would
rather
chuse
to
be
drowned,
then
not
tender
their
duty
to
her.
Thus
after
all
things
were
made
fit
and
ready,
the
Empress
began
her
Journey;
I
cannot
properly
say,
she
set
Sail,
by
reason
in
some
Part,
as
in
the
passage
between
the
two
Worlds
(which
yet
was
but
short)
the
Ships
were
drawn
under
water
by
the
Fish-men
with
Golden
Chains,
so
that
they
had
no
need
of
Sails
there,
nor
of
any
other
Arts,
but
onely
to
keep
out
water
from
entering
into
the
Ships,
and
to
give
or
make
so
much
Air
as
would
serve,
for
breath
or
respiration,
those
Land-Animals
that
were
in
the
Ships;
which
the
Giants
had
so
Artificially
contrived,
that
they
which
were
therein,
found
no
inconveniency
at
all:
And
after
they
had
passed
the
Icy
Sea,
the
Golden
Ships
appeared
above
Water,
and
so
went
on
until
they
came
near
the
Kingdom
that
was
the
Empress's
Native
Countrey;
where
the
Bear-men
through
their
Telescopes
discovered
a
great
number
of
Ships
which
had
beset
all
that
Kingdom,
well
rigg'd
and
mann'd.
