The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
134
But
before
both
the
Bird-
and
Worm-men
began
their
journey,
the
Empress
commanded
the
Bear-men
to
view
through
their
Telescopes
what
Towns
and
Cities
those
were
that
would
not
submit;
and
having
a
full
information
thereof,
she
instructed
the
Bird-
and
Bear-men
what
Towns
they
should
begin
withal;
in
the
mean
while
she
sent
to
all
the
Princes
and
soveraigns
of
those
Nations,
to
let
them
know
that
she
would
give
them
a
proof
of
her
Power,
and
check
their
Obstinacies
by
burning
some
of
their
smaller
Towns;
and
if
they
continued
still
in
their
Obstinate
Resolutions,
that
she
would
convert
their
smaller
Loss
into
a
Total
Ruin.
She
also
commanded
her
Bird-men
to
make
their
flight
at
night,
lest
they
be
perceived.
At
last
when
both
the
Bird-
and
Worm-men
came
to
the
designed
places,
the
Worm-men
laid
some
Fire-stones
under
the
Foundation
of
every
House,
and
the
Bird-men
placed
some
at
the
tops
of
them,
so
that
both
by
rain,
and
by
some
other
moisture
within
the
Earth,
the
stones
could
not
fail
of
burning.
The
Bird-men
in
the
mean
time
having
learned
some
few
words
of
their
Language,
told
them,
That
the
next
time
it
did
rain,
their
Towns
would
be
all
on
fire;
at
which
they
were
amaz'd
to
hear
Men
speak
in
the
air;
but
withall
they
laughed
when
they
heard
them
say
that
rain
should
fire
their
Towns;
knowing
that
the
effect
of
Water
was
to
quench,
not
produce
Fire.
