The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
142
At
last
the
Empress
arrived
into
the
Blazing-World,
and
coming
to
her
Imperial
Palace,
you
may
sooner
imagine
than
expect
that
I
should
express
the
joy
which
the
Emperor
had
at
her
safe
return;
for
he
loved
her
beyond
his
Soul;
and
there
was
no
love
lost,
for
the
Empress
equal'd
his
Affection
with
no
less
love
to
him.
After
the
time
of
rejoicing
with
each
other,
the
Duchess's
Soul
begg'd
leave
to
return
to
her
Noble
Lord:
But
the
Emperor
desired,
that
before
she
departed,
she
would
see
how
he
had
employed
his
time
in
the
Empress's
absence;
for
he
had
built
Stables
and
Riding-Houses,
and
desired
to
have
Horses
of
Manage,
such
as,
according
to
the
Empress's
Relation,
the
Duke
of
Newcastlehad:
The
Emperor
enquired
of
the
Duchess,
the
Form
and
Structure
of
her
Lord
and
Husband's
Stables
and
Riding-House.
The
Duchess
answer'd
his
Majesty,
That
they
were
but
plain
and
ordinary;
but,
said
she,
had
my
Lord
Wealth,
I
am
sure
he
would
not
spare
it,
in
rendring
his
Buildings
as
Noble
as
could
be
made.
Hereupon
the
Emperor
shewed
the
Duchess
the
Stables
he
had
built,
which
were
most
stately
and
magnificent;
among
the
rest,
there
was
one
double
Stable
that
held
a
Hundred
Horses
on
a
side,
the
main
Building
was
of
Gold,
lined
with
several
sorts
of
precious
Materials;
the
Roof
was
Arched
with
Agats,
the
sides
of
the
Walls
were
lined
with
Cornelian,
the
Floor
was
paved
with
Amber,
the
Mangers
were
Mother
of
Pearl;
the
Pillars,
as
also
the
middle
Isle
or
Walk
of
the
Stables,
were
of
Crystal;
the
Front
and
Gate
was
of
Turquois,
most
neatly
cut
and
carved.
The
Riding-House
was
lined
with
Saphirs,
Topases,
and
the
like;
the
Floor
was
all
of
Golden-Sand
so
finely
sifted,
that
it
was
extreamly
soft,
and
not
in
the
least
hurtful
to
the
Horses
feet,
and
the
Door
and
Frontispiece
was
of
Emeralds
curiously
carved.
