The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
145
Hereupon
both
the
Emperor
and
Empress
intreated
the
Duchess's
Soul
to
stay
so
long
with
them,
till
she
had
ordered
her
Theatre,
and
made
Playes
and
Farses
fit
for
them;
for
they
onely
wanted
that
sort
of
Recreation:
but
the
Duchess's
Soul
begg'd
their
Majesties
to
give
her
leave
to
go
into
her
Native
World;
for
she
long'd
to
be
with
her
dear
Lord
and
Husband,
promising,
that
after
a
short
time
she
would
return
again.
Which
being
granted,
though
with
much
difficulty,
she
took
her
leave
with
all
Civility
and
Respect,
and
so
departed
from
their
Majesties.
After
the
Duchess's
return
into
her
own
body,
she
entertained
her
Lord
(when
he
was
pleased
to
hear
such
kind
of
Discourses)
with
Foreign
Relations;
but
he
was
never
displeased
to
hear
of
the
Empress's
kind
Commendations,
and
of
the
Characters
she
was
pleased
to
give
of
him
to
the
Emperor.
Amongst
other
Relations,
she
told
him
all
what
had
past
between
the
Empress,
and
the
several
Monarchs
of
that
World
whither
she
went
with
the
Empress;
and
how
she
had
subdued
them
to
pay
Tribute
and
Homage
to
the
Monarch
of
that
Nation
or
Kingdom
to
which
she
owed
both
her
Birth
and
Education.
she
also
related
to
her
Lord
what
Magnificent
Stables
and
Riding-Houses
the
Emperor
had
built,
and
what
fine
Horses
were
in
the
Blazing-World,
of
several
shapes
and
sizes,
and
how
exact
their
shapes
were
in
each
sort,
and
of
many
various
Colours,
and
fine
Marks,
as
if
they
had
been
painted
by
Art,
with
such
Coats
or
Skins,
that
they
had
a
far
greater
gloss
and
smoothness
than
Satin;
and
were
there
but
a
passage
out
of
the
Blazing-World
into
this,
said
she,
you
should
not
onely
have
some
of
those
Horses,
but
such
Materials
as
the
Emperor
has,
to
build
your
Stables
and
Riding-Houses
withall;
and
so
much
Gold,
that
I
should
never
repine
at
your
Noble
and
Generous
Gifts.
The
Duke
smilingly
answered
her,
That
he
was
sorry
there
was
no
Passage
between
those
two
Worlds;
but,
said
he,
I
have
always
found
an
Obstruction
to
my
Good
Fortunes.
