The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
3
Noble
Ladies,
Your
Humble
Servant,
M.
Newcastle.
The
Description
of
a
New
World,
Called
The
Blazing-World.
A
Merchant
travelling
into
a
foreign
Country,
fell
extreamly
in
Love
with
a
young
Lady;
but
being
a
stranger
in
that
Nation,
and
beneath
her,
both
in
Birth
and
Wealth,
he
could
have
but
little
hopes
of
obtaining
his
desire;
however
his
Love
growing
more
and
more
vehement
upon
him,
even
to
the
slighting
of
all
difficulties,
he
resolved
at
last
to
Steal
her
away;
which
he
had
the
better
opportunity
to
do,
because
her
Father's
house
was
not
far
from
the
Sea,
and
she
often
using
to
gather
shells
upon
the
shore
accompanied
not
with
above
two
to
three
of
her
servants
it
encouraged
him
the
more
to
execute
his
design.
Thus
coming
one
time
with
a
little
leight
Vessel,
not
unlike
a
Packet-boat,
mann'd
with
some
few
Sea-men,
and
well
victualled,
for
fear
of
some
accidents,
which
might
perhaps
retard
their
journey,
to
the
place
where
she
used
to
repair;
he
forced
her
away:
But
when
he
fancied
himself
the
happiest
man
of
the
World,
he
proved
to
be
the
most
unfortunate;
for
Heaven
frowning
at
his
Theft,
raised
such
a
Tempest,
as
they
knew
not
what
to
do,
or
whither
to
steer
their
course;
so
that
the
Vessel,
both
by
its
own
leightness,
and
the
violent
motion
of
the
Wind,
was
carried
as
swift
as
an
Arrow
out
of
a
Bow,
towards
the
North-pole,
and
in
a
short
time
reached
the
Icy
Sea,
where
the
wind
forced
it
amongst
huge
pieces
of
Ice;
but
being
little,
and
leight,
it
did
by
the
assistance
and
favour
of
the
gods
to
this
virtuous
Lady,
so
turn
and
wind
through
those
precipices,
as
if
it
had
been
guided
by
some
experienced
Pilot,
and
skilful
Mariner:
But
alas!
