Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sentimental Connoisseur: Or, the Beauty and Folly of Virtue and Vice Displayed, in a Curious Collection of Moral and Entertaining Miscellanies, in Prose and Verse Filled with the generous principles of virtue and beneficence, he was not contented with enjoying happiness himself, but desirous of extending it to all the human race. He always pitched his tents within sight of some principal road, that the very traveller might find refremment, and rest securely after the toils of the day. Among the rest that visited the hospitable tents of Barcas, was Selim, prince of Aden, who had been driven from his country by the Sophi of Persia. His countenance was clouded with cares and disappointments, and his attention wholly employed in meditating on his misfortunes. Barcas received the unfortunate stranger with that cordial affection, which had endeared him to all the inhabitants of the neighbouring countries. He treated him in the most hospitable manner, and endeavoured, by a chearful and engaging conversation, to banish that melancholy which preyed upon his mind; but finding all his endeavours fruitless, he thus addressed the Prince of Aden. "Some misfortune, heavier than those common to the sons of men, has doubtless fallen upon thee, and thy spirits are unable to support the ponderous weight. But tell me, thou that hast crank deep of the cup of affliction, is it impossible to remove the cause of thy grief, or to mitigate thy sorrow? Is the dart of affliction pierced so far into thy breast that it cannot be drawn, and is the wound too deep to admit of a cure?
