A15357	Wilkins, George, fl. 1607.	Three miseries of Barbary: plague. famine. ciuill warre With a relation of the death of Mahamet the late Emperour: and a briefe report of the now present wars betweene the three brothers.	1607		.xml	application/xml	7680	199	59	Amongest which number I make bolde to present these my labors to you onely , because you are all Brothers , and men that most worthily can iudge of the Relation , and the truth thereof . But the King beholding death sitting in the olde Mans face at that doome , grew pittifull , and ( for loue he bare the Father ) forgaue the Sonne , which mercy notwithstanding , Abdela Creme not truely laying holde of , but mistaking the Noble spirit of a Prince , and imagining that this fauor so strangely extended was but a snare to intrap his owne life , because offences of that nature were neuer before pardoned in any : home hee comes ; with sorrow in his afflicted looks , and his heart euen murdered within him , by the cruelty of his owne thoughtes : his Sonne demaunded the cause of this so strange and suddaine distemperature , but his Father giuing no answer , sends for cordes , shewes them onely insteade of speech , and to make this dumb Tragedy fall in the end , he causeth him before his owne eyes to bee strangled : great were the lamentations of the Sonne , and aboundant were the teares he let fall to soften his Fathers heart : a mighty conflict was there in the poore old mans bosome , betweene naturall piety to a Child , and naturall feare of a Soueraigne : but the last of the two preuailed : and hauing bestowed vpon the dead body the ceremonies of the graue , according to the custome of the Countrey , hee caused the Act to bee registred downe for his owne safety , alledging that howsoeuer the Emperor ( when he heard this blacke and vnnaturall deed reported ) would happily bee moued vnto wrath , yet inwardly he would be highly contented with it .	cache/A15357.xml	txt/A15357.txt
