illonsielif, my brother ? Why, when Crowns are
raining down on the.heada of all the family, do you
Continue unwilling to, try one on ? Doubt not that
there will be one found to fit you, since there has
been found one which fits pecfealy well. on the.
little JEROI4I3. Play the child ,no longer; but be
convinced that under existing circumstances therois
nothing' better for you than. to' be a Ki. What
are you afraid of ?Is it the toils of Stag) I will
relieve you from them, for you shall he employed
to execute my orders, Is it- the ridicule which is
attached to the elevation of an upstart ? Trust to
my power and my insolence for your guarantee.'
Do you fear the poignard of your new subjects
begin by killing them, and they will not kill you.
You see I explain myself with a frankness altoge-
ther fraternal. ' If at•length you leave off this oppo-
sition to my wishes, and to please me, consent in
good time to take up the traded King, to which
Yoli have such an ill-founded' dislike, but which
after all is not a,-bad thing, I will then give' you
those counsels which I shall enjoin you to 'fol-
low, and which we shall find to our mutual . advitit-
tage,-
" Your brother Louts is always complaining of
his kingdom as being too marshy and foggy, and
that the air is bad for his health. He has a great
longing for the Kingdom of the Latins, which I had.
destined for you, net to put-you too much out %of
your way. I have not yet, however, made up my
mind on all this, and as I shall soon have Spain and
Portugal-to dispose or, I postpone my determination
till that moment, because I shall then have where-
with to content you all.
" Enjoy, my dear LUCIAN, the repose which you
love, till the proper time arrive, Ere long, called
Iva more noble destiny, you will display to the
world a new sceptre, in the hands of a new BUONA-.
PARTE. Then forget those arts' which at present.
form your occupation, and devote your/41f to those
which you may learn by serving an apprentice Ship to
zue. Exercise the arts of intimidating and oppress-
ing mankind, by stall% their very murmurs—/ue
tilikerunt (flies. There will be nothin wanting to
Your happiness, it you'add another still more essen-
tial, and that is, the art of pleasing me.
