of which is represented, a combat
between the king Of Persia and the
king Of the Indies; the latter of
whom, according to the tradition of

I Solyman proceeded with hts friend
to the mountain, much delighted, as
well with the extraordinary appear
ahce of the work, as the uncommon
beauty ofthe plains that were spread
on either hand beneath, interspersed
with villas shaded by trees, exten-
sive meadows, and pastures filled
with hocks. When they had graft
fed their curiosity, and indulged
their speculations, they proceeded
on their journey. and in short time
arrived at the gulf Of Bassora.
The. Merchant, having here found
the vessel he expected, told Solyman
that if his inclination led him to Eu-
rope, he could accommodate him
at the same time, that his own af-
fairs would detain him some years
longer in Persia. Solyman, whose
heart was firmly attached to the Mer-
chant, long hesitated between friend
ship and curiosity: however, as he
must have parted with him had he
continued his travels in Asia, and,
was not totally witho out hopes ofsee-
ing him in what he called the new
world, he determined to accept his
offer.
AS the ship was to remain some
time in the gulf, Solyman took the
opportunity to make the tour Of In
dia. In his way he visited the isle
of Ormus, than which no part ofna-
ture wears more dismal appear
ance. Excepting a few houses,
which make the capital of the place
the whole looks like a heath blasted
by lightning, CT burnt up by design :
yet here, in this scene of dreary des-
olation, Solyman had the motif
fication to meet with an exile from
