garrisoned　with　his　Normans；　and　unhappily　I　had　the　misfortune
  to　be　one　of　the　number。
  〃Here　we　were　confined　closer　than　I　had　been　at　Dover；　for；　as
  the　citizens　were　extremely　disaffected；　we　were　never　suffered
  to　go　without　the　walls　of　the　castle；　nor　indeed　could　we；
  unless　in　large　bodies；　without　the　utmost　danger。　　We　were
  likewise　kept　to　continual　duty；　nor　could　any　solicitations
  prevail　with　the　commanding　officer　to　give　me　a　month's　absence
  to　visit　my　love；　from　whom　I　had　no　opportunity　of　hearing　in
  all　my　long　absence。
  〃However；　in　the　spring；　the　people　being　more　quiet；　and　another
  officer　of　a　gentler　temper　succeeding　to　the　principal　command；
  I　obtained　leave　to　go　to　Dover；　but　alas！　what　comfort　did　my
  long　journey　bring　me？　　I　found　the　parents　of　my　darling　in　the
  utmost　misery　at　her　loss；　for　she　had　died；　about　a　week　before
  my　arrival；　of　a　consumption；　which　they　imputed　to　her　pining　at
  my　sudden　departure。
  〃I　now　fell　into　the　most　violent　and　almost　raving　fit　of
  despair。　　I　cursed　myself；　the　king；　and　the　whole　world；　which
  no　longer　seemed　to　have　any　delight　for　me。　　I　threw　myself　on
  the　grave　of　my　deceased　love；　and　lay　there　without　any　kind　of
  sustenance　for　two　whole　days。　　At　last　hunger；　together　with　the
  persuasions　of　some　people　who　took　pity　on　me；　prevailed　with　me
  to　quit　that　situation；　and　refresh　myself　with　food。　　They　then
  persuaded　me　to　return　to　my　post；　and　abandon　a　place　where
  almost　every　object　I　saw　recalled　ideas　to　my　mind　which；　as
  they　said；　I　should　endeavor　with　my　utmost　force　to　expel　from
  it。　　This　advice　at　length　succeeded；　the　rather；　as　the　father
  and　mother　of　my　beloved　refused　to　see　me；　looking　on　me　as　the
  innocent　but　certain　cause　of　the　death　of　their　only　child。
  〃The　loss　of　one　we　tenderly　love；　as　it　is　one　of　the　most
  bitter　and　biting　evils　which　attend　human　life；　so　it　wants　the
  lenitive　which　palliates　and　softens　every　other　calamity；　I　mean
  that　great　reliever；　hope。　　No　man　can　be　so　totally　undone；　but
  that　he　may　still　cherish　expectation：　　but　this　deprives　us　of
  all　such　comfort；　nor　can　anything　but　time　alone　lessen　it。
  This；　however；　in　most　minds；　is　sure　to　work　a　slow　but
  effectual　remedy；　so　did　it　in　mine：　　for　within　a　twelve…month　I
  was　entirely　reconciled　to　my　fortune；　and　soon　after　absolutely
  forgot　the　object　of　a　passion　from　which　I　had　promised　myself
  such　extreme　happiness；　and　in　the　disappointment　of　which　I　had
  experienced　such　inconceivable　misery。
  〃At　the　expiration　of　the　month　I　returned　to　my　garrison　at
  Exeter；　where　I　was　no　sooner　arrived　than　I　was　ordered　to　march
  into　the　north；　to　oppose　a　force　there　levied　by　the　earls　of
  Chester　and　Northumberland。　　We　came　to　York；　where　his　majesty
  pardoned　the　heads　of　the　rebels；　and　very　severely　punished　some
  who　were　less　guilty。　　It　was　particularly　my　lot　to　be　ordered
  to　seize　a　poor　man　who　had　never　been　out　of　his　house；　and
  convey　him　to　prison。　　I　detested　this　barbarity；　yet　was　obliged
  to　execute　it；　nay；　though　no　reward　would　have　bribed　me　in　a
  private　capacity　to　have　acted　such　a　part；　yet　so　much　sanctity
  is　there　in　the　commands　of　a　monarch　or　general　to　a　soldier；
  that　I　performed　it　without　reluctance；　nor　had　the　tears　of　his
  wife　and　family　any　prevalence　with　me。
  〃But　this；　which　was　a　very　small　piece　of　mischief　in　comparison
  with　many　of　my　barbarities　afterwards；　was　however；　the　only　one
  which　ever　gave　me　any　uneasiness；　for　when　the　king　led　us
  afterwards　into　Northumberland　to　revenge　those　people's　having
  joined　with　Osborne　the　Dane　in　his　invasion；　and　orders　were
  given　us　to　commit　what　ravages　we　could；　I　was　forward　in
  fulfilling　them；　and；　among　some　lesser　cruelties　（I　remember　it
  yet　with　sorrow）；　I　ravished　a　woman；　murdered　a　little　infant
  playing　in　her　lap；　and　then　burned　her　house。　　In　short；　for　I
  have　no　pleasure　in　this　part　of　my　relation；　I　had　my　share　in
  all　the　cruelties　exercised　on　those　poor　wretches；　which　were　so
  grievous；　that　for　sixty　miles　together；　between　York　and　Durham；
  not　a　single　house；　church；　or　any　other　public　or　private
  edifice；　was　left　standing。
  〃We　had　pretty　well　devoured　the　country；　when　we　were　ordered　to
  march　to　the　Isle　of　Ely；　to　oppose　Hereward；　a　bold　and　stout
  soldier；　who　had　under　him　a　very　large　body　of　rebels；　who　had
  the　impudence　to　rise　against　their　king　and　conqueror　（I　talk
  now　in　the　same　style　I　did　then）　in　defense　of　their　liberties；
  as　they　called　them。　　These　were　soon　subdued；　but　as　I　happened
  （more　to　my　glory　than　my　comfort）　to　be　posted　in　that　part
  through　which　Hereward　cut　his　way；　I　received　a　dreadful　cut　on
  the　forehead；　a　second　on　the　shoulder；　and　was　run　through　the
  body　with　a　pike。
  〃I　languished　a　long　time　with　these　wounds；　which　made　me
  incapable　of　attending　the　king　into　Scotland。　　However；　I　was
  able　to　go　over　with　him　afterwards　into　Normandy；　in　his
  expedition　against　Philip；　who　had　taken　the　opportunity　of　the
  troubles　in　England　to　invade　that　province。　　Those　few　Normans
  who　bad　survived　their　wounds；　and　had　remained　in　the　Isle　of
  Ely；　were　all　of　our　nation　who　went；　the　rest　of　his　army　being
  all　composed　of　English。　　In　a　skirmish　near　the　town　of　Mans　my
  leg　was　broke　and　so　shattered　that　it　was　forced　to　be　cut　off。
  〃I　was　now　disabled　from　serving　longer　in　the　army；　and
  accordingly；　being　discharged　from　the　service；　I　retired　to　the
  place　of　my　nativity；　where；　in　extreme　poverty；　and　frequent　bad
  health　from　the　many　wounds　I　had　received；　I　dragged　on　a
  miserable　life　to　the　age　of　sixty…　three；　my　only　pleasure　being
  to　recount　the　feats　of　my　youth；　in　which　narratives　I　generally
  exceeded　the　truth。
  〃It　would　be　tedious　and　unpleasant　to　recount　to　you　the　several
  miseries　I　suffered　after　my　return　to　Caen；　let　it　suffice；　they
  were　so　terrible　that　they　induced　Minos　to　compassionate　me；
  and；　notwithstanding　the　barbarities　I　had　been　guilty　of　in
  Northumberland；　to　suffer　me　to　go　once　more　back　to　earth。〃
  CHAPTER　XXII
  What　happened　to　Julian　in　the　person　of　a　tailor。
  〃Fortune　now　stationed　me　in　a　character　which　the　ingratitude　of
  mankind　hath　put　them　on　ridiculing；　though　they　owe　to　it　not
  only　a　relief　from　the　inclemencies　of　cold；　to　which　they　would
  otherwise　be　exposed；　but　likewise　a　considerable　satisfaction　of
  their　vanity。　　The　character　I　mean　was　that　of　a　tailor；　which；
  if　we　consider　it　with　due　attention；　must　be　confessed　to　have
  in　it　great　dignity　and　importance。　　For；　in　reality；　who
  constitutes　the　different　degrees　between　men　but　the　tailor？　the
  prince　indeed　gives　the　title；　but　it　is　the　tailor　who　makes　the
  man。　　To　his　labors　are　owing　the　respect　of　crowds；　and　the　awe
  which　great　men　inspire　into　their　beholders；　though　these　are
  too　often　unjustly　attributed　to　other　motives。　　Lastly；　the
  admiration　of　the　fair　is　most　commonly　to　be　placed　to　his
  account。
  〃I　was　just　set　up　in　my　trade　when　I　made　three　suits　of　fine
  clothes　for　king　Stephen's　coronation。　　I　question　whether　the
  person　who　wears　the　rich　coat　hath　so　much　pleasure　and　vanity
  in　being　admired　in　it；　as　we　tailors　have　from　that　admiration；
  and　perhaps　a　philosopher　would　say　he　is　not　so　well　entitled　to
  it。　　I　bustled　on　the　day　of　the　ceremony　through　the　crowd；　and
  it　was　with　incredible　delight　I　heard　several　say；　as　my　clothes
  walked　by；　'Bless　me；　was　ever　anything　so　fine　as　the　earl　of
  Devonshire？　　Sure　he　and　Sir　Hugh　Bigot　are　the　two　best　dressed
  men　I　ever　saw。'　Now　both　those　suits　were　of　my　making。
  〃There　would　indeed　be　infinite　pleasure　in　working　for　the
  courtiers；　as　they　are　generally　genteel　men；　and　show　one's
  clothes　to　the　best　advantage；　was　it　not　for　one　small
  discouragement；　this　is；　that　they　never　pay。　　I　solemnly
  protest；　though　I　lost　almost　as　much　by　the　court　in　my　life　as
  I　got　by　the　city；　I　never　carried　a　suit　into　the　latter　with
  half　the　satisfaction　which　I　have　done　to　the　former；　though
  from　that　I　was　certain　of　ready　money；　and　from　this　almost　as
  certain　of　no　money　at　all。
  〃Courtiers　may；　however；　be　divided　into　two　sorts；　very
  essentially　different　from　each　other；　into　those　who　never
  intend　to　pay　for　their　clothes；　and　those　who　do　intend　to　pay
  for　them；　but　never　happen　to　be　able。　　Of　the　latter　sort　are
  many　of　those　young　gentlemen　whom　we　equip　out　for　the　army；　and
  who　are；　unhappily　for　us；　cut　off　before　they　arrive　at
  preferment。　　This　is　the　reason　that　tailors；　in　time　of　war；　are
  mistaken　for　politicians　by　their　inquisitiveness　into　the　event
  of　battles；　one　campaign　very　often　proving　the　ruin　of
  half…a…dozen　of　us。　　I　am　sure　I　had　frequent　reason　to　curse
  that　fatal　battle　of　Cardigan；　where　the　Welsh　defeated　some　of
  king　Stephe
