A64809	The history of the Sevarites or Sevarambi, a nation inhabiting part of the third continent commonly called Terræ australes incognitæ with an account of their admirable government, religion, customs, and language / written by one Captain Siden, a worthy person, who, together with many others, was cast upon those coasts, and lived many years in that country.; Histoire des Sevarambes. English	Allais, Denis Vairasse d', ca. 1630-1672.; Roberts, A., 17th cent.	1675 (1675)	Wing V20; ESTC R13659	118,902	302

The ingenious Sevarites therefore have found an Art to convey this great River in an artificial Chanel built and supported upon an Arch of hard Diamant stone above two miles from one Hill to the other over a deep Valley into which the River did run before but because the Valley was not so wholesom an Air as the top of the Mountain they have built there their houses and been at the trouble to make for the River an artificial Chanel so deep that Boats of an hundred Tun can sail up and down in the driest time of Summer for there is scarce any mud or dirt in the Chanel over the Valley the water is as clear as Crystal In another Town called Runtour there was a company of Apes met us at the entry in of the Town they were so bold that they leapt upon the backs of our Dromedaries and put us in no little danger to be cast to the ground But one of our Philosophers pulled out of his pocket a strange Talisman of a yellow colour through which there was a hole which he clapt to his lips and whistled away the Apes They were not gone ten paces from us but they all fell down dead with the venemous Spirits which this Talisman conveyed to them without hurting any creature else for you must know that what is a poyson to one creature is not so to another and these skillful men so well read in the secret Mysteries of Nature can direct their operations which way they please at a distance as well as near at hand The King of the Sevarites hath always one or more of these Philosophers to accompany him when he goes into the Country for fear any accident might happen to his Person or Retinue We found a plentiful Dinner prepared for us at Nanti where the Ladies of the Town waited upon Sevarminas at the Table and came to the rest of his Company to offer their Services The Governors name was Forabo an old grave Signior near fourscore years of age he had twenty Sons comely and proper young men with five Daughters all by one Woman whose name was Pluralis she was then a grave Matron of a beautiful and grave countenance her Daughters young Ladies followed her when she came to salute Sevarminas and his Lords We made no long stay in this place but marched next to the Mount Timpani but could not get thither till the next day at night we lodged therefore in the Town of Durambi and the next day early in the morning we set forward in our Journey to mount Timpani where we arrived about Sun-set There happened nothing in this days riding remarkable only Maurices Dromedary being offended that he had kicked her with his heel cast him to the ground and bruised his thigh and arm but the Kings Physician applying an Herb called Muroz which he found in the fields hard by cured the wound eased him presently of his pain so that he never complained afterwards The nature of these creatures is such that they must be gently dealt withal otherwise they become furious and mad but if the Rider handles them softly there is no beast so gentle so easie and useful Mount Timpani is a pleasant Hill crowned on the top with all manner of the most beautiful Trees in Nature bearing all sorts of Fruits In the midst is the Kings Palace moted round The water runs from six great Fountains which are on the top of the Hill unto which there is an easie ascent on the side of the Hill about half a mile from the Castle is a Town of the same name very glorious to the eye when the Sun shines The Castle or the Kings Palace is about a mile in circumference with strong Walls of clear stones of a white and reddish colour such as I never saw the like before It was well furnished with all manner of Houshold-stuff the richest that I ever beheld the large and spacious Rooms Chambers and Halls and Galleries with their Ornaments were not to be numbered At our first arrival the Governor of the Town with the chief Inhabitants came to wait upon their King who shewed them a great deal of respect as belonged to his loving Subjects All this while he had concealed the cause of his Journey to that place and would not let any person not his own Son nor any of his Privy Counsellors understand any thing of it till three or four days after our arrival for it becomes a great Prince who intends to act securely in weighty matters not to let any man not his greatest Friends know his intentions to the full Sevarminas having here a great business to put in execution which concerned nothing less than the safety and peace of his Empire he concealed it from all the world and gave out that he would make this Progress for his pastime and for his health The Governors name was Smuriamnas a man of an ancient Family lineally descended from the great Sevarias but young and very ambitious and no less proud and haughty amongst his Equals which caused his People not to affect him so much as otherwise they would have done At our arrival he came to pay his Homage and Respects to Sevarminas his Prince and the next day invited him and all the Court to a costly and sumptuous Banquet I and my Companions together with Sermodas and Zidi Parabas were lodged in a spacious Chamber where were twenty Beds of Ivory and Gold with curious Curtains of Silk embroidered with Gold with the Walls hung with Pictures very well and artificially drawn After Supper we went to take our leaves of King Sevarminas and were immediately conducted to our Chamber where we rested sweetly till the next morning the noise of the Trumpets Bag-pipes Flutes Viols and Violins Harps Guitars and all manner of Musick played at the Kings rising This pleasant and ravishing Harmony awakened us and our Chamber-fellows and obliged us to put on our Apparel We walked about the Chamber a while discoursing of the strange passages of our Journey when in came a Messenger from the King to call us to him He had an intent to walk about his Parks and view the Town before Dinner He was therefore willing that we Strangers might go along with him not only for our satisfaction but also to shew his People men of foreign Nations come to adore and worship him The Parks were all walled round with many Lakes Ponds Rivers and Streams of Water full of all manner of wild and tame Fowl with all sorts of Beasts Deer of all kinds Rabbets Hares and a sort of Creature named Buffoli which hath no joynts in its fore-legs and nevertheless runs as swift as any other beast In the Parks we had the sight of many Trees and Woods where the Birds and wild Fowl and Beasts use to shelter themselves After this Walk we marched into the Town all our Company where the Governor at the entrance received us with his Family but the Citizens with the

order of the List and found out the Fellow by the want of his Sword He was immediately apprehended and brought to his trial We asked him What was the reason he was come into the field without his Sword To which he answered boldly He came without because he had none Had you never any in this Camp said I to him Yes Sir I had one Yesterday What have you done with it I lent it last night to one who was to go to Sea this morning for it was true that a Party of Maurice his men were gone early in the morning to some of the Islands Then we asked him What the mans name was he lent his Sword to I do not know his name said he although I lent him my Sword and did sometimes converse with him as I do indifferently with any one in this Camp where I know every one by his face although I am ignorant of the names of most men in the Company and I do think that it is the case of every man here as well as mine Then I asked him Whether he was a Seaman or a Passenger he lent his Sword to He was a Seaman and told me he had lost his own Sword when he borrowed mine and because he would not have it known that he had lost his Weapon he intreated me to let him have mine upon his urgent occasian Then did we send for the Sword with which the fact had been committed and asked him Whether he knew that Sword He readily answered He might very well know it since he had wore it ever since I trained up all the men of the Camp into a Military Discipline whereof himself was one Sir saith he This is my Sword and the very same I lent last night to him that borrowed it of me How came this Sword to be found in the bodies of the two wounded persons if your hands did not thrust it through them And please you General it doth not follow that I thrust it into their bodies because it is my Sword he that had it of me might use it to commit that cruelty instead of using his own thereby to shake off all suspition from himself and lay the guilt on me I confess that there are many apparent Arguments against my Innocency but I am sure there is no evident proof and I hope you will never find any After this strict examination finding we could not convince this Fellow till Maurices Crew were come from Sea we deferred his trial until another time But it fell out by fortune that the men of the Boat being upon one of the Sandy Islands where they turn Tortoises and some of them having a mind to swim went into the Sea to wash and cool themselves in that Element and as some were more forward than others a great Shark snapped the forwardest of the Company who being warned by that dreadful example got out of the water with all the hast possible The Story of this fatal accident as likewise the description of the person who had been devoured came to the knowledge of the Prisoner we had examined before we could bring him to a second trial When he was tried again he cunningly catching hold on the opportunity said confidently That he had lent his Sword to him who was devoured of whose Face and Person he made a very exact description in our presence So that we could not do any good nor bring any evident proof against him We all admired his confidence and subtilty and hearing that the wounded persons were like to be well again we were contented to keep him in bonds till they were both out of danger The woman was soonest well and here you may admire the humour of some of that Sex As soon as she was cured she came to the young man who had wounded her and expressed the greatest love to him that can be imagined under pretence that she had been the cause of all his trouble But I think the true reason was that she looked upon this Fellow as a man well in his body having never been wounded and who consequently was far more vigorous than her other Gallant who had lately received a large wound through the body This accident occasioned new Laws and new Customs We considered that as long as we had Women among us they would be the occasion of trouble and mischief if we did not betimes take some good course and allow our men the liberty of using them sometimes in an orderly manner But we had but seventy four women and above three hundred men and therefore could not give every man a Wife We consulted long upon a Method and at last pitched upon this We allowed the principal Officers each of them one woman wholly for himself with the priviledge of chusing according to his rank The rest we distributed into several divisions and ordered it so that every man who was not past fifty years of Age might have his woman-bedfellow every fifth night we laid aside the old men and the four Wives that were going to their Husbands in Batavia and who professed to be very chaste and honest These kept together and lived a while very reserved but when they saw that all the other women lay freely every night with a man without incurring any blame and that the relief we expected from Batavia was long a coming they began to grow melancholy and to repent that they had chosen chastity for their share by which means they were deprived alone of those delights and pleasures which they saw all the other women take so freely and so plentifully They shewed their discontented minds by a hundred actions and they nor we were never quiet till we had distributed them among the rest and then they were satisfied Here we had a very great proof that multiplicity of men to one woman is no friend to Generation for few of these women who were common to five men proved with Child and on the contrary all those who lay but with one man presently got a great belly I think that is the natural reason why multiplicity of Husbands was never allowed in any Nation although Poligamy of Wives and Concubines was ever used and is still practised in most Countries Now the time was come that we were to set up the Signal we agreed upon with the eight men of the first Pinnace sent to Batavia I therefore commanded our men to chuse in the Forrest a tall and streight tree to set it up at the head of the Cape with a white Sail the largest we had which was done accordingly I commanded also a great fire to be made every night at the same place that the Ships sent to our relief might see it in the dark and take their aim by that We were in good hopes that the Pinnace was got to Batavia without any great difficulty considering the good weather we had had and that the General would send us relief with all the diligence possible But God it seems

been of the same temper the Indies had always been unknown to the European People and we should again burn such as dare affirm that there is a Jamaica or an America a World under us Our Nation heretofore and the French Court lost the advantage which the Spaniard hath well improved through incredulity It is therefore good in all such cases as this to weigh the Reasons and Arguments on both sides and to judge of the probabilities of this Country If any thing is here related of this Country or People seemingly beyond all possibility we must know that as this People have the advantage of living in the earthly Paradise they have knowledges of Nature and natural Effects which look like Miracles Captain Siden and his Dutch Camrades visited many places and saw some other Islands thereabouts which are as full of Curiosities as those we have here taken notice of But that this Relation might not be too voluminous and the Account too tedious to the ingenious Reader I thought fit to set some of his Papers aside and speak only of the chief Country of the Sevarites hoping that these lines may give some an incouragement when they are at Cap de bon Esperanza to direct their Course a little out of the way and to visit this Country which lies Southwest and by South from the Point If the Charge and Danger don't discourage them doubtless some brave generous Soul may get to himself an immortal Name and Wealth enough to pay his Charges if he returns as safe as Captain Siden did However I wish that this Narrative may give you all as much satisfaction as you can desire or wish for THE SECOND PART OF THE HISTORY OF THE SEVARITES AT the foot of the great Mountains we rested three days upon the Borders of Sevarambè in a little Town called by the Inhabitants Cola from the delightsomness of the place for it stands upon a small Rising and is watered by three pleasant Rivers Banon Caru and Silkar which render the ground thereabouts extraordinary fruitful beyond all credit to a miracle For some have told me that they have usually in their fields every year four Crops of Corn because the ground wants neither heat nor humidity to bring forth and is never parched with the drought of Summer for here as well as in all the Kingdom of Sevarambè they know no difference between Summer and Winter unless it be by the course of the Sun and Stars which draw nearer to or farther from the Northern and Southern Poles Sermodas had here many old Acquaintances and particularly a she-friend who caused us to stay in this place longer than we purposed at first For our great expectation and earnest desire was to pass over the Mountains into Sevarambè to injoy the delights of that Paradise on Earth But whiles Sermodas was diverting himself one way he caused some Divertisement to be given us another way that our abode there might not seem too tedious He intreated some of the chief of the place to shew us their Gardens of Pleasure and to lead us out into the Fields to hunt the Ostrich with Beagles and Grey-hounds or Dogs not much unlike that sort which we have in Europe This Hunting was performed in Parks where this sort of Game was kept for Diversion The pleasure that it afforded to us and the extraordinary actions which were thereby represented caused us not to think the time long or our abode in that place tedious though we were in great expectation of injoying sweeter Delights beyond the Mountains in a Country so far excelling all others in the World according to the relation which had been given to us It is the usual custom of all Travellers that pass often through this Town to have a she-Comrade with whom they are wont to spend some days For in the Country of Sevarambè such kind of natural delights are not allowable by the Laws of the Country nor agreeable with the strict lives and sewere Customs of the Inhabitants nor with the nature of the Air for at the first entertainment of inordinate lust such disorder happens in the blood and veins of men that their countenances are immediately changed and their skins are covered with Boils and Scabs chiefly their Noses which have so great a correspondency with the noble Members For this cause the Inhabitants of Sevarambè abominate the least sign of all lasciviousness I never was amongst a more temperate and orderly Generation All Passengers therefore use to make a due preparation before they can or are admitted to pass over the Mountains At this Town of Cola therefore Travellers stop to refresh themselves with those delights which are only allowable in Sporumbe After three days rest Sermodas had provided all things needful for our passing over the Mountains some Provisions and Carriages We had to each man of us an Unicorn appointed to carry us This Creature by the skill of the Sporvi are brought to be as tame as our Horses They seemed to me far stronger and more swift and so sure footed that though we climbed over Rocks and Mountains there was none of them seen so much as to stumble or fall Instead of a Bit and Bridle we held in our hands a silken cord tyed to the horn which was in the front of the Beast and at the least motion it would bend and turn and go a swifter or slower pace according to our desire I inquired several things concerning this Animal which I could never hear of in all Europe Sermodas gave me great satisfaction and informed me of its nature properties and excellent qualities so that I had brought some over with me into my own Country had not this transportation been forbidden by the Law of that place We took our leaves of Cola about noon after a plentiful Dinner An Unicorn of a Chestnut colour with many black spots on the right side and white on the left was prepared for me to mount upon At the first when I saw the nimbleness of the Beast I was afraid to venture my self upon it and could not be perswaded to make any use of it till Sermodas assured me that it was one of the gentlest Creatures in the World and so extraordinary swift that we passed over the Mountains through uneven ways into Severambè in a day and a half being near threescore or fourscore miles These Mountains are not inhabited by any other thing but Lions Tygers Panthers and such wild and ravenous Beasts as care not much for the society of men We had the sight of many thousands of them in our way and saw the Roman Sports of their Theatres and Amphitheatres in the bottoms when we were on the side of the Hills for there we met with these surious Beasts contending for their prey Two Bears were devouring an unhappy Deer which by chance was by them surprised in Thicket or Bush of Brambles They had no sooner seized upon it and overcome it but in steps the Lion to share

Zidi Parabas made me get up to hear their Pleading but I understood not their Language only Sermodas gave me an account of some passages The crime was not to be denied which caused them both to look ashamed because they had forgotten all honesty and lost their honour The Judge asked them many questions All the cruel Lawyers cryed to punish her with death because she had not given them any thing to plead for her but the young man had got a bawling Lawyer to speak for him when his crime came to be examined but all would not do he would have made the Judge believe that this Excrescence in his sace was only a natural deformity proceeding from some other inward cause and not from Lust But the Judge a wise and brave man of the Court of Sevarminas convinced him of his errour and made him at last confess that the Girl had inticed him with her bewitching Looks In conclusion of the Tryal the lecherous couple were sent to the Island of Whores and Rogues where they were to live confined for ever from all friends and acquaintances and to spend their life in lust and debauchery a sufficient punishment as they imagined for their forgetfulness I took no great delight amongst the Lawyers for I looked upon this place as the Hell in the midst of the earthly Paradise of the Sevarites After these two Fornicators had been judged and condemned to perpetual banishment where nevertheless they live in great plenty there was brought before the Judge a Thief a sneaking Fellow differing in looks as well as in manners from the rest of the Sevarambi The Judge whose name was Zidi Morasco commanded him to be examined before him by a crafty Lawyer And it was proved plain against him that he had stole some Jewels and Gold from his Neighbour with some Garments of Cloth of Silver covered over with precious Stones of a great value The Fellows countenance since this deed was mightily changed for every wicked action especially amongst the Sevarites alters the countenances of men The Eyes being the windows of the Soul through them it discovers all the inward thoughts fears apprehensions and displeasures that rowl in the breast Besides the Thieves have here in this Country a mark which immediately appears upon their Chins and Cheeks a black spot very ugly to the eye This Fellow also was adjudged unworthy to live any longer amongst the religious Sevarites I asked Sermodas why the Sevarambi suffered the Lawyers who I told him in our Country were generally none of the best men in the World What! said he have you any there Yes said I to our sorrow we cannot be quiet for them Captain replied he I must tell you were it not for these Fellows the Sevarites would not be able to live so quiet as they do nor so innocent as in all other Countries fear as well as shame must keep men in awe and in the performance of their duties to their Neghbours and Superiours And though men are not here so inclinable to wickedness as in Europe because they proceed from another stock and generation of men yet the pleasures of the Country together with the inticements of some subtle Devils whom we cannot always perceive many may be brought to do what is contrary to Law Reason Equity and Justice It is therefore for the publick Good that these men are living amongst us And though they are as bad as those whom they plead against they are here confined in these and such like Cells where there is a publick provision made for them to keep them from running up and down to breed disturbances Such amongst them as are honest good and merciful men are highly esteemed but they are very rare and if they were known to be honest and good men amongst the Lawyers the rest would not suffer them to come near the Bar but would banish them out of their Society and deprive them of all manner of Practice and liberty of Pleading The greater Knaves they are the more esteemed amongst the Lawyers though less valued by the rest of the Sevarites Therefore to keep up their credit amongst both is a hard Chapter and not to be done without some kind of dissimulation on some side With that he pointed at a great fat Fellow who stood up in Court to see and look for his Clients Do you see said he that Knave Do you see him I turned my eyes towards him and beheld him stedfastly and asked what he was He is said Sermodas one of the chief Attornies of this Court a cunning Fellow his name is Rekrap a wicked Villain and a great Oppressor of poor Fellows that fall into his hands After the Court had examined and tryed all the Causes the Lawyers departed to their Dens and Zidi Parabas taking me by the hand led me to the Shambles of the City and to view all the Excellencies of that Noble place As I was passing one of their Temples I intreated him to give me a sight of that which I judged to be a Rarity or rather full of Rarities for it was so glorious without that I could not but think that the inside was far more rich and splendid Zidi Parabas made some difficulty to yield to my request but Sermodas perswaded him to grant it at last when he had asked me some questions concerning the Religion of our Country Are you not said he desiled with Idolatry I mean with the Worshipping of Images for I must tell you that this is a great abomination amongst the Sevarambi We have Pictures and Images in our Houses but none in our Temples we adore a great and glorious Being the Creator and Author of this earthly Paradise he is an infinite Spirit not to be consined within our walls therefore our Temples are open on the top when we are at our Devotions He is not to be likened to any outward Image or Representation therefore our ever blessed Sevarias commanded us to have no Images in our Temples nor to liken God to any Creature or Representation visible to the eye If therefore you have never dishonoured your self with such kind of practices you may be admitted to see and walk in our Temples I thanked him for his kind condescension and assured him that though it was a wickedness that many Nations in Europe were guilty of yet our Country-men abominate such kind of follies and that for my own particular I never was of that Religion which allows of Idolatry and Worshipping of Images When he understood this he walked to the great Gate of the chief Temple where he met with a grave Priest standing at the door unto whom he declared our business the Priest took me by the hand and in Spanish told me that I should see the Temple of his God I walked round and saw so many glorious Sights and such extraordinary Riches that all Europe together cannot produce the like The Priests name was Ziribabdas I desired him to tell me something

of the excellent Wines of the Country to be brought he caused some to be poured forth into a great shell of a Fish which is the ordinary Drinking vessels of that Country He caused us to taste of it and obliged all the company before we went out to pledge us which when we had done Zidi Parabas led us to the door where we saw as many Dromedaries ready sadled as we were men we mounted upon them that were prepared for us but when I inquired for a Bridle they bid me take hold of the Ears for in this Country these Creatures have Ears of an incredible length they are commonly an Ell long but very slender so that they are fastened together as the Reins of a Bridle at the end with a Clasp or some such thing This men hold in their hands and with this they govern or turn them at their pleasure I must confess I was afraid when I was first mounted upon this strange beast which is so swift that in a day we rid over hedges and ditches and uneven places above one hundred and fifty miles We went through the streets to the Kings Palace where we attended not long before there came out a great Train with Sevarminas himself I and my Companions alighted to salute and do him reverence He inquired how we had thrived whether we wanted any thing we assured him that amongst so courteous and obliging a People as his Subjects were we thought that we could not possibly want any manner of thing needful for the life of man He bid us get up again and ride along with him we were in all near a thousand all on swift Dromedaries the Kings was as white as Snow all the rest either red or black It seems Sermodas had given the King an account of the passages of the former day so that to increase the more our wonder he was resolved to shew us the excellency of his Country and many other rare things for that purpose he had appointed in our Road towards the Confines all the ingenious men to meet us at every Town with their Talismans in their hands ready to shew us their skill and sport We had not gone above two Leagues Southward but we came to a Town called by the Sevarites Magmandi where thirty Philosophers met the King and to welcome him they had a Talisman ready to make a Louse grow in an instant as big as a Camel I saw the beast and admired how such things could be done by a man and as they told me that they did it by the natural causes alone without the concurrence of any other thing As soon as the Philosopher had turned the Louse into a Camel he mounted upon it and offered his service to Sevarminas to wait upon him in his Progress which was accepted And if I should say that this strange Camel gallopped or rather flew as fast as any of our Dromedaries scarce any person will believe it yet true it is that this new-made creature led the way before us and returned back with 〈…〉 the wing no signs of being weary in 〈…〉 Provender the Philosopher had 〈…〉 himself with a bottle of Spirits 〈…〉 he would sometimes as I took 〈…〉 pour into the Camels Ears and-by that means kept the beast alive and vigorous Another of these Philosophers had got a Flea in his hand which with an Image of Wax he turned into a Dromedary so like that which the King was upon that I could not tell how to distinguish them I saw the Flea which he held in a silken string he shewed it to all our company and before us by an application of the Talismanical Figure the Flea began to dilate it self into the body of a Camel and out of the body the legs and ears and head broke out almost like a Snail when it goes to creep or like a Tortoise All this was done in less than a quarter of an hour He also had a Saddle ready to ride along with us in the company of the King and his Nobles I confess I took these two Learned Sevarites for Conjurers if not for Devils in mens shape When Zidi Parabas perceived in our way that Maurice whispered to me he drew near to me and assured me that they could do more wonderful Feats than that by their great Art and that what they had done was done by the secret power of natural causes set on work by the influence of the Talisman I told him that I could wish that we in our Country had the same skill and knowledge but he answered That such Mysteries are not fit but for men of the most refined Wits and that no dull or vicious apprehensions can be capable of the sublime Notions that such men must have to act such Wonders and to find out the way to make such strange Talismans Another of these Philosophers who stood within some golden Rails adjoyning to the High-way had in his hand a naked Image of Wax representing a young Girl which Image he turned about his head with some hard words which he uttered out of his mouth and immediately there came to the place all the young Maidens within a certain distance and threw off their garments with their modesty in my judgment but the religious Sevarites are not ashamed to behold what Nature teaches other men to cover These Maidens leaped over the Rails about threescore in number and began a most pleasant Dance upon the green grass before all our company the Philosopher having appointed a Musician ready for that purpose who played all the while upon his Instrument of Musick according to which these Maidens leaped and danced up and down which gave Sevarminas much sport and to all his Court but when the Philosopher began to turn away and cover the waxen Image they took all their garments again and departed with much satisfaction because they had given some delight to their Prince whom all the Sevarites reverence as they do a visible God they are therefore very joyful when they can do any thing to please and delight him The rest of the Philosophers shewed every one in his turn what he was able to do One held a Mouse by the tail in one hand and his Talisman in the other and threw the Mouse behind Sevarminas upon his Dromedary which as soon as it was there but a moment it had the power to attract one of the most beautiful Virgins whom I saw straggling behind the King This thing caused the whole company to burst out in laughter for she was just putting on her Apparel with the rest of her Companions when the Talisman tyed her hands and feet and drew her on a sudden so that she was seen to leap all naked through the midst of us behind the King where she remained till the Philosopher drew her back with the Talisman and caused her to put on her cleaths and depart Another of these Makers of Talismans was blowing with a Pipe at the breech of a
