Lastly came four Coaches with six Horses a piece and his Excellencies Litter One of the Coaches was nobly guilt and furnisht which his Excellency presented with the Horses to the Grand Signior at Adrianople The Cavalcade being over we continued in Vienna till the five and twentieth of May during which time my Lord was feasted as formerly for on the twelfth he dined with Count Sincsindorff Presidente della Camera and the fifteenth with Count d' Iterstein The seventeenth my Lord went to Lauxenbourg and dining with Prince Lobkoviz waited after dinner on the Emperour and saw him Hawk at the Heron and kill four that day The nineteenth his Lordship din'd with the Marquis of Baden and on the two and twentieth he went in the Company of the Marquisses Durazzo and Pecori and his Brother to see the hot Baths some four Leagues distant from Vienna whither Persons of Quality as Earls and Countesses very frequently resort who go all together into the same Bath but with this distinction that the men keep on one side and the women on the other The men go with Drawers and their Shirts wearing black leather Caps with Buttons on the top for the easier saluting of the Ladies and Gentlemen when they come into the Bath They have several Laws and the forfeitures go to the Poor and commonly the Women are very great sticklers for exacting and leavying of the same But since I must soon leave Vienna for the five and twentieth instant is the day of our departure I think it not amiss to give you a little description of the place Vienna the Metropolis of Inferiour Austria is seated near a branch of the Danube the famousest River of Europe The Geographical latitude is forty eight degrees and twenty minutes and the longitude forty The figure of the City is not perfectly round but inclining much to it The circuit about five thousand Geometrical paces which with an easie walk may be compast in an hour and a half 'T is strong and well fortified and if as well provided of men and all things appertaining to a Siege will hardly be taken The Houses are goodly and large and commonly have great Cellars for stowage of their Wines which are in that abundance in this City that vulgarly they say and perhaps without vanity there is more Wine than Water at Vienna though the City hath many fair Fountains and Wells The said Wine is carried into Bohemia Silesia Superiour Austria and Bavaria Saltzburg and several other places By the help of their Stoves they have fresh and green Sallats in the Winter so as in a very strange season of the year when the Countrey is cover'd with Snow they have Lettices and Herbs in very great plenty in the Markets There are four great Piazzo's in the City which are beautified and adorned with Marble Fountains and Statues In one call'd by excellency The Piazzo two Fairs are yearly kept to which in great throngs from all parts of Germany the Merchants resort There are many Princes Pallaces many Religious Houses of both Sexes together with many Churches though far more conspicuous for their neatness than vastness of fabrick The Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Stephen whose Steeple is about four hundred sixty and five foot high all consisting of hewn Stone and carv'd into various figures of Men Birds and Beasts which are fastned together with Irons The Suburbs are bigger than the City not for the number of the Inhabitants which are scarce twenty thousand and the City hath fourscore thousand Souls but the largeness of the territory And though there are many wooden Houses where the poorer sort dwell yet the Monasteries and Churches may well be compared to those in the City Besides there are many fair Buildings of Princes and the richer sort of Citizens with very fine Gardens where you can desire nothing that is either for pleasure or profit But amongst all the Gardens the Empresses call'd Favorith exceeds far the rest for that in other Gardens is scattered and disperst is here found united and collected In one of the Suburbs seated in an Island of the Danube the Jews do inhabit who with Boards and a piece of a Wall are divided from the Christians that live in the said Suburbs The said Island is joyned to the City with a wooden Bridge which commonly every year is broken and thrown down by the Ice and there is a Park in it abounding with tall Trees and Herds of Deer and Bores which wander up and down in a tame and fearless manner and there is too a Walk four thousand paces long with Trees on both sides which reacheth to a place called Gruen-lusthouse Some two or three miles from the City a Structure call'd Naugebeu was erected by Rodolphus the Second which as you approach it appears not like a Garden but rather a City of Towers which together with the Walks supported by Arches is covered with Copper-plates and was built in imitation and memory of Solyman the Magnificent's Tent which he picht in that place when he came with the design of besieging Vienna Besides many things that deserve to be seen there 's a Well of a strange work out of which they draw Water with three hundred sixty and five Buckets as likewise fair Fountains with Alabaster Statues together with Lyons and Tygers kept there in a place for that purpose About the same distance from Vienna is Schoenbrun encompast with a Wall where there is a shady Wood on a pleasant ascent and a fine Plain below The House is beautified with Pictures and the Garden very curious whither the Empress retires when she goes into the Country I omit the rest as Lauxenburg Mariabrun Ebersdorffe and other sweet places as remoter from the City The Inhabitants generally speaking are courteous and affable and as well bred as any in Germany by reason of the Court and the concourse of French and Italians whose behaviour and fashion they happily emulate And many besides their own Tongue and the Latine which they speak very fluently speak Italian and French The University of Vienna renown'd through all Germany is not the least Ornament of the City it having great splendour and power For besides many Priviledges indulged by the Emperours and several Arch-Dukes it hath power of life and death not only over them that actually study but a great part of the City and
the Foot of the Duke a Wheel with a Crescent where is written as follows Hic est Sepultus Illustris Dominus Laurentius Dux de Villack Filius olim Serenissimi Domini Nicolai Regis Bosniae cum Consorte sua Catharina Anno 1500. On the fifteenth we got to Sophia the Capital City of Bulgaria where the Beglerbeg or Vice-roy of Greece most ordinarily resides by reason whereof 't is most of all inhabited by Turks The Town hath no Walls yet a thousand Horsemen met us on the way and when we enter'd into the place the Towns-men stood in Ranks in their Armes distinguish'd by their Trades in the Streets as we passed along but they had no great Guns for Towns unwalled have none During our stay here while a Courier was dispatched to Vienna the Bishop of the place changing his Habit waited on his Excellency and shew'd us the Church which was without the Town which is said to have been built above fourteen hundred years After two dayes repose we departed and quitting the Plain of Sophia discover'd Mount Rodope where Antiquity will have it that Orpheus play'd so sweetly on his Harp On the top of this Mountain seven Springs issue forth which those of the Countrey do call to this day the seven Fountains of Orpheus they imagining that the Tears which he shed for Eurydice his Wife gave beginning to those Sources This said Mountain and Mount Haemus which are joyned together separate Bulgaria from Romania called anciently Thrace and one of the six Provinces which in the Romans time was compriz'd under the common name of Dacia The other five are Moldavia Transylvania Raslia Walachia and Servia These Daci or Davi for so they are called gave 〈…〉 that Proverb Da●us sum non Aedipus The People of Bulgaria have had many Revolutions and almost beyond the Example of any other Countrey The Triballi were the first who worsted King Philip of Macedon and made him surrender the Mares he had plunder'd out of Scythia for a breed for his Thessalian Horses Secondly the Maesi Thirdly the Daci Fourthly the Romans The Goths were the fifth The Slavonians the sixth The Bulgarians the seventh The Grecians the eighth and the Turks the ninth Yet still it retaineth the name of Bulgaria from the Volgarians who came from the River Volga and by the change of V into B are called Bulgarians whose Metropolis call'd formerly Tibiscum is known now as I intimated before by the name of Sophia from a Church which Justinian the Emperour did here dedicate to Sancta Sophia As for Thrace in general before the Greeks possessed and planted it the Nation was as barbarous as any in the World They lamented the Births of their Children and sang at their Deaths yet were alwayes a fighting People and never fully subdu'd till the Romans undertook them On the eighteenth we came to Kupra-Basha the next day to Ictiman and the twentieth to Kisterfent by a very stony way Sakurambeg was next in an open and fertile Countrey whence passing the day following through Dartarbastek we arriv'd at Philippopolis This City call'd formerly Peneropolis and afterwards Philippopolis by Philip of Macedon that repair'd it is seated near a Plain of a very great extent and wash'd by the celebrated River of Hebrus now called Marissa into which the Taponiza and Caludris do empty themselves The said Hebrus is famous for the very frequent mentions the Poets make of it particularly for Orpheus who discontented in that manner for the loss of Eurydice his Wife against the whole Sex introduced the practice of Masculine Venery for which the Ciconian Matrons tore him in pieces and threw his Limbs into the River Among other things at Philippopolis they shew'd us a little Church on a hill which was dedicated to Saint Paul and 't is very memorable that but three Leagues from hence many thousands of People are spread up and down in the Villages and Towns which are called Paulini This place hath an old Tower and in it a Clock which seem'd the stranger to us since in this vast and barbarous Countrey we saw none before Not far from the City on an eminent Mountain is a very great Convent of Monks of the Grecian Religion in whose Church call'd Saint George our Mahometan Commissary caus'd the Body of Baron Kornpfeil to be buried which the Lord Hay and the Secretary of the Embassy attended to the Grave but the rest of the dead were interr'd near the Banks of the River The Wine of Philippopolis is as cheap as 't is excellent for 't is in great abundance thereabouts and preserved in Vessels of an extraordinary greatness which as I admir'd so I wonder'd at the low and little Doors of their Houses till they told me that they had them so on purpose to hinder the Turks from bringing in their Horses and turning their Dwellings into Stables And I likewise observed when we knock'd at any Door to taste and buy Wines the People within were still very shy to admit us till they first had explor'd what Company we were in so fearful they are of the Turks from whom they are subject to many affronts especially when in Wine From Philippopolis we went to Papasli whose Moschee and Caravansaria the Inn in Turky as well for Beasts as Men for Men and their Horses are under the same Roof was built by the Progenitour of the present Grand Visier The next day we came to Kiral and the third to a great Plain where because we wanted Water we went out of the way till we came to a Fountain Here malignant Feavers bloody Fluxes and other dire Diseases began to reign again which some of the Retinue had caught and contracted by visiting infectious Cottages as also by eating much Fruit and drinking Wine cooled excessively in Snow which the Turks had procured but one only dyed Here likewise while the Priest was at Mass three Bulgarians brought two Bears and a Cub which were taught to dance and wrestle at the sound of a Cymball which while some unadvisedly minded more than their Prayers the Basha that observ'd it was displeas'd in that manner that he commanded them to be beaten away On the seven and twentieth we arriv'd at Ormandli where we saw a Moschee a Caravansaria and a handsom Stone-bridge The next place was Mustapha-Basha-Cupri where there is a Royal Hau or Caravansaria which I thought to describe in my return from Constantinople for in our passage thither we say without the Towns in the open Fields in Tents or in Waggons But this Structure being Regal and the best I have seen I think it now best to acquaint the Reader with it who may easily fancy a spatious Oval Court and opposite to the Gate that leads in a high and stately Porch on both sides of which a Building as vast as magnificently cover'd with Lead is presented to the eye 'T is supported by four and twenty Pillars of Marble which are of that bigness they cannot be fathom'd and resembles
