The Arabs^ whofe riches are their horfes, take 

 all imaginable care of them ; they have it not in 

 their power to give them grais in their hot climate, 

 except in the fpring; their conftant food is bar- 

 ley, and that given only in the night, being never 

 fuffered to eat during the day. 



In the day-time they are kept faddled at the 

 door of the tent, ready for any excurfion their maf-
