His Death. 



WESTERN H I N D O O S T A N. 



Encouraged by Sir Paul Pindar^ whom he met with at 

 Conjlantinople in 1612, he failed for t\\Q Levant, vifited Greece^ 

 T'roy, Smyrna^ and Pgypt ; made his pilgrimage to Jerufalein ; 

 had his arm tattowed with the mark of the crofs ; £\w the Dead 

 fea ; from thence got to Alexandrette, from thence to Aleppo ; 

 arrived at Nineveh and Babylon ; reached Ifpahan. From thence 

 he proceeded to Candahar, Labor, and Agra ; there he enter- 

 tamed the great Mogul with an cldquent oration, in the Perfian 

 language, fu much to the content of that monarch, that he- 

 beftowed on him a hundred roupees. Having a wonderful faci- 

 lity in languages, he had a trial of fkill v.'ith our embaffador's- 

 laundrefs, the greatell fcold in all Agra. I'ujii attacked her in 

 her own tongue, the Hindoo, at fun-rife, and filenced her by 

 eight o'clock in the morning. He now haflened to the final. 

 conclufion of all his travels : he defcended to Surat, where he 

 was feized with a flux, that was increafed by a treat of fack, 

 given him by fome Englijlj merchants. He was a very tem- 

 perate man, but could not relift a favorite liquor, io unex- 

 pecfledly falling in his way. More of him may be {qqw in Mr.. 

 Terrfs Voyage, printed in 1665, a book of much entertain- 

 ment. But here poor Tom fell, in 1617, and here he lies be- 

 neath an Indian foil, a fecond Archytas.
