But this extraordinary Circumstance does not render the Natives one Jot happier. For as there is no Need of Labour to procure their daily Sustenance, they spend their Days in Softness, Sloth, and Luxury, and so lay the Foundation of innumerable Diseases, and untimely Deaths. The Nature of this Country affords ample Matter for our serious Reflexion; in particular it appears, from the Condition of the People, that Husbandmen, Servants and Labourers, are far happier than those, who, free from the Fatigue of providing for themselves, are devoted to Idleness and Pleasure. _Nempe inamarescunt epulæ sine fine petitæ, Illusique pedes vitiosum ferre recusant Corpus._ Hence follows a Train of vicious Actions, desperate Resolutions, and violent Deaths, which are here observ’d to be very common. For the perpetual Affluence in which they live, in Length of Time quite wears away all Taste and Sense of Pleasure, and almost infallibly introduces a downright Loathing of Life. Thus this Region, which appear’d at first like the Abodes of the Blest, was in Reality the Seat of Sorrow, and more an Object of my Compassion than my Envy. _Hoc celerare fugam, terrâque excedere jussit._ The next Province is that of _Mardak_; they are _Cypresses_, all of the same Form and Height, and differ only from each other by the different Make of their Eyes. Some have long Eyes, some square Eyes; some have small ones, others have Eyes so large as to take up the whole Space of the Forehead. Some are born with two, others with three, and some with four Eyes. There are also those who have only one Eye; and these might be reputed the Offspring of _Polyphemus_, but that their one Eye is seated in the hinder Part of the Head. And hence, according to the different Shape of their Eyes, they are divided into so many Tribes, the Names of which are as follows: 1. _Nagiri_, or those who have long Eyes, and to whom consequently every Object appears long. 2. _Naquiri_, those who have square Eyes. 3. _Talampi_, the small Eyes. 4. _Faraku_, those who have two Eyes, one of which is more oblique than the other. 5. _Mehanki_, three Eyes. 6. _Tarrasuki_, four Eyes. 7. _Harramba_, those whose Eyes occupy the Space of the whole Forehead. 8. _Skadolki_, those who have only one Eye in the hinder Part of the Head.
