Whereupon _Solyman_, seeing he could not get _Bajazet_ alive out of the _Persian_’s Hands, (who feared his Revenge, if ever he came off clear,) thought of the next thing, which was, to have him strangled there; and he hop’d to obtain his End this way, because the _Persian_ had lately acquainted him by Letter, that he had been very remiss in so great an Affair. I have sent divers Ambassadors to you, said he, but you send nothing to me but empty Letters, or Messengers; and therefore, to convince me that you are real in the Business, send considerable Ambassadors of your prime Nobility with whom I may transact, according to the greatness of the Affair. As for himself, _Bajazet_ had been a great Charge to him, before he could be taken, and therefore ’twas fit an Account should be had of those Expences. _Solyman_ thereby saw that Money was requir’d, and therefore by the Advice of his _Bashaw_, he resolved to take any other Course, rather than to involve himself in an unnecessary War with the _Persians_. Hereupon _Hassan Aga_, together with an old _Bashaw_, one of the Bed-Chamber, was sent by _Solyman_ into _Persia_. They departed with ample Commission, in the midst of Winter; they made great haste, insomuch that they lost several of their Retinue in the way: At last, they came to _Casbia_ to the _Sophia_, and desired to see _Bajazet_; they found him in a nasty filthy Prison, his Beard and Hair so long, that till he was shav’d he could hardly be known; but then _Hassan_ knew him by the lineaments of his Face, having been brought up with him from a Child, and therefore he was chosen as the fittest Person for this Embassy. It was agreed, that the _Persian_ should be repaid what he had laid out, and should have many rich Presents besides, and then _Bajazet_ was to be put to Death. _Hassan_ returns and gives an account to his Master, who thereupon sent the Expences by him, with the Gifts, which were guarded by the _Turks_ to the Confines of _Persia_. Thus _Hassan_ again returned to be the Executioner of unfortunate _Bajazet_ with his own Hand, for so _Solyman_ had commanded. When the Bow-string was about his Neck, he desired but one thing before his Death, which was, to see his Children, and to take his last farewell of them, by the only Thing he had left to give, a parting Kiss; but that was deny’d. This was the end of _Bajazet_ and his unfortunate Designs; the way he took to save himself was his Ruin. His four Children under-went the same Fate. As for the new-born Infant which he left at _Amasia_, whom his Grandfather had removed to _Persia_ to be educated there, when his Father was dead, a trusty _Eunuch_ was sent to _Persia_ to destroy him too; but the _Eunuch_ being somewhat tender-hearted, procured a certain Porter, a hard-hearted Fellow, who car’d not what desperate things he undertook, to dispatch the Child. This Fellow went into the Room, and as he was fitting the String to the Child’s Neck, the poor Infant lifted up its self as well
