together, through which he made a lamentable Moan, desiring me to pity his Condition. I told him, I would give him what was enough for his Cure, and so I bestowed two Duckets upon him. He would have had more; but the _Sanziack_ told him, ’twas enough; his Misfortune was not to be charged upon me. Being thus dismissed by the _Sanziack_, I came the same Day to _Commara_, where I expected my Ague-Fit; but when the usual Period of it drew near, I found it had left me, as if a Fever, got in _Turkey_, durst not accompany me into the _Christian_ Territories. Hereupon I gave God thanks, who had both freed me of my Ague, and had also brought me safe to the end of my long and tedious Journey. Two Days after, I came to _Vienna_, where the Emperor _Ferdinand_, my most gracious Master, was not at present, only I found _Maximilian_, King of _Bohemia_, there in his Room; whole courteous Reception of me made me almost forget the Toil of my Journey. But I must tell you, I was so emaciated with my Sickness, and the Inconveniences of my Journey together, that many thought the _Turks_ had given me a poisonous Dose; for, truly, when I went lately to pay my Duty to the Arch-Duke _Ferdinand_, he asked one of his Domesticks, who I was? who answered, I was one that came lately from _Turkey_, and that it was no wonder I looked so ill, for they, who returned from those Parts, usually did so. Perhaps he was willing to have it believed, that I had taken the Emperor _Claudius_’s Dose; but, for my part, I know of no such thing; neither do I question, but after resting a while, to recover the tediousness of my Journey, I shall look as well as ever I did: I find my self something mended already. In the mean time, I acquainted the Emperor with my Return, by Letter, and of the half Year’s Truce I had obtained; and the sum of my whole Negotiation; and that, when he came home from the _Diet_, I would inform him of all Particulars more punctually and distinctly. One thing more I shall acquaint you with. There were many Persons who refused to accompany me to _Constantinople_, either for Fear, or I know not what other Motive, who wished they had given me any Money to go along with me, now they saw me return in safety. But what says he in _Plautus_? _If you will eat the Kernel, you must take the Pains to break the Nut_: He does himself Wrong, that thinks to reap part of the Fruit, who took no part of the Pains.
