possest all his thoughts he told her farther That he had so much indifference for all other Persons in the World that he would not go one step to enjoy the fairest Princess on the Earth He presented her his Friends Letter beseeching her to look into it to the end it might the better serve to justify what he told her Zaratima judging by Zouglan's Submissions and the good opinion she already had of him that he spake sincerely to her found her self less unhappy than she thought for Zouglan was overjoy'd to see her Choler dissipated and went a little after forth of her Chamber that being alone with her Women she might more easily recover out of the disorder in which he left her As soon as he was alone he made a thousand Reflexions upon his adventure which appear'd to him very singular The remembrance of what he ow'd to Ibrahim put him at first in a great perplexity It was difficult for him to resolve to fail him His particular Interest and the Sentiments he had for the fair Zaratima appeared to him of too feeble importance to hinder him from doing his Friend the Service he expected from his cares But when he represented to himself what he ow'd to Zaratima and made reflexion That he should never have known this Friend had she not given him the means by delivering him out of the danger he had been in he no longer question'd the puting himself on her side believing he embrac'd it only through a pure motive of acknowledgment The Pleasure he took in deceiving himself making him shut his Eyes against the different motives that shar'd in his Resolution he revok'd all the Orders he had already given and willing to draw some advantage from his Error he magnificently treated Zaratima causing her to be serv'd with what ever could be found most rare in Bithynia He afterward desired her to give him leave to wait upon her to Temisoüar with a Guard of five hundred Janisaries to secure her from all Attempts her extraordinary Beauty might inspire into those that should see her Zaratima was so satisfied to see that Zouglan gave not himself the Lye by any of his Actions and that she was not deceiv'd in the Advantageous Judgements she had made of him that she let him in fine understand she perceiv'd his Care and that he might assure himself she should always be dispos'd to render Justice to his Merit Zouglan who had never dar'd speak to her of his Love acquainted her that he had very passionate Sentiments for her from the first Moment he saw her making use of the strongest Expressions Love could furnish him with to demonstrate to her That his Life would be insupportable to him without the hopes he had to employ it for her Service Zaratima perswaded of his Love and mollified by these last words spake to him in very obliging Terms In the mean time she forbad him going along with her refusing also the Guard he offered her but Zouglan was too much interested in her safety to let her go without being well attended The Prohibition she had made him was to no purpose He caused her to be follow'd by thirty Janisaries of whose Fidelity and Valor he was assur'd ordering them not to leave her till she was near Temisoüar Zaratima departed very well satisfi'd with her Lovers Conduct and so far from being displeased with his not having obey'd her that the Care he had of making her be guarded tho against her Will finished the convincing her of his Passion and confirm'd her in the favorable Sentiments she already had for him So true it is That there are Occurrences in which Indiscretion passes with Ladies for Merit Zouglan in the mean time was not a little disquieted The Letter he had receiv'd from his Friend oblig'd him to give him an Account of what he had done and at the same time to set himself right in his Opinion but not being able to resolve on the making use of any Artifice to disguise the Truth to him he chose rather not to write Ibrahim some time after sent him word that he believed he had not received his Letter since he made him no Answer about a matter for which he relyed on him being throughly perswaded that he wanted not good Will to serve him when Occasion offered Zouglan without descending any farther into particulars answered him That he did him Justice in holding himself assured of the Zeal he had for his Interests About this time dy'd the Sultaness Valida which wrought a great Change in the Affairs of the Port. The Ministers who feared her had very great Respects for her not daring to decide any thing in important Matters without demanding her Advice Kislar Agasi governed within the Seragli● and stood very fair in the Grand Seignior's Opinion Cara Mustapha the Grand Visier regulated all State Affairs Ibrahim Caimacan had the Direction of the Finances subordinate to the Grand Visier and Soliman Aga Master of the Horse was the Privado of the Sultan's Pleasures and kept a perfect Intelligence with the other Ministers However as they all knew the Address of Valida and were sensible how great an Ascendant she had over the Grand Seignior's Spirit when she would give her self the Trouble to cultivate it they liv'd with great Circumspection towards her and testified to her abundance of Attachment and Respect always fearing she would cause some Revolution in favor of her second Son Soliman but after the Death of that Sultaness they no longer kept Measures with this Prince His Party became in a little time very weak and as he had not any Relation with the Ministers to advance his Creatures the most part abandoned him to follow the Grand Visier There was soon after a Discourse of War and Cara Mustapha who during the Life of Valida durst not stir from the Port declar'd That at the beginning of the Spring he would go into the Campaign at the Head of a powerful Army Zouglan who was accustomed to the Fatigues of War and to lead a Tumultuous Life very opposite to the Tranquillity in which he was with Soliman without hope of seeing his Mistress and far from Opportunities of acquiring Glory fell into a Languishment which dayly decayed his Health His Generosity and the Remembrance of what he had promised Valida obliged him to force his Temper and to suffer all the Incommodities which the Violence he did himself rendred inevitable to him but the Rumors of War which were spread about on every side awaked his first Ardor and gave him new Inquietudes He represented to himself that being engag'd in the Service of Soliman he could not abandon that Prince without offending his Honor and particularly since it was every where said That the vast Designs of Valida would come to nothing and that this Reason had already made Soliman lose many of his Creatures Zouglan was continually tormented with these Reflexions not being able to resolve either upon living any longer
