e Inch of the World would
give him more Happiness than all the Universe could do; and she vow'd it
was a Palace, while adorned with the Presence of _Oroonoko_.

_Trefry_ was infinitely pleased with this Novel, and found this
_Clemene_ was the fair Mistress of whom _Caesar_ had before spoke; and
was not a little satisfy'd, that Heaven was so kind to the Prince as to
sweeten his Misfortunes by so lucky an Accident; and leaving the Lovers
to themselves, was impatient to come down to _Parham-House_ (which was
on the same Plantation) to give me an Account of what had happened.
I was as impatient to make these Lovers a Visit, having already made
a Friendship with _Caesar_, and from his own Mouth learned what I have
related; which was confirmed by his _Frenchman_, who was set on shore
to seek his Fortune, and of whom they could not make a Slave, because

their Bodies, that it looks as if it were japan'd, the Works being
raised like high Point round the Edges of the Flowers. Some are only
carved with a little Flower, or Bird, at the Sides of the Temples, as
was _Caesar_; and those who are so carved over the Body, resemble our
antient _Picts_ that are figur'd in the Chronicles, but these Carvings
are more delicate.

From that happy Day _Caesar_ took _Clemene_ for his Wife, to the general
Joy of all People; and there was as much Magnificence as the Country
could afford at the Celebration of this Wedding: And in a very short
Time after she conceived with Child, which made _Caesar_ even adore her,
knowing he was the last of his great Race. This new Accident made him
