to retaliate his Enemies what in his Friends he had formerly fuffered. Normal (now

fo that by the advice of Mahobets Council of War the poor Qaeen was condemned to
lofe her head. Not till then did Ihe perceive the thorny path me had walked in, nor
ifleditated upon the mutability of Fortune *, nor till then could fhe frame her ambitious
heart to fear or fervitude: But feeing no remedy, armsherfelf with patience and craves
a farewel of her Lord, to whom after much entreaty (he is admitted •, where Ihe pro-
ftrates her felf cloathed with fo much forrow, that Jangheer melts into compaffion and
intreats Mahokt for her freedome. Mahohet loth in any thing to difcontent his Mafter,
condefcends *, fo that (contrary to the advice of his confederates) Normal was fet at
liberty * But to {hew that none is more thirfty after revenge than that Sex, ihe becomes
more enraged by this lenity, and fpeedily puts it in practice. The refidue of the Royal
Prifoners were ufed with due refped, Bradet and Molena Mahomet excepted, who by too
much rigour were fo enraged that Molena died. Zadoc-cawn fped belt *, for before

and with whatadifmal vail itwas then inveloped, hisFather and Father-in-Law being in
fubjedion, Sultan Bulloch and prince Daniel's Sons imprifoned, and his own two Sons
with Godgee their Governour brought to Mahohet by time-ferving Madoffer-chan to
abide his mercy; He difputes not what Mahohet meant, but what had hapned. So that,
exafperated with a thoufand fancies, he gives Melee Amber many thanks, and with
Radgee Rhiems Son and twelve thoufand Horfe paffes (under leave) through Rana's Ter
ritories, and atlaft comes to Jfmeer, intending fuddenly to furprize Agra and pro
claim himfelf King. But his defign by Radgees fudden death was prevented, half his
company upon that occafion forfaking him i whereat, doubting fome treachery in the
Afmeerians (into fuch hate his robbing and other diforders had brought him) and that
Mahdhet-chan had fentfome force againft him, and Sultan Perwees alio had ambufht for
him, he haftens to Tatta, hoping by conqueft thereof to command Indus and Camhaya :
So as at his encamping before it he fends the Governour afummons to deliver it •, but
the Captain Xerijf-Melee fends him word he had particular order to keep him out, and
that if he attempted it he fhould receive the entertainment of an Enemy. Curroon re
turns him back again. That he was Son unto the King: Melee confefles it, but withal, a
Rebel. Curroon re-greets him, That he came to defie Mahohet-ehan, and to bring deli

pares for an aftault •, and accordingly at one and the fame inftant ftorms the City walls
in feveral places: but Melee the Governour fo well defends the out-works and walls, that
theaflailants were forced to draw off with lofs *, the befieged next day faliying out, and
with fuch gallantry falling into Curroons Camp, that in the skirmiih Derra-ehan and 300
of his men were killed, and Curroon himfelf forced (to his old fhift) to fly to Delly •,
where finding no welcome, hehaftes withhis chafed Troops to Bahar (a Fort 'twixt 1^-
hore and the Sea) to breathe a while.
DELLY is the name of a City and Province which of late belonged to the Potan
Kings, the originary Inhabitants *, but at this day is reduced under the Crown of Indn-
flam. The City is ancient, large, and pretty beautiful •, fuch appearing in the variety of
antick Monuments and Tombs of above twenty Kings and other great perfons who lye
