The familiar of a Spanish Inquisition has sometimes moistened the lips of a heretic stretched upon the rack, the Buccaneer of the tropics has relented over the contumacious prisoner gasping to death under his lashes and heated pincers; but we know of no instance where an Indian, torturing a prisoner at the stake, the torture once begun, has ever been moved to compassionate, to regard with any feelings but those of exultation and joy, the agonies of the thrice-wretched victim.
'The most miserable of all men, the thrice-wretched Erasmus, he calls himself in fine Greek terms. His life 'is an Iliad of calamities, a chain of misfortunes. How can anyone envy me? To no one has Fortune been so constantly hostile as to him.
