"I have long been of that mind, my lord. But let me go on. Says Bardianna, 'Devils are divers; strong devils, and weak devils; knowing devils, and silly devils; mad devils, and mild devils; devils, merely devils; devils, themselves bedeviled; devils, doubly bedeviled." "And in the devil's name, what sort of a devil is yours?" cried Mohi. "Of him anon; interrupt me not, old man.
Says old Bardianna, 'All men are possessed by devils; but as these devils are sent into men, and kept in them, for an additional punishment; not garrisoning a fortress, but limboed in a bridewell; so, it may be more just to say, that the devils themselves are possessed by men, not men by them." "Faith!" cried Media, "though sometimes a bore, your old Bardianna is a trump."
If duped by one, we are equally duped by the other." "Clear as this water," said Yoomy. "Opaque as this paddle," said Mohi, "But, come now, thou oracle, if all things are deceptive, tell us what is truth?" "The old interrogatory; did they not ask it when the world began? But ask it no more. As old Bardianna hath it, that question is more final than any answer."
Said Mohi and Yoomy in a breath, "Who sought your opinion, philosopher? you filcher from old Bardianna, and monger of maxims!" "You, who have so long marked the vices of Mardi, that you flatter yourself you have none of your own," added Braid-Beard.
But this comes of being impartial. Had I espoused the cause of Yoomy versus Mohi, or that of Mohi versus Yoomy, I had been sure to have had at least one voice in my favor. The impartialist insulteth all sides, saith old Bardianna; but smite with but one hand, and the other shall be kissed. Oh incomparable Bardianna!" "Will no one lay that troubled old ghost," exclaimed Media, devoutly.
