2 1 7 could bring matters to bear. However, 'twas a scheme, and as such they submitted. For my part, I listened with ecstasy to the words ■ of Hilaro Frosticos, for I knew that he had a most singular knowledge of human kind, and could humor and persuade them on to their own happiness and universal good. Therefore, ac- cording to the advice of Hilaro, I despatched a balloon with four men over the desert to the Cape of Good Hope, with letters to be for- warded to England, requiring, without delay..., a few cargoes of fudge.
The people had all this time remained in a general state of ferment and murmur. Every- thing that rancor, low wit, and deplorable ignor- ance could conceive to asperse my government, was put in execution. The most worthy, even the most beneficent actions, everything that was amiable, were perverted into opposition.
The heart of Munchausen was not made of such impenetrable stuff as to be insensible to the hatred of even the most worthless wretch in the whole kingdom ; and once, at a general assembly of the states, filled with an idea of such continued ingratitude, I spoke as pathetic as 218 ORIGINAL TRAVELS OF possible, not, methought, beneath my dignity, to make them feel for me ; that the universal good and happiness of the people were all I wished or desired : that if my actions had been mis- taken, or improper surmises formed, still I had no wish, no desire, but the public welfare, &c, &c, &c.
