Digitized by LjOOQIC \ THE KNIGHT OP THE GOLDEN MELICE. 229 " I know/' he said, " that it is a service not unattended with danger ; yet did danger never frighten a noble soul, but doth ever act as an incentive. There is no one save thyself well ac- quainted with the tongue of these savages, (Mr. Eliot's knowledge thereof, I observe, is imperfect, and he is in other respects but poorly qualified for the enterprise), and who would be able to make the impression upon them and obtain the informatio...n which I desire."
