ZADIG.
Free Translation.
In ‘lie time of king; Moalnlar, there
lived in Bali) lon, a young man named
Zadig, who was by nature, a good rlis
position and fine intellect, which had been
strengthened by education. Although
rich and young, he knew how to control
his passions; lie gave himself no airs,
and he (expected the weakness of others.
He had learnt, in the first hook of Zoro
aster, that self-love is a great balloon,
puffed up with wind, that creates a terri
ble tempest whenever anybody pricks it.
Zadig was generous. He did not even
fear to do favors for the ungrateful follow -
intr the grand precept of Zoroaster.
4 When tl ion enlest, Iced your dogs, nl
though they bite yon.’ He was as w ise
as he could lie— for he sought to spend
his time with tiie sages, instructed in
the sciences nl Chaldea, he was not ig
norant of the principles of physical na
tore, such as were then known, and he
knew of metaphysics all that ever was
I.own, whirl) is a very little hit. He was
firmly persuaded that in every year there
were twelve months, and also three bun
tired and sixty-five days nnd a quarter.
Zadig, will) great riches, and, ofcotirse
wi.h many friends, having health, a good
figure, just and moderate desires, a sincere
and noble heart, thought that, upon the
w hole, lie might he happy. He was a
liont to marry Semire, wlnse beauty,
birth and fortune, rendered her the first
choice in Babylon. On the evening be
lore they were to he united, they walked
together to wards one of the gates of Ba
bylon, under tlte palm-trees that ornament
the banks of the Euphrates—when they
saw coming to them, some men armed
with swords and javelins. These were
tlte satellites of young Orcan, the nephew
of tlte Minister, who had been persuaded
by the rourti rs, that-he was allowed to
do anything lie pleased. He had not
one of the graces or virtues t f Zadig ;
hut believing that lie was worth a great
deal more, he was desperately angry a!
not being preferred. Jealousy, which
only comes from vanity, made him think
that he loved Semire. He wished to car
ry her off. His satellites seized Iter, ana,
in the ex tremity of their violence, they
wounded her, and caused lo flow the
blood of a person, tbe very sight of w lioni
would have softened the very tigers ol
Mont Jmrnaiis. She pierced the heavens
with her complaints. ‘My dearest Za
dig,’ she cried, 1 they tear me away from
thee, whom I adore’ She was not oc
cupied w ith her own danger ; -be thought
only of her dearest Zadig. He, in the
meanwhile, defended her with all the
strength of love and valor. Aided only
by two servants, lie put his enemies to
flight, and bore off Semire, fainting and
bleeding, to her home, who, on opening
her eyes, saw Iter liberator,
•r n e ey e .
The wound of Semire was light; slit
got well very soon. Zadig was more
dangerously hurt. A thrust of a javelin
received near the eye, made a ugly
wound. Semire prayed to the Gods on
ly for the cure of her lover. Her eyes
were flooded w ith tears, day and night.—
She anxiously awaited (lie moment when
those of Zadig could return Iter regards;
hut an abscess came on upon the wound
ed pye and the worst was feared. They
sent ev-n to Memphis to get (lie great
Doctor Hermes, w ho came, attended by a
numerous suit. He visited the sirk mail,
and he declared that lie would lose his
eye ; lie even predicted the day, and the
hour of the day, when the catastrophe
would occur.
44 Had it Ijpen the rig lit eye,’ said this
grpat man, 4 I could have cured it ; hut
all the diseases of the left ey e are ini am
ble.’
All Bahvlon, while pillying the eon
dilion of Zadig, wondered at, admired
and extolled the profundity of the science
nnd skill of Hermes the Great. Two
days afterwards, the abscess opened of
itself, nnd Zadig was perfectly cured.
Hermes wrote a hook, in which he
proved that Zadig ought not to have got
well.
Zadig never read it ; hut as soon as It”
could go out, he prepared lo pay a visit
to her who was the hope and happiness of
his lif”, and for whom alone he wanted lo
have any eyes. Semire had been in the
country for three days past. He learned
upon the road that this beautiful, lady,
having haughtily declared her insui'v
nio tut table disgust for one eyed men, was
OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS.
going to he married that very night jo
Ore an. At this news, lie fainted ; his
grief brought him to the borders of the
tomb; he was sick for a long time; but
in the end, his reason overcame his sor
row, and the atrocity of the whole affair
served even to console him.
1 Since I have been subjected ti the
caprices of a fine lady of the court,’ said
he, ‘ I will have nothing to do w ith any
of that class any more. 1 will man y a
citizen’s daughter.’
lie chose Azora, the wisest young girl
in the city : he married her, and lived a
whole month w ith her, enjoying thesweets
of the tenderest union.
THE NOSE.
One day, Azora came hack soma
walk, in great wrath, and giving utter
ance to the most violent objurgations a
gainst somebody.
‘ YVliat ails von, my clear wife?’ said
Zadig to her, ‘ who lias put von so beside
yourself ?’
4 Alas !’ said she, ‘you would he ns an
gry as / am, if you had seen the specta
cle, of which 1 have been a witness. I
have been to console the young widow
Cosron, who, two days since, raised a
tomb to her young husband, on the bor
ders of the brook, that runs through the
plain. She vowed to the Gods, in her
grief, that she would live near that tomb,
so long as the waters of the brook should
run beside it.’
‘ Indeed !’ said Zadig, ‘site is an esti
mable woman, who truly loved Iter hus
band.’
‘Alt!’ responded Azora, *if you hut
knew how she was occupied, when I vi-i
led her.’
4 How was that, my beautiful Azora ?’
asked Zadig.
4 She was engaged in turning aside the
| waters of the brook,’ said Azora, and so
j telling Iter husband, she hurst forth in in-
I vectives so long, and reproaches so vio
j lent, against the young widow Cosron,
I that Z idig was by no mentis pleased with
her ostentations parade of virtue,
Z-tdig had a friend named Cador,
whom he look into his confidence, assur
ing himself of his fidelity, by making Ititn
a handsome present. Azora, having
passed two days, with a friend of hers, in
the country, came home on the third.—
The servants, in teats, announced to her,
that her husband had died very suddenly
the night before, that no one had dated
to carry the sail news to her, and that
thev had just gone to bury Zadig in the
tomb of bis fathers, at the end of tlte gar
den.
She wept, she tore out great handfuls
of her hair, and swore she would die.
In the evening, Cador begged perm’s
sicn to speak to her, and they wept to
gether. ‘l'he next day, they didn't w eep
quite so much, and dined together. A
zora spoke the praises of the defunct, lint
said that he had (Hulls ft om which Cador
was exempt.
Just in the midst of the repast, Cndor
was taken vety sick with a disease of the
j spleen ; the lady, very uneasy and anx
; ions, sent for all the e>sences, with which
! she was wont to perfume her beau'ilul
I person, and tried :hent, to see if
any one might he good for the disease of
the spleen. She regretted very much
(fiat the world-renowned Hermes was not
still in Babylon.
‘Are yon sulject to this cruel disease?’
sal I she, with much compassion.
l lt very often brings me to the brink
of the grave,’ responded Cador in great
pain. 4 and there is hut one remedy that
can relieve me, and that is to apply to my
side the nose of a man who has been dead
a day or tw o—oh !’
1 What a strange remedy !* said Azora,
hilt the great merit of the young loan, de
termined her.
4 After all,’ said she, 4 when my poor
dear defunct Zadig has passed from this
world, and is on his journey to the next,
upon the bridge Tchinnrar, the angel
Asrnel will not refuse him a passage, tie -
cause his nose happens In he an inch hi
so shorter in his second hie than it w as in
his first. I never heard that anybody
was to be judged according to the length
of his nose, and Cador is very sick,
and Cador is very handsome, and .’
She took a sharp razor, she w ent to the
tomb of her spouse, she watered it with
her tears, and she approached to cut nfi
the nose of Zadig, w hum she found ex
tended in his open grave.
Z ulig popped up, holding on to Id
nose with one hand, and jiut'ing liai k the
razor with the other.
4 Madam,’ said he, 4 hereafter, don’t
cry out so loud against the widow Cos
roti. Tour project ol cutting off my nose
will do very well as a set-off against her
turning aside the brook.’
1. U C K .
Zadig experienced that, the first month
ol wedlock, as it is written in t*'e hook ol
Zend, is the honey month, and that the
second is the month of wormwood. He
was, after a very little while, obliged to
seperate (mm Azora, who got to be a re
gular shrew, and he went to seek lor hap
piness in the study of nature.
‘No one is happier,’ said lie, 4 than
the philosopher w iio reads the great book
that God has opened befoie our eyes.—
| I he truth he there discovers are his own;
j they nourish, they elevate his soul; he
lives tranquilly ; he (ears nothing from
men, and his tender spouse due-u i come
to cut his nose off’
1’ nil o| such ideas, he retired to a conn
uy house, on the banks.of the great river
the Euphrates. There lie did not oc
cupy himself with calculating how many
inches ol water ran every set ond, under
the arches ol the bridge ; nor how many
more cubic inches of water tell in the
monib ol Venison, than in the month of
Mutton ; neither did lie bother himself
about the fine fabrics of linen, nnd clod)
of gold, nor heautilul pni celian ware, nor
any such tin tiers ; but especially studied 1
the properties and uses of animals and
plants, and he soon acquired a sagacity,
that enabled him lo discover a thousand
differences in each otic, that would pass
tiuoliced by other men.
As he walked one day near a small
wood, he perceived running towards him,
one of the pagt sos the Queen, followed
by many other officers of the household,
who all seemed to he in the greatest dis
traction, nnd who w-re locking about,
like met) who had lost some very precious
thing.
4 Voting man,’ said the page, • have
you seen the Qcen’s dog ?’
4 Is it a very little Spaniel?’ said Zadig
very modestly.
4 Yes, it’s a very little Spaniel.’ said
the page.
4 /> it lame of the right fore-fool and
has it very long tars ?’ asked Zadig,
4 You have seen him then ?’ said the
page, almost out of breath.
4 No,’ responded Zadig, 4 I have not
seen him, and I did not know that the
Queen had stn h a dog.’
Breeiselv at the same limp, and by one
nl Fortune’s tricks, tlie finest Imrse in the
King's stable, esrapeilSfrotn the hands of
his groom, and got loose in the plains of
Babylon. The grand huntsman, and all
the other officers, rat) after him, in as
great a hurry as the page after tlte Queen’s
tlog. The grand huntsman, addressing
himself to Zadig, demanded to know of
him whether he had seen tlte King's
horse.
‘ It’s a horse that gallops we'|,‘ said
Z idig ; ‘ lie’s five feel high ; lie has very
small feet ; hi< tail is three feel and a half
long ; the studs ot his bit are of gold and
his shoes of silver.’
‘YVliat road did he take ? Where is
he ? demanded the grand huntsman.
4 I have not seen him,’ said Zadig,
4 and I have never heard anybody speak
of him.’
The grand huntsman and the page,
made no doubt, hut that Z'dig had stolen
both the King’s horse, and the Queen’*
dog, and they accordingly carried him
Indore the assembly ol'ilie Grand Duster
(mm, u hich condemned him to pass the
rest of his davs in exile. Scarcely had
the judgment been pronounced, when
both the horse and the dog were found
by some people, and brought hack. The
judges were under the dolorous necessity
of recalling their decree, but they
detuned Zadig to pay lour bundled pieces
of gold, for haying said that lie did not
sec, that which he did see. He was cum
i [idled to pay the n cun) ; alter whirl), he
was allowed to (dead his cause. In fore
the Council of the Grand Dnslcrham.—
He spoke thus :
‘ Stars of justice, abysses of science,
mirrors oflnilli, who lime the heaviness
ol lend, the hardness of iion, tlie brilli
ancy of diamonds and n very great affin
ity w ith gold, s'lice it is permitted me to
speak before this august assembly, I do
assure yon that I have neither seen the
respectable dog of the Queen, nor the e,
n rable horse of liis scieiie Majesty, the
King.
1 Hear what did happen. As 7 walked
in the wood, I encountered this very il-

grand huntsman. I had seen in the sand
the tracks ol an animal, and l easily
judged i lie in to he lmse of a dog. The
traces, w hit b appeared to have barely
brushed the ground, by the side of (lie
Ibre-leet, showed me that it had very long
ears, and as 1 remstrked, that the sand
was less deeply impressed by one foot
than by the other three, I comprehended
that the dog of our august Queen was a
little lame ; if 1 might dare to say so.
4 ln regard to tlie King’s horse, you
must know, that as I walked along a cer
tain path in the woods, I perceived the
tracks of a horse’s shoes—they were at
equal distances. Here, said I, lias been
along a horse, that gallops well. Tbe
dust upon the hushes in a narrow road,
that was only seven feet wide, was bru-h
----ed off a little to the right and lelt, at a
liont three feet and a half Iron) tbe mid
dle of the road. This horse, said I, has
a tail tlirte feel and a ball long, tiiat lias
sw in bed till’ this dust.
4 I had seen under the limbs of the
trees, which fnrtncd a bower five feet ill
height, the leaves ami small branches
newly broken, and from that, I knew that
the horse had touched them, and ihal l:e
was live (Vet high. As lo his bit, it must
have been of gold, for I saw where lie
slock the bosses of it against a certain
rock, that I knew to be a touch-stone,
because 1 had previously tried it. Fin
ally, I judged by the marks his shoes had
left upon some Unit rocks, that lie was
shod witli silver. This, Oh I most wise,
merciful, ar.d ju-t judges of tbe grand
Du -letham, was what happened, and liovv
I came to know aught about either the
Queen’s dog, or the King’s horse.’
All the judges wondered at the pro
found and subtle discernment of Zadig.
The news reached even to the King and
Queen. Evety body was speaking n
boui Zulig—in the ante chambers, in tbe
bureaus of office, aft] in the cabinet—nnd
■ hough the wise men opined, that he
ought to he burnt ns a sorrerer, the King
thought otherwise, by good luck, and he
ordered that the judges should pay him
hack his four hundred pieces of gold.
Accordingly, the ('let It, tbe bailiffs
and ptocurers wcm to his house, in great
state, to earn him hi- lour hundred oun
ces. They only retained three hundred
and eighty.-eight for the expenses o f jus
tice, and out nl the balance the porters
and jailor had to he paid.
Zadig saw bow dangerous it was to be
too wise sometimes, and be promised him
self, that the next time, lie wouldn’t say
n word. The occasion s-ion happened.
A prisoner c.f state escaped —be passed
under the windows ofZulig’s house.—
They interrogated Zadig. He answered
nothing. But it was proved that lie must
Inve seen the prisoner front his window.
He wax condemned for litis offence, lo
pay five hundred ounces of gold, and
thanked his judges lor not chopping off
his head, according to the custom of Ba
ht lot).
4 Alas !’ said he, ‘ how much are thev
in lie pitied who walk in the wood where
the Queen’s dog, and the King’s steed,
have .akin an ailing ! H<>iv dangerous
it is to look out of a window ! How dif<
ficult it is to he happy in this life.’
