We lodge1 at a House near Amiens, where I am robbed by the Capuchin, who escapes while I am asleep — I go to Noyons in search of him, but without Success — make my Condition known to several People, but find no Relief — grow desperate — find a Company of Soldiers — Enlist3 in the Regiment4 of Picardy — we are ordered into Germany — I find the Fatigues5 of the March almost intolerable — Quarrel with my Comrade in a dispute about Politics — he challenges me to the Field — wounds and disarms7 me
The third night of our pilgrimage we passed at a house near Amiens, where being unknown, we supped upon indifferent fare and sour wine, and were fain to be in a garret upon an old mattress8, which, I believe had been in the possession of ten thousand myriads9 of fleas10 time out of mind. We did not invade their territory with impunity11; in less than a minute we were attacked by stings innumerable, in spite of which, however, I fell fast asleep, being excessively fatigued12 with our day’s march, and did not wake till nine next morning, when, seeing myself alone, I started up in a terrible fright, and, examining my pockets, found my presaging13 fear too true! My companion had made free with my cash, and left me to seek my way to Paris by myself! I ran down stairs immediately; and, with a look full of grief and amazement15, inquired for the mendicant16, who, they gave me to understand, had set out four hours before, after having told them I was a little indisposed, and desired I might not be disturbed, but be informed when I should wake, that he had taken the road to Noyons, where he would wait for my coming, at the Coq d’Or. I spoke17 not a word, but with a heavy heart directed my course to that place, at which I arrived in the afternoon, fainting with weariness and hunger; but learned to my utter confusion, that no such person had been there! It was happy for me that I had a good deal of resentment18 in my constitution, which animated19 me on such occasions against the villainy of mankind, and enabled me to bear misfortunes, otherwise intolerable. Boiling with indignation, I discovered to the host my deplorable condition, and inveighed20 with great bitterness against the treachery of Balthazar; at which he shrugged21 up his shoulders, and with a peculiar22 grimace23 on his countenance24, said, he was sorry for my misfortune, but there was no remedy like patience. At that instant some guests arrived, to whom he hastened to offer his service, leaving me mortified25 at his indifference26, and fully27 persuaded that an innkeeper is the same sordid28 animal all the world over.
While I stood in the porch forlorn and undetermined, venting29 ejaculations of curses against the thief who had robbed me, and the old priest who recommended him to my friendship, a young gentleman richly dressed, attended by a valet de chambre and two servants in livery, arrived at the inn. I thought I perceived a great deal of sweetness and good-nature in his countenance; therefore. he had no sooner alighted than I accosted30 him, and, in a few words, explained my situation: he listened with great politeness, and, when I made an end of my story, said, “Well, monsieur, what would you have me to do?” I was effectually abashed31 at this interrogation, which, I believe, no man of common sense or generosity32 could make, and made no other compliment than a low bow: he returned the compliment still lower, and tripped into an apartment, while the landlord let me know that my standing33 there to interrupt company gave offence, and might do him infinite prejudice. He had no occasion to repeat his insinuation; I moved from the place immediately, and was so much transported with grief, anger, and disdain34, that a torrent35 of blood gushed36 from my nostrils37. In this ecstacy, I quitted Noyons, and betook myself to the fields, where I wandered about like one distracted, till my spirits were quite exhausted38, and I was obliged to throw myself down at the root of a tree, to rest my wearied limbs. Here my rage forsook39 me: I began to feel the importunate40 cravings of nature, and relapsed into silent sorrow and melancholy41 reflection. I revolved42 all the crimes I had been guilty of and found them too few and venial43, that I could not comprehend the justice of that Providence45, which, after having exposed me to so much wretchedness and danger, left me a prey46 to famine at last in a foreign country, where I had not one friend or acquaintance to close my eyes, and do the last offices of humanity to my miserable47 carcass. A thousand times I wished myself a bear, that I might retreat to woods and deserts, far from the inhospitable haunts of man, where I could live by my own talents, independent of treacherous48 friends and supercilious49 scorn.
As I lay in this manner, groaning50 over my hapless fate, I heard the sound of a violin, and raising my head, perceived a company of men and women dancing on the grass at some distance from me. I looked upon this to be a favourable51 season for distress52 to attract compassion53, when every selfish thought is banished54, and the heart dilated55 with mirth and social joy; wherefore I got up, and approached those happy people, whom I soon discovered to be a party of soldiers, with their wives and children, unbending and diverting themselves at this rate, after the fatigue6 of a march. I had never before seen such a parcel of scarecrows together, neither could I reconcile their meagre and gaunt looks, their squalid and ragged56 attire57, and every other external symptom of extreme woe58, with this appearance of festivity. I saluted59 them, however, and was received with great politeness; after which they formed a ring, and danced around me. This jollity had a wonderful effect upon my spirits. I was infected with their gaiety, and in spite of my dismal60 situation, forgot my cares, and joined in their extravagance. When we had recreated ourselves a good while at this diversion, the ladies spread their manteaus on the ground, upon which they emptied their knapsacks of some onions, coarse bread, and a few flasks61 of poor wine: being invited to a share of the banquet, I sat down with the rest, and, in the whole course of my life, never made a more comfortable meal. When our repast was ended, we got up again to dance, and, now that I found myself refreshed I behaved to the admiration62 of everybody; I was loaded with a thousand compliments and professions of friendship: the men commended my person and agility63, and the women were loud in the praise of my bonne grace; the sergeant64 in particular expressed so much regard for me, and described the pleasures of a soldier’s life to me with so much art, that I began to listen to his proposal of enlisting65 me in the service; and the more I considered my own condition, the more I was convinced of the necessity I was under to come to a speedy determination.
Having, therefore, maturely weighed the circumstances pro44 and con2 I signified my consent, and was admitted into the regiment of Picardy, said to be the oldest corps66 in Europe. The company to which this commander belonged was quartered at a village not far off, whither we marched next day, and I was presented to my captain, who seemed very well pleased with my appearance, gave me a crown to drink, and ordered me to be accommodated with clothes, arms, and accoutrements. Then I sold my livery suit, purchased linen67, and, as I was at great pains to learn the exercise, in a very short time became a complete soldier.
It was not long before we received orders to join several more regiments68, and march with all expedition into Germany, in order to reinforce Mareschal Duc de Noailles, who was then encamped with his army on the side of the river Mayne, to watch the motions of the English, Hanoverians, Austrians, and Hessians, under the command of the Earl of Stair. We began our march accordingly, and then I became acquainted with that part of a soldier’s life to which I had been hitherto a stranger. It is impossible to describe the hunger and thirst I sustained, and the fatigue I underwent in a march of so many hundred miles; during which, I was so much chafed69 with the heat and motion of my limbs, that in a very short time the inside of my thighs70 and legs were deprived of skin, and I proceeded in the utmost torture. This misfortune I owed to the plumpness of my constitution, which I cursed, and envied the withered71 condition of my comrades, whose bodies could not spare juice enough to supply a common issue, and were indeed proof against all manner of friction72. The continual pain I felt made me fretful, and my peevishness73 was increased by the mortification74 of my pride in seeing those miserable wretches75, whom a hard gale76 of wind would have scattered77 through the air like chaff78, bear those toils79 with alacrity80 under which I was ready to sink.
One day, while we enjoyed a halt, and the soldiers with their wives had gone out to dance, according to custom, my comrade stayed at home with me on pretence81 of friendship, and insulted me with his pity and consolation82! He told me that, though I was young and tender at present, I should soon be seasoned to the service; and he did not doubt but I should have the honour to contribute in some measure to the glory of the king. “Have courage, therefore, my child,” said he, “and pray to the good God, that you may be as happy as I am, who have had the honour of serving Louis the Great, and of receiving many wounds, in helping83 to establish his glory.” When I looked upon the contemptible84 object that pronounced these words, I was amazed at the infatuation that possessed85 him; and could not help expressing my astonishment86 at the absurdity87 of a rational who thinks himself highly honoured, in being permitted to encounter abject88 poverty, oppression, famine, disease, mutilation, and evident death merely to gratify the vicious ambition of a prince, by whom his sufferings were disregarded, and his name utterly89 unknown. I observed that, if his situation were the consequence of compulsion, I would praise his patience and fortitude90 in bearing his lot: if he had taken up arms in defence of his injured country, he was to be applauded for his patriotism91: or if he had fled to this way of life as a refuge from a greater evil, he was justifiable92 in his own conscience (though I could have no notion of misery93 more extreme than he suffered); but to put his condition on the footing of conducing to the glory of his prince, was no more than professing94 himself a desperate slave, who voluntarily underwent the utmost wretchedness and peril95, and committed the most flagrant crimes, to soothe96 the barbarous pride of a fellow-creature, his superior in nothing but the power he derived97 from the submission98 of such wretches as him. The soldier was very much affronted99 at the liberty I took with his king, which, he said, nothing but my ignorance could excuse: he affirmed that the characters of princes were sacred, and ought not to be profaned100 by the censure101 of their subjects, who were bound by their allegiance to obey their commands, of what nature soever, without scruple102 or repining; and advised me to correct the rebellious103 principles I had imbibed104 among the English, who, for their insolence105 to their kings, were notorious all over the world, even to a proverb.
In vindication106 of my countrymen, I repeated all the arguments commonly used to prove that every man has a natural right to liberty; that allegiance and protection are reciprocal; that, when the mutual107 tie is broken by the tyranny of the king, he is accountable to the people for his breach108 of contract, and subject to the penalties of the law; and that those insurrections of the English, which are branded with the name of rebellion by the slaves of arbitrary power, were no other than glorious efforts to rescue that independence which was their birthright, from the ravenous109 claws of usurping110 ambition. The Frenchman, provoked at the little deference111 I paid to the kingly name, lost all patience, and reproached me in such a manner that my temper forsook me, I clenched112 my fist, with an intention to give him a hearty113 box on the ear. Perceiving my design, he started back and demanded a parley114; upon which I checked my indignation, and he gave me to understand that a Frenchman never forgave a blow; therefore, if I were not weary of my life, I would do well to spare him that mortification, and do him the honour of measuring his sword with mine, like a gentleman. I took his advice and followed him to a field hard by, where indeed I was ashamed at the pitiful figure of my antagonist115, who was a poor little shivering creature, decrepit116 with age, and blind of one eye. But I soon found the folly117 of judging from appearances; being at the second pass wounded in the sword hand, and immediately disarmed118 with such a jerk, that I thought the joint119 was dislocated. I was no less confounded than enraged120 at this event, especially as my adversary121 did not bear his success with all the moderation that might have been expected; for he insisted upon my asking pardon for affronting122 his king and him. This proposal I would by no means comply with, but told him, it was a mean condescension123, which no gentleman in his circumstances ought to propose, nor any in my situation ought to perform; and that, if he persisted in his ungenerous demand, I would in my turn claim satisfaction with my musket124, when we should be more upon a par14 than with the sword, of which he seemed so much master.
