Epreſents the habitation of Robin-
ſon Cruſoe “A tent under the ſide
* of a rock, ſurrounded with a ſtrong pale
şr of poſts and cables, with a kind of wall
«c of turfs, and after he had been there
“ about a year and a half, he raiſed rafters
“ from it, leaning on the rock, and thatch-
so ed and covered it with trees, and ſuch
things as he could get to keep out the
« rain."---Robinſon Cruſoe deſcribes the
ſituation in theſe words :
pro
« In ſearch of a place proper for this. I found a lit-
6 tle plain on the ſide of a riſing hill, whoſe form to-
mwards this plain was as ſteep as an houſe-lide, ſo that
nothing could come down upon me, from the top:
on
the ſide of this rock there was an hollow place,
fp worn a little way in, like the entrance or door of a
cave,
“

* cave, but there was not really any cave of way into
f the rock at all.
:
3
« On the flat of the green, juſt before this hollow
“ place, I reſolved to pitch my tent; but firſt I drew an
“ half-circle before the hollow place, in which I pitched
two rows of ſtrong ſtakes; and then laid the pieces of
6 cable which I had cut in the ſhip, in rows upon one
94 another, -within tbe çircles, and between thoſe two
La rons of flakes, placing others in the inside, leaning
« againſt them, and this fence was ſo ſtrong, that
" neither man nor beaſt could get into it, or over it.
« This coſt ine a great deal of time and labour, eſpe-
'
« cially to cut the piles.in the wood, bring them to the
“ place, and drive them into the earth."
>>
From this habitation Robinſon Cruſoe
deſcends, exactly according to the hiſtory,
Theſe are his words :-
- The paſſage from this place I made to be, nat by a
4 door, hut by a Mort ladder, which when I went in or
s out, I lifted over affer me; and ſo I was čolnpletely
54. fenced in, and fortified:
His theatrical dreſs is alſo ſtrictly, con-
formable to his own account of it. Theſe
are his words;
+
" Had any one in England been to meet ſucli a man
Al as Iyyas it muſt either have frighted them, or raiſed a
great deal of laughter; and as I frequently itoad (till
“to look at myſelf, I could not but ſinile at the notion
$5 of my travelling through Yorkſhire with ſuch an
heçnipage and in ſuch a dreſs. Be pleaſed to take a

*** ſketch of my figure, as follows: I had a great high
« ſhapeleſs cap, made of goat's-ſkin with a flap hanging
“ down behind, as well to keep the ſun from me, as to
« ſhoot the rain off my neck.
« I had a ſhort jacket of goat's-ſkin, the ſkirts coming
** down to about the middle of my thighs ; and a pair
.“ of open-kneed breeches of the fame : The breeches
were made of an old ſkin whoſe hair hung down ſuch
a length on either ſide, that, like pantaloons, it reach-
« ed to the middle of my legs. Stockings and ſhoes I
“ had none; but I had made me a pair of ſomething, I
« ſcarce knew what to call them, likę buſkins, to flap
over my legs, and lace on either ſide like ſpatterdalhes;
“ but of a moft barbarous ſhape, as indeed were all the
L" reſt of my clothes.

" I had on a broad belt of goat's-ſkin'dried, which I
* drew together with two thongs of the ſame, inſtead of
« huckles; and in a kind of frog on either ſide of this,
« inſtead of a ſword and dagger, hung a little faw and
:“ an hatchet, one on one ſide, one on the other. I
i had another belt not ſo broad and faſtened in the fame
" manner, which hung over my ſhoulder ; and at the
« end of it under my left arm, hung two pouches, both
* made of goat's-ſkin too, in one of which hung my
powder, in the other my ſhot: At my back I car-
“ ried a great clumfy ugly goat-ſkin umbrella, but
" which, after all, was the moſt neceſſary thing I had
« about me, next to my gun:
-My beard I had once
" ſuffered to grow till it was about a quarter of a yard
" long ; but as I had both ſciſfars and razors ſufficient,
" I had cut it pretty ſhort except what grew on my up-
per lip, which I had trimmed into a large pair of Ma-
« hometan whiſkers, ſuch as I had ſeen worn by ſome
" Turks whom I ſaw at Sallee; for the Moors did not
wear ſuch, though the Turks did : Of theſe muſta-
« chios, or whiſkers, I will not fay they were long
enough to hang my hat upon them; but they were of
length

length and ſhape monſtrous enough, and ſuch as id
England would have paſſed for frightful.'

​In this firſt ſcene alſo is exhibited the
melancholy way in which this deſolate ma-
riner contrived, by a wooden calendar, tó
keep an account of his filent folitary life.
• After I had been there about ten or twelve days, it
« came into my thoughts that I ſhould loſe my reckon-
« ing of time for want of books, and pen and ink, and
« Thould even forget the Sabbath days from the working
“ days: But to prevent this, I cut it with my knife upon
a large poſt in capital letters; and making it into a
great croſs, I ſet it up on the ſhore where I firſt landa
sed, viz. I came on ſhore here the 30th of September,
“ 1659. Upon the ſides of this ſquare poſt I cut every
« day a notch with my knife, and every ſeventh day
was as long again as that long one; and thus I kept
“ my calendar of weekly, monthly, or yearly reckoning
66 of time"
And here is alſo introduced the intereſt-
-ing circumſtance of the parrot's return.
,
“I got over the fence, and laid me down in the ſhade
' to reſt my limbs, for I was very weary, and fell aſleep;
« But judge you, if yoụ can, that read my ſtory, what
a ſurpriſe I muſt be in, when I heard a voice calling
« me by my name ſeveral times, Robin, Robin, Robin
« Cruſoe, poor Robin Cruſoe !
« At firſt I thought it had been a dream, and ſtarted,
up in the utmoſt conſternation; But I foon faw.my

“ knew that this was he that ſpoke to me; for jult in

“ However, even though I knew it was the parrot, it

SCENE II.
Is a view of the grove near the ſea-ſhore,
where Robinſon Crusoe worked on two
boats. His long labour and final diſap-
pointment in the firſt are thus feelingly
deſcribed :
I went to work upon this boat the moſt like a fool
" that ever man did, who had any of his fenſes awake.
“ I pleaſed myſelf with the deſign, without determining
« wliether I was able to undertake it; not but that the
“ difficulty of launching my boat came often into my
« head; but I put a ſtop to my own inquiries into it
ç by this fooliſh anſwer, which I gave myſelf; let me
* firſt make it, I'll warrant I'll find fome way or other
to get it along, when it is dene.

* This was a mot prepoſterous method ; būt tha
C. eagerneſs of my fancy prevailed, and to work I went,
Wand felled a cedar tree : I queſtion much whether So-
6 lomon ever had ſuch an one for the building the
"temple at Jeruſalem"; it was five feet ten inches dia-
« meter ai the lower part next the ſtump, and four feet
( eleven inches diameter at the end of twenty-two feet,
« after which it leſſened for a while, and then parted into
« branches : it was not without infinite labour that I
“ felled this tree: I was twenty days hacking and hew-
ing at it at the bottom; I was fourteen days more
getting the branches, limbs, and the vaſt ſpreading
" head of it cut off : which I hacked and hewed through
“ with my 'ax and hatchet, an expreſſible labour : after
co this it coſt me a month to ſhape it, and dub it to pro-
“portion, and to ſomething like the bottom of a boat,
" that it might ſwim upright as it ought to do. It coſt
me near three months more to clear the inſide, and
« work it out ſo as to inake an exact boat of it: this
“ I did indeed without fire, by mere mallet and chiffel,
o and by the dint of hard labour; till I had brought
“ it to be a very handſome Periagua, and big enough to
«' have carried ſix and twenty, men, and conſequently
big enough to have carried' me and all iny cargo.
" When I had gone through this work, I was ex-
" tremely delighted with it: the boat was really much
« bigger than I ever ſaw a Canoe or Periaguathat was
“ made of one tree, in my life; many a weary ſtroke it
coſt you may be ſure, for there remained nothing but
to get it into the water; I make no queſtion bụt I
“ ſhould have begun the madeſt voyage, and the moſt
* unlikely to be performed, that ever was undertaken,
$
1
« But all my devices to get it into the water failed me;
though they coſt infinite ļabour too; it lay about
" one hundred yards from the water, and not more;
" but the firſt inconvenience was, it was up hill to-
6 wards the creek: to take away this diſcouragement,
.66 1re.

to I reſolved to dig into the fạrface of the earth, and ſo
u make a declivity; this I begån, and it coſt me a prom
“digious deal of pains, but when this was worked
" through, and this difficulty managed, it was ſtill
“ mucli at one; for I could no more ſtir the Canoe,
" than I could the other boat; ſo at length, though
s with great reluctancy, I gave this attempt over alſo.''
«. This grieved me heartily, and now I ſaw, though
" too late, the folly of beginning a work before we
count the coſt, and before we judge right of our own
ſtrength to go through with it.
2 광
​His more ſucceſsful work is thus re-
lated :
“ Beſides this yearly labour, and my daily labour of
s going out with my gun, I had one labour to make me
a canoe, which at laſt I finiſhed : So that by digging a
« canal to it fix feet wide, and four feet deep, I brought
“ it into thecreek, almoſt half a mile. As for the firſt,
" that was ſo vaſtly big, as I made it without conſider-
ing beforehand, as I ought to do, how I ſhould be
« able to launch it; ſo never being able to bring it to the
water, or bring the water to it, I was obliged to let
" it lie where it was, as a memorandum to teach me to
66 be wiſer next time.”
During his working on this canoe, the
firſt terror of the Savages breaks in on his
mind, from the. following circumſtance,
ſo pathetically told.

" It happened one day about noon, going towards
thiy canoe I was exceedingly ſurpriſed with the print
of a man's naked foot on the ſhore, which was very
“ plainly ſeen in the land: Ifood like one thunder-ſtruck,
“ or as if I had ſcen an apparition; I liſtened, I looked
“ round me, I could hear nothing, nor ſee any thing: I
" went up to a riſing ground to look farther : I went up
" the ſhore and down the ſhore, but it was all one,
İ
« could ſee no other impreſſion but that one : I went to
* it again to ſee if there were any inore, and to obſerve
" if it might not be my fancy; but there was no room
« for that, for there was exactly the very print of a
c. foot, toes, heel, and every part of a foot; how it
« came thither, I knew not, nor could in the leaſt ima-
gine. But after innumerable fluttering thoughts, like a
man perfectly confuſed and out of myſelf I came
« home to my fortification, not feeling, as we ſay, the
" ground I went on, but terrified to the laſt degree,
« looking behind me at every two or three ſteps, mif-
taking every buſh or tree, and fancying every ſtump
« at a diſtance to be a man; nor is it poſſible to deſcribe
“ how many various ſhapes an affrighted imagination
repreſented things to me in; how many wild ideas
“ were formed every moment in my fancy, and what
« ftrange, unaccountable whimſies came into my
" thoughts by the way."

SCENE III.
Repreſents the arrival of the Savages,
in their canoes, with their priſoners, and
among the reſt was Friday, whoſe eſcape
and refuge is thus deſcribed :
" I was

I was dreadfully frighted (that I muſt acknow-
« ledge) when I perceived him to run my way; and
“ eſpecially when, as I thought, I ſaw him purſued by
« by the whole body: However, I kept my ſtation, and
“ my fpirits began to recover, when I found that there
was not above three men that followed him; and
« ſtill more was I encouraged when I found he out-
“ ſtripped them exceedingly in running, and gained
ground of them, ſo that if he could but hold it for
“ half an hour, I ſaw eaſily he would fairly get away
« from them all."

SCÈ NE IV.

Changes again to the view of the boats,
where Robinſon Cruſoe firſt ſees Friday,
It is thus deſcribed :
« It came now very warmly upon my thoughts, and
« indeed irreſiſtible, that now was my time to get me a
“ fervant, and perhaps a companion or aſſiſtant, and
" that I was called plainly by Providence to ſave this
poor creature's life; ſo I immediately clapped my-
« lelf in the way between the purſuers and purſued,
« hollooing aloud to him that fled, who, looking back,
" was at firſt perhaps as much frighted at me as at
66 them ; but I beckoned with my hand to liim to come
br back. I was loth to fire, becauſe I would not have
« the reſt hear; and being out of ſight of the ſmoke
“ too, they would not have eaſily known what to make
% of it. The poor ſavage, though he ſaw all his ene-
« mics
i

( 14 )
« inies fly, yet was ſo frighted with the fire and noiſe of
my gun, that he ſtood ſtock-ſtill, and neither came
« forward nor went backward, though he ſeemed rather
« inclined to fly ſtill, than to come on. I made ſigns
" to come forward, which he eaſily underſtood, and
came a little way, and then ſtopped again, and I
« could then perceive that he ſtood trembling, as if he
was taken priſoner: I beckoned him again to come
“ to me, and gave him all the ſigns of encouragement
" that I could think of; and he came nearer and nearer,
“ kneeling down every ten or twelve ſteps, in token of
« acknowledgment for ſaving his life. I ſmiled at him,
« and looked pleaſantly, and beckoned him to come
« ſtill nearer. At length he came cloſe to me, and then
“ he kneeled down again, kiſſed the ground, and laid
“ his head upon the ground, and taking me by the
“foot, ſet my foot upon his head: This, it ſeems,
was in token of fwearing to be my ſlave for ever. I
“ I took him up, and made much of him, and encou-
“ raged him all I could."

SCENE V.
Is the Bower of Robinſon Cruſoe, where
he firſt carried Friday, as ſafer than making
an immediate diſcovery to him of his Cave.
This, his ſecond plantation, was of a dif-
ferent nature from his fortified tent. It is
thus deſcribed :

« Beſides this, I had my country-feat, and I had now
" a tolerable plantation there alſo; for firſt, I had my
« little bower, as I called it, which I kept in repair ; that
s is to ſay, I kept the hedge which circled it in, con-
« ftantly fitted up to its uſual height, the ladder ſtand-
ing always in the inſide ; I kept the trees, which at
« firſt were no more than my ſtakes, but were now
grown very firm and tall, and here, whenever I had
“occaſion to be abſent from my chief ſeat, I took up
my country habitation.
The incloſures for his cattle are here
exhibited :
« Adjoining to this I had my incloſures for my cattle,
" that is to ſay, my goats: and as I had taken an incon-
şc ceivable deal of pains to fence and incloſe this ground,
“ I was ſo uneaſy to ſee it kept entire, leaſt the goats
< ſhould break through, that I never left off, till with
« infinite labour I had ſtuck the outſide of the hedge
« ſo full of ſmall ſtakes, and ſo near to one another,
« that it was rather a pale than an hedge, and there
was ſcarce room to put an hand through between
“ them; which afterwards, when thoſe ſtakes grew,
as they all did in the next rainy ſeaſon, made the in-
" cloſure ſtrong, like a wall; indeed itronger than any
FC wall.
« In this place alſo I had my grapes growing, which
i«c I principally depended on for my winter ſtore of rai-
4 fins, and which I never failed to preſerve very care-
"fully, as the beſt and moſt agreeable dainty of my
is whole diet; and indeed they were not agreeable only,
s but phyſical, wholſome, nouriſhing and refreſhing to
the laſt degree.”

“ round a ſmall fire they had made, not
" to warm them, for they had no need
" of that, but to prepare the barbarous
«c diet of human fleſh, which they had
brought with them.”--- Friday's terror
is thus deſcribed :

te feet on: I heartened him up as well as I could ;
to however, I ſaw the poor fellow moſt terribly ſcared,
" for nothing ran in his head but that they were come
« to look for him, and would cut him in pieces and eat
« him; the poor fellow trembled ſo that I ſcarce knew
er what to do with him: I comforted him as well as I
« could, and told him that I was in as much danger as
« he, for that they would eat me as well as him.
I took firſt and divided the arms which I had
< charged, as before, between us : I gave Friday one
piſtol to ſtick in his girdle, and three guns upon his
" ſhoulder; and I took one piſtol, and the other thrée
myſelf; and in this poſture wé marched out.
« I entered the wood, and with all poſſible warineſs
k and filenco (Friday following cloſe at my heels) I
« marched till I came to the ſkirt of the wood, on tlie
« fide which was next to them; only that one corner of
is the wood lay between me and them: here I called
ſoftly to Friday, and ſhewing him a great tree, which
was juſt at the corner of the wood, I badc him go to
" the tree and bring ine word if he could ſee there
of plainly what they were doing : he did ſo, and came
“ immediately to me, and told me they might be plainly
į viewed there ; that they were all about the fire, eating
« the fleſh of one of their priſoners; and that another
" lay bound upon the fand, a little from them, whom
" he ſaid they would kill next, and which fired the very
is ſoul within me. He told me it was not one of their
" nation, but one of the bearded men whom he had
i told me of, who came to their country in the boat.
6 I was filled with horror at the very naming the white-
« bearded man, and going to the tree, I ſaw plainly by
my glaſs; a white man, who lay upon the beach of
the ſea, with his hands and feet tied with flags, or
" things like ruſhes; and that he was an European
s6 and had cloathes on.

« I had now not a moment to loſe; fo I ſet down
« one of the muſkets and the fowling piece upon the
ground, and Friday did the like by his ; and with
" the other muſket I took my aim at the Savages, bid-
“ ding him do the like. Then aſking if he was ready,
" he ſaid yes. Then fire at them, ſaid I; and the
" ſame moment I fired alſo. They were in a dreadful
« conſternation; and all of them, who were not hurt
“ jumped up upon their feet immediately, but did not
“ know which way to run or which way to look; for
« they knew not from whence their deſtruction came.
« Upon which I ruſhed out of the wood and Thewed
“ myſelf, and Friday cloſe at my feet: I made directly
" towards the poor victim, who was lying upon the
« beach. I pulled out my knife and cut the flags that
bound him, and looſing his hands and feet, I lifted
“ him up, making ſigns that he ſhould drink'; and I
gave him bread, which he eat.”
++
t
In this ſcene the plan that Robinſon
Cruſoe followed to ſurprize the Savages,
and the aſſiſtance that Friday gave to
reſcue the victim, are conformable to the
hiſtory.
SCENE VII.
*
Repreſents the inſide of Robinſon
Cruſoe's cave, with the furniture, and
the various contrivances he formed for
ſupplying his wants.
" Had
i
( 19 )
« Had my cave been to be feen, it looked like a ge-
e neral magazine of all neceſſary things, and I had
every thing ſo ready at my hand, that it was a great
pleaſure to me to ſee all my goods in ſuch order,
« and eſpecially to find my ſtock of all neceſſaries ſo
great.
« I made me a table and a chair, in the firſt place,
« and this I did out of the ſhort pieces of boards that
5 I brought on my raft from the ſhip: but when I
shad wrought out ſome boards, I made large ſhelves
“ of the breadth of a foot and a half, one over another,
u all along one ſide of my cave, to lay all my tools,
nails, and iron-work, and in a word, to ſeparate eve-
ry thing at large in their places, that I might eaſily
comeat them; alſo I knocked pieces into the wall of
“ the rock to hang my guns, and all things that would
hang up."
During this ſçene, the found of ſignal
guns gives the firſt notice of ſome ſhip's
having approached the iſland; and in the
ninth ſcene, Robinſon Cruſoe, Friday, &c.
paſs the ſtage towards the ſea-ſhore.
SCENE X.
Diſcovers the Engliſh ſhip at anchor
near the iſland---The ſtory relates it thus :
"
“ I cannot expreſs the confuſion I was in, at the joy
of ſeeing a ſhip, and one, which I had reaſon to

believe, was manned by miy own countrymen.
« When the boat drew near the ſhore, I ſaw it con-
'tained eleven men, whereof three of them were
« unarmed, and bound; and when the firſt four or
« five of them had jumped on ſhore, they took thoſe
" three out of the boat as priſoners : one of the three
“I could perceive uſing the moſt paſſionate geſtures of
« intreaty, ami&tion, and deſpair. The other two .
" lifted up their hands ſometimes, and appeared con-
“ cerned, but not to fo violent a degree. After the
" outrageous uſage of the ſailors, I obſerved they ran
talking about the iſland, while the three others had
is
liberty to go where they pleaſed : and while the fail-
“ors rambled about, they had careleſsly ſtaid 'till the
tide was cbbed away, and their boat'aground. At
! the time they were rambling about, or laid down to
ſleep, the three diſtreſſed men were anxious to take
« refI reſolved to take this time to diſcover myſelf to
“ them, and learn ſomething of their condition. At
« firſt they ſtarted at my appearance, and were con-
"founded at my unaccountable figure; but obſerving
my geſtures, they fell at my feet, and diſcloſed their
" misfortunes explaining to me, that the crew of the
ſhip had inutinįed againík them. Our caſe, Sir,
« faid their leader, is this :- I was commander of that
« fhip; my men having mutinied againſt me, they
« have been hardly prevailed on not to murder me,
" and at laſt have ſet me on ſhore in this defolate place,
" with theſe two men with me, one my mate, the
6 other a paſſenger. After ahis explanation, I condi-
« tioned with them to obey my commands, and in cafe
« of their preſervation, and the recovery of the ſhip, to,
{ carry me and iny ınan Friday to England,

Briſk gales our fails ſhall croud;

Tholigh to the Spaniſhi coali
We're bound to ſteer,
We'll ſtill our rights maintain ;
Then bear a hand, be ſteadý, boys,
Soon you'll ſee
Old England once again :
From Thore to ſhore,
While cannons roar,
Our Tars ſhall ſhew,
The haughty foe,
Britannia rules the main.
