SHAWALAM YASHARA'AL!
This is di 'Rise of New Atlantis '
I'm about to read an excerpt from Francis Bacon's book
Also know as William Shakespeare
Yuh done nuh say he was a man
But hear me now, and I will tell you what I know.
You shall understand that there is not under
The heavens so chaste a nation of... as this of
Ben Salem being Son of Peace
Nor so free from all pollution or foulness.
It is the virgin of the world.
I remember I have read in one of your European books,
Of an holy hermit amongst you that desired to see the Spirit of
Fornication; and there appeared to him a little foul ugly Aethiop.
But if he had desired to see the Spirit of Chastity of Bensalem,
It would have appeared to him in the
Likeness of a fair beautiful Cherubim.
For there is nothing amongst mortal men
More fair and admirable, than the chaste minds of this people.
Know therefore, that with them there are no stews,
No dissolute houses, no courtesans, nor anything of that kind.
