250 SUPPLEMENT.
salute thee emperor of Madagascar — then
will we be archdukes, marquises, earls,
counts, and lords in thy empire— then shall
we most humbly stoop down to kiss and
lick the soles of thy feet — then shall we
have extensive grants of lands given us
—then shall many females watch over thy
slumbers and ours — and then shall we have
the Malegaches as our Keppoch slaves.
That all grace may continue to spring
to thee from beneath— with never failing
vigour and powers — we most devoutly pray
—thine for ever, signed in name and by
appointment,
SIMON TOUCHTOY.
