and there9 parallels
etc. Either there was no friend or relation left to bury them , or none was allowed to perform this last sad office. The despotism of eastern princes often proceeds to such a degree of extravagance as to fill the mind with astonishment and horror. In Morocco , no person dares to bury the body of a malefactor without an order from the emperor; and Windus , speaking of a man who was to have been sawn in two , informs us , that "his body must have remained to be eaten by the dogs , if the emperor had not pardoned him."
