Bakche, who before the end of the Battel, being weaken’d with the lofs of blonT
was fore d to retire to his Tent, to have his woundstirdt. Now it was ™ f °,r

Makche fends to his Brother for the naif of the Treafure that he had feiz’d that
he might retire to Cazerar But Amng-zeb for anfwer affur’d him, that he had
no other defign than to advance him to the Throne, to which purpofe hedeiir’d

himfelr indifferently well recover d of his wounds, goes to vilit his Brother, who
kindly welcom d him, extoll’d his courage, and told him he deferv’d the bell
Empne of the world. The young Prince was charm’d by the melody of fuch

ta ven the Eunuchs advice, it was too late ; for Aurair-zcb had already laid his
plot to deftroy him. He invites Morat-B^k to a Feaft; and the more the one
excoies himfelf, the more the other preffes him to come. The young Prince per-
ceivmg he would take no denial, refolv’d to go, for fear of difeovering the mi-

life, and that fome deadly poyfon was brew’d for him. However,he was deceiv’d
m that particular, for Aureng-z.eb not aiming at his life then, contented himfelf
only to deprive him of his liberty, and fo inftead of advancing him to the
1 hrone, fent him away, to be fafely kept in’the Caftle of GavAeor
