CHAPTER I--DESCRIPTION OF A PALACE IN A VALLEY.Ye who listen with credulity to the whispers of fancy, and pursuewith eagerness the phantoms of hope; who expect that age willperform the promises of youth, and that the deficiencies of thepresent day will be supplied by the morrow, attend to the historyof Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia.Rasselas was the fourth son of the mighty Emperor in whosedominions the father of waters begins his course--whose bountypours down the streams of plenty, and scatters over the world theharvests of Egypt.According to the custom which has descended from age to age amongthe monarchs of the torrid zone, Rasselas was confined in a privatepalace, with the other sons and daughters of Abyssinian royalty,till the order of succession should call him to the throne.The place which the wisdom or policy of antiquity had destined forthe residence of the Abyssinian princes was a spacious valley inthe kingdom of Amhara, surrounded on every side by mountains, ofwhich the summits overhang the middle part. The only passage bywhich it could be entered was a cavern that passed under a rock, ofwhich it had long been disputed whether it was the work of natureor of human industry. The outlet of the cavern was concealed by athick wood, and the mouth which opened into the valley was closedwith gates of iron, forged by the artificers of ancient days, somassive that no man, without the help of engines, could open orshut them.
