85 CHAPTER VII. OF THE PRISONERS. ** Before I enter into particulars, pray take notice of the gaolers at the entrance into these horrid places. The ancient poets placed but one Cerberus at hell gates, but here is a far greater :^umber, as you see. These gaolers are villains who have lost all senti- ments of humanity. The wickedest of my brethren could hardly supply the place of one. But I find, " added he, " you look with horror on these rooms, where all the furniture is a wretched bed ; and th...ose frightful dungeons appear to you like so many graves. It is with reason that you are astonished at the misery of these places, and pity the fate of those wretches whom the law detains in them. Yet they do not all deserve t'ne same compassion ; their merits, therefore, shall be the subject of our examination. " First of all, in that large chamber on the right, are four men lying on those two wretched beds you see. One is a vintner accused of poisoning a stranger, who the other day dropped down dead in his house.
