I need not tell you with what haste I exchanged my place in the English army, to one in a regiment starting for India; or, how I fought upon its burning plains, amongst the brave and the victorious. Even then, that last look pursued me. I studied with the learned, in Eastern lore. I was praised for my knowledge. Learning and enterprise were my pursuits--my society, the bold, and free-thinking; and my mind and imagination unfettered. But, what the world calls vice, that I knew not--there was something in the long forgotten, but not unfelt, impressions of childhood, and a mother's purity and love, that kept me back from that--and, while my charity was profuse, and my hand dealt bountifully to mankind, I proudly turned upon the professors of religion, and, as I held their weak points up to scandal, I bade them acknowledge the superiority of my moral code.
