My island was now peopled, and I thought myself very rich
in subjects; and it was a merry reflection, which I
frequently made, how like a king I looked. First of all, the
whole country was my own property, so that I had an

perfectly subjected-I was absolutely lord and
lawgiver-they all owed their lives to me, and were ready
to lay down their lives, if there had been occasion for it, for
me. It was remarkable, too, I had but three subjects, and

a Protestant, his father was a Pagan and a cannibal, and
the Spaniard was a Papist. However, I allowed liberty of
conscience throughout my dominions.
