The last of this line of emperors was also remarkable for his érimes and his follies. He was proud, cruel, and debauched. Pos- sessed of great strength and good natural abilities, he abandoned him- self to every species of vice, and to the most dreadful cruelties. In every thing that was base and wicked, he found a fit companion in the infamous female slave Tánki. "They collected a vast concourse of people devoted to pleasure and dissipation; they had made for thein a lake of wine, and surrounded it with meat suspended on trees; to this banquet naked men and women resorted, and passed long nights in drunkenness and debauchery. Profligacy to this ex- tent is more than the common sense of mankind, in the worst of times can approve. The king and court fell into contempt." Most Horrible ctimes and punishment followed.
