Excerpt from Gulliver’s Travels

(1)When I awaked, it was just daylight. I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir:for as I happened to lie on my back, I found my arms and legs were strongly fastened on each side to the ground;and my hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same manner. I likewise felt several slender ligatures across my body, from my armpits1) to my thighs. I could only look upwards;the sun began to grow hot, and the light offended my eyes. I heard a confused noise about me, but in the posture I lay, could see nothing except the sky. In a little time I felt something alive moving on my left leg, which advancing gently forward over my breast, came almost up to my chin;when bending my eyes downwards as much as I could, I perceived2) it to be a human creature not six inches high, with a bow and arrow in his hands, and a quiver3) at his back. In the meantime, I felt at least forty more of the same kind(as I conjectured)following the first. I was in the utmost4) astonishment, and roared so loud, that they all ran back in a fright;and some of them, as I was afterwards told, were hurt with the falls they got by leaping from my sides upon the ground.
