After he had slumber'd, rather than slept, about half an Hour, he wak'd again, and comes out of the Cave to me; for I had been milking my Goats, which I had in the Enclosure just by: When he espy'd me, he came running to me, laying himself down again upon the Ground, with all the possible Signs of an humble thankful Disposition, making a many antick Gestures show it: At last he lays his Head flat upon the Ground, close to my Foot, and sets my other Foot upon his Head, as he had done before; and after this, made all the Signs to me of Subjection, Servitude, and Submission imaginable, to let me know, how he would serve me as long as he liv'd; I understood him in many Things, and let him know, I was very well pleas'd with him; in a little Time I began to speak to him, and teach him to speak to me; and first, I made him know his Name should be Friday, which was the Day I sav'd his Life; I call'd him so for the Memory of the Time; I likewise taught him to say Master, and then let him know, that was to be my Name; I likewise taught him to say, YES, and No, and to know the Meaning of them; I gave him some Milk, in an earthen Pot, and let him see me Drink it before him, and sop my Bread in it; and I gave him a Cake of Bread, to do the like, which he quickly comply'd with, and made Signs that it was very good for him.

他的皮肤不怎么黑，略带棕色，然而不像巴西人或弗吉尼亚人或美洲其他土人的肤色那样黄金褐色的，令人生厌，而是一种深茶青色的，油光乌亮，令人爽心悦目，劫难以用言语形容。他的脸圆圆胖胖的，鼻子却很小，但又不像一般黑人的鼻子那样扁；他的嘴形长得也很好看，嘴唇薄薄的，牙齿又平又白，白得如同象牙。他并没有睡得死死的，实际上只打了半小时的盹就醒来了。他一醒来就跑到洞外来找我，因为当时我正在挤羊奶，我的羊圈就在附近。他一见到我，立刻向我奔来，爬在地上，做出各种各样的手势和古怪的姿势，表示他臣服感激之心。最后，他又把头放在地上，靠近我的脚边，然后又像上次那样，把我的另一只脚放到他的头上，这样做之后，又向我作出各种姿势，表示顺从降服，愿终身做我的奴隶，为我效劳。他的这些意思我都明白了。我告诉他，我对他非常满意。不久，我就开始和他谈话，并教他和我谈话。首先，我告诉他，他的名字叫"星期五"，这是我救他命的一天，这样取名是为了纪念这一天。

将此例推及朋友，亦有此问。毋庸置疑，念念不忘复仇者只会使自己的创伤新鲜如初，而那创伤本来是可以愈合的。报公仇多半会为复仇者带来幸运，如为消撒大帝之死而复仇，为佩尔蒂纳之死而复仇，以及为法王亨利三世之死而复仇等等。但报私仇却不会有这般幸运；与此相反，欲报私仇者过的是巫师一般的生活，他们活着时于人有害，死去则可叹可悲。
