- By way of embellishing their persons, they dye their beards with a great
- variety of the most florid hues. This custom prevails elsewhere among
- many of the Indians, who bestow great attention on dyeing both their hair
- and their garments with the colours of surprising beauty which their
- country produces. The people in other respects are frugal, but are fond
- of ornament.
