one o'clock
For Music in their Churches they have a perfect Passion . The City is well furnished with Necessaries ; but the want of Cellarage makes all the Wine sour . The Inhabitants are of a Fresh Complexion , and not much troubled with Coughs ; which is strange , they having so much Water about 'em . They begin their day at Sunset , and count one o'clock an hour after , and so on to twenty-four ; which is likewise a Custom , I believe , among the Chineses . They bury their Dead within the Four-and-Twenty Hours , and sometimes sooner . The Funerals of Persons of Quality are performed with great Pomp and Solemnity ; and the deceased are carried to the Place of Interment with their Faces bare . Whilst I was in Venice , their Patriarch -LRB- who is a kind of Independent Pontiff in his own way ; for , as I have said , they reckon but little of his Holiness here -RRB- died , and was buried with this Ceremony .
