Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 4 of 8The young king of Scotland addressed a letter of earnest and indignant remonstrance to Elizabeth on the subject of his unfortunate mother, and directed sir William Keith, his ambassador, to unite with the French ambassador in all the efforts he made for averting the doom that was now impend ing over her. Elizabeth long delayed an audience to Keith, and when she did admit him to her presence, she behaved with her wonted duplicity. I swear by the living God! Said she, that I would give one of my own arms to be cut off, so that any means could be found for us both to live in assurance) In another interview she declared, that no human power should ever persuade her to sign the warrant for Mary''s execution. When, however, James was in formed that the sentence against his mother had been pub lished, he wrote a letter expressed in menacing and passionate terms. Elizabeth broke into a storm of fury when Keith delivered his remonstrances, and was with difficulty pre vented from driving him from her presence. Leicester, it appears, interposed, and at last succeeded in pacifying her, and inducing her, on the following day, to dictate a more mo derate reply. Unfortunately, James also abated his lofty tone, and wrote an apology to his royal godmother. From that moment Elizabeth knew that the game was in her own hands, and bore herself with surpassing insolence to the Scotch en voya who were sent to expostulate with her by James.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
