THE CHARACTER OF Queen ELIZABETH ELIZABETH Queen of England was born

a Lesson or two plaid upon the Lute but she would be much offended if there was any rudeness to any Person any reproach or licentious Reflection used Tarleton who was then the best Comedian in England had made a pleasant Play and when it was acting before the Queen he pointed at Sir Walter Rawleigh and said See the Knave commands the Queen for which he was corrected by a Frown from the Queen yet he had the confidence to add that he was of too much and too intolerable a power and going on with the same liberty he reflected on the over-great Power and Riches of the Earl of Leicester which was so universally applauded by all that were present that she thought fit for the present to bear these Reflections with a seeming unconcernedness But yet she was so offended that she forbad Tarleton and all her Jesters from coming near her Table being inwardly displeased with this impudent and unreasonable Liberty She would talk with Learned Men that had travelled in the presence of many and ask them many Questions concerning the Government Customs and Discipline used abroad She loved a natural Jester that would tell a Story pleasantly and humour it with his Countenance and Gesture and Voice but she hated all those Praters that made bold with other mens Reputation or defamed them She detested as ominous and unfortunate all Dwarfs and Monstrous Births She loved Little Dogs Singing Birds Parrots and Apes And when she was in private she would recreate her self with various Discourses a game at Chess Dancing or Singing Then she would retire into her Bed-chamber where she was attended by married Ladies of the Nobility the Marchioness of Winchester then a Widow the Countess of Warwick and the Lord Scroop's Lady whose Husband was Governor of the West Marshes She would seldom suffer any to wait upon her there except Leicester Hatton Essex Nottingham and Sir Walter Rawleigh who were more intimately conversant with her than anyother of theCourtiers She frequently mixed serious things with her Jests and her Mirth and upon Festival Days and especially in Christmas-time she would play at Cards and Tables which was one of her usual Pastimes and if at any time she happened to win she would be sure to demand the Money When she found her self sleepy she would take her leave of them that were present with much kindness and gravity and so betake her to her rest some Lady of good quality and of her intimate acquaintance always lying in the same Chamber And besides her Guards that were always upon Duty there was a Gentleman of Good Quality and some others up in the next Chamber who were to wake her in case any thing extraordinary happened Though she was endowed with all the Goods of Nature and Fortune and adorned with all those things which are valuable and to be desired yet there were some things in her that were capable of amendment nor was there ever any Mortal whose Virtues were not eclipsed by the neigbourhood of some Vices or Imperfections She was subject to be vehemently transported with Anger and when she was so she would shew it by her Voice her Countenance and her Hand She would chide her familiar Servants so loud that they that stood afar off might sometimes hear her Voice And it was reported that for small Offences she would strike her Maids of Honour with her hand but then her Anger was short and very innocent and she learned from Zenophon's Book Of the Institution of Cyrus the method of curbing and correcting this unruly and uneasie Passion And when her Friends acknowledged their Offences and humbly begged her pardon she with an appeased mind easily forgave them many things She was also of an Opinion That Severity was safe and too much Clemency was destructive and therefore in her Punishments and Justice she was the more severe The worst thing that she did in all her Reign was her treatment of the Queen of Scots who being by her own Subjects driven into Exile and not only deprived of her Regal Authority but of her Liberty her Estate and her Treasures and coming poor and distressed into England upon the Queen's promise and faith given she at first kindly and hospitably received and entertained her but afterwards confined her and at last upon pretence that the Queen of the Scots was plotting against her put her upon her trial condemned and at last executed her making her a sad and unheard-of Example of her cruel and unjust Severity Thus she polluted her happy Reign with the Innocent Blood not of an Enemy but of a Guest The memory of old Disgusts and Injuries prevailing more upon the mind of Queen Elizabeth than the dignity of a Sovereign Queen the Intercession of the Neighbour Princes the Laws of Hospitality the Tears of a Captive and a Kinswoman so that no Intercession no Supplications could take any place in a mind inexorably bent upon Revenge They that would excuse this mournful Action pretend the Queen of Scots was only confined to prevent mischief but she entering into a Conspiracy against the Queen of England in her own Kingdom and her Designs against the Life and Throne of Queen Elizabeth being thus detected there was no other way left to preserve the Life and consult the safety of Queen Elizabeth but by the punishment of the Queen of Scots and others who had conspired to destroy her That all Precautions were in vain and therefore it was absolutely necessary to cut off this Guest though her Cousin and the next Heir after her of the Crown of England and one that by her deprivation of her Kingdom and her Imprisonment in England was deprived of all means to hurt her If she would have taken the right method to secure her self she should have released her Captive and have sent her away which would have cut off the Causes and the Pretences of these Conspiracies and have tended more to her honour and peace than the way she took This Execution of the Queen of the Scots raised in the minds of the Neighbour Princes an enraged Indignation And she her self when she knew the Fact was done and could not be recalled deplored the united and common Indignation of all the Foreign Princes with many tears and gave many signs of her inward grief laying the blame of this wicked action wholly upon the Actors and upon every mention of the death of the Queen of Scots she would to her dying day weep bitterly and lament her misfortune in it So great was the force of her Repentance tho it came too late and was altogether useless It was thought she brought Leicester and Hatton two of her greatest Favourites to their Graves by her hard usages and the many Indignities she put upon them Leicester had offended her by attempting to imbroil the Affairs of the United Provinces in the Netherlands to that end he had suffered his Soldiers to live very irregular and without almost any
