THE MVRTHER OF HENRY THE FOVRTH THE LATE FRENCH KING MY Liege I had made my selfe ready to write of the Pomps and Royalties at the Coronation of the Queene from which purpose I am so altered that I am at this time bound to speake of the great griefe of Fraunce and of the faithfulnesse of the French Nation But it greeues me to represent that vnto you which is too much in your memory yet the King your father hath left such an estimation of his life that I cannot refuse the last duties of my pen. It is true that there should be an Apelles to paint worthily so great and conquering an Alexander and therfore I beare the praises of his Palmes to them that shall sit downe to write of his victories if there can be a pen found to flie as farre as the brute of his armes and the renowne of them doth sound And if a tongue could haue as many good sayings as this Prince had valour and clemencie to conquer and pardon his enemies how many tongues could be heard of your subiects that haue felt the fruites of the peace the which his courage procured them and which his grace preferred them vnto The remembrance of which should call them to come and water his Toombe with their teares and then render the testimonie of their faithfulnesse to your Maiestie and beginning by their plaints for their losses an acknowledgement of the lawfulnesse of your succession My Liege as the birds testifie by their silence the displeasure they haue by the losse of the sunne and how they doe salute the Spring like reioycing Citizens with their melodious harmony euen so your Subiects proue the iust sorrowes that they apprehend by the death of his Maiestie and come at the beginning of your Reigne crying for ioy Viue le Roy long Liue the king And you Lady if you can promise to your selfe that you may giue truce to your griefes marke the losse of your Spouse and the zeale of the Princes of your kingdome that hauing no sooner seen the lying down of the king your husband but are as soone come to salute the rising vp of your sonne as their Soueraigne The Princes I do not name them haue beene the first that haue offered him their swords so recommendable are the effects that haue beene seene vnder whose defence he is so strengthned they by him so supported all France defended that not a heart that neede to feare if heauen doe not fall The Officers of the Crowne the Peeres of France and all the noble French that all other Nations may take example to obey their Prince they haue witnessed couragiously that death hath had no power to shake their constancie and fidelity The chiefe of Iustice and the soueraigne Senate haue found acknowledge that you shewed them pitty when you had all might to commaund And hee that hath the gouernment of policy hath put order to disorder that where it did appeare the whole world was resolued to weepe for the dead Prince they are now as ready to honour the liuing And you Frenchmen that are come frō all parts to see the Coronation of your Queene are the eye-witnesses of her establishment the which you haue beheld celebrated in greater glory and pompe then you could imagine on Thursday the thirteenth of May according to the French computation yet you haue seene her on Friday the fourteenth following in a more violent affliction then may be named or expressed They then that had the curiosity to see her triumph on the one day cannot chuse but haue compassion to behold her widowhood on the next But great calmes are euer the fore-runners of great stormes The Marriners are not proud to make their sailes swell with a prosperous winde neither loose they their courage in the violence of tempest So as you haue looked with great modesty on the Coronation of your Queene regard her losse with constancie and let the thought of obedience neuer slide from your duties whereby it may appeare that the Vnion of France is a terror to all other Nations that you can conquer as well as fight know how to giue law to your enemies with force as you can take it from your king with humility And that this may serue you as a proofe that you haue had the most valiant king the most mercifull the most wise and the most iudicious that euer was beloued of his people feared of his enemies and admired of all the world It is your duties by your duty a benefit to desire that his Sonne succeede him in his perfections as well as in his kingdomes that the vertue of the Queene established as Regent in those kingdomes do supply the youth of the king and he with her prudence make good to Fraunce the promises by the birth of a Son In the meane time we shall endour cōplaining for him whose losse we begin to find and tell this history to our posterity In Paris the chiefe city of France whom al Prouinces doe owe homage vnto for the meruailes which be found in her being more properly to be termed more soone to be found a little world then a great City A miserable Assasin and a damnable Parricide borne at Angoulesme named Francis Rauaillart hath bereaued vs of the Father of our Patrimonie taken away the Pearle of kings and vndone vs of the perfection of the world This villaine who hauing beene preuented of the violence of this fatall blow and the fury of his intent in foure seuerall attempts by the protection of the highest vigilance of his Guards the Friday the fourteenth of May waighting his opportunity he found him in his Caroche in the end of the streete of Ferronnerie who seeing the Caroche stayd by the meeting of a Caroche and a Cart as the King should passe he came out of a shop where he had kept himselfe against the kings cōming although somewhat distracted in shewe of face before the attempt and so came to the Caroche where his Maiesty was as he was then in earnest talke with other Peeres who were then present in company with him himselfe dreadles of such an imminent danger leaning on the Columne hee gaue him two blowes with a knife with so suddaine an executiō that the murther was sooner found then the murtherer yet in the end by diligent search he was taken and the king caried back to the Louu're with the teares of the Lords receaued with plaints at his cōming back The Counsell rose all the City was in an vprore
