by him Ah! Madam added he think not by that Pretext to abuse me it will be to no purpose for you to think to stop my revenge and let it be as you will have it that too happy Tudor shall die and he shall pay for the freakishness of Fortune that appoints some to so much happiness whilest others wrestle with the Torments of a wretched life He presently went out with the Mine and Gate of a Man who was to be feared The Queen could not behold him in that condition without Trembling for Tudor and at this instant she felt a shivering that never left her till she died In the mean time the Duke of Glocester sent some of the Guards to apprehend that Prince but they narrowly miss'd him for he was gone a little before to wait upon the Queen upon the news he had received that their Confident was Assassinated He entered her apartment unseen of any and finding the Princess in a Posture that might have drawn Tears from the most obdured hearts it was long before he gave any sign of sorrow by words but instead of that he made appear in his Countenance the utmost effects of extream affliction Afterward he looked tenderly on that amiable Princess and speaking to her fully as much with his Eyes as Mouth What is the news then said he my dear Queen and what should I think of the cruel condition wherein I see you Ah! Prince we are undone answered the Queen and the Duke of Glocester has discovered our secret he hath intercepted a Letter which I sent you to day by my Chamberlain and in a word we are betrayed That faithful Servant is dead Madam replied Tudor and was murthered hard by my house I am come purposely hither to pay my duty to my Princess and to know of her if she had heard of that fatal accident Alas no answered the Queen and I began almost to suspect him of Treachery but at length I am convinced of his innocence and who have been his murtherers There is no doubt but the Duke has committed that crime and not satisfied with the death of that Wretch he threatens also the Life of my dear Tudor At the same time she told him all that had passed between the Duke and her and had no strength to speak any more about the end of her discourse she fainted away and came not to her self again till half an hour after but was feised on with so burning a Feaver that she alarmed all that were with her In the mean time Tudor was in no better condition and he could not behold these sad Marks of kindness which his Princess shewed him without the bitterest Agonies of grief but he had shortly occasion to be overwhelmed with sorrow For the Queen understanding that the Duke of Glocester's Guards had been at the Princes house to apprehend him and that he was sought after in all places she thought him utterly undone and that nothing could save him from his rage She obliged him to suffer himself to be shut up in a Closet behind her Bed but that circumspection delivered her not from her fears and her Feaver got immediately up into her Brain and made her Light-headed which in two days time brought her to the last extremity It is hard to tell the sufferings of Tudor when he saw the Queen in that condition nor can I even tell which of the two was most to be pitied he looked upon her with all imaginable tenderness and had no other way to express his grief but by a flood of Tears which streamed from his Eyes The Queen was sensibly affected at his pains and striving against her distemper that she might again speak to him Prince said she if you would oblige me be not so much afflicted consider you have Children and that for them you owe your preservation Take no care of the Mother and reserve for these dear pledges which I leave to you of my kindness the Testimonies that now you give me of your Love Having so said she embraced Tudor and mingling together the Memorie of his pains and Love breathed out her last between his Arms leaving all in an uncertainty whether she died for Joy or Grief The Unfortunate Tudor melting in Tears stretched himself upon the Body which he endeavored to warm again by his embraces but finding it cold and past all sense he was at length convinced of his misery He continued long in a fearful extasie but so soon as he came to himself he resigned all his contents to despair Ah! Pavini cried he your knowledg is great and you have to the least circumstances foretold my unhappiness My Queen will not now be troubled at my death seeing that Illustrious Princess is gone He said no more but leaving the Chamber went streight to the Duke of Glocester He accosted that Duke with the resolution of a Man that fears not death and having cast a disdainful look upon him Make an end barbarous man said he of the Tragedy you have so well begun and seeing my lovely Princess is by your cruelties now expired why are you so slow to make me feel the same measure of Injustice and to reunite above what was so well Joyned here below The Queen is dead replied the Duke in a great surprise is it possible good God! do I hear that fatal news and do not I die for grief With that he fetched several sighs and turning to Tudor in the height of rage Yes yes Traitour said he I shall speedily grant your desire and your blood shall supply the Tears that you have made me shed He called his Guards immediately and having ordered them to carry him to Prison he lockt himself up in his Chamber where he mournfully lamented his destiny But he quickly changed his Love into fury for within a few days he caused a Scaffold to be erected where he commanded Tudor to be put to death The poor Prince was led to Execution as if he had been guilty but instead of complaining of the Dukes cruelty he prayed a certain friend to thank him in his name for the favour he did him because by his means he hoped shortly to see his lovely Queen again He laid down his head to the Executioner who having by one blow divided it from his Body shewed the Spectators by that Memorable Catastrophe how little there is between the highest bliss and the lowest misery FINIS A Catalogue of some Books Printed for and Sold by Jonathan Edwin at the Three Roses in Ludgate-street THe Commentaries of C.
