KENNEDY
Those writings are in French.
PAULET
So much the worse!
That tongue betokens England's enemy.
KENNEDY
Sketches of letters to the Queen of England.
PAULET
I'll be their bearer. Ha! what glitters here?
[He touches a secret spring, and draws out jewels from a private drawer.
A royal diadem enriched with stones,
And studded with the fleur-de-lis of France.
[He hands it to his assistant.
Here, take it, Drury; lay it with the rest.
[Exit DRURY.
[And ye have found the means to hide from us Such costly things, and screen them, until now, From our inquiring eyes?]
KENNEDY
Oh, insolent
And tyrant power, to which we must submit.
PAULET
She can work ill as long as she hath treasures;
For all things turn to weapons in her hands.
KENNEDY (supplicating)
Oh, sir! be merciful; deprive us not
Of the last jewel that adorns our life!
'Tis my poor lady's only joy to view
This symbol of her former majesty;
Your hands long since have robbed us of the rest.
PAULET
'Tis in safe custody; in proper time
'Twill be restored to you with scrupulous care.
KENNEDY
Who that beholds these naked walls could say
That majesty dwelt here? Where is the throne?
Where the imperial canopy of state?
Must she not set her tender foot, still used
To softest treading, on the rugged ground?
With common pewter, which the lowliest dame
Would scorn, they furnish forth her homely table.
PAULET
Thus did she treat her spouse at Stirling once;
And pledged, the while, her paramour in gold.
KENNEDY
Even the mirror's trifling aid withheld.
PAULET
The contemplation of her own vain image
Incites to hope, and prompts to daring deeds.
KENNEDY
Books are denied her to divert her mind.
PAULET
The Bible still is left to mend her heart.
KENNEDY
Even of her very lute she is deprived!
PAULET
Because she tuned it to her wanton airs.
KENNEDY
Is this a fate for her, the gentle born,
Who in her very cradle was a queen?
Who, reared in Catherine's luxurious court,
Enjoyed the fulness of each earthly pleasure?
Was't not enough to rob her of her power,
Those writings are in French.
