On Monday the 26th, Don John of Austria came to Court to give the Empress joy, but the ceremony performed, returned immediately, the same day, to a retiring place his Highness had at Ocana, near Aranjuez, which famous seat of royal recreation, for a farewell, the Empress lay at night at, being in her way to Denia, where she was to embark.

We turned back in the direction of Aranjuez, the horses, notwithstanding the nature of the ground, galloping at full speed; but our adventures were not over.

As far as the darkness would permit us to distinguish, they were naked, but each bore in his hand a long gun.
And if by your command this theft was done KING. It was so done! QUEEN. Then I have none to blame, And none to pity other than yourself Since you possess a wife on whom such schemes Are thrown away. KING. This language is not new Nor shall you, madam, now again deceive me As in the gardens of Aranjuez My queen of angel purity, who then So haughtily my accusation spurned I know her better now.

"Berlin ... Berne ... Paris ... Cerbère ... Barcelona ... Madrid ... Aranjuez and the world"; and back again, reversing the order: "Madrid ... Barcelona ... Cerbère ... Paris ... Berne ... Berlin." But the throb of the train set the interrogation at the end of the string of names. So that the sequence of them was like a question demanding confirmation....
And often have I blushed for shame, And stood with eyes abashed, to learn perchance From foreign envoys, or the general rumor, Thy courtly doings at Aranjuez. KING. Thy blood flows far too hotly in thy veins. Thou would'st but ruin all. CARLOS. But try me, father. 'Tis true my blood flows hotly in my veins. Full three-and-twenty years I now have lived, And naught achieved for immortality.
