Essex laid his head upon the block, and it required three blows to complete its severance from the body. When the deed was done, the executioner took up the bleeding head, saying solemnly, as he held it, "God save the queen." There were but few spectators present at this dreadful scene, and they were chiefly persons required to attend in the discharge of their official duties.
