The royalty of Francis, the wit of Chastelar, the power and gallantry of the gay Gordon, the melody of Rizzio, the portly form and youthful grace of Darnley, the bold address and courtly manners of Bothwell and now the deep-devoted passion of the noble Douglas nought could save them! they looked on the wretched Mary, and to have loved her was crime enough to deserve early death!
"Wretched boy," said the distracted Lady of Lochleven, "hast thou fallen even thus far into the snare of this Moabitish woman? hast thou bartered thy name, thy allegiance, thy knightly oath, thy duty to thy parents, thy country, and thy God, for a feigned tear, or a sickly smile, from lips which flattered the infirm Francis lured to death the idiot Darnley read luscious poetry with the minion Chastelar mingled in the lays of love which were sung by the beggar Rizzio and which were joined in rapture to those of the foul and licentious Bothwell?"

The gentle husband of my girlhood then the frantic Chastelar, my poor, poor good Davie, Darnley, Bothwell, Geordie Douglas, young Willie, and again Norfolk, and the noble and knightly Don John! One spark of love and devotion to the wretched Mary, and all is over with them! Give me back that paper, child, and warn Babington against ever dreaming of aid to a wretch like me. I will perish alone!
