Don John further informed the King, upon the envoy's authority, that Elizabeth had refused assistance to the estates, saying, if she stirred it would be to render aid to Philip, especially if France should meddle in the matter.
Henry remained obstinate in his assertions, notwithstanding all the envoy's protestations. "A fine trick, indeed, and unworthy of a king, 'Si dicere fas est," he wrote to Secretary of State Praets. "But the force of truth is such that he who spreads the snare always tumbles into the ditch himself."
The man who may succeed me will not find that this vile trick will help him much . . . . Pray find out whence and from whom this intrigue has come." Certainly an envoy's position could hardly be more utterly compromised.
Dry thine eyes, for they will be here shortly." Kriemhild had not heard such good news for many a day. She wiped her bright eyes with her snow-white apron, and began to thank the envoy for his message. So ended her sorrow and her tears.
