"Oh," she cried, "if thou art Mary, know that mistress of thy actions thou mayst not be, but thou dost reign in truth a queen over this poor heart." The dark eyes of Mary Stuart filled with tears and she pressed the girl's hand tenderly. "Such homage is sweet to the poor captive, my lad. It gladdens our heart to know that there are some who still hold Mary in reverence.
Your intention to publish Sebastian Bach's works really gladdens my heart, which beats with devotion for the lofty and grand productions of this our father of the science of harmony, and I trust I shall soon see them appear. I hope when golden peace is proclaimed, and your subscription list opened, to procure you many subscribers here.
Thou nation born in freedom land of kings Whose laws protect the very feathered things, Uplifting last and least to high estate That none be overlooked and none too great! Is all thy freedom good for thee alone? Is earth thy footstool? Are the clouds thy throne? Shall other peoples reach thy hand to take That gladdens only thee for thine own sake?
My master knows that the great King of Prussia loves music as he does, and that it gladdens your heart as it does his own. When he goes to battle which is but going to victory he takes with him his musicians and dancers, who must perform the dance of triumph before him.
