They halted, and a female voice spoke in a whisper, saying, "Here's the key."
The Polish election is the clue to the labyrinthian intrigues and royal tergiversations during the period of the interregnum. Sigismund Augustus, last of the Jagellons, had died on the 7th July; 1572. The prominent candidates to succeed him were the Archduke Ernest, son of the Emperor, and Henry of Anjou.

But when I look, and cast mine eyes below, What monster meets mine eyes in human show?
