"And you, silent Wisehead Saint Simon, what is your judgement?" "Oh, sir, I think Denis is quite right; but I should like to add one thing." "Hah!" cried the King. "This fight has made you find your tongue, my lad. Now then, let's have what you think about Master Leoni's offence." "I think, sir, that we had better get on a little faster, for I don't want another fight to-night."
Before leaving this interesting subject, I ought to add that the blind man on the reverse of Leoni's medal is clearly a rough and ready sketch of Michelangelo, not treated like a portrait, but with indications sufficient to connect the figure with the highly wrought profile on the obverse.
"I am very sorry, sir," replied the captain sternly, "but I have his Majesty's orders." "But not to brutally slay the King's guest. I am a chirurgien, and you may take my word." The captain took a candle in his hand and held it over the rough pallet where Francis lay, and satisfied himself that Leoni's words were true. "Is the injury bad?" he said quietly.
His life or mine," something within him seemed to keep on saying, till the end of the sentry's beat appeared to be quite over-passed and he was coming nearer, so near that Leoni felt he saw him at last and the crisis was there, when the man stopped, hesitated for a moment, then began pacing back just as before but not quite, for almost as soon as his back was turned Leoni's command over his nerves and muscles ceased, and he began to glide silently along by the tapestried panels to reach Saint Simon and the King at last.
Then with a quick movement Francis thrust back Leoni's arm and walked proudly up towards Henry's chair bowing slightly once to right and left as he swept with disdainful eye the now silent throng.
I pray you to go on loving me, and when occasion serves, to favour me; and to Signer Tomao dei Cavalieri say that I shall never be unmindful of him." It is clear, then, I think, that Leoni's model was made at Rome in 1560, cast at Milan, and sent early in the spring of 1561 to Michelangelo.
"I can only think of one way, Sire, and that is that I should go as what I am a doctor a part, I believe, that I could worthily play." "Of course," said the King. "There is not a better doctor in the world." Leoni's eyes flashed, as he bowed his head gravely. "But you are not going," said the King decisively.
"Yes, my boy," said the doctor; and the lad shivered slightly as the fierce fire in one of Leoni's eyes died into a pleasant smile, though the cold fixed stare in the other remained the same as of old. "I thought I was alone." "Well, boy; do you like your life here in the castle?" "Oh yes," cried Denis; "but when are we to have, Carrbroke and I, another fencing lesson?"
Old men are often ignorant or careless about the exact tale of years they have performed. There is reason to believe that Leoni's original model of the profile, the likeness he shaped from life, and which he afterwards used for the medallion, is extant and in excellent preservation. Mr.
And Leoni snatched the cloak which Denis had thrown on a chair and wrapped it round the King. "We will start at once, sir." "Yes," said Francis, "we will start at once at once." And he leaned heavily on Leoni's arm, while the latter drew the heavily plumed hat which the boy handed him lower over the King's features. Denis accompanied them to the door. "Farewell," he said.
