What a refreshing spectacle this is in the annals of family affection 1 Now Elizabeth appears before us no longer the jealously- watched sister, but the potent Queen ; and what a wonder- ful picture is presented as our thoughts glance along the A DAY AT HAMPTON COURT. 265 succession of stirring events that mark her long and pros- perous reign. " The Elizabethan age " is pronounced one of the mosl brilliant of English history. Recall the grand array of men of genius who then existed ; the states...men, soldiers and scholars that followed in her train, shedding a lustre upon the time which has won the admiration of succeeding ages and achieved for England a place in the world's annals that has never been surpassed, if indeed equalled. Think of the dangers that beset her for many years, both at home and abroad ; of the then colossal power of Spain putting forth her strength to stamp out the last spark of the Reformation; of the brave Netherlanders whom she succored with men and money in their sublime struggle for liberty, and which brought upon her own shores the " invincible Armada." See her riding through the camp at Tilbury, cheering her soldiers and calling upon them to be true to their coimtry and religion, offering to lead them herself against the enemy, and assuring them that she would rather perish in battle than survive the ruin and slaveiy of her people.
