His own ambition, by tempting him to dividehis strength, came to the aid of their weakness. The expensive policyof maintaining traitors in every cabinet of Europe; the support of theLeague in France; the revolt of the Moors in Granada; the conquest ofPortugal, and the magnificent fabric of the Escurial, drained at lasthis apparently inexhaustible treasury, and prevented his acting in thefield with spirit and energy. The German and Italian troops, whom thehope of gain alone allured to his banner..., mutinied when he could nolonger pay them, and faithlessly abandoned their leaders in the decisivemoment of action. These terrible instruments of oppression now turnedtheir dangerous power against their employer, and wreaked theirvindictive rage on the provinces which remained faithful to him. The unfortunate armament against England, on which, like a desperategamester, he had staked the whole strength of his kingdom, completed hisruin; with the armada sank the wealth of the two Indies, and the flowerof Spanish chivalry.
