" Evidently she is angry ; but it is not on the note of anger that she ends. Azzolino, together with his reproaches, has sent her a manuscript and asked her opinion of it. So she concludes — " Your comedy is very fine. It is the antidote of your letters. But, alas ! my troubles are real, and your only remedy for them is poetry. But that shall not prevent me from remaining yours ever until death. Adieu ! " So that we are warranted in quoting Aman- tium irce amoris integratio est ; and, meanwhile..., 278 COURT OF CHRISTINA OF SWEDEN we have to follow Christina in the pursuit of a fresh ambition, in which she was to have Azzolino for her chief champion. Just as her restless fancy had once cherished the dream of becoming Queen of Naples, so now she dreamed, for a little while, of becoming Queen of Poland.
279 CHAPTER XXIV Christina's candidature for the vacant throne of Poland — Her motives for preferring it — Presumption that Azzolino grasped at the chance of getting rid of her — Her own indifference to the result of the election — Her candidature regarded as ridiculous — Its failure The sovereignty of Poland was not hereditary, but elective ; and, if permitted space, one might make Polish history furnish a melancholy object-lesson on the advantages of the heredi- tary principle.
