To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sainte-Beuve has said as much in eloquent terms : " That gentle charm with which she was endowed, and which acted on all who approached her, resumes the ascendancy and works upon us from a distance. It is neither with a regis- trar's text, nor even with the reason of a states- man, that one judges her, but with the heart of a chevalier, or, say rather, of a man. Humanity, pity, religion, poetic and supreme grace, all these invincible immortal powers, have an interest in her person, and cry alou...d in her behalf across the ages." Even if we admit that Mary Stuart had been guilty, which for our own point we strongly doubt, are we not still more affected by the sanc- tity of her repentance? In the night preceding AND HER CONTEMPOBABIES 205 her execution she searched the Old and New Testaments for an example of some great sinner whom God had pardoned, and chose the history of the good thief to be read to her. "He was a great sinner," said she, "but not so great as I; I entreat our Saviour, by the memory of His passion, to remember and have mercy on me as He did on him." VII CATHEKINE DE' MEDICI REGENT TO Francis II.
