Strana 51 - ... nobles of her household. She looked more than once at the wherry in which the young adventurer was seated, spoke to those around her, and seemed to laugh. At length one of the attendants, by the Queen's order apparently, made a sign for the wherry to come alongside, and the young man was desired to step from his own skiff into the Queen's barge, which he performed with graceful agility at the fore part of the boat, and was brought aft to the Queen's presence, the wherry at the same time dropping...
Strana 45 - I told you as much before," said Blount ; " do, I pray you, my dear Walter, let us take boat and return." " Not till I see the Queen come forth," returned the youth, composedly.
Strana 59 - I may have lost," said the youth looking down, " but it was where my best is due ; and that is in your Majesty's service." The Queen paused and then said hastily, " You are very young to have fought so well, and to speak so well.

I take shame to say, that, in our capital, such and so various are the means of thriftless folly, that to give gold to youth is giving fuel to fire, and furnishing them with the means of self-destruction. If I live and reign, these means of unchristian excess shall be abridged. Yet thou may'st be poor...

Strana 58 - Raleigh?" said Elizabeth, after a moment's recollection; "have we not heard of your service in Ireland?" "I have been so fortunate as to do some service there, madam," replied Raleigh, "scarce, however, of consequence sufficient to reach your Grace's ears.
