Text Appearing Before Image:
^, restrain your wrath;you have renown for gentleness and nobleness; be pleased todo nought whereby it may be diminished ; if you have not pityon yonder folk, all others will say that it was great cruelty onyour part to put to death these six honorable burghers, who oftheir own free will have put themselves at your mercy to savethe others. The king gnashed his teeth, saying, Sir Walter,hold your peace; let them fetch hither my headsman ; the peo-ple of Calais have been the death of so many of my men that itis but meet that yon fellows die also. Then, with great humil-ity, the noble queen, who was very nigh her delivery, threwherself on her knees at the feet of the king, saying, Ah !gentle sir, if, as you know, I have asked nothing of you fromthe time that I crossed the sea in great peril, I pray you humbly
Text Appearing After Image:
QUEEN PHILIPPA AT THE FEET OF THE KING. — Page 314. Chap. XX.) THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR. 315 that as a special boon, for the sake of Holy Marys Son and forthe love of me, you will please to have mercy on these sixmen. The king did not speak at once, and fixed his eyes onthe good dame his wife, who was weeping piteously on herknees. She softened his stern heart, for he would have beenloath to vex her in the state in which she was; and he said toher, Ha! dame, I had much rather you had been elsewherethan here ; but you pray me such prayers that I dare not refuseyou, and though it irks me much to do so, there! I give themup to you; do with them as you will. Thanks, heartythanks, my lord, said the good queen. Then she rose up andraised up the six burghers, had the ropes taken off their necks,and took them with her to her chamber, where she had freshclothes and dinner brought to them. Afterwards she gave themsix nobles apiece, and had them led out of the host in all safety.Edward was choler
