:13:01
What else but the succession?
:13:03
Our poor Queen cannot find
the time to die in peace.
:13:06
I fear she may pass over
and leave the matter unresolved.
:13:10
Would that she had seen a child live
to comfort the kingdom.
:13:13
One might have hoped that
a field so often ploughed
:13:17
Might have yielded one good crop.
:13:19
In truth, I have seen
healthier graveyards
:13:22
Than that woman's womb.
:13:50
Come on!
:13:59
I am asked on what side
Your Grace will declare himself.
:14:03
Where Argyll goes,
the path must be firm and broad.
:14:08
And now all watch
to see which way to jump.
:14:11
One cannot go to the closet
:14:13
but what some adherent to James
is praising your pish.
:14:38
I confess to a certain
weariness in this whole issue
:14:41
and look to Your Grace
to give some lead.
:14:44
All I could answer in honesty
:14:46
was that it would be the one
most inclined to his own benefit.
:14:49
Damn it, man. You talk too much.
:14:51
Can you not tend to your wager?
:14:55
Argyll, my wager is well won.
