neglect to take it up? The audacious front with which Henry faced Europe, with which he insisted on the justice of his cause, compelled the Pope in private to acknowledge it, tortured him for years with his demand, might have been covered with dishonour. The King could
not by any recklessness, any daring,
any genius, have maintained his position in the face of such an exposure, had there been anything real to expose-and that no such attempt was made implies that there was nothing, or nothing which could
be proved. An accusation from the Court of Rome or of the Empire, could not have been ventured, because it must have been made good with evidence-convenient calumnies might circulate privately, where kings could not stoop to notice them.
Thus the matter appears to me; but the laws of probability are differently understood. I have thrown fresh light upon a dark subject, but the likelihood or unlikelihood of the truth of the story remains where it
And there, upon that lonely shore
Two exiles wandered on,
Without a friend or home on earth-
The widow and her son.
'I am so weary and so cold!'
Thus feebly wailed the child;
'And since my father left us here,
You never once have smiled;
'Yet when he went, you told me not
To grieve, for he had trod
The blessed path which leads to heaven,
Where now he lives with God.
'Oh, mother, sure yon path of light
Which spans the troubled sea,
And stretches right up to the sky,
The path to heaven must be!
'Then come, and let us follow it,
And leave this world of pain
For that bright home where all are kind,
And joys for ever reign.'
He spoke, and raised his little hands
As one who mercy craves;
Then sank-and when the daylight broke
Over the solemn waves,
In tearless sorrow o'er her dead
The widow bent alone,
Teaching her broken heart to say,
'O Lord, thy will be done!'
