Passage


There was in Queen Elizabeith I a certain hardness and coarseness of fiber necessary to her enormous task in life. As a private person she would scarcely have been lovable perhaps not even very admirable. But, lonely as she was on the throne, she used all the arts to make herself adored by her Court and her people. Without ceasing to be a woman and while loving life in all its fullness, she made everything a subservient to purposes of state. Her learning endered her to the universities, her courage to the soldiers and sailors. Her conquentry became a means of keeping her countries each in his place and extracting from each one the lust once of personal devotion in the public service. Leicester’s neck might be tickled by royal hand, but his rival Cecil would be trusted in matters of high policy. And Cecil too would serve her better because he feared that she would marry the worthless and intriguing Leicester. Though sometimes posing as a patron of the Puritan party, Leicester had promised King Philip of Spain that, the Roman Catholic Church would be restored in England if Philip would secure his marriage with Elizabeth. Elizabeth’s love of huntingl, dancing, masque pageantry, and display was used to strengthen the popularity, which was her ultimate strength. Her public appearaces and progresses through the country which she thoroughly enjoyed were no dull and formal functions but theatrical events staged by a great player whose heart was in the piece, interchanges of soul between a benevolent sovereign and her loving people.
