Mary Stuart Act 4 Scene 1 by Friedrich Schiller Lyrics

Antechamber

COUNT AUBESPINE, the EARLS Of KENT and LEICESTER

AUBESPINE.
How fares her majesty? My lords, you see me
Still stunned, and quite beside myself for terror!
How happened it? How was it possible
That in the midst of this most loyal people——

LEICESTER.
The deed was not attempted by the people.
The assassin was a subject of your king,
A Frenchman.

AUBESPINE.
Sure a lunatic.

LEICESTER.
A papist,
Count Aubespine!
