Leeuw, Thomas de.
[Cologne : Johann Bussemacher,
1587].
Engraved portrait of Mary Queen of Scots derived from a painting by Thomas de Leeu.
The only other known copy (in the British Library) preserves an eight-line epitaph in two verses which is missing from the foot of this copy: 'Illo ego, quae Fata sum regali stirpe parentum, / Hoc tumulo parva contumulata tegor. / Hucque meo constans generoso in pectore virtus, / Prissacque me torfit, nec temeranda fides / Stemmata nil faciunt, nil prosunt sceptra, sed una, / Dum vixit, pietas, gloria nostra fuit. / Vtque Petri cathedram revereri discas, ob illam, / En mea martyris colla refecta vides'.
Mary, Queen of Scots, 1542-1587
