Five thousand robes, embroidered

years. Queen Elizabeth, or, "Good
Queen Bess," as the people called
her, lay dying. Her life of pleasure
and ambition was fast drawing to its
close; her earthly race was nearly
run. Waving off her courtiers with
one dying hand, she covered her eyes
with the other, and mournfully cried.
