REMARKABLE SATIRIC DRAWING COEVAL WITH, AND EMBLEMATICAL OF, MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS AND THE EARL OF BOTHWELL.

R

PRESERVED in the State Paper Office is a rude satirical drawing, made apparently at the time when public attention was inflamed by the murder of Darnley, and by the precipitate and inauspicious alliance of Mary with his destroyer, Bothwell, wherein the Queen of Scots is depicted as a mermaid, and her lover, or betrayer, as a hare. Strange to say, this remarkable sketch is now for the first time, we believe, made public; the representation of it above, only diminished in size, being an exact facsimile of the original.

There is a passage of surpassing delicacy and loveliness in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the precise interpretation of which remains to the present day a subject of contention to Shakspearean scholars :

Oberon. That very time I saw (but thou couldst not) Flying between the cold moon and the earth, Cupid, all arm'd: a certain aim he took

At a fair vestal throned by the west;

And loos'd his love-shaft smartly from his bow,

As it should pierce a hundred thousand hearts:

But I might see young Cupid's fiery shaft

Quench'd in the chaste beams of the wat'ry moon,
And the imperial votaress passed on

In maiden meditation, fancy free.

No one disputes the application of the latter part of this most exquisite description to Queen Elizabeth; the question controverted is whether by

The mermaid on a dolphin's back

is meant, as Warburton surmised, Mary Queen of Scots.Illustrated London News, 25 May, 1861.

The present opinion of this official record preserved in the State Paper Office is, that it is a drawing coeval with, and emblematical of, Mary Queen of Scots. It is assuredly emblematical and astronomical, and symbolical of the celestial mer-maid, or "mistress of the sea," Mary the attributes agreeing with those claimed by the terrestrial Queen of Scoti, AR 281. There is the spiked N 55-54 A northern crown, AR 281,2 and there is gemma of ther 30 A crown with Mary when exalted at R111.3 Spica, or 3 q 21 lit a Elizabeth, has by law no celestial claim to the spiked crown, or any other crown.

"When the weather was strong the mer-maid began her song, the sweetness of which lulled the sailors to sleep, and they perished." 6 The two sailors are the Gemini in Argo, who fall asleep at sunrise. Andromeda has the two fishes (Pisces) in her hands. The stars of Pisces, on April Fool's Day, rush madly down to R 281,7 to hear the sea-maid's music, and with her is Cupid, Antinous, all armed with his bow and arrows. Sagitta is aimed at the occidental star, Elizabeth, at R 106,9 and the fire shaft is quenched in the chaste beams of the watery

MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS.

Ellis's Fabyan, p. 696

2 N 65 10°

"This year, 1516, Margaret, Queen of Scots, sister of King Henry VIII., fled to England, and lay at Harbottell, and was delivered of a daughter called Margaret." Ellis, in the Index, says, "Mary, Q. of Scots, birth of, p. 696." Ellis, therefore, makes this Margaret (granddaughter of Henry the Seventh) Mary, Queen of Scots, the mother of James the First of England. Margaret means "a pearl," and "y" (gamma) Cassiopeia fled to AR 101.2 Harbottle means "the house of the army" (of the Gods), and there Cassiopeia has a child, Mary Andromeda.3 Grafton informs us that Margaret, the 3 N 55 A daughter of Henry the Seventh, her first husband James the Fourth being dead,* in 1515 married Douglas, Earl of Angus and had a child, at Harbottle, called Margaret.4 As Grafton tells us 5 that James the Fourth was slain at Bramstone (Flodden), 9th September, 1513, this Harbottle child, born in 1516, could not be the offspring of the Scotch King. It appears that the Harbottle child was the first child Henry the Seventh's daughter Margaret ever had, so the parentage of James the Fifth is questionable. The English State Papers (Brewer's) inform us that

No. 3139-22 April, 1512-"James the Fourth to John,
King of Denmark, announces the birth of his son,
born on Easter Eve, who was baptized on Easter
Sunday."-(P. 347.)

No. 3140.-"James Fourth to the Queen of Denmark,
announcing the birth of his son, and his baptism on

James the Fourth had "the pen of a ready writer," or
he would have been satisfied with forwarding one letter
announcing the event to the royal pair of Denmark.

James the Fifth, but in the year 1512, when the above letters were supposed to have been written, there is an entry of James the Fourth requesting "a pass for Thos. Ramsey, with a ship of 100 tons, to trade into England." The first appearance of James the Fifth in the Scotch State Records is

No. 45, vol. i. p. 6.-"Safe conduct for his mother, Queen Margaret, to come into Scotland, Ap. 6, 1517."

When this safe conduct was granted for James' mother, her child, according to James the Fourth's letters to the King and Queen of Denmark, must have been five years old. But it has been fully explained in what manner these documentary historical events have been arranged. chronologically. Grafton, if he does not satisfy us as to when and where James was born, tells us "James the Fifth, the King of Scots, died in a frensie, &c. &c., but howsoever it was, true it is, as aforesaid, he died, and the Queen his wife was delivered of a daughter, on our Lady, even before Christmas, called Mary."1* The 8th December is R 255-6, Hiram, and 1542 is ÆR 267, and that is Bull eyne at R 281,2 the mother of Elizabeth.+

"Mary, Queen of Scots, became of age at twelve, her minority then terminating. Andromeda of Pisces is of age at the twelfth sign Adar, and at Par Isis (Paris), AR 281,3 she married the boy Antinous, the Dauphin,+ who, like Edward the Prince de Galle, or Prince Gallus, died when a mere youth. Mary's next husband was Hiram, under the name of Darnley or Darnel,§ meaning "a cockle" or "corn rose," which name he probably obtained from residing so much with Spica, at R 256,5 Any marriage of Mary and Hiram of Tyre at R 256 could

She herself states that she was born December 8, 1542."AGNES STRICKLAND'S Lives of Queens of Scotland, vol. iii. p. 6. + Grafton says Mary was born the 34th year of Henry the Eighth, which is A.D. 1543.

not be allowed, inasmuch as the Statute of Bigamy was passed in 1276, which is AR 256.2 So it was young Hiram that married Mary,3 and Lingard, the historian, has it that the marriage took place on the 9th July, but the 9th July from the centre of the semi-ecliptic is ÆR 106, and there is Elizabeth at AR 106. Perhaps the dies non were closed, and Mary and Elizabeth "were at one" 5 5 See p. 90 and the same point. Be that as it may, Mary is certainly at R 111,6 and there is young Hiram,7 and they 111 a were married at Holyrood, which is at 111. The year, Lingard says, was 1565, and that is AR 290, say 291, Old New Year's Day. Rapin's portrait of Darnley pictures him not much older than Hiram ab Eph, or Atys. Indeed some writers have apparently confused Hiram Darnley, with Antinous the Dauphin, Mary's first husband.

Riccio, or Rizzio, history informs us was the paramour of Mary Scotia, but several orthodox historians do not mention him. The common version is that he, David 99 350 Rizzio, was sitting at supper, with his cap on his head, when he was assassinated by Hiram Darnel, or Darnley. David Castor is always sitting, and sometimes wears a jockey cap, instead of a hat or castor. As one of the companions of the Arch, at Canta burgh or Canterbury, he is entitled to a peculiar conical-shaped cap, somewhat similar to that worn by the boy bishop, Antinous, on the 1st of April, at R 281,10 from whom it was originally taken and translated to Canterbury and York, at Æ 106III. They took David" out of the window to the king's chamber, where they slew him. The window is at AR 111, and they took him to the chamber of the royal c 13 a standard,13 and from thence they sent him down below. "Riccio's murder, and the alleged implication of John Knox in that dark deed, are illustrated most profusely in the State Records." It was Nox, or night, sunset, when Apollo, the sun-king, was slain, and with the zodiac of eleven signs, John Nox was present at R 106.144 V 7 0 Holinshed mentions that Mary's husband was buried not far from Davie Richio, her secretary, slain, as was thought, by the means of the King of Scots.15 Hiram,

Darnley, would be buried a very short distance from Davie. William Camden, Clarenceux King at Arms,2 says, "The murderers broke into the Queen's privy chamber ( 106),3 at supper time (sunset), whilst she sat at board with the Countess of Argile." Argil is "white earth, like chalk."4 Spica Azamech is brilliantly white. They "set upon the man with drawn swords, as he was feeding at the cup board, on meat taken from the Queen's table (as the waiters of the privy chamber used to do); 5 and all this before the Queen, being great with child, and trembling for fear, setting a pistol against his breast, insomuch as she hardly escaped miscarrying of the child she went with." The pistol here is said to be set against his breast. "Then they haled him forth into a little chamber or lobby * hard by, and most cruelly murdered him, shutting the Queen into her privy chamber."6

According to Oldmixon, David Rizzio was an Italian fiddler. Nero, it is said, played the fiddle whilst Rome was burning at R 286.† During the scuffle with Rizzio, Oldmixon says "Mary had a charged pistol set to her belly, being then five months gone with child." 9 The pistol was of long range, somewhat like Queen Anne's pocket pistol at Dover, AR 111.10 Hume tells us that Mary was supping with her natural sister and Rizzio, when Rizzio was murdered by means of a dagger. Supper time, sundown, when the music master, Apollo, the sun, must be got rid of somehow or other, and as Mary is at R 111," so her natural sister, Elizabeth, would be with Davy Rizzio, at ÆR 106.12 The zodiac of eleven signs kills the music master with the dagger, at AR 106.13 The drawing of the mermaid queen gives the hare lepus, surrounded with 17 daggers. Lepus ends at FR 89°, and 89 plus 17 is AR 106, the music master.

Darnley, according to Holinshed, was murdered, cast into an orchard, and the house blown up, and Bothwell and Mary were suspected. Bothwell, or Both wall, Beth well (colures), AR 286 and 106.

"These distastures fell betwixt England and France, and so at the same time the affairs of Scotland were carried with so violent a motion (evidently referring to the rapid equinoxial proceedings) so as not only outrages were committed upon the best subjects, but even upon the virtuous King and Queen themselves, him they shamefully murdered in a most barbarous manner, and her they took prisoner, and forced her to resign government, and lastly to flee into foreign parts for succour."3 Stow's version is "The 10th P. 1149, Edition Feb., 1567, in the morning, H. Stewart, Lord of Darnley, 1632 before-named King of Scots, by Scots in Scotland, was shamefully murdered, the revenge thereof remaineth in the mighty hand of God."4 This 10th February is, of P. 660 course, reckoned according to the Old Style, and 1567 is 292, Jacobus, and say 1st January also Old Style. Camden says Rothesay Darnley "was strangled in his bed, in the dead time of night, and thrown forth into an orchard, the house being blown up with gunpowder." 55 P. 88 The dead time of night is midnight, or the winter solstice, at R 281. There, according to Oldmixon, the King was "strangled with a napkin," and there, at the winter solstice, ÆR 281, is the napkin." "As soon as he was dead, the body was carried into a garden belonging
