The hired Scotch guards had orders to shoot any onewho approached unannounced, and there was as much parley over the openingof a gate, as if all the armies of France were gathering to storm the stronghold. Within; like an evil spirit, the trembling dotard wandered from room toroom of the endless suites, never sleeping in the same place twice in attendants were forbidden to mention death, and he wore round his caplittle leaden images of his favorite saints, to whom, not to his God, he prayedday after day, hypocritical, treacherous, blasphemous prayers to be spared thehorror he dared not name.

He mourned only for the good he could no longerdo his country, and his last counsel to his young successor was to keep the landat peace. I. Francis I. Knighted by Bayard
