”We came to Paris, on the Seyn, 'Tis wondrous faire but nothing clean, 'Tis Europes greatest Town.
How strong it is, I need not tell it, For any man may easily smell it, That walkes it up and down.”

[Footnote 36: The English Catholics were anxious lest she should allow herself to be crowned by a heretic: Fr. Leander de S. Martino, an English Benedictine, wrote a long letter to Berulle on the subject in June, 1625, expressing his anxiety. Archives Nationales, M. 232.]
[Footnote 37: As, for instance, Sir Lewis Lewknor, an official charged with the reception of amba.s.sadors: he received 2000 per annum from Richelieu, and he was particularly useful to the French, whom he did not openly favour, because, being a Catholic, he received the confidences of the Spaniards and the Flemings.]

[Footnote 45: Arch. Nat., M. 232, from which the account in the text is taken: perhaps an account written by Charles or Buckingham would have been somewhat different: it is printed in an article ent.i.tled ”L'Amba.s.sade de M.

23.]
