[40] Several translations of this song have been atteinal

Adieu, thou pleasant land of France!

The dearest of all lands to me, Where life was like a joyful dance-- The joyful dance of infancy

Farewellwiles, Farewell the joys of youth's bright day; The bark that bears me from thy smiles, Bears but eless heart Is given, beloved France! to thee; And let it soh of me

Mary was not the only one who commemorated in verse her departure from France Numerous _Vaudevilles_ ritten upon the occasion, several of which are preserved in the _Anthologie Francaise_

181, it is said, ”The Queen landed at Leith, and then departed for L'Islebourg,” (the nah), ”a celebrated Abbey a mile or two distant In this Abbey Mary remained for three weeks, and in the h” This departure for Edinburgh alludes to the visit which Mary paid, a short time after her arrival, to the Castle

[42] The day that his present Majesty George IV arrived at Leith, in August 1822 (whose landing and progress to Holyroodhouse, though much more brilliant, resembled in some respects that of his ancestor Mary), was as wet and unfavourable as the weather so piously described by Knox Was this a ”forewarning” also of the ”coht into the country? If Knox believed in _warnings_, there is no telling to what conclusions these warnings ht have led

[48] Knox's History of the Refor, that Knox is the only person who gives us any detailed account of these interviews, and he, of course, represents theht for himself as possible ”The report,” says Randolph, ”that Knox hath talked with the Queen, maketh the Papists doubt ill become of the world”--”I have been the more minute in the narrative of this curious conference,” says M'Crie, ”because it affords the e that Knox treated Mary with rudeness and disrespect” Different people have surely differentrudeness and respect
