Queen Elizabeth I at old age

nobody@ipernity.com (Götz Kluge) — Wed, 01 Jan 2014 15:31:21 +0000

Allegorical English School painting (ca. 1610, redrawn in 2013) of Queen Elizabeth I at Old Age with allegory of Death and Father Time.
(Location of original painting: Corsham Court, EAN-Number: 4050356835081)
www.corsham-court.co.uk/Pictures/Commentary.html: "This portrait of Elizabeth I illustrates the difficulties she encountered during her troubled reign. For example, conflict between Protestants and Catholics was rife and the re-drafting of the Book of Common Prayer (held in her left hand) was a sensitive issue of the time."

Henry Holiday's depiction of the Bellman in fhe front cover illustration to Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark and Father Time from an allegorical English School painting (ca. 1610) depicting Queen Elizabeth I at Old Age.

That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold;
What hath quench'd them hath given me fire.
Hark! Peace!
It was the owl that shriek'd, the fatal bellman,
Which gives the stern'st good-night. He is about it:
The doors are open; and the surfeited grooms
Do mock their charge with snores: I have drugg'd
their possets,
That death and nature do contend about them,
Whether they live or die.

For collecting time you don't need a subscription. And time doesn't take bribes.

381 · · “As to temper the Jubjub’s a desperate bird,
382 · · · · Since it lives in perpetual passion:
383 · · Its taste in costume is entirely absurd—
384 · · · · It is ages ahead of the fashion:

385 · · “But it knows any friend it has met once before:
386 · · · · It never will look at a bribe:
387 · · And in charity-meetings it stands at the door,
388 · · · · And collects—though it does not subscribe.

389 · · “ Its flavour when cooked is more exquisite far
390 · · · · Than mutton, or oysters, or eggs:
391 · · (Some think it keeps best in an ivory jar,
392 · · · · And some, in mahogany kegs:)

393 · · “You boil it in sawdust: you salt it in glue:
394 · · · · You condense it with locusts and tape:
395 · · Still keeping one principal object in view—
396 · · · · To preserve its symmetrical shape.”
