] THE EMBROIDERY OF HISTORY.
75 i the Prince, who "assimilated" it forthwith.
When Louis XVI. Perished on the Bcaffold, saying, "I die innocent; I pardon my enemies; and you, uuhap- py people " a roll of the drums, as we know, drowned his sentence, and the executioners, from whose grasp he had broken, seized him again, while the Abbe Edgeworth cried, " Son of Saint Louis, ascend to heaven ! " This, at least, is the received story, though modern criticism has now set down the Abbe's exclamation ...among the purely fictitious flowers on the parterre of history.
And would not many another fa- mous ejaculation be recognized as false were close scrutiny possible? Did Louis XIV. Make those exemplary remarks from his death-bed to his great grandson and successor, the lit- tle Duke of Anjou? Did he turn to his officers and say, "Why weep you? Had you thought me immortal?" It was long ago noted that the germ of many sayings attributed to modern monarchs by their courtiers or chroniclers may be found in Greek and Latin lore, or else the stories are rechristened bodi- ly.
