and may refer to her marriage with William Seymour, grandson
of the Earl of Hertford. The sentiments expressed in the
inscriptions would apply to the unhappy separation from her
husband, as well as to the sorrow and to the ill-treatment which
she underwent during her imprisonment in the Tower, and
from the effects of which she died in 1615.

Executed by Dassier; the portrait is copied from the
Chandos picture, now in the National Portrait Gallery. The
reverse is intended to characterize the genius and structure of
the poet’s works, coinciding with Johnson’s opinion, “ the composition
of Shakespeare is a forest in which oaks extend their
branches, and pines tower in the air, interspersed sometimes
with weeds and brambles, and sometimes giving shelter to
myrtles and roses, filling the eye with awful pomp and gratifying
the mind ivith endless variety.”
