Countess of Nottingham to the Danish Ambassador.

SIR,

I Am very sorry this occasion should have been offered me by the King your Master, which makes me troublesom to you for the present. It is reported to me by men of honour, the great wrong the King of the Danes hath done me, when I was not by to answer for my self: For if I had been present, I would have letten him know how much I scorn to receive that wrong at his hands. I need not to urge the particular of it, for the King himself knows it best. I protest to you Sir, I did think as honorably of the King your Master, as I did of my own Prince; but now I perswade my self there is as much baseness in him as can be in any man: For although he be a Prince by birth, it seems not to me that there harbours any Princely thought in his breast; for either in Prince or Subject, it is the basest that can be to wrong any woman of honour: I deserve as little that name he gave me, as either the mother of himself or of his children; and if ever I come to know what man hath informed your Master so wrongfully of me, I should do my best for putting him from doing the like to any other: but if it hath come by the tongue of any woman, I dare say she would be glad to have companions. So leaving to trouble you any further, I rest,

Your friend M. NOTTINGHAM.
