Excerpt from Afloat and Ashore With Sir Walter Raleigh
Instantly Raleigh stepped forward and threw down before her a richly-embroidered cloak which he wore. It was the first step taken on the dizzy ladder which was to conduct him, through many alternations of court favour, to the scaffold and the headsman's block at last. Elizabeth was charmed alike by the romantic gallantry of the action and by the manly grace and beauty of the young knight errant. She took him into her service on the spot, and ever afterwards regarded him with a degree of favour, which, if it never reached the fever heat of that accorded to Leicester and Essex, was steady, and chequered by but few fluctuations.
