Note 237 — Chapter X
William L. R. (William Leist Readwin) Cates translation
The State Papers, v. p. 125, contain a letter from him to Lord Cromwell, on a political subject, and suggesting that Henry VIII. should give his nephew a young lion, in token of his friendship. ‘He saw one zoung lyoun in Flandris.’ The King of Scotland wished for it, and Scott thought that his wish should be gratified.
