Les écrivains contemporains, saxons et normands, revendiquent, à l'envi, chacun pour son royal patron, les volontés suprêmes d'Édouard, et son testament a été le sujet de controverses qui ont peu éclairci la question. Nous tenons pour impossible de savoir avec certitude auquel des deux rivaux le roi mourant donna le droit de se dire son successeur légitime; mais il semble probable qu'il dut choisir le jeune saxon, auquel il témoignait tant d'amitié. et que le vœu de la nation appelait au trône, plutôt que ce Guillaume dont il avait appris à craindre l'esprit astucieux. -GUIZOT.

UNPRESCRIBED PASSAGE.

Translate into English :

Albine.

Quoi? tandis que Néron s'abandonne au sommeil,
Faut-il que vous veniez attendre son réveil ?
Qu'errant dans le palais, sans suite et sans escorte,
La mère de César veille seule à sa porte?
Madame, retournez dans votre appartement.

Agrippine.

Albine, il ne faut pas s'éloigner un moment.
Je veux l'attendre ici. Les chagrins qu'il me cause
M'occuperont assez tout le temps qu'il repose.
Tout ce que j'ai prédit n'est que trop assuré :
Contre Britannicus Néron s'est déclaré;
L'impatient Néron cesse de se contraindre;
Las de se faire aimer, il veut se faire craindre.
Britannicus le gêne, Albine; et chaque jour
Je sens que je deviens importune à mon tour.

RACINE.
