    In response the Scottish nobles plotted to oust Lennox. They did so by luring James to Ruthven Castle as a guest but then kept him as prisoner for ten months. The Lord Enterprisers forced him to banish Lennox. The duke journeyed back to France and kept a
    secret correspondence with James. Lennox in these letters says he gave up his family "to dedicate myself entirely to you"; he prayed to die for James to prove "the faithfulness which is engraved within my heart, which will last forever." The former duke
    wrote "Whatever might happen to me, I shall always be your faithful servant... you are alone in this world whom my heart is resolved to serve. And would to God that my breast might be split open so that it might be seen what is engraven therein."

    James was devastated by the loss of Lennox. With his return to France, Lennox had met a frosty reception as an apostate. The Scottish nobles had believed they that would be proven right in their convictions that Lennox's conversion was artificial when he
    returned to France. Instead the former duke remained Presbyterian and died shortly after, leaving James his embalmed heart. James had repeatedly vouched for Lennox's religious sincerity and memorialized him in a poem called "Ane Tragedie of the *PHOENIX*"
    , which said he was like an exotic bird of unique beauty killed by envy.>> ----------------------­------------------------------­--

    Chester prefaced his poem with a short dedication addressed to the Phoenix and Turtledove. The Phoenix is envisaged as female and the dove as male:

    Chester's main poem is a long allegory in which the relationship between the birds is explored, and its symbolism articulated. It incorporates the story of King Arthur, and a history of ancient Britain, emphasizing Welsh etymologies for British towns. It
    culminates with the joint immolation of the Phoenix and Turtledove, giving birth to a new and more beautiful bird from the ashes.

    It is followed by a brief collection of "Diverse Poeticall Essaies"
    by the "best and chiefest of our moderne writers, with their names
    sub-scribed to their particular workes". These include, in addition
    to Shakespeare, *BEN JONSON*, George Chapman, John Marston and the
    anonymous "Vatum Chorus" and "Ignoto". All use the same imagery: .......................

    There was something truly cheering in this triumph of warmth and

    title as heir apparent to the Earldom of Lennox, and it is by this appellation that he is now generally known. He was the second but eldest surviving son of Matthew Stewart, 4th Earl of Lennox. He was a first cousin and the 2nd husband of Mary, Queen of

    [MARI.H(e.)] 17 : Prob. ~ 1 in 10,000 --------------------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebe_(mythology)

    <<{HEBE} (Ἥβη: inherited word for "youth") is the goddess of youth or the prime of life. She is the daughter of Zeus and Hera. Hebe was the cupbearer for the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus, serving their nectar and ambrosia until she married
    Heracles; her successor was the divine hero Ganymede. Hebe was worshipped as the goddess of forgiveness or mercy at Sicyon.

    Hebe had influence over eternal youth and the ability to restore youth to mortals, a power that appears exclusive to her, as in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Her role of ensuring the eternal youth of the other gods is appropriate with her role of serving as
    cupbearer, as the word ambrosia has been linked to immortality, undying, and lifeforce. In art, she is typically seen with her father in the guise of an eagle. Eagles were connected with immortality and there was a folklore belief that the eagle (like
    the phoenix) had the ability to renew itself to a youthful state.

    Pindar refers to Hebe as the most beautiful of the goddesses. Servius said that Zeus gifted her two doves with human voices, and one flew to where the Oracle of Dodona would be established. Hebe was often connected to Aphrodite, whom she was described
    dancing with and acting as her herald or attendant. In Euripedes' play Orestes, Helen is said to sit on a throne beside Hera and Hebe upon obtaining immortality.

    Cicero seems to imply that either Hebe or Ganymede could serve in the role of cupbearer at the heavenly feast. The reasoning for Hebe's dismissal was transformed into a moralizing story in the 1500s by the Church of England, where it was stated in a note
    in an English-Latin dictionary that Hebe fell while in attendance to the gods, causing her dress to become undone, exposing her naked body publicly. Although there is no Classical literary or artistic source for this account, the story was modified to
    function as a warning to women to stay modestly covered at all times, as naked women in particular were seen as shameful by the Church. During this period, Hebe was strongly associated with spring, so this addition of Hebe falling to the myth was also
    allegorized to represent the change of season from spring to autumn.>> ------------------------------------------------------------
    <<Aubrey says of Lady [MARY S]idney: "She was VERy salacious,
    and she had a Contrivance that in the Spring of the yeare,
    when the *STALLIONS* were to leape the Mares, they were to
    be brought before such a part of the house, where she had
