A Popular History of France From The Earliest Times

CHAPTER XLVIII
52/143

I have a straight leg and a well-shaped foot; my hair is light, and of a beautiful auburn; my face is long, its contour is handsome, nose large and aquiline; mouth neither large nor small, but chiselled, and with a very pleasing expression; lips vermilion; teeth not fine, but not frightful either.

My eyes are blue, neither large nor small, but sparkling, soft, and proud, like my mien.

I talk a great deal, without saying silly things or using bad words.

I am a very vicious enemy, being very choleric and passionate, and that, added to my birth, may well make my enemies tremble; but I have also a noble and a kindly soul.

I am incapable of any base and black deed; and so I am more disposed to mercy than to justice.
