Daily Dose

From The Rise of the Dutch Republic, by John Lothrop Motley

A NOTE FROM DON JOHN

"Men who had gone to bed in a high state of indignation were not likely to wake in much better humour, when suddenly roused from their first nap, to listen to such a message as this. It seemed only one piece of trifling the more."

From Part V, Don John of Austria, 1576 - 1578, Chapter I
