."I have a long journey to take & must bid the company farewell." Sir Walter Raleigh, 66, just before he was executed in the courtyard of the Old Palace at Westminster, 29th of October, 1618. "Tis a sharp remedy," he said to the masked man, touching lightly the blade of his axe,"but a sure one for all ills."
