Description
English: Jane Shore. * I remember seeing, when a young- man, in an old family mansion, near Coventry, let for a kind of Vauxhall, some ancient paintings, amongst them, on hoard, was a portrait in oil of her to the waist, without clothing, or ornament, except jewels in her hair, and a necklace also of jewels. It was quite like that at Eton in the Provost's lodging. There is another in the lodge of the Provost of King's College, Cambridge; to both these Foundations, which were of Lancastrian birth, she is supposed to have exerted her interest in their behalf to King Edward. The Duchess of Montagu had, says Granger, a lock of Jane's hair; it appeared as if it had been powdered with gold dust. Yet beautiful and lovely as was this Venus de Medici, as I may call her, from her small stature, fine face, and just proportion, yet " Her courtly behaviour, facetious conversation, and ready wit, were more attractive than her person." The portrait in Eton College is scraped by John Faber, it is large 4to; it is scarce : a MS. date was upon a copy, 1483. The Rev. Michael Tyson, Fellow of C.C.C.C. has etched that in King's College. It is coarsely done in 4to. There is a far more pleasing priat of Jane, sm, 4to. engraved by F. Bartolozzi, Pv.A,'

Text Appearing Before Image:
and quick of answer, neither mute nor full of babble, sometimes taunting without displeasure, and not without disport: in whom King Edward took special pleasure, whose favour, to say the truth, for sin it were to belie the Devil, she never abused to any mans hurt, butto many a mans comfort and relief: when the King took displeasure, she would mitigate and appease his mind; where men were out of favour, she would bring them in his grace ; for many that highly of-fended she obtained pardon. Of great forfeitures shegat them remittance. And finally, in many weighty suits, she stood many men in great stead; either for none, or veiy small rewards, and those rather gay than rich; either for that she was content with the deed itself, well done ; or that she delighted to besued unto, and to shew what she was able to do withthe King; or for that wanton women and wealthy benot always covetous. This commendation has never been controvened by any one. She still is remem-bered, as the gentle Mrs. Jane Shore.
Text Appearing After Image:
The King would say that he had three concu-bines, which in three divers properties diversely ex-celled. One the merriest, another the wittiest, andthe third the holiest harlot in his realm, as one whom no man could get out of the church lightly (easily),to any place, but (except), it were to his bed. Theother two were somewhat greater personages, andnevertheless of their humility content to be nameless, 52 THE GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATOR. and to forbear the praise of those properties. Butthe merriest was this Shores wife, in whom the King, therefore, took special pleasure. For many he had,but her he loved. Who can wonder at the royal Libertines preference. She was the Nell Gwynne of his Court, but she had this advantage of Mrs. Helen, she was Avell educated. She was as merry, and asvoid of avarice. Such was her temper ; now let us view her person.Sir Thomas More expresses himself thus : There was nothing of her body that you would have changed, unless you would have wished her something higher.
