13888	Church, R. W. (Richard William)	Bacon			.txt	text/plain	71499	2503	64	But immediately on Salisbury's death he began, May 29th, a letter in which he said that he had never yet been able to show his affection to the King, having been as a hawk tied to another's fist; and if, as was said to one that spake great words, _Amice, verba tua desiderant civitatem_, your Majesty say to me, _Bacon, your words require a place to speak them_, yet that place or not place was with the King. While Bacon, in the shade, had been laying the foundations of his philosophy of nature, and vainly suing for legal or political employment, another man had been steadily rising in the Queen's favour and carrying all before him at Court--Robert Devereux, Lord Essex; and with Essex Bacon had formed an acquaintance which had ripened into an intimate and affectionate friendship.	cache/13888.txt	txt/13888.txt
