The sincere and unaffected sorrow of those who raised a monument to the
Princess, is much more impressively bespoken in the simple and natural
language of its inscription. After recapitulating the pompous honours
of her house, and her greatness as a Queen, they have thus expressed
affectionate esteem for her as a woman and a wife. “Five years she
reigned as Lady of the Low Countries, for four of which she lived in
love and great affection with my Lord, her husband. She died deplored,
lamented and wept by her subjects, and by all who knew her as was never
Princess before. Pray God for her soul. Amen.”
