Retssag*). Det er Undersøgelser om Sovekamres
Beliggenhed og Senges Stilling, om en Dronning og
hendes Kammerherre iagttagne i den allerletteste
Paaklædning, som Dag efter Dag fyldte alle Englands
Aviser, indtil - Anklagen toges tilbage, dels paa
Grund af Bevisernes formentlige Utilstrækkelighed,
dels paa Grund af den Højde, hvortil Foragten for
Kongen som Skandalens Ophav var stegen.
I Anledning af denne Retssag skriver Shelley sin
kostelige Satire Oedipus Tyranmis eller Tyrannen med
den svulne Fod o: den podagristiske Tyran, et Forsøg
i den politiske Komedie, mindst saa vellykket som
Prutz’s Den politiske Barselstue. Handlingen foregaar
i Bøotien. Et Folk, der kalder sig selv Bulls (o: John
Bull’er) altsaa Tyre, optræder der som Svin. Engelsk
Aand, Væsen og Magt betegnes derfor som Svineri og
Tonen
falder saaledes:
Og Skatterne,
de sande Kilder til alt Svineri (thi hvilket bedre
Udtryk findes vel for den Religion, Moral og Fred og

*) The trial at large of her Majesty Caroline Amelia
Elisabeth, Queen of Great Britain in the house of
lords on charges of aclulterous intercourse. London
1821. 2 vol. «At Carlsruhe her Majesty was one dav
found in Bergamis room; she was sitting upon his bed,
and he was in bed with his arms around the neck of
her Majesty, She was surprised in this extraordinary
situation by one of the femmes de chambre, who was
going into the room by chance ... In that bed was
found a cloak, which her Majesty was afterwards seen
wearing; and in that bed, also, certain marks wcre
observed by one of the servants. These marks, without
his saying a ny thing farther at present, would lead
their lordships perhaps to infer that which he wished
them to understand (vol. I 145, smlgn. II 487.)
What was the state of Bergami’s dress at the time you
saw him in the passage going towards the bed-room of
her royal highness?
He was not dressed.
When you say he was not dressed, what do you
mean? what had h e on?
He was not dressed at all. (vol. I
484fsmlgn. vol. II 435).
On the 12th of that month she arrived at Salona
... A large bed was provided in the inner room for
her Majesty; the outer room assigned for Bergami had
no bed. There was no access to the bed in the inner
room except through Bergami’s. It would be proved in
evidence, that, in the morning after her Majesty had
slept here, her bed had the appea-rance of having
been slept in by two persons. There was only one
passage to her Majesty’s bed-room; that passage led
from Bergami’s room,. and in his room there was no
bed. (vol. I 136).
