  2. I could not find a free version online. If this is for school and you have a little time you can buy it. I have listed a link for several sellers. Good luck

  3. found nothing but check your local library

  4. I couldn't find the exact phrase "bitter sweet within my heart"; however, I did come up with an autobiographical poem entitled, "Ode to Francis", which the 17- or 18-year-old Mary Stuart wrote upon the death of her young husband, the French king, Francis II:

    In my sad, quiet song,

    A melancholy air,

    I shall look long and deep

    At loss beyond compare,

    and with bitter tears,

    I'll pass my best years.

    Have the harsh fates ere now

    Let such a grief be felt,

    Has a more cruel blow

    Been by Dame Fortune dealt

    Than, O my heart and my eyes!

    I see his bier lies?

    In the springtime's gladness

    And flower of my young heart,

    I feel the deepest sadness

    Of the most grievous hurt.

    Nothing now my heart can fire

    But regret and desire.

    He who was my dearest

    Already is my plight.

    The day than shone the clearest

    For me is darkest night.

    There is nothing now so fine

    That I need to make it mine.

    Deep in my eyes and heart

    A portrait has its place

    Which shows the world my hurt

    In the pallor of my face,

    Pale as the violets fade,

    True love's becoming a shade

    In my unwonted pain

    I can be no more be still,

    Rising time and again

    To drive away my ill.

    All things good and bad

    Have lost the taste they had.

    And thus I always stay

    Whether in wood or meadow,

    Whether at dawn of day

    Or at the evening shadow.

    My heart feels ceaselessly

    Grief for his loss for me.

    Sometimes in such a place

    His image comes to me.

    The sweet smile of his face

    Up in a cloud I see.

    Then sudden in the mere

    I see his funeral bier.

    When I lie quietly

    Sleeping upon my couch.

    I hear him speak to me

    And I can feel his touch.

    In my duties each day

    He is near me always.

    Nothing seems fine to me

    Unless he is therein.

    My heart will not agree

    Unless he is within

    I lack all perfection

    In my cruel dejection.

    I shall cease my song now,

    My sad lament shall end

    Whose burnden aye shall show

    True love can not pretend

    And though we are apart

    Grows no less in my heart.

    Good luck on your school project!
