Receiving no news from Essex, because his letters have been purloined, she orders him back to England. He marches on Whitehall meaning to take the throne. Elizabeth meets him, all is forgiven, and the old love restored, until he tells her that he must share the throne with her, when, without further warning, she consigns him to the Tower,
