Charles IX, King of France "I am lost: I see it well" This wicked young king died May 30, 1574. His character was a compound of passion, acuteness, heartlessness and cunning. The infamous massacre of St. Bartholomew, August 24, 1572, was the culmination of a series of treacheries toward the Huguenots which greatly disgraced his reign. While he was yet a young man, death reached forth its awful hand. Its clutch tore away kingly robes, and as the crown which had given him such great authority over the lives of men fell from his brow, he slipped into the dark night of eternity, a naked soul. No doubt, for the sake of a watching world, the Spirit of God opened his eyes to show him what awaited beyond that dark veil. History has recorded the remorse and cry of anquish that followed. During his last hours he cried to his nurse, "Oh, my nurse, my nurse! What blood, what murders, what evil counsels have I followed!" Then a futile prayer - "Oh, my God, pardon me and have mercy on me if Thou canst. I know what I am - What shall I do? I am lost; I see it well!" -Dying testimonies by S.B. Shaw
