In the last days of his existence Louis XIV was abandoned by
all his family and courtiers, and died in the presence only of
priests, physicians, and attendants. He had attained the age of
seventy-seven years, during seventy-two of which he had sat
upon the throne, the longest reign on record. He died with
constancy and resignation, and the last days of his life show
him to more advantage as a man than the season of his greatest
glory and prosperity. It had been well for his people had the
aged monarch been impressed at an earlier period of his reign
with those words of counsel which he addressed on his deathbed
to the youthful Dauphin. “My child”, said he, “you will soon be
the sovereign of a great kingdom. Do not forget your
obligations to God; remember that it is to Him you owe all that
you are. Endeavour to live at peace with your neighbors; do not
imitate me in my fondness for war, nor in the exorbitant
expenditure which I have incurred. Take counsel in all your
actions. Endeavour to relieve the people at the earliest
possible moment, and thus to accomplish what, unfortunately, I
am unable to do myself”.
These words, which were afterwards inscribed on the bed of
Louis XV by order of Marshal Villeroi, are, in fact, a
condemnation by Louis himself of his whole reign. In that
retrospect of conscience, he denounces his constant wars, his
profligate expenditure, his uncontrollable self-will, and
regrets that no time was left him to repair the misfortunes
which they had produced. This condemnatory review was confirmed
by the French people. The day of his funeral was a day of
rejoicing and holiday; the procession was greeted with laughter
and songs by the carousing populace, who added another article
of reproach, over which the royal conscience had slumbered.
Some proposed to use the funeral torches to set fire to the
houses of the Jesuits; but Louis had expired without giving the
slightest indication that the course which he had pursued in
religious matters gave him any compunction. In spite, however,
of his defects, Louis XIV must be allowed in many respects to
have possessed the qualities of a great sovereign. He was
generous and munificent; in grace, affability, and dignity of
manner, in all that goes to constitute the outward semblance
and bearing of a king, he was unrivalled; and all his projects,
however unjust and impolitic, were marked by grandeur of
conception, and ability and perseverance in their execution.
And now that the misery inflicted by his reign has been
forgotten, and only the French, its glory and conquests are
remembered, it is probable that the image of Louis XIV will
continue to occupy a conspicuous niche in the national Pantheon
of the French, a nation ever ready to pardon the faults of
those who have extended their boundaries, upheld their military
reputation, and promoted the fame of their literature and
art...
