Though I Am Not Imperial, And Though

There Is A Close Tie Of Affection Between Sovereigns And Their Subjects; And As Chaste Wives Should Have No Eyes But For Their Husbands, So Faithful Liegemen Should Keep Their Regards At Home And Not Look After Foreign Crowns. For My Part I Like Not For My Sheep To Wear A Stranger's Mark Nor To Dance After A Foreigner's Whistle.

All My Possessions For A Moment Of Time.

[to Parliament, When It Urged Her To Marry And Settle The Succession:] You Attend To Your Own Duties And I'll Perform Mine.

If I Should Say The Sweetest Speech With The Eloquentest Tongue That Ever Was In Man, I Were Not Able To Express That Restless Care Which I Have Ever Bent To Govern For The Greatest Wealth.

Be Always Faithful To Me, As I Always Desire To Keep You In Peace; And If There Have Been Wiser Kings, None Has Ever Loved You More Than I Have.
