Young Heads Take Example Of The Ancient

We Princes Are Set As It Were Upon Stages, In The Sight And View Of All The World. The Least Spot Is Soon Spied In Our Garments, A Blemish Quickly Noticed In Our Doings.

Had I Been Crested, Not Cloven, My Lords, You Had Not Treated Me Thus.

Do Not Tell Secrets To Those Whose Faith And Silence You Have Not Already Tested.

I Do Not So Much Rejoice That God Hath Made Me To Be A Queen, As To Be A Queen Over So Thankful A People. Therefore I Have Cause To Wish Nothing More Than To Content The Subject And That Is A Duty Which I Owe. Neither Do I Desire To Live Longer Days Than I May See Your Prosperity And That Is My Only Desire.

I Do Not Choose That My Grave Should Be Dug While I Am Still Alive.
