Of myself I must say this, I never was any greedy, scraping grasper, nor a strait fast-holding prince, nor yet a master; my heart was never set on worldly goods, but only for my subjects' good.

All my possessions for a moment of time.

Though I am not imperial, and though Elizabeth may not deserve it, the Queen of England will easily deserve to have an emperor's son to marry.

Must! Is must a word to be addressed to princes? Little man, little man! Thy father, if he had been alive, durst not have used that word.

If thy heart fails thee, climb not at all.

A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past.

Ye may have a greater prince, but ye shall never have a more loving prince.
