I will have here but one mistress and no master.

There will never Queen sit in my seat with more zeal to my country, care to my subjects and that will sooner with willingness venture her life for your good and safety than myself. For it is my desire to live nor reign no longer than my life and reign shall be for your good. And though you have had, and may have, many princes more mighty and wise sitting in this seat, yet you never had nor shall have, any that will be more careful and loving.

I am no lover of pompous title, but only desire that my name may be recorded in a line or two, which shall briefly express my name, my virginity, the years of my reign, the reformation of religion under it, and my preservation of peace.

Mr. Doctor, that loose gown becomes you so well I wonder your notions should be so narrow.

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

Fear not, we are of the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of mice and such small beasts.

If I follow the inclination of my nature, it is this: beggar-woman and single, far rather than queen and married.
