[On Thomas Seymour's death:] This day died a man of much wit and very little judgment.
Had I been crested, not cloven, my Lords, you had not treated me thus.
All my possessions for a moment of time.
My seat has been the seat of kings, and I will have no rascal to succeed me.
One man with a head on his shoulders is worth a dozen without.
I would gladly chastise those who represent things as different from what they are. Those who steal property or make counterfeit money are punished, and those ought to be still more severely dealt with who steal away or falsify the good name of a prince.
