A Boy Is Holding A Girl So

I Am Very Sorry To Know And Hear How Unreverently That Most Precious Jewel, The Word Of God, Is Disputed, Rhymed, Sung And Jangled In Every Ale-house And Tavern, Contrary To The True Meaning And Doctrine Of The Same.

I Have Found It Impossible To Carry The Heavy Burden Of Responsibility.

You All Know The Reasons Which Have Impelled Me To Renounce The Throne. But I Want You To Understand That In Making Up My Mind I Did Not Forget The Country Or The Empire, Which, As Prince Of Wales And Lately As King, I Have For Twenty-five Years Tried To Serve.

Perhaps One Of The Only Positive Pieces Of Advice That I Was Ever Given Was That Supplied By An Old Courtier Who Observed: Only Two Rules Really Count. Never Miss An Opportunity To Relieve Yourself; Never Miss A Chance To Sit Down And Rest Your Feet.

Of Course, I Do Have A Slight Advantage Over The Rest Of You. It Helps In A Pinch To Be Able To Remind Your Bride That You Gave Up A Throne For Her.
