Ye May Have A Greater Prince, But

Although My Royal Rank Causes Me To Doubt Whether My Kingdom Is Not More Sought After Than Myself, Yet I Understand That You Havefound Other Graces In Me.

The End Crowneth The Work.

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.

If I Should Say The Sweetest Speech With The Eloquentest Tongue That Ever Was In Man, I Were Not Able To Express That Restless Care Which I Have Ever Bent To Govern For The Greatest Wealth.

A Strength To Harm Is Perilous In The Hand Of An Ambitious Head.
