Famous quotes containing the words elizabeth i:
“When I was fair and young, and favor graced me,
Of many was I sought, their mistress for to be;

Importune me no more!””

Shall reap no gain where former rule hath taught still peace to
grow.
No foreign banished wight shall anchor in this port;
Our realm it brooks no stranger’s force, let them elsewhere resort.”
