Sayfa 300 - Since once I sat upon a promontory, And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath, That the rude sea grew civil at her song, And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, To hear the sea-maid's music.
Sayfa 318 - Elizabeth by the Grace of God Queen of England France and Ireland Defender of the Faith &c.
Sayfa 471 - At a fair vestal, throned by the west ; And loos'd his love-shaft smartly from his bow, As it should pierce a hundred thousand hearts...
Sayfa 300 - The doubt of future foes exiles my present joy, And wit me warns to shun such snares as threaten mine annoy. For falsehood now doth flow, and subjects' faith doth ebb ; Which would not be if Reason ruled, or Wisdom weaved the web.

God's will be fulfilled, and aid her majesty to do herself good.
Sayfa 97 - Christ was the word that spake it; He took the bread and brake it ; And what the word did make it, That I believe and take it.
Sayfa 130 - State ; and that, without respect to my private will, you will give me that counsel which you think best, and if you shall know anything necessary to be declared to me of secrecy, you shall show it to myself only, and assure yourself I will not fail to keep taciturnity therein, and therefore herewith I charge you.
Sayfa 255 - Are my words like lawyer's books, which now-a-days go to the wire-drawers, to make subtle doings more plain? Is there no hold of my speech without an act to compel me to confirm?
Sayfa 314 - If you do not immediately comply with my request, I will unfrock you, by God.
