A Fool Too Late Bewares

There Is An Italian Proverb Which Saith, From My Enemy Let Me Defend Myself; But From A Pretensed Friend Lord Deliver Me

As For My Own Part I Care Not For Death, For All Men Are Mortal; And Though I Be A Woman Yet I Have As Good A Courage Answerable To My Place As Ever My Father Had. I Am Your Anointed Queen. I Will Never Be By Violence Constrained To Do Anything. I Thank God I Am Indeed Endowed With Such Qualities That If I Were Turned Out Of The Realm In My Petticoat I Were Able To Live In Any Place In Christendom.

Life Is For Living And Working At. If You Find Anything Or Anybody A Bore, The Fault Is In Yourself.

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.

[on Thomas Seymour's Death:] This Day Died A Man Of Much Wit And Very Little Judgment.
