My mortal foe can no ways wish me a greater harm than England's hate; neither should death be less welcome unto me than such a mishap betide me.

There is nothing about which I am more anxious than my country, and for its sake I am willing to die ten deaths, if that be possible.

Though after my death you may have many stepdames, yet shall you never have a more natural mother unto you all.

I have already joined myself in marriage to a husband, namely the kingdom of England.

There is no jewel, be it of never so rich a price, which I set before this jewel; I mean your love.

Though God hath raised me high, yet this I account the glory of my reign, that I have reigned with your loves.
