To the troops: To Parliament:
Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved
myself, that, under God, I have placed my
chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal
hearts and good will of my subjects, and
therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at
this time, not for my recreation and disport, but
being resolved in the midst and heat of the battle,
to live or die among you all, to lay down for my
God, and for my kingdoms, and for my people,
my honour, and my blood, even in the dust.
-Address to the troops at Tilbury,
Queen Elizabeth I
