My care is like my shadow in the sun, Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it, Stands and lies by me, doth what I have done.
Elizabeth I

Elizabeth I
Although I may not be a lioness, I am a lion's cub, and inherit many of his qualities and as long as the King of France treats me gently he will find me as gentle and tractable as he can desire but if he be rough, I shall take the trouble to be just as troublesome and offensive to him as I can.
