have a lion’s heart.”
5. To be a King and wear a crown is a thing more pleasant to them that
see it, than it is pleasant to them that bear it.
I were content to hear matters argued and debated pro and contra as
all princes must that will understand what is right, yet I look ever
as it were upon a plain tablet wherein is written neither partility
or prejudice.
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.
I have ever used to set the last Judgment Day before mine eyes, and so
to rule as I shall be judged to answer before a higher judge.
You may have many a wiser prince sitting in this seat, but you never
have had, or shall have, any who loves you better.
It is not my desire to live or to reign longer than my life and reign
shall be for your good.
