[on Being Told Mary, Queen Of Scots,

Affection! Affection Is False.

There Is Nothing In The World I Hold In Greater Horror Than To See A Body Moving Against Its Head: And I Shall Be Very Careful Notto Ally Myself With Such A Monster.

I Will Never Be By Violence Constrained To Do Anything.

If Thy Heart Fails Thee, Climb Not At All.

There Will Never Queen Sit In My Seat With More Zeal To My Country, Care To My Subjects And That Will Sooner With Willingness Venture Her Life For Your Good And Safety Than Myself. For It Is My Desire To Live Nor Reign No Longer Than My Life And Reign Shall Be For Your Good. And Though You Have Had, And May Have, Many Princes More Mighty And Wise Sitting In This Seat, Yet You Never Had Nor Shall Have, Any That Will Be More Careful And Loving.
