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.
For I assure you (what credit my
assurance may have with you, I cannot
tell, but what credit it shall deserve to
have, the sequel shall declare) I will
never in that matter conclude any thing
that shall be prejudicial to the realm. For
the weal, good and safety whereof, I will
never shun to spend my life.

Answer :

In the excerpts from Queen Elizabeth's Address to the Troops at Tilbury and Response to Parliament's Request That She Marry, Queen Elizabeth used a combination of rhetorical appeals to effectively address her audience. 1. Queen Elizabeth used an appeal to ethos when addressing the troops. By emphasizing her commitment to living or dying among them and laying down her honor and blood for her God, kingdoms, and people, she establishes her credibility, trustworthiness, and moral character. This appeal to ethos aims to inspire loyalty and confidence in her leadership among the troops. 2. When addressing members of Parliament, Queen Elizabeth used an appeal to logos. By stating her resolve not to conclude anything prejudicial to the realm and her willingness to spend her life for the weal, good, and safety of the kingdom, she presents a logical argument based on reason and sound judgment. This appeal to logos appeals to the intellect and rational thinking of the parliament members. Overall, Queen Elizabeth strategically employed a mix of ethos (addressing the troops) and logos (addressing Parliament) to convey her messages effectively and persuade her audience to support her cause.
