Read the excerpt from Queen Elizabeth's Address to
the Troops at Tilbury.
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.
