Elizabeth I

How vast and endless verdant fields
Light subtle breeze bring us glad tidings
Long live the Queen!
Sing, play, compose, translate
Elizabeth, Elizabeth

Good Queen Bess, Good Queen Bess
She smiles, dances, sing, play instruments Gloriana enchants
Elizabeth, Elizabeth
The mirror reflects most beautiful nobility
Long hair, strawberry blonde

Blue eyes, white skin, red-haired, freckles
Velvet dresses, corset, gloves, fan
By your concord and courage in the field we will soon have a famous victory over the enemies of my God, my Kingdom and my people
I am already confined to a husband who is the kingdom of England
Bronze shines like gold to the ignorant and like fair to the goldsmith

A fool cautions himself too late when all danger is past
Men fight wars, women win
My seat has been the seat of Kings and I will have no scoundrel to succeed me
I will never be violently constrained to do anything
I think I sent the wolves not the shepherds to rule Ireland, for they left me nothing but ashes and carcasses to reign over!

Do not tell secrets to those whose faith and silence you have not yet tested
Those who seem the most holy are the worst
The real sin against the Holy Spirit is ingratitude
Grief never ends, but changes. It is a passage, not a place to stay
Suffering is not a sign of weakness or lack of faith: it is the price of love

Words are leaves, substance consists of actions, which are the true fruits of a good tree
Long corridors, towers, garden, flowers
Chandeliers, candlesticks, candles
Tudor royalty, gold, Persian rugs, velvet
She married England

Faced the tyranny of Kings and Queens
Peaceful diplomat Isabel I, find solution to
rebellions and religious crises
Armor, horse, leding the army british
Battles for honor, justice, liberty

Defeating the invincible armada
Gloriana sovereign walks among the people
All bow and exalt
Elizabeth
Bess was on her feet for a week without sleep
Succumbed to depress and to macabre makeup
Reigned with mastery, courage, wrath, benevolence and love for 45 years
