princess Elizabeth I am commanded to take you hence from this place to the tower you are accused of conspiring against her Sovereign Majesty tonight do think I die for the love of God will you leave your kingdom to a heretic The Queen Is Dead long live the queen there are moments of crisis you have inherited a most powerless and degenerate State it's threatened from aboard by the Ambitions of France and Spain and is weaker than I have ever known that when absolute power a cour to Worship You country to obey you I don't mean nothing
to you how but you know you everything to me is held by none until you marry and produce an heir you will find no security and coveted by all how dare you come into my presence why do you follow me here it is my business to protect your majesty Nori's power in court is growing it is said that he and his foreign allies are raising an army that will outnumber your own I am my father's daughter I am not afraid of anything your majesty would improve all these matters if you would agree to marry but
marry who your grace for some say France and others Spain so I'm not sure how best to please you unless I married one of each what is hers by right of birth you must reassure his majesty that the time is close at hand you are in the greatest danger must be defended today I shall watch the fall of that heretic girl but old loyalties we must take these things so much to heart that you do not fear to strike and Youthful passions you are still my Elizabeth I am not your Elizabeth I am no man's
Elizabeth must give way I will have one mistress here and no master to the DU of a queen and let it all be done [Music] Elizabeth
