Dudley For God's sake, you are still my Elizabeth. Elizabeth I am not your Elizabeth! I am no man's Elizabeth. And if you think to rule here, you are mistaken. I will have one mistress here... and no master! Elizabeth I have rid England of her enemies. What do I do now? Am I to be made of stone? Must I be touched by nothing? Walsingham Aye, Madam, to reign supreme. All men need something greater than themselves to look up to and worship. They must be able to touch the divine here on earth. Elizabeth Tonight I think I die.
