Address to the Troops at Tilbury Response to Parliament's Request
That She Marry
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
