"Yes, my lov'd Lord, my Soul is mov'd, like Thine, / At ev'ry Danger which Invades our England; / My cold Heart kindles at the great Occasion, / And could be more than Man, in her Defence."

LADY JANE GRAY.
Yes, my lov'd Lord, my Soul is mov'd, like Thine,
At ev'ry Danger which Invades our England;
My cold Heart kindles at the great Occasion,
And could be more than Man, in her Defence.
But where is my Commission to Redress?
Or whence my Pow'r to Save? Can Edward's Will,
Or Twenty met in Council, make a Queen?
Can you, my Lords, give me the Pow'r to canvass
A doubtful Title with King Henry's Daughters?
Where are the Rev'rend Sages of the Law,
To guide me with their Wisdoms, and point out
The Paths which Right and Justice bid me tread?
(III.i, p. 35)
