12Elizabethan Era – Golden Age

Elizabeth…She shall be loved and feared.

Her own shall bless her: her foes shake like a field of beaten corn, and hang their heads with sorrow.

Good grows with her. In her days every man shall eat in

safety under his own vine what he plants and sing the merry songs of peace

to all his neighbors.

William Shakespeare
