Reading Test
Read Elizabeth’s Speech to the Troops at Tilbury (before the battle against the Armada assembled
by Philip II of Spain) and then solve the tasks:
“My loving people,
(…) I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but (…), in the midst and heat
of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood,
even in the dust.I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king
of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to
which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of
every one of your virtues in the field. (…) not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your
valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people. “
