The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex

:02:17

There he is!

:02:49

How nobly he bears himself.

:02:51

Oh, it must be wonderful
to be a man and a hero.

:02:54

- He carries himself like a king.
- His eyes constantly look up...

:02:57

...searching for the queen.
Isn't he wonderful?

:03:00

Yes, love too has its victories.
And this, I think, belongs to Her Majesty.

:03:05

An easy victory
if one is a queen and may command it.

:03:08

What if Her Majesty should overhear you?

:03:25

The day when Essex returns, every petticoat
is chosen with an eye to pleasing him.

:03:30

Come along, my son,
into the presence chamber.

:03:32

You may do as you please, Father.
I'll have no part.

:03:35

Don't be a fool, Cecil. Elizabeth
is difficult, even on good days.

:03:39

Good or bad, we'll see
little of her with Essex home.

:03:46

Something's got to be done to tarnish him
or he'll share England's throne.

:03:50

Then where shall we be?
I'll be hanged if I welcome him.

:03:53

You may be hanged if you do not, my son.
You know Her Majesty's infatuation for him.
