The captain of the guard begs permission
to use force to scatter them.

1:34:09
So that's what you came
to see me about?

1:34:12
I thought you brought word.
1:34:14
Milord of Essex would hardly condescend
to plead through me, Your Majesty.

1:34:19
And for an excellent reason.
1:34:21
He could never be sure of the form
in which you'd deliver it.

1:34:24
This is your day, Cecil.
1:34:27
The snake in the grass endures.
1:34:29
Yes, the snake's mind is best.
1:34:31
To the end of time, it will be so.
1:34:34
The snakes and the rats,
they shall flourish...

1:34:36
...and those who are noble
and free of soul go down.

1:34:39
But, madam, if you'll pardon me,
the crowd is dangerous.

1:34:42
- Lf I may order the guard.
- You may not.

1:34:48
But I will give you a task
less to your liking.

1:34:52
Go to my Lord of Essex in his cell
and send him here.

1:34:55
Well, are you struck dumb?
1:34:58
But, Your Grace, Lord Essex
is preparing for execution.

1:35:01
- Even now, a priest...
- Go, I tell you.

1:35:28
Oh, Your Majesty.
1:35:32
Penelope...
1:35:34
...look on my face.
1:35:39
What you see here, he will also see.
1:35:43
Oh, but, Your Majesty...
1:35:45
...you're tired and worn, and your beauty...
- Has gone...

1:35:50
...and left a bitter, aging mask.
1:35:53
I need no mirror to tell me now.
1:35:58
And you are young and lovely still.
