Written in her French Psalter
No crooked leg, no bleared eye,
No part deformed out of kind,
Nor yet so ugly half can be
As is the inward suspicious mind.
No part deformed out of kind,
Nor yet so ugly half can be
As is the inward suspicious mind.
By Queen Elizabeth I (c.1554-1555)

Oh dear, perhaps she is remembering her father and her grandfather!
