LOL I didn't know her majesty Queen Elizabeth I was a poet too..... very interesting.
I am very suprised that 'On Monsieur's Departure', arguably Elizabeth's most famous foray into verse, is not posted here on PoemHunter.
Hmm, very interesting never knew that Elizabeth had written poems, interesting.
