"My lords, I may have the weak and feeble body of a woman, but I have the lead face of man. I hath painted mine visage with a tincture of lead for over 2 score and 5 years. Therefore, noble sirs, do not take away the lipstick of the ladies, especially not Lady Fox, who requires this paint for her 'sexy face.' I ask this not for myself but for my people, who are my only care." -Elizabeth I
