• Lord Burghley : Good news Master Drake - the Queen wishes to see you!

  Francis Drake : Good news eh? God knows I've nothing but ill news for her!

• Queen Elizabeth : Stand up and speak out! What brings you here to me?

  Francis Drake : Rage, Madam, and hunger for bloody vengeance.

• Minor role : Bah! It's no use. I've no stomach for bowls today!

  Mother Moone : What be amiss with thee Master Locke?

  Minor role : It's the thought of what's in store for all of us if the Spaniards come a-sneakin' up the Sound. I said how it would be. If Drake weren't put away, I said, the Spaniards would come. An' now they're coning!

  Mother Moone : Aye, and you said it would rain Tuesday and it was fine. Let 'em come. Haven't Drake singed the King of Spain's beard at Cadiz? Bain't 'e a match for the Armada? Do but look at our fleet down along.

  Minor role : Foo! One Spanish galleon would swallow the lot!

  Francis Drake : You're a true British bulldog, Locke. Ever growling over your own bone.
