Summary

Description
English: "On 25 July 1597, a Polish ambassador, Paul Dzialynski, chastised Queen Elizabeth I publicly for interfering with his country's shipping trade with Spain. The furious Queen replied at once in extemporaneous Latin, a stunning rhetorical feat which delighted her countrymen and renewed the popularity of the aging queen. With great rhetorical skill, Elizabeth used a characteristic arrangement, the balancing of antitheses, together with sentence variety, irony, wordplay, and even some Latin rhyme. This brilliant epideictic oration, though short, demonstrates her acute historical and political memory, her definitions of "the law of nature" and "books of princes," and her perception of her royal power, and it demonstrates that at age sixty-three the queen's intellectual faculties were far from impaired." Summary from scholar Janet M. Green, whose article on the matter, "Queen Elizabeth I's Latin Reply to the Polish Ambassador". https://doi.org/10.2307/2671184
