| Small time, but in that small most greatly liv’d | |
| This star of England: Fortune made his sword, | |
| By which the world’s best garden he achiev’d, | |
| And of it left his son imperial lord. |
–Henry V, Act V, sc. 2, 205-8
Elizabeth inspired his words, with which the world’s finest verses were conceived, and this was his legacy to their imperial son.
The star appears in the de Vere coat of arms.
