The words etched into the glass read, "Fain would I climb but that I fear to fall," showcasing Raleigh's ambition tempered by caution.
The addition made by Queen Elizabeth completes the couplet with sage advice, "If thy heart fail thee, do not climb at all." This exchange between the queen and her courtier exemplifies their complex relationship, blending support and guidance in pursuit of greatness.
