insert clever title here

Help me remember a quote by Anne Boleyn (I think). If I recall correctly, she once told Henry: "I'm too [abc] to be your mistress but too [xyz] to be your wife." I can't for the life of me remember it. Also, [abc] and [xyz] might actually be the same word.

Best answer: According to this book, it's "I am too good to be your mistress, not good enough to be your wife."
