King Has Absolute Power. And What He

The Executioner Is, I Believe, Very Expert; And My Neck Is Very Slender

From A Private Gentlewoman You Have Made Me First A Marchioness, Then A Queen; And, As You Can Raise Me No Higher In The World, You Are Now Sending Me To Be A Saint In Heaven.

And Thus I Take My Leave Of The World And Of You All, And I Heartily Desire You All To Pray For Me.

The King Has Been Very Good To Me. He Promoted Me From A Simple Maid To Be A Marchioness. Then He Raised Me To Be A Queen. Now He Will Raise Me To Be A Martyr.

Good Christian People, I Am Come Hither To Die, For According To The Law, And By The Law I Am Judged To Die, And Therefore I Will Speak Nothing Against It. I Am Come Hither To Accuse No Man, Nor To Speak Anything Of That, Whereof I Am Accused And Condemned To Die.
