O Lord have mercy on me, to God I commend my soul.

And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me.

Remember me when you do pray that hope doth lead from day to day.

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.

To Jesus Christ I commend my soul; Lord Jesus receive my soul.

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.

If any person should meddle with my cause, I require them to judge the best'.
