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.
And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me.
The executioner is, I believe, very expert; and my neck is very slender
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.
