If It Ever Lay In My Power,

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.

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.

Remember Me When You Do Pray That Hope Doth Lead From Day To Day.

If Any Person Should Meddle With My Cause, I Require Them To Judge The Best'.

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