ANNE BOLEYN'S SPEECH AT HER EXECUTIONMAY 19,
1536, 8 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING 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, but I pray God save the king
and send him long to reign over you, for a
gentler nor a more merciful prince was there
never and to me he was ever a good, a gentle and
sovereign lord. And if any person will meddle of
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. O
Lord have mercy on me, to God I commend my
soul. After being blindfolded and kneeling at the
block, she repeated several times To Jesus
Christ I commend my soul Lord Jesu receive my
soul. Recorded by Edward Hall (spelling
modernized)
