ANNE BOLEYN'S SPEECH AT HER EXECUTION
MAY 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.
