MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS
Scottish queen and daughter of James V of Scotland
(1542 - 1587)

In my end is my beginning.
      - [End]

O Lord, my God,
  I have trusted in Thee;
    O Jesu, my dearest One,
      Now set me free.
        In prison's oppression,
          In sorrow's obsession,
            I weary for Thee.
              With sighing and crying,
                Bowed down in dying,
                  I adore Thee, I implore Thee, set me free.
                    [Lat., O Domine Deus! speravi in te;
                      O care mi Jesu! nunc libera me.
                        In dura catena, in misera poena,
                          Disidero te.
                            Languendo, jemendo, et genuflectendo,
                              Adoro, imploro, un liberes me!]
      - written in her Book of Devotion before her execution translated by Swinburne in "Mary Stuart"
        [Prayer]

Talk not to me of the wisdom of women,--I know my own sex well; the wisest of us all are but little less foolish than the rest.
      - [Wisdom]
