Anne Boleyn

" If he'd been a proper man he'd have gone on loving me.
If it had been the other way round i'd never have married
while my lover was free. He gave in, he let me go.
I'll never forgive him. He's dead for me. I can be dead for him.
All I want to do is to get out of this grave and get back to court.
All that there is left for me is ambition. "
- ANNE BOLEYN said - from THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL book

" 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,
where of 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. "
