My most dear lord, king and husband,
The 時 of my death now drawing on, the tender 愛 I owe あなた forceth me, my case being such, to commend myself to you, and to put あなた in remembrance with a few words of the health and safeguard of your soul which あなた ought to prefer before all worldly matters, and before the care and pampering of your body, for the which あなた have cast me into many calamities and yourself into many troubles. For my part, I pardon あなた everything, and I wish to devoutly pray God that He will pardon あなた also. For the rest, I commend unto あなた our daughter Mary, beseeching あなた to be a good father unto her, as I have heretofore desired. I entreat あなた also, on behalf of my maids, to give them marriage portions, which is not much, they being but three. For all my other servants I solicit the wages due them, and a 年 more, lest they be unprovided for. Lastly, I make this vow, that mine eyes desire あなた above all things.
