From Mary Stuart: A Tragedy by Friedrich Schiller

female · anguished · 52 sec

I beg that all My servants unmolested may return To France, or Scotland, as their wishes lead. (BURLEIGH: It shall be as you wish.) And since my body Is not to rest in consecrated ground, I pray you suffer this my faithful servant To bear my heart to France, to my relations-- Alas! 'twas ever there. (BURLEIGH: It shall be done. What wishes else?) Unto her majesty Of England bear a sister's salutation; Tell her that from the bottom of my heart I pardon her my death; most humbly, too, I crave her to forgive me for the passion With which I spoke to her. May God preserve her And bless her with a long and prosperous reign.
