Scottish
Quotations from Mary Queen Of Scots
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"
