18th May, 1536, Tower of London
From Anne the Quene to Her Grace, Princess Elizabeth Tudor of Wales,
This shall be the last letter I ever write, and I would not see it written to anyone but you, my only daughter. From my window I watch the dusk ebb away, and the sky flare up like a blushing rose; twilight of this new day, my last day, has come.
They will make sure that 당신 never know me, my Elizabeth, and if they do me, they will see that 당신 know me as the lewd, traitorous whore your father created and destroyed. Still I urge 당신 to 사랑 him because though the fiery passion with which he once loved me soured he always made an effort to 사랑 당신 despite your mother.
Very soon I will go 앞으로 and die disgraced, humiliated, but for now I urge 당신 to live as I have. When I was just a child in the court of Margaret of Austria, and then in that French court of Marguerite of Navarre, I had a taste of what true living, exciting living, was, and in time I hope that 당신 will heed my 조언 and continue to change this world where I could not.
I have charged my own chaplain Matthew Parker with your spiritual care and he has assured me that he will bring 당신 up according to the faith I myself would have chosen for you. This is an age of reform in every way imaginable, and perhaps someday 당신 will live in an England where the religious 책 I read might be celebrated as the paragons of truth that I know them to be. In matters of church 당신 may not always be your own leader; your father was ever-generous with me, and I am thankful for it, that he allowed me to preside over his clergy, appoint his men, endorse the English Bible, and even spare heretics who might have suffered deaths 더 많이 shameful than mine shall certainly be.
Whatever your faith I hope that 당신 will sympathize with the persecuted and be a friend to those who show 당신 kindness; I fear that, because of who your mother is, there will be few who do. Dawn approaches; I must finish. Sweet girl, I fear that 당신 may never be queen; but regardless 당신 must be the most learned princess that 당신 can. Let your sex not hamper your mind; develop opinions, share opinions. This world is vain, this world is lascivious; 사랑 God but follow that word of Ecclesiastes and live every 일 knowing the 다음 one might be taken from 당신 without preamble.
Lastly I warn you, from a woman condemned to the beautiful woman someday 당신 shall be, of the treachery of men. Men will rule you, Elizabeth, and they will lead 당신 의해 your desire and 의해 their promises; but know that 당신 must lead men 의해 their passion and with your half-promises. That is the only way. I have no shame in that I was not the icy mother to 당신 that a 퀸 ought to be with her litter. I have loved 당신 as your father loves you, but they will never let 당신 know that.
