A Prayer, Composed by Mary, Queen of Scots, Just Before Her Execution


[I read this and founding it quite touching. I had to share]:

O Domine, Deus, speravi in te;
O care mi Jesu, nunc libera me;
In dura catena, in misera poena,
     Desidero te;
Languendo, gemendo, et genu flectendo,
Adoro, imploro ut liberes me.


Free Translation. — By E. B. K.

My Lord and my God, I have trusted in thee,—
O Jesus, beloved, now liberate me!
In bondage, how galling! in anguish appalling!
     I am longing for thee:
In sorrows, heartrending, I, lowly now bending,
Adore thee, implore thee to liberate me.
