My most dear lord, king and husband,
The گھنٹہ of my death now drawing on, the tender love I owe آپ forceth me, my case being such, to commend myself to you, and to put آپ in remembrance with a few words of the health and safeguard of your soul which آپ ought to prefer before all worldly matters, and before the care and pampering of your body, for the which آپ have cast me into many calamities and yourself into many troubles. For my part, I pardon آپ everything, and I wish to devoutly pray God that He will pardon آپ also. For the rest, I commend unto آپ our daughter Mary, beseeching آپ to be a good father unto her, as I have heretofore desired. I entreat آپ 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 سال more, lest they be unprovided for. Lastly, I make this vow, that mine eyes desire آپ above all things.
