Woudenberg, May 12. 1851.
_Prayer of Mary Queen of Scots_ (Vol. iii., p. 369.).--The following
version of this prayer, differing from that given by MR. FALCONER, may
be interesting.
In Archdeacon Bonney's _Historic Notices in reference to Fotheringay_,
p. 109., this note occurs:
"Seward asserts that the following lines were repeated by the
Queen of Scots immediately before her execution. They are set to
music by the late Dr. Harrington, of Bath, and other musicians.
"'O Domine Deus, speravi in Te!
O chare mi Jesus, nunc libera me!
In dura catena, in misera poena, desidero Te;
Languendo, gemendo, et genuflectendo,
Adoro, imploro, ut liberes me.'
