“In my end is my beginning”
Mary Queen Of Scots

“Wherever I may be
In the woods or in the fields
Whatever the hours of day
Be it dawn or the eventide
My heart still feels it yet
The eternal regret...
As I sink into my sleep
The absent one is near
Alone upon my couch
I feel his beloved touch
In work or in repose
We are foreverver close...”
Mary Queen Of Scots

“No more tears now; I will think upon revenge.”
Mary Stuart
