Thus you may see the rise and fall of this once stately, and then unhappy woman, with whose dying lamentation shall conclude.
THE
DYING LAMENTATION
OF
MRS JANE SHORE.
Good People,
Though by the rigour of the law you
are forbidden to give me any relief, yet
you may pity my unhappy state, for
the Scripture saith, That to the miserable
pity should be shewn. I am now
putting a period to a miserable life; a
life that I have been long weary of.
Nor would I desire to live in the splendour,
pomp, and glory of Edward's
court. No, I am happier now on the
dung-hill than ever I was in his arms.
