I am the only daughter of my father; neither hath he any child to be his heir, neither any near kinsman, nor any son of his alive, to whom I may keep myself for a wife. My seven husbands are already dead; and why should I live? But if it please not Thee that I should die, command some regard to be had of me, and pity taken on me, that I hear no more reproach."
