Henry VIII and Catherine Howard

Oh my beloved queen, where have thou been,
have you met with him, the love of your youth?
I commanded you clearly “stay away from sin”,
now please my beloved, tell me the truth.

I’ve met with my lover, forgive me my king!
My body’s defiled but my heart is all yours.
So if you want vengeance let the bells ring,
unleash your wrath, your unstoppable force.

I shall punish thee for thy crimes my love.
Your head shall be cut in a public square.
I‘m demanded by almighty God above
to wash of your sins, to be just and fair.

Then so it shall be, my beloved king.
the executioner shall slay me for my horrible sin.
Let the angels in heaven forever sing
for thy justice that always at last shall win.

Farewell to thee my beloved queen.
My heart is still broken, but God can’t forgive.
Thy death shall be swift, thy death shall be clean,
and forever your memory in my heart shall live.

Oh thank you my king, oh thank you my love,
your kindness is way too great for my sins.
My soul shall release like a snow white dove,
when you send me back to where it all begins.
