No malice in my heart is found.
To any man above the ground.
Now, all good people that speak of me,
You may say I died for my liberty.

Although in chains you see me fast,
No frown upon my friends you'll cast,
For my relations were not to blame,
And I brought my parents to grief and shame.

Farewell relations and friends also.
The time is come that I must go;
As for foes, I have but one,
But to the same I've done no wrong.


FINIS.
