Notes

  • Based on the life of Anne Boleyn.
  • Dedication: With a letter for Jack and Ann Lindsay.
  • Epigraph:

    Prowd of the spoyll that thou has gott
    Of simple hertes, thorough love's shot,
    Thinck not he hath his bow forgot,
    Al tho my lute I have done.

    Vengeaunce shall fall on thy disdain,
    That makest but game on ernest pain;
    Thinck not alone under the sonne
    Unquyt to cause thy lovers plain [complain],
    All tho my lute and I have done...

    And then may chaunce the to repent
    Thy tyme that thou hast lost and spent,
    To cause thy lovers sigh and swone [swoon];
    Then shalt thou knowe beaultie but lent,
    And wisshe and want as I have done.
    (Sir Thomas Wyatt)
