Your Gracious Majesty, it causes me such pain and grief to return the gifts you gave me. Alas, they are too beautiful, and I, unworthy to receive them. I think I never gave your Majesty cause to give them to me, since I am nothing and you are everything. Give them, I pray you, to a lady more deserving of your Majesty’s affections. I am leaving now for my family’s house at Hever. I shall think of you on the journey there.
Your loving servant,
Anne Boleyn
