‘Our gentle Lord acts too generously
if what you say is actually so.
You lived for less than two years in our world,
knew neither your creed nor paternoster
nor how to pray or to please God,
but were dubbed a queen on your first day!
My Lord excuse me, but I cannot believe
that God would make such a great mistake.
On my word, young woman, it would be one thing
if you were counted a countess of heaven
or allotted the role of a lower lady.
But a queen no less – that exceeds the limit.’
