Anne Boleyn. Her Life as told by Lancelot de Carle's 1536 Letter.
In 1536, two weeks after the execution of Anne Boleyn, her brother George and four others, Lancelot du Carle, wrote an extraordinary letter that described Anne's life, and her trial and execution, to which he was a witness. This book presents a new translation of that letter, with additional material from other contemporary sources such as Letters, Hall's and Wriothesley's Chronicles, the pamphlets of Wynkyn the Worde, the Memorial of George Constantyne, the Portuguese Letter and the Baga de Secrets, all of which are provided in Appendices.
Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback format.
Satires by Horace is in Roman Books.
Praeterea ... Ne sic, ut qui iocularia, ridens
Percurram; - quamquam ridentem dicere verum
Quid vetat? ut pueris olim dant crustula blandi
Doctores, elementa velint ut discere prima;
Sed tamen amoto quaeramus seria ludo.
Furthermore... Not in such a way that I may run through jokingly, laughing.
What forbids us to speak the truth while laughing?
Just as teachers once give sweet treats to children,
so that they may want to learn the first elements.
But nevertheless, with the playful elements removed,
let us seek serious matters."
