ELIZABETH. That is my prayer to posterity. Forget not your own to God; and so goodnight, Master Will.
SHAKESPEAR. Goodnight, great Elizabeth. God save the Queen!
ELIZABETH. Amen.
Exeunt severally: she to her chamber: he, in custody of the warder, to the gate nearest Blackfriars.
AYOT, ST. LAWRENCE, 20th June 1910.
First Transcriber's Notes on the editing:
Punctuation and spelling retained as in the printed text. Shaw intentionally spelled many words according to a non-standard system. For example, "don't" is given as "dont" (without apostrophe), "Dr." is given as "Dr" (without a period at the end), and "Shakespeare" is given as "Shakespear" (no "e" at the end). The pound (currency) symbol has been replaced by the word "pounds".
