14411039My conscience tels me thou art innocent.

14421040Hump. Ah gratious Henry these daies are dangerous,

14481041And would my death might end these miseries,

14491042And staie their moodes for good King Henries sake,

14511043But I am made the Prologue to their plaie,

14521044And thousands more must follow after me,

14531045That dreads not yet their liues destruction.

14551047Bewfords firie eyes showes his enuious minde,

14561048Buckinghams proud lookes bewraies his cruel thoughts,

14581049And dogged Yorke that leuels at the Moone

14591050Whose ouerweening arme I haue held backe.

14611052And you my gratious Lady and soueraigne mistresse,

14621053Causelesse haue laid complaints vpon my head,

14681054I shall not want false witnesses inough,

14671055That so amongst you, you may haue my life.

14701056The Prouerbe no doubt will be well performde,

14711057A staffe is quickly found to beate a dog.

14781058Suffolke. Doth he not twit our soueraigne Lady here,

14801059As if that she with ignomious wrong,

14811060Had sobornde or hired some to sweare against his life.

14821061Queene. I but I can giue the loser leaue to speake.

14831062Humph. Far truer spoke then ment, I loose indeed,

14841063Beshrovv the vvinners hearts, they plaie me false.

14861064Buck. Hele vvrest the sence and keep vs here all day,

14901069Before his legs can beare his bodie vp,

14911070And puts his vvatchfull shepheard from his side,

14921071Whilst vvolues stand snarring vvho shall bite him first.
