974And giue your hearts to; when they once perceiue

975The least rub in your fortunes, fall away

976Like water from ye, neuer found againe

977But where they meane to sinke ye: all good people

978Pray for me, I must now forsake ye; the last houre

979Of my long weary life is come vpon me:

980Farewell; and when you would say somthing that is sad,

981Speake how I fell.

982I haue done; and God forgiue me.

9841. O, this is full of pitty; Sir, it cals

985I feare, too many curses on their heads

986That were the Authors.

9872. If the Duke be guiltlesse,

988'Tis full of woe: yet I can giue you inckling

989Of an ensuing euill, if it fall,

990Greater then this.

9911. Good Angels keepe it from vs:

992What may it be? you doe not doubt my faith Sir?

9932. This Secret is so weighty, 'twill require

994A strong faith to conceale it.

9951. Let me haue it:

996I doe not talke much.

9972. I am confident;

998You shall Sir: Did you not of late dayes heare

999A buzzing of a Separation

1000Betweene the King and Katherine?

10011. Yes, but it held not;

1002For when the King once heard it, out of anger

1003He sent command to the Lord Mayor straight

1004To stop the rumor; and allay those tongues

1005That durst disperse it.

10062. But that slander Sir,

1007Is found a truth now: for it growes agen

1008Fresher then e're it was; and held for certaine

1009The King will venture at it. Either the Cardinall,

1010Or some about him neere, haue out of malice

1011To the good Queene, possest him with a scruple

1012That will vndoe her: To confirme this too,

1013Cardinall Campeius is arriu'd, and lately,

1014As all thinke for this busines.

10151. Tis the Cardinall;

1016And meerely to reuenge him on the Emperour,

1017For not bestowing on him at his asking,

1018The Archbishopricke of Toledo, this is purpos'd.

10192. I thinke

1020You haue hit the marke; but is't not cruell,

1021That she should feele the smart of this: the Cardinall

1022Will haue his will, and she must fall.

10231. 'Tis wofull.

1024Wee are too open heere to argue this:

1036I feare he will indeede; well, let him haue them; hee

1037will haue all I thinke.

1040Norf. Well met my Lord Chamberlaine.

1041Cham. Good day to both your Graces.

1042Suff. How is the King imployd?

1043Cham. I left him priuate,

1044Full of sad thoughts and troubles.

1045Norf. What's the cause?

1046Cham. It seemes the Marriage with his Brothers Wife

1047Ha's crept too neere his Conscience.

1048Suff. No, his Conscience

1049Ha's crept too neere another Ladie.

1050Norf. Tis so;

1051This is the Cardinals doing: The King-Cardinall,

1052That blinde Priest, like the eldest Sonne of Fortune,

1053Turnes what he list. The King will know him one day.

1054Suff. Pray God he doe,

1055Hee'l neuer know himselfe else.

1056Norf. How holily he workes in all his businesse,

1057And with what zeale? For now he has crackt the League

1058Between vs & the Emperor (the Queens great Nephew)

1059He diues into the Kings Soule, and there scatters

1060Dangers, doubts, wringing of the Conscience,

1061Feares, and despaires, and all these for his Marriage.

1062And out of all these, to restore the King,

1063He counsels a Diuorce, a losse of her

1064That like a Iewell, ha's hung twenty yeares

1065About his necke, yet neuer lost her lustre;

1066Of her that loues him with that excellence,

1067That Angels loue good men with: Euen of her,

1068That when the greatest stroake of Fortune falls

1069Will blesse the King: and is not this course pious?

1070Cham. Heauen keep me from such councel: tis most true

1071These newes are euery where, euery tongue speaks 'em,

1072And euery true heart weepes for't. All that dare

1073Looke into these affaires, see this maine end,

1074The French Kings Sister. Heauen will one day open

1075The Kings eyes, that so long haue slept vpon

1076This bold bad man.

1077Suff. And free vs from his slauery.

1078Norf. We had need pray,

1079And heartily, for our deliuerance;

1080Or this imperious man will worke vs all

1081From Princes into Pages: all mens honours

1082Lie like one lumpe before him, to be fashion'd

1083Into what pitch he please.

1084Suff. For me, my Lords,

1085I loue him not, nor feare him, there's my Creede:

1086As I am made without him, so Ile stand,

1087If the King please: his Curses and his blessings

1088Touch me alike: th'are breath I not beleeue in.

1089I knew him, and I know him: so I leaue him

1090To him that made him proud; the Pope.

1091Norf. Let's in;

1092And with some other busines, put the King

1093From these sad thoughts, that work too much vpon him:

1094My Lord, youle beare vs company?

1095Cham. Excuse me,

1096The King ha's sent me otherwhere: Besides

1097You'l finde a most vnfit time to disturbe him:

1098Health to your Lordships.
