1.1.239Good morrow, and well met. How have ye done

1.1.340Since last we saw in France?

I thank your grace,

1.1.542Healthful, and ever since a fresh admirer

1.1.643Of what I saw there.

An untimely ague

1.1.845Stayed me a prisoner in my chamber when

1.1.946Those suns of glory, those two lights of men,

1.1.1047Met in the vale of Andres.

'Twixt Guînes and Ardes

1.1.1249I was then present, saw them salute on horseback,

1.1.1350Beheld them when they lighted, how they clung

1.1.1451In their Embracement, as they grew together,

1.1.1552Which had they, 53what four throned ones could have weighed

1.1.1654Such a compounded one?

All the whole time

1.1.1856I was my chamber's prisoner.

Then you lost

1.1.2058The view of earthly glory. Men might say

1.1.2159Till this time pomp was single, but now married

1.1.2260To one above itself. Each following day

1.1.2361Became the next day's master, till the last

1.1.2462Made former wonders its. Today the French,

1.1.2563All clinquant, all in gold, like heathen gods,

1.1.2664Shone down the English; and tomorrow they

1.1.2765Made Britain India: every man that stood

1.1.2866Showed like a mine. Their dwarfish pages were

1.1.2967As cherubim, all gilt. The madams too,

1.1.3068Not used to toil, did almost sweat to bear

1.1.3169The pride upon them, that their very labor

1.1.3270Was to them as a painting. Now this masque

1.1.3371Was cried incomparable, and th’ensuing night

1.1.3472Made it a fool and beggar. The two kings,

1.1.3573Equal in luster, were now best, now worst,

1.1.3674As presence did present them: him in eye,

1.1.3775Still him in praise, and being present both,

1.1.3876'Twas said they saw but one, and no discerner

1.1.3977Durst wag his tongue in censure. When these suns —-

1.1.4078For so they phrase 'em —- by their heralds challenged

1.1.4179The noble spirits to arms, they did perform

1.1.4280Beyond thought's compass, that former fabulous story

1.1.4381Being now seen possible enough, got credit

1.1.4482That Bevis was believed.

Oh, you go far.

As I belong to worship, and affect

1.1.4785In honor honesty, the tract of everything

1.1.4886Would by a good discourser lose some life,

1.1.4987Which action's self was tongue to.

1.1.5088All was royal;

1.1.5189To the disposing of it nought rebelled,

1.1.5290Order gave each thing view; the office did

1.1.5391Distinctly his full function.

Who did guide --

1.1.5592I mean, who set the body and the limbs

1.1.5693Of this great sport together, 94as you guess?

One, certes, that promises no element

1.1.5896In such a business.

I pray you who, my lord?

All this was ordered by the good discretion

1.1.6199Of the right reverend Cardinal of York.

The devil speed him! No man's pie is freed

1.1.63101From his ambitious finger. What had he

1.1.64102To do in these fierce vanities? I wonder

1.1.65103That such a keech can with his very bulk

1.1.66104Take up the rays o'th'beneficial sun

1.1.67105And keep it from the earth.

Surely, sir,

1.1.69107There's in him stuff that puts him to these ends;

1.1.70108For being not propped by ancestry, whose grace

1.1.71109Chalks successors their way, nor called upon

1.1.72110For high feats done to th'crown, neither allied

1.1.73111To eminent assistants, but spider-like,

1.1.74112Out of his self-drawing web, ‘a gives us note

1.1.75113The force of his own merit makes his way

1.1.76114A gift that heaven gives for him, which buys

1.1.77115A place next to the king.

I cannot tell

1.1.79117What heaven hath given him -- let some grayer eye

1.1.80118Pierce into that -- but I can see his pride

1.1.81119Peep through each part of him; whence has he that,

1.1.82120If not from hell? The devil is a niggard,

1.1.83121Or has given all before, and he begins

1.1.84122A new hell in himself.

Why the devil,

1.1.86124Upon this French going-out, took he upon him,

1.1.87125Without the privity o'th'king, t'appoint

1.1.88126Who should attend on him? He makes up the file

1.1.89127Of all the gentry; for the most part such

1.1.90128To whom as great a charge, as little honor

1.1.91129He meant to lay upon; and his own letter,

1.1.92130The honorable board of council, out

1.1.93131Must fetch him in, he papers.

I do know

1.1.95133Kinsmen of mine, three at the least, that have

1.1.96134By this so sickened their estates that never

1.1.97135They shall abound as formerly.

Oh, many

1.1.99137Have broke their backs with laying manors on 'em

1.1.100138For this great journey. What did this vanity

1.1.101139But minister communication of

1.1.102140A most poor issue?

Grievingly, I think

1.1.104142The peace between the French and us not values

1.1.105143The cost that did conclude it.

Every man,

1.1.107145After the hideous storm that followed, was

1.1.108146A thing inspired, and not consulting, broke

1.1.109147Into a general prophesy: that this tempest,

1.1.110148Dashing the garment of this peace, aboded

1.1.111149The sudden breach on't.

Which is budded out,

1.1.113151For France hath flawed the league, and hath attached

1.1.114152Our merchants' goods at Bordeaux.

Is it therefore

1.1.116154Th'ambassador is silenced?

Marry, is't.

A proper title of a peace, and purchased

1.1.119157At a superfluous rate.

Why, all this business

1.1.121159Our reverend cardinal carried

Like it your grace,

1.1.123161The state takes notice of the private difference

1.1.124162Betwixt you and the cardinal. I advise you --

1.1.125163And take it from a heart that wishes towards you

1.1.126164Honor and plenteous safety -- that you read

1.1.127165The cardinal's malice and his potency

1.1.128166Together; to consider further that

1.1.129167What his high hatred would effect wants not

1.1.130168A minister in his power. You know his nature,

1.1.131169That he's revengeful, and I know his sword

1.1.132170Hath a sharp edge: it's long and't may be said

1.1.133171It reaches far, and where 'twill not extend,

1.1.134172Thither he darts it. Bosom up my counsel,

1.1.135173You'l find it wholesome. Lo, where comes that rock

1.1.136174That I advise your shunning.

The Duke of Buckingham's surveyor, ha?

1.1.138181Where's his examination?

Here so please you.

Is he in person ready?

Ay, please your grace.

Well, we shall then know more, and Buckingham

1.1.143186Shall lessen this big look.

This butcher's cur is venom-mouthed, and I

1.1.145189Have not the power to muzzle him: therefore best

1.1.146190Not wake him in his slumber. A beggar's book

1.1.147191Outworths a noble's blood.

What, are you chafed?

1.1.149193Ask God for temperance: that's th'appliance oney

1.1.150194Which your disease requires.

I read in's looks

1.1.152196Matter against me, and his eye reviled

1.1.153197Me as his abject obiect at this instant

1.1.154198He bores me with some trick; he's gone to'th'king.

1.1.155199I'll follow, and out-stare him.

Stay, my lord,

1.1.157201And let your reason with your choler question

1.1.158202What 'tis you go about. To climb steep hills

1.1.159203Requires slow pace at first. Anger is like

1.1.160204A full hot horse, who being allowed his way,

1.1.161205Self-mettle tires him. Not a man in England

1.1.162206Can advise me like you. Be to yourself

1.1.163207As you would to your friend.

I'll to the king,

1.1.165209And from a mouth of honor quite cry down

1.1.166210This Ipswich fellow's insolence, or proclaim

1.1.167211There's difference in no persons.

Be advised:

1.1.169213Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot

1.1.170214That it do singe yourself. We may outrun

1.1.171215By violent swiftness that which we run at,

1.1.172216And lose by ouer-running. Know you not

1.1.173217The fire that mounts the liquor till't run o'er,

1.1.174218In seeming to augment it, wastes it? Be advised:

1.1.175219I say again there is no English soul

1.1.176220More stronger to direct you than yourself,

1.1.177221If with the sap of reason you would quench

1.1.178222Or but allay the fire of passion.

Sir,

1.1.180224I am thankful to you and I'll go along

1.1.181225By your prescription: but this top-proud fellow,

1.1.182226Whom from the flow of gall I name not, but

1.1.183227From sincere motions, by intelligence

1.1.184228And proofs as clear as founts in July when

1.1.185229We see each grain of gravel, I do know

1.1.186230To be corrupt and treasonous.

Say not treasonous.

To th'king I'll say't, and make my vouch as strong

1.1.189233As shore of rock. Attend: this holy fox,

1.1.190234Or wolf, or both (for he is equal ravenous

1.1.191235As he is subtle, and as prone to mischief

1.1.192236As able to perform't) his mind and place

1.1.193237Infecting one another, yea reciprocally,

1.1.194238Only to show his pomp as well in France

1.1.195239As here at home, suggests the king our master

1.1.196240To this last costly treaty, th'interview,

1.1.197241That swallowed so much treasure, and like a glass

1.1.198242Did break ith'wrenching.

Faith, and so it did.

Pray give me favor, sir. This cunning cardinal

1.1.201245The articles o'th'combination drew

1.1.202246As himself pleased, and they were ratified

1.1.203247As he cried 'Thus let be', to as much end

1.1.204248As give a crutch to th'dead. But our count-cardinal

1.1.205249Has done this, and 'tis well; for worthy Wolsey

1.1.206250(Who cannot err) he did it. Now this follows

1.1.207251(Which, as I take it, is a kind of puppy

1.1.208252To th'old dam treason) Charles the emperor,

1.1.209253Under pretence to see the queen his aunt,

1.1.210254(For 'twas indeed his color, but he came

1.1.211255To whisper Wolsey) here makes visitation.

1.1.212256His fears were that the interview betwixt

1.1.213257England and France might through their amity

1.1.214258Breed him some prejudice; for from this league

1.1.215259Peeped harms that menaced him. Privily

1.1.216260Deals with our cardinal, and as I trow,

1.1.217261(Which I do well, for I am sure the emperor

1.1.218262Paid ere he promised) whereby his suit was granted

1.1.219263Ere it was asked. But when the way was made

1.1.220264And paved with gold, the emperor thus desired

1.1.221265That he would please to alter the king's course

1.1.222266And break the aforesaid peace. Let the king know

1.1.223267(As soon he shall by me) that thus the cardinal

1.1.224268Does buy and sell his honor as he pleases,

1.1.225269And for his own advantage.

I am sorry

1.1.227271To hear this of him, and could wish he were

1.1.228272Somthing mistaken in't.

No, not a syllable.

1.1.230274I do pronounce him in that very shape

1.1.231275He shall appear in proof.

Your office, sergeant: execute it.

Sir,

1.1.234280My lord the Duke of Buckingham, and Earl

1.1.235281Of Hertford, Stafford and Northampton, I

1.1.236282Arrest thee of high treason, in the name

1.1.237283Of our most sovereign king.

Lo you, my lord,

1.1.239285The net has fallen upon me. I shall perish

1.1.240286Under device and practise.

I am sorry

1.1.242288To see you ta'en from liberty to look on

1.1.243289The busines present. 'Tis his highness' pleasure

1.1.244290You shall to th'Tower.

It will help me nothing

1.1.246292To plead mine innocence, for that dye is on me

1.1.247293Which makes my whit'st part, black. The will of heav'n

1.1.248294Be done in this and all things: I obey.

1.1.249295O my Lord Abergavenny, fare you well.

Nay, he must bear you company. The king

1.1.251297Is pleased you shall to th'Tower, till you know

1.1.252298How he determines further.

As the duke said,

1.1.254300The will of heaven be done, and the king's pleasure

1.1.255301By me obeyed.

Here is a warrant from

1.1.257303The king, t'attach Lord Montague and the Bodies

1.1.258304Of the duke's confessor, John de la Car,

1.1.259305One Gilbert Peck, his chancellor.

So, so;

1.1.261307These are the limbs o'th'plot. No more, I hope.

A Monk o'th'Chartreux.

O, Nicholas Hopkins?

He.

My surveyor is false. The o'er-great cardinal

1.1.266312Hath showed him gold. My life is spanned already;

1.1.267313I am the shadow of poor Buckingham,

1.1.268314Whose figure even this instant cloud puts on,

1.1.269315By dark'ning my clear sun. My lords farewell.
