My learn'd lord cardinal,
Deliver all with charity.

Lord cardinal,
To you I speak.

12

Sir,
I am about to weep; but, thinking that...

I will, when you are humble; nay, before,
Or God will punish me. I do believe,...

My lord, my lord,
I am a simple woman, much too weak...

15

II,4,1495

What need you note it? pray you, keep your way:
When you are call'd, return. Now, the Lord help,...

16

III,1,1620

Take thy lute, wench: my soul grows sad with troubles;
Sing, and disperse 'em, if thou canst: leave working....

17

III,1,1636

How now!

18

III,1,1639

Would they speak with me?

19

III,1,1641

Pray their graces
To come near....

20

III,1,1651

Your graces find me here part of a housewife,
I would be all, against the worst may happen....

III,1,1657

Speak it here:
There's nothing I have done yet, o' my conscience,...

III,1,1699

[Aside]. To betray me.—
My lords, I thank you both for your good wills;...

24

III,1,1715

In England
But little for my profit: can you think, lords,...

25

III,1,1727

How, sir?

26

III,1,1734

Ye tell me what ye wish for both,—my ruin:
Is this your Christian counsel? out upon ye!...

27

III,1,1739

The more shame for ye: holy men I thought ye,
Upon my soul, two reverend cardinal virtues;...

III,1,1751

Ye turn me into nothing: woe upon ye
And all such false professors! would you have me—...

29

III,1,1763

Have I lived thus long—let me speak myself,
Since virtue finds no friends—a wife, a true one?...

30

III,1,1778

My lord, I dare not make myself so guilty,
To give up willingly that noble title...

31

III,1,1783

Would I had never trod this English earth,
Or felt the flatteries that grow upon it!...

III,1,1816

Do what ye will, my lords: and, pray, forgive me,
If I have used myself unmannerly;...

IV,2,2559

O Griffith, sick to death!
My legs, like loaden branches, bow to the earth,...

34

IV,2,2567

Prithee, good Griffith, tell me how he died:
If well, he stepp'd before me, happily...

35

IV,2,2576

Alas, poor man!

36

IV,2,2591

So may he rest; his faults lie gently on him!
Yet thus far, Griffith, give me leave to speak him,...

37

IV,2,2609

Yes, good Griffith;
I were malicious else.

38

IV,2,2632

After my death I wish no other herald,
No other speaker of my living actions,...

39

IV,2,2664

Spirits of peace, where are ye? are ye all gone,
And leave me here in wretchedness behind ye?

40

IV,2,2667

IV,2,2689

You are a saucy fellow:
Deserve we no more reverence?

44

IV,2,2697

Admit him entrance, Griffith: but this fellow
Let me ne'er see again....

45

IV,2,2705

O, my lord,
The times and titles now are alter'd strangely...

46

IV,2,2715

O my good lord, that comfort comes too late;
'Tis like a pardon after execution:...

47

IV,2,2721

So may he ever do! and ever flourish,
When I shall dwell with worms, and my poor name...

IV,2,2727

Sir, I most humbly pray you to deliver
