Henry VIII
[I, 2]

Queen Katharine

515

If I know you well,
You were the duke's surveyor, and lost your office
On the complaint o' the tenants: take good heed
You charge not in your spleen a noble person
And spoil your nobler soul: I say, take heed;
Yes, heartily beseech you.

Henry VIII
[I, 4]

Lord Sands

720

Yes, if I make my play.
Here's to your ladyship: and pledge it, madam,
For 'tis to such a thing,—

Sir Thomas Lovell

801

Yes, my lord.

Henry VIII
[II, 1]

First Gentleman

823

Yes, indeed, was I.

5

Henry VIII
[II, 1]

First Gentleman

827

Yes, truly is he, and condemn'd upon't.

6

Henry VIII
[II, 1]

First Gentleman

991

Yes, but it held not:
For when the king once heard it, out of anger
He sent command to the lord mayor straight
To stop the rumor, and allay those tongues
That durst disperse it.

7

Henry VIII
[II, 2]

Cardinal Wolsey

1173

Yes, he was.

8

Henry VIII
[II, 2]

Cardinal Wolsey

1175

Yes, surely.

9

Henry VIII
[II, 3]

Old Lady

1242

Yes, troth, and troth; you would not be a queen?

10

Henry VIII
[III, 2]

Earl of Surrey

2180

Yes, that goodness
Of gleaning all the land's wealth into one,
Into your own hands, cardinal, by extortion;
The goodness of your intercepted packets
You writ to the pope against the king: your goodness,
Since you provoke me, shall be most notorious.
My Lord of Norfolk, as you are truly noble,
As you respect the common good, the state
Of our despised nobility, our issues,
Who, if he live, will scarce be gentlemen,
Produce the grand sum of his sins, the articles
Collected from his life. I'll startle you
Worse than the scaring bell, when the brown wench
Lay kissing in your arms, lord cardinal.

11

Henry VIII
[IV, 1]

First Gentleman

2395

Yes; 'tis the list
Of those that claim their offices this day
By custom of the coronation.
The Duke of Suffolk is the first, and claims
To be high-steward; next, the Duke of Norfolk,
He to be earl marshal: you may read the rest.

12

Henry VIII
[IV, 1]

First Gentleman

2460

Yes;

13

Henry VIII
[IV, 1]

Third Gentleman

2549

Yes, without all doubt.
Come, gentlemen, ye shall go my way, which
Is to the court, and there ye shall be my guests:
Something I can command. As I walk thither,
I'll tell ye more.

14

Henry VIII
[IV, 2]

Griffith

2565

Yes, madam; but I think your grace,
Out of the pain you suffer'd, gave no ear to't.

15

Henry VIII
[IV, 2]

Queen Katharine

2609

Yes, good Griffith;
I were malicious else.

16

Henry VIII
[V, 1]

Gardiner

2824

Yes, yes, Sir Thomas,
There are that dare; and I myself have ventured
To speak my mind of him: and indeed this day,
Sir, I may tell it you, I think I have
Incensed the lords o' the council, that he is,
For so I know he is, they know he is,
A most arch heretic, a pestilence
That does infect the land: with which they moved
Have broken with the king; who hath so far
Given ear to our complaint, of his great grace
And princely care foreseeing those fell mischiefs
Our reasons laid before him, hath commanded
To-morrow morning to the council-board
He be convented. He's a rank weed, Sir Thomas,
And we must root him out. From your affairs
I hinder you too long: good night, Sir Thomas.

But yet I cannot help you.

Gardiner
