Arise, and take place by us: half your suit
|

Lady mine, proceed. |
|
4 |
Taxation!
|
|
5 |
Still exaction!
|
|
6 |
By my life,
|
|
7 |
Things done well,
|
|
8 |
It grieves many:
|
|
9 |
Speak freely. |
|
10 |
Speak on:
|
|
11 |
What was that Hopkins? |
|
12 |
How know'st thou this? |
|
13 |
Let him on.
|
|
14 |
Ha! what, so rank? Ah ha!
|
|
15 |
Proceed. |
|
16 |
I remember
|
|
17 |
A giant traitor! |
|
18 |
There's something more would out of thee; what say'st? |
|
19 |
There's his period,
|
|
20 |
The fairest hand I ever touch'd! O beauty,
|
|
21 |
Ye have found him, cardinal:
|
|
22 |
My lord chamberlain,
|
|
23 |
By heaven, she is a dainty one. Sweetheart,
|
|
24 |
I fear, too much. |
|
25 |
Lead in your ladies, every one: sweet partner,
|
|
26 |
Who's there, ha? |
|
27 |
Who's there, I say? How dare you thrust yourselves
|
|
28 |
Ye are too bold:
|
|
29 |
[To NORFOLK and SUFFOLK]
|
|
30 |
And once more in mine arms I bid him welcome,
|
|
31 |
Two equal men. The queen shall be acquainted
|
|
32 |
Ay, and the best she shall have; and my favour
|
|
33 |
Come hither, Gardiner. |
|
34 |
Deliver this with modesty to the queen.
|
|
35 |
What's the need?
|
|
36 |
Here. |
|
37 |
Call her again. |
|
38 |
Go thy ways, Kate:
|
|
39 |
My lord cardinal,
|
|
40 |
I have spoke long: be pleased yourself to say
|
|
41 |
I then moved you,
|
|
42 |
[Aside]. I may perceive
|
|
43 |
What piles of wealth hath he accumulated
|
|
44 |
It may well be;
|
|
45 |
If we did think
|
|
46 |
Good my lord,
|
|
47 |
You have said well. |
|
48 |
'Tis well said again;
|
|
49 |
Have I not made you,
|
|
50 |
Fairly answer'd;
|
|
51 |
'Tis nobly spoken:
|
|
52 |
Charles, I will play no more tonight;
|
|
53 |
But little, Charles;
|
|
54 |
What say'st thou, ha?
|
|
55 |
Alas, good lady! |
|
56 |
'Tis midnight, Charles;
|
|
57 |
Charles, good night.
|
|
58 |
Ha! Canterbury? |
|
59 |
'Tis true: where is he, Denny? |
|
60 |
Avoid the gallery.
|
|
61 |
How now, my lord! you desire to know
|
|
62 |
Pray you, arise,
|
|
63 |
Stand up, good Canterbury:
|
|
64 |
Know you not
|
|
65 |
Be of good cheer;
|
|
66 |
Now, by thy looks
|
|
67 |
Lovell! |
|
68 |
Give her an hundred marks. I'll to the queen. |
|
69 |
What's that, Butts? |
|
70 |
Body o' me, where is it? |
|
71 |
Ha! 'tis he, indeed:
|
|
72 |
You were ever good at sudden commendations,
|
|
73 |
No, sir, it does not please me.
|
|
74 |
Well, well, my lords, respect him;
|
|
75 |
Come, come, my lord, you'ld spare your spoons: you
|
|
76 |
Good man, those joyful tears show thy true heart:
|
|
77 |
Thank you, good lord archbishop:
|
|
78 |
Stand up, lord.

|
79 |

|
|
80 |

|
81 |
