BULLEN and another lady＇ If I chance to talk a little wild； forgive me； I
had it from my father。 ANNE。 Was he mad； sir？ SANDYS。 O； very mad；
exceeding mad； in love too。 But he would bite none； just as I do now； He
would kiss you twenty with a breath。 ＇Kisses her＇ CHAMBERLAIN。 Well
said； my lord。 So； now y'are fairly seated。 Gentlemen； The penance lies on
you if these fair ladies Pass away frowning。 SANDYS。 For my little cure；

Let me alone。
Hautboys。 Enter CARDINAL WOLSEY； attended； and takes his state
WOLSEY。 Y'are welcome； my fair guests。 That noble lady Or
gentleman that is not freely merry Is not my friend。 This； to confirm my
welcome And to you all； good health！ ＇Drinks＇ SANDYS。 Your Grace is
noble。 Let me have such a bowl may hold my thanks And save me so
much talking。 WOLSEY。 My Lord Sandys； I am beholding to you。 Cheer
your neighbours。 Ladies； you are not merry。 Gentlemen； Whose fault is
this？ SANDYS。 The red wine first must rise In their fair cheeks； my lord；
then we shall have 'em Talk us to silence。 ANNE。 You are a merry
gamester； My Lord Sandys。 SANDYS。 Yes； if I make my play。 Here's to
your ladyship； and pledge it； madam； For 'tis to such a thing ANNE。 You
cannot show me。 SANDYS。 I told your Grace they would talk anon。
＇Drum and trumpet。 Chambers discharg'd＇ WOLSEY。 What's that？
CHAMBERLAIN。 Look out there； some of ye。 Exit a SERVANT
WOLSEY。 What warlike voice； And to what end； is this？ Nay； ladies； fear
not： By all the laws of war y'are privileg'd。
Re…enter SERVANT
CHAMBERLAIN。 How now！ what is't？ SERVANT。 A noble troop of
strangers For so they seem。 Th' have left their barge and landed； And
hither make； as great ambassadors From foreign princes。 WOLSEY。 Good
Lord Chamberlain； Go； give 'em welcome； you can speak the French
tongue； And pray receive 'em nobly and conduct 'em Into our presence；
where this heaven of beauty Shall shine at full upon them。 Some attend
him。 Exit CHAMBERLAIN attended。 All rise； and tables remov'd You
have now a broken banquet； but we'll mend it。 A good digestion to you all；
and once more I show'r a welcome on ye； welcome all。
Hautboys。 Enter the KING； and others； as maskers； habited like
shepherds； usher'd by the LORD CHAMBERLAIN。 They pass directly
before the CARDINAL； and gracefully salute him
A noble company！ What are their pleasures？ CHAMBERLAIN。
Because they speak no English； thus they pray'd To tell your Grace； that；
having heard by fame Of this so noble and so fair assembly This night to
meet here； they could do no less； Out of the great respect they bear to

beauty； But leave their flocks and； under your fair conduct； Crave leave to
view these ladies and entreat An hour of revels with 'em。 WOLSEY。 Say；
Lord Chamberlain； They have done my poor house grace； for which I pay
'em A thousand thanks； and pray 'em take their pleasures。 ＇They choose
ladies。 The KING chooses ANNE BULLEN＇ KING。 The fairest hand I
ever touch'd！ O beauty； Till now I never knew thee！ ＇Music。 Dance＇
WOLSEY。 My lord！ CHAMBERLAIN。 Your Grace？ WOLSEY。 Pray tell
'em thus much from me： There should be one amongst 'em； by his person；
More worthy this place than myself； to whom； If I but knew him； with my
love and duty I would surrender it。 CHAMBERLAIN。 I will； my lord。 ＇He
whispers to the maskers＇ WOLSEY。 What say they？ CHAMBERLAIN。
Such a one； they all confess； There is indeed； which they would have your
Grace Find out； and he will take it。 WOLSEY。 Let me see； then。 ＇Comes
from his state＇ By all your good leaves； gentlemen； here I'll make My
royal choice。 KING。 ＇Unmasking＇ Ye have found him； Cardinal。 You hold
a fair assembly； you do well； lord。 You are a churchman； or； I'll tell you；
Cardinal； I should judge now unhappily。 WOLSEY。 I am glad Your Grace
is grown so pleasant。 KING。 My Lord Chamberlain； Prithee come hither：
what fair lady's that？ CHAMBERLAIN。 An't please your Grace； Sir
Thomas Bullen's daughter The Viscount Rochfordone of her Highness'
women。 KING。 By heaven； she is a dainty one。 Sweet heart； I were
unmannerly to take you out And not to kiss you。 A health； gentlemen！ Let
it go round。 WOLSEY。 Sir Thomas Lovell； is the banquet ready I' th' privy
chamber？ LOVELL。 Yes； my lord。 WOLSEY。 Your Grace； I fear； with
dancing is a little heated。 KING。 I fear； too much。 WOLSEY。 There's
fresher air； my lord； In the next chamber。 KING。 Lead in your ladies； ev'ry
one。 Sweet partner； I must not yet forsake you。 Let's be merry： Good my
Lord Cardinal； I have half a dozen healths To drink to these fair ladies； and
a measure To lead 'em once again； and then let's dream Who's best in
favour。 Let the music knock it。 Exeunt； with trumpets

KING HENRY THE EIGHTH
ACT II。 SCENE 1。
Westminster。 A street
Enter two GENTLEMEN； at several doors
FIRST GENTLEMAN。 Whither away so fast？ SECOND
GENTLEMAN。 O； God save ye！ Ev'n to the Hall； to hear what shall
become Of the great Duke of Buckingham。 FIRST GENTLEMAN。 I'll
save you That labour； sir。 All's now done but the ceremony Of bringing
back the prisoner。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 Were you there？ FIRST
GENTLEMAN。 Yes； indeed； was I。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 Pray； speak
what has happen'd。 FIRST GENTLEMAN。 You may guess quickly what。
SECOND GENTLEMAN。 Is he found guilty？ FIRST GENTLEMAN。 Yes；
truly is he； and condemn'd upon't。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 I am sorry
for't。 FIRST GENTLEMAN。 So are a number more。 SECOND
GENTLEMAN。 But； pray； how pass'd it？ FIRST GENTLEMAN。 I'll tell
you in a little。 The great Duke。 Came to the bar； where to his accusations
He pleaded still not guilty； and alleged Many sharp reasons to defeat the
law。 The King's attorney； on the contrary； Urg'd on the examinations；
proofs； confessions； Of divers witnesses； which the Duke desir'd To have
brought； viva voce； to his face； At which appear'd against him his surveyor；
Sir Gilbert Peck his chancellor； and John Car； Confessor to him； with that
devil…monk； Hopkins； that made this mischief。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。
That was he That fed him with his prophecies？ FIRST GENTLEMAN。
The same。 All these accus'd him strongly； which he fain Would have flung
from him； but indeed he could not； And so his peers； upon this evidence；
Have found him guilty of high treason。 Much He spoke； and learnedly； for
life； but all Was either pitied in him or forgotten。 SECOND
GENTLEMAN。 After all this； how did he bear him…self FIRST
GENTLEMAN。 When he was brought again to th' bar to hear His knell
rung out； his judgment； he was stirr'd With such an agony he sweat
extremely； And something spoke in choler； ill and hasty； But he fell to
himself again； and sweetly In all the rest show'd a most noble p
