KING HENRY THE EIGHTH
God save you�察 �sir� �Where have you been broiling�拭 �THIRD
GENTLEMAN。 Among the crowds i' th' Abbey�察�where a finger Could not
be wedg'd in more�察 �I am stifled With the mere rankness of their joy。
SECOND GENTLEMAN。 You saw The ceremony�拭 �THIRD
GENTLEMAN。 That I did。 FIRST GENTLEMAN。 How was it�拭�THIRD
GENTLEMAN。 Well worth the seeing。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 Good
sir�察�speak it to us。 THIRD GENTLEMAN。 As well as I am able。 The rich
stream Of lords and ladies�察�having brought the Queen To a prepar'd place
in the choir�察�fell off A distance from her�察�while her Grace sat down To rest
awhile�察�some half an hour or so�察�In a rich chair of state�察�opposing freely
The beauty of her person to the people。 Believe me�察 �sir�察 �she is the
goodliest woman That ever lay by man�察�which when the people Had the
full view of�察 �such a noise arose As the shrouds make at sea in a stiff
tempest�察�As loud�察�and to as many tunes�察�hats�察�cloaks Doublets�察�I think
flew up�察�and had their faces Been loose�察�this day they had been lost。 Such
joy I never saw before。 Great´bellied women�察�That had not half a week to
go�察�like rams In the old time of war�察�would shake the press�察�And make 'em
reel before 'em。 No man living Could say 'This is my wife' there�察�all were
woven So strangely in one piece。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 But what
follow'd�拭 �THIRD GENTLEMAN。 At length her Grace rose�察 �and with
modest paces Came to the altar�察�where she kneel'd�察�and saintlike Cast her
fair eyes to heaven�察�and pray'd devoutly。 Then rose again�察�and bow'd her to
the people�察�When by the Archbishop of Canterbury She had all the royal
makings of a queen�此�As holy oil�察�Edward Confessor's crown�察�The rod�察�and
bird of peace�察�and all such emblems Laid nobly on her�察�which perform'd�察�
the choir�察�With all the choicest music of the kingdom�察�Together sung 'Te
Deum。' So she parted�察�And with the same full state pac'd back again To
York Place�察�where the feast is held。 FIRST GENTLEMAN。 Sir�察�You must
no more call it York Place�此�that's past�此�For since the Cardinal fell that title's
lost。 'Tis now the King's�察�and called Whitehall。 THIRD GENTLEMAN。 I
know it�察 �But 'tis so lately alter'd that the old name Is fresh about me。
SECOND GENTLEMAN。 What two reverend bishops Were those that
went on each side of the Queen�拭 �THIRD GENTLEMAN。 Stokesly and

The other�察 �London。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 He of Winchester Is held
no great good lover of the Archbishop's�察 �The virtuous Cranmer。 THIRD
GENTLEMAN。 All the land knows that�察 �However�察 �yet there is no great
breach。 When it comes�察 �Cranmer will find a friend will not shrink from
him。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 Who may that be�察 �I pray you�拭 �THIRD
GENTLEMAN。 Thomas Cromwell�察�A man in much esteem with th' King�察�
and truly A worthy friend。 The King has made him Master O' th' jewel
House�察�And one�察�already�察�of the Privy Council。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。

shall be my guests�此�Something I can command。 As I walk thither�察�I'll tell
ye more。 BOTH。 You may command us�察�sir。 Exeunt
