past my patience。 Pray you pass on。 I will not tarry�察 �no�察 �nor ever more
Upon this business my appearance make In any of their courts。 Exeunt
QUEEN and her attendants KING。 Go thy ways�察 �Kate。 That man i' th'
world who shall report he has A better wife�察�let him in nought be trusted
For speaking false in that。 Thou art�察 �alone If thy rare qualities�察 �sweet

nobility she has Carried herself towards me。 WOLSEY。 Most gracious sir�察�
In humblest manner I require your Highness That it shall please you to
declare in hearing Of all these earsfor where I am robb'd and bound�察�
There must I be unloos'd�察�although not there At once and fully satisfied
whether ever I Did broach this business to your Highness�察 �or Laid any
scruple in your way which might Induce you to the question on't�察�or ever
Have to you�察�but with thanks to God for such A royal lady�察�spake one the
least word that might Be to the prejudice of her present state�察�Or touch of
her good person�拭 �KING。 My Lord Cardinal�察�I do excuse you�察�yea�察 �upon
mine honour�察 �I free you from't。 You are not to be taught That you have
many enemies that know not Why they are so�察 �but�察 �like to village curs�察�
Bark when their fellows do。 By some of these The Queen is put in anger。
Y'are excus'd。 But will you be more justified�拭�You ever Have wish'd the
sleeping of this business�察�never desir'd It to be stirr'd�察�but oft have hind'red�察�
oft�察�The passages made toward it。 On my honour�察�I speak my good Lord
Cardinal to this point�察�And thus far clear him。 Now�察�what mov'd me to't�察�I
will be bold with time and your attention。 Then mark th' inducement。 Thus
it camegive heed to't�此�My conscience first receiv'd a tenderness�察�Scruple�察�
and prick�察 �on certain speeches utter'd By th' Bishop of Bayonne�察 �then
French ambassador�察�Who had been hither sent on the debating A marriage
'twixt the Duke of Orleans and Our daughter Mary。 I' th' progress of this
business�察�Ere a determinate resolution�察�he I mean the Bishop´did require
a respite Wherein he might the King his lord advertise Whether our
daughter were legitimate�察�Respecting this our marriage with the dowager�察�
Sometimes our brother's wife。 This respite shook The bosom of my
conscience�察�enter'd me�察�Yea�察�with a splitting power�察�and made to tremble

KING HENRY THE EIGHTH
The region of my breast�察 �which forc'd such way That many maz'd
considerings did throng And press'd in with this caution。 First�察�methought I
stood not in the smile of heaven�察 �who had Commanded nature that my
lady's womb�察 �If it conceiv'd a male child by me�察 �should Do no more
offices of life to't than The grave does to the dead�察�for her male issue Or
died where they were made�察 �or shortly after This world had air'd them。
Hence I took a thought This was a judgment on me�察 �that my kingdom�察�
Well worthy the best heir o' th' world�察�should not Be gladded in't by me。
Then follows that I weigh'd the danger which my realms stood in By this
my issue's fail�察�and that gave to me Many a groaning throe。 Thus hulling in
The wild sea of my conscience�察�I did steer Toward this remedy�察�whereupon
we are Now present here together�察 �that's to say I meant to rectify my
conscience�察 �which I then did feel full sick�察 �and yet not well�察 �By all the
reverend fathers of the land And doctors learn'd。 First�察�I began in private
With you�察�my Lord of Lincoln�察�you remember How under my oppression I
did reek�察�When I first mov'd you。 LINCOLN。 Very well�察�my liege。 KING。 I
have spoke long�察 �be pleas'd yourself to say How far you satisfied me。
LINCOLN。 So please your Highness�察�The question did at first so stagger
me Bearing a state of mighty moment in't And consequence of dread
that I committed The daring'st counsel which I had to doubt�察 �And did
entreat your Highness to this course Which you are running here。 KING。 I
then mov'd you�察�My Lord of Canterbury�察�and got your leave To make this
present summons。 Unsolicited I left no reverend person in this court�察�But
by particular consent proceeded Under your hands and seals�察�therefore�察�go
on�察�For no dislike i' th' world against the person Of the good Queen�察�but
the sharp thorny points Of my alleged reasons�察�drives this forward。 Prove
but our marriage lawful�察�by my life And kingly dignity�察�we are contented
To wear our moral state to come with her�察�Katharine our queen�察�before the
primest creature That's paragon'd o' th' world。 CAMPEIUS。 So please your
Highness�察�The Queen being absent�察�'tis a needful fitness That we adjourn
this court till further day�察�Meanwhile must be an earnest motion Made to
the Queen to call back her appeal She intends unto his Holiness。 KING。
��Aside�А �I may perceive These cardinals trifle with me。 I abhor This
dilatory sloth and tricks of Rome。 My learn'd and well´beloved servant�察�

SONG
Orpheus with his lute made trees�察�And the mountain tops that freeze�察�
Bow themselves when he did sing�察�To his music plants and flowers Ever
sprung�察�as sun and showers There had made a lasting spring。
Every thing that heard him play�察�Even the billows of the sea�察�Hung
their heads and then lay by。 In sweet music is such art�察�Killing care and
grief of heart Fall asleep or hearing die。

KATHARINE。 O�察�good my lord�察�no Latin� �I am not such a truant since my

counsel。 QUEEN KATHARINE。 ��Aside�А �To betray me。 My lords�察 �I

weight�察�so near mine honour�察�More near my life�察�I fear�察�with my weak wit
