The king my Lord entreats your reverent grace, There may be had some private conference, Betwixt his highness and your excellence, Before he hear the French Ambassadors, And wils you hasten your repair to him, We will attend his highness presently, Bonner, see all our train be set in readiness, That in our state and pomp pontificial, We may pass on to grace king Henry's court, I have a message from the Queen my Lord, Who much commends, & humbly thanks your grace, For your exceeding love, and zealous prayers, By your directions through all England sent: To invocate for her sound prosperous help, By heavens fair hand in childbed passions. We thank her highness that accepts our love, In all Cathedral Churches through the land, Are Masses, dirges, and Processions sung: With prayers to heaven to bless her Majesty, And send her joy, and quick delivery: And so Sir William do my duty to her, Queen Iane was ever kind and courteous, And always of her subjects honoured. I take my leave my Lord. Adieu good knight we'll follow presently, Now Woolsie work thy wits like gads of steel, And make them pliable to all impressions, That King and Queen and all may honour thee: So toiled not Caesar in the state of Room, As Woolsie labours in the affairs of Kings: As Hannibal with oil did melt the Alps: To make a passage into Italie: So must we bear our high pitched Eminence To dig for glory in the hearts of men. Till we have got the papal diadem: And to this end have I composed this plot, And made a League betweene the French and v And match their Aged King in holy Marriage, With Lady Mary Royal Henry's sister: That he in peace complotting with the Emperor May plead for us within the Courts of Rome: Wherefore was Alexander's fame so great, But that he conquered and deposed Kings, And where doth Woolsie fail to follow him, That thus common death Kings and Emperors, Great England's Lord have I so won with words: That under colour of advising him, I overrule both Counsel, Court, and King: Let him command, but we will execute. Making our glory to outshine his fame Till we have purchased an eternal name. Now Boner, are those proclamations sent As we directed to the sheriffs of London, Of certain new devised Articles, For ordering those brothels called the Stews? They are ready my Lord, and the Shrieve attends for them, Dispatch him quickly, and haste after me; We must attend the Kings high Majesty. Charles Brandon, Dudly, and my good Lord Grey, Prepare yourselves, and be in readiness, To entertain these French Ambassadors, Meet them before our royal Palace Gate: And so conduct them to our Majesty. We mean this day to give them Audience. Grey, We will my Lord. Le tone attend without. And bring us word when they are coming on:
