I know not how rare it is, but I know how dear 'twill be, for I perceive 'twill cost thee twelve thousand' pounds, at least, besides the Cardinals cost in coming. All these nothing; the title of defender of the faith is worth ye, twice as much, say, is it not. No by my troth, dost hear old Harry; I am sure, the true faith is able to defend itself without thee, and as for the pope's faith (good faith's) not worth a farthing, and therefore give him not a penny. Go to sirrah meddle not you with the pope's matters: Let him not meddle with thy matters then, for, and he meddle with thee, He middle with him that's certain and so farewell, I'll go and meet my little young Master Prince Edward, they say he comes to Court tonight, I'll to horseback, Prithee Harry send one to hold my stirrup: shall I tell the Prince what the Pope has done. I and thou wilt Will, he shall be defender of the faith too, one day. No, and he and I can defend ourselves we care not, For we are sure the faith can. Lord legate, so we reverence Rome and you, As nothing you demand, shall be denied: The Turk will we expel from Christendom, Sending stout soldiers to his holiness, And money to relieve distressed Rhodes: So if you please, pass in to banqueting, Go Lords attend them, Brandon and Compton stay, We have some business to confer upon. We take our leave. Most hearty welcome to my reverent Lords. So, now to our business, Brandon say, Hear ye no tidings from our sister Mary, Since her arrival in the Realm of France? Thus much we heard my Lord, at Cales met her The youthful Dolphin, and the Peers of France: And bravely brought her to the King at Towers, Where he both married her, and crowned her Queen 'tis well, but Brandon and Compion list to me, I must employ your aid and secrecy, This night we mean in some disguised shape; To visit London, and to walk the round, Pass through their watches, and observe the care And special diligence to keep our peace. They say night-walkers, hourly pass the streets, Committing theft, and hated sacrilege: And slightly pass unstaid, or unpunished, Go Compton, go, and get me some disguise, This night we'll see our City's government: Brandon, do you attend at Baynard's. Castio, Compton shall go disguised along with me, Our swords and bucklers shall conduct us safe, But if we catch a knock to quit our pain, we'll put it up, and buy us home again. Come neighbours, we have a straight command. Our watches be severely looked into: Much theft and murder was committed lately, There are two strangers, merchants of the Stillyard Cruelly slain, found floating on the Thames: And greatly are Stews had in suspect, As places fitting for no better use, Therefore be careful and examine all, Perhaps we may attach the murderer.
