Your Lords mad, till he be at the wedding, 'twas marvel the King stole it so secretly and near told him on't, but all's one, if he be married, let him play with his Queen tonight, and than tomorrow he'll call for me, there's no fool tooth wilful still. What shall we do cousen? I'll go get the key of the wine-cellar, and thou and I'll keep a passage there tonight. We have but a little wit between us already cousen, and so we should have none at all. When our wits be gone, we'll sleep eth cellar, and lie without our wits for one night. Content, and then eth morning we'll but wet them with another cup more, and they'll shave like a razor all day after. Come close good coz, let nobody go with us, lest they be drunk before us, for fools are innocents, and must be accessary to no man's overthrow. Welcome Queen Katherine, seat thee by our side, Thy sight fair Queen, by us thus dignified, Earls, barons, Knights, and Gentlemen, Against ye all, we'll be chief challenger, To fight at barriers, Tilt, and Tournament, In honour of the fair Queen Katherine, We thank your highness, and beseech your grace, Forbear such hazard of your royal person, Without such honours is your handmaid pleased, Obediently to yield all love and duty, That may beseem your sacred Majesty. God a mercy, but where are our children? Prince Edward, Mary, and Elizabeth, The royal Issue of three famous Queens, How haps we have not seen them here today? They all my Liege attend your majesty, And your fair queen, so within the presence here. 'tis well, Dudlie call Cranmer in, He is chief Tutor to our Princely son, For precepts that concern divinity. And here he comes, Cranmer, you must ply the Prince, Let his waste hours be spent in getting learning: And let those linguists for choice languages, Be careful for him in their best endeavours, Bid Doctor Tie, ply him to Music hard, he's apt to learn, therefore be diligent, He may requite your love when we are gone. Our care and duty shall be had my Lord. We thank ye. I tell thee Cranmer he is all our hopes, That what our age shall leave unfinished, In his fair reign shall be accomplished. Go and attend him, how now Will Sommers, what's the news with you? I come to bid thee and thy new Queen God-morrow. Look to him Kate lest he cozen thee, provide civil Oranges enough, or he'll have a Lemon shortly. Godamercy Will, thou tell me then, wilt thou not? I and watch him too, or let him near trust me: but dost hear Harry, because I'd have thee have the poors prayers, I have brought thee some petitions, the Friars and Priests pray too, but I think us as children say grace, more for fashion than devotion, therefore the poors' prayers ought to be soonest heard, because they beg for Godsake, therefore I prithee dispatch them.
