We thank you Uncle & now must chide you; If we be welcome to your Country, Why is the ancient league now broke betwixt us? Why have your Heralds in the French king's cause. Breathed defiance 'gainst our dignity, When face to face, we met at Landersey? My Heralds to desire your Majesty? Your grace mistakes, we sent Ambassadors To treat a peace between the French and you, Not to defy you as an enemy. Yet Uncle in king Henry's name he came, And boldly to our face did give the same. Hell stop that fatal boding Emperor's throat, That sings against us this dismal raven's note. Mother of God, if this be true, we see, There are more kings in England now then we: Where's Cardinal Woolsey? Heard you this news in France? I did my Liege, and by my means 'twas done, I'll not deny it; I had Commission To join a league between the French and him, Which he withstanding as an enemy. I did defy him from your Majesty. Durst thou presume so, base-born Cardinal, Without our knowledge to abuse our name; Presumptuous traitor, under what pretence Didst thou attempt to brave the Emperor? Belike thou meantst to level at a crown, But thy ambitious crown shall hurl thee down. With reverence to your Majesty, I did no more Than I can answer to the holy sea. villain, thou canst not answer it to me, Nor shadow thy insulting treachery: How durst ye sirrah, in your embassage, Unknown to us stamp in our royal coin The base impression of your Cardinal hat. As if you were copartner in the Crown? Ego & Rex meus: you and your king must be In equal state, and pomp, and Majesty: Out of my presence hateful impudency. Remember my Liege, that I am Cardinal And deputy unto his holiness. Be the devils Deputy, I care not I, I'll not be baffled by your treachery; You're false abusers of religion, You can corrupt it and forbid the King, Upon the penalty of the pope's black curse. If he , Not to suppress an old religious Abbey, Yet you at pleasure have subverted foute, Seizing their lands, tunning up heaps of gold, Secret conveyance of our royal Seal, To raise Collections to enrich thy state, For which sir, we command you leave the Court. We here discharge you of your offices: You that are Caiphas, or great Cardinal, Haste ye with speed unto your Bishopric, There keep you till you hear further from us: Away and speak not. Yet will I proudly pass as Cardinal, Although this day define my heavy fall. I fear king Henry, and my royal Uncle, The Cardinal will curse my progress hither. No matter cousin, beshrew his treacherous heart. has moved my blood to much impatience. Where's will Summers? come on wise, William, We must use your little wits, to chase this Anger from our blood again: What art thou doing?
