The warrant I have of your honourable disposition, not the worth of my untutored lines, makes it assured of acceptance. What I have done is yours; what I have to do is yours; being part in all I have, devoted yours. Were my worth greater, my duty would show greater; meantime, as it is, it is bound to your lordship, to whom I wish long life, still lengthened with all happiness.
Lucius Tarquinius, for his excessive pride surnamed Superbus, after he had caused his own father-in-law Servius Tullius to be cruelly murdered, and, contrary to the Roman laws and customs, not requiring or staying for the people's suffrages, had possessed himself of the kingdom, went, accompanied with his sons and other noblemen of Rome, to besiege Ardea. Chamberlain As far as I see, all the good our English Have got by the late voyage is but merely A fit or two o' the face; but they are shrewd ones; For when they hold 'em, you would swear directly Their very noses had been counsellors To Pepin or Clotharius, they keep state so.
SANDS They have all new legs, and lame ones: one would take it, That never saw 'em pace before, the spavin Or springhalt reign'd among 'em. Chamberlain Death! A street. Enter two Gentlemen, meeting First Gentleman Whither away so fast? Second Gentleman O, God save ye!
Even to the hall, to hear what shall become Of the great Duke of Buckingham. First Gentleman I'll save you That labour, sir. All's now done, but the ceremony Of bringing back the prisoner.
Second Gentleman Were you there? First Gentleman Yes, indeed, was I. Second Gentleman Pray, speak what has happen'd. First Gentleman You may guess quickly what. Second Gentleman Is he found guilty? First Gentleman Yes, truly is he, and condemn'd upon't.
Second Gentleman I am sorry for't. First Gentleman So are a number more. Second Gentleman But, pray, how pass'd it? First Gentleman I'll tell you in a little.
The great duke Came to the bar; where to his accusations He pleaded still not guilty and alleged Many sharp reasons to defeat the law.
The king's attorney on the contrary Urged on the examinations, proofs, confessions Of divers witnesses; which the duke desired To have brought viva voce to his face: At which appear'd against him his surveyor; Sir Gilbert Peck his chancellor; and John Car, Confessor to him; with that devil-monk, Hopkins, that made this mischief.
Second Gentleman That was he That fed him with his prophecies? First Gentleman The same. All these accused him strongly; which he fain Would have flung from him, but, indeed, he could not: And so his peers, upon this evidence, Have found him guilty of high treason. Much He spoke, and learnedly, for life; but all Was either pitied in him or forgotten.
Second Gentleman After all this, how did he bear himself? First Gentleman When he was brought again to the bar, to hear His knell rung out, his judgment, he was stirr'd With such an agony, he sweat extremely, And something spoke in choler, ill, and hasty: But he fell to himself again, and sweetly In all the rest show'd a most noble patience.
Second Gentleman I do not think he fears death. First Gentleman Sure, he does not: He never was so womanish; the cause He may a little grieve at. Second Gentleman Certainly The cardinal is the end of this. First Gentleman 'Tis likely, By all conjectures: first, Kildare's attainder, Then deputy of Ireland; who removed, Earl Surrey was sent thither, and in haste too, Lest he should help his father. Second Gentleman That trick of state Was a deep envious one.
First Gentleman At his return No doubt he will requite it. This is noted, And generally, whoever the king favours, The cardinal instantly will find employment, And far enough from court too.
Second Gentleman All the commons Hate him perniciously, and, o' my conscience, Wish him ten fathom deep: this duke as much They love and dote on; call him bounteous Buckingham, The mirror of all courtesy;-- First Gentleman Stay there, sir, And see the noble ruin'd man you speak of.
Enter Chamberlain, reading a letter Chamberlain 'My lord, the horses your lordship sent for, with all the care I had, I saw well chosen, ridden, and furnished. They were young and handsome, and of the best breed in the north. When they were ready to set out for London, a man of my lord cardinal's, by commission and main power, took 'em from me; with this reason: His master would be served before a subject, if not before the king; which stopped our mouths, sir. Enter ANNE and an Old Lady ANNE Not for that neither: here's the pang that pinches: His highness having lived so long with her, and she So good a lady that no tongue could ever Pronounce dishonour of her; by my life, She never knew harm-doing: O, now, after So many courses of the sun enthroned, Still growing in a majesty and pomp, the which To leave a thousand-fold more bitter than 'Tis sweet at first to acquire,--after this process, To give her the avaunt!
Old Lady Hearts of most hard temper Melt and lament for her. Old Lady Alas, poor lady! She's a stranger now again. Verily, I swear, 'tis better to be lowly born, And range with humble livers in content, Than to be perk'd up in a glistering grief, And wear a golden sorrow.
Old Lady Our content Is our best having. Old Lady Beshrew me, I would, And venture maidenhead for't; and so would you, For all this spice of your hypocrisy: You, that have so fair parts of woman on you, Have too a woman's heart; which ever yet Affected eminence, wealth, sovereignty; Which, to say sooth, are blessings; and which gifts, Saving your mincing, the capacity Of your soft cheveril conscience would receive, If you might please to stretch it.
ANNE Nay, good troth. Old Lady Yes, troth, and troth; you would not be a queen? ANNE No, not for all the riches under heaven. Old Lady: 'Tis strange: a three-pence bow'd would hire me, Old as I am, to queen it: but, I pray you, What think you of a duchess? ANNE No, in truth.
