	'Twixt Guynes and Arde:
	I was then present, saw them salute on horseback;
	Beheld them, when they lighted, how they clung
	In their embracement, as they grew together;
	Which had they, what four thron'd ones could have weigh'd
	Such a compounded one?

	Then you lost
	The view of earthly glory: men might say,
	Till this time, pomp was single, but now married
	To one above itself. Each following day
	Became the next day's master, till the last
	Made former wonders its. To-day the French
	All clinquant, all in gold, like heathen gods,
	Shone down the English; and to-morrow they
	Made Britain India: every man that stood
	Show'd like a mine. Their dwarfish pages were
	As cherubins, all gilt: the madams, too,
	Not us'd to toil, did almost sweat to bear
	The pride upon them, that their very labour
	Was to them as a painting. Now this masque
	Was cried incomparable; and the ensuing night
	Made it a fool, and beggar. The two kings,
	Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst,
	As presence did present them; him in eye,
	Still him in praise; and, being present both,
	'Twas said they saw but one; and no discerner
	Durst wag his tongue in censure. When these suns
	For so they phrase 'emby their heralds challeng'd
	The noble spirits to arms, they did perform
	Beyond thought's compass; that former fabulous story,
	Being now seen possible enough, got credit,
	That Bevis was believ'd.

	As I belong to worship, and affect

	Would by a good discourser lose some life,

	Order gave each thing view; the office did
	Distinctly his full function.

	All this was order'd by the good discretion

<SPEECH 7><ACT 1><SCENE 1><3%>
<NORFOLK>	<3%>
	Surely, sir,
	There's in him stuff that puts him to these ends;
	For, being not propp'd by ancestry, whose grace
	Chalks successors their way, nor call'd upon
	For high feats done to the crown; neither allied
	To eminent assistants; but, spider-like,
	Out of his self-drawing web, he gives us note,
	The force of his own merit makes his way;
	A gift that heaven gives for him, which buys
	A place next to the king.

	Like it your Grace,
	The state takes notice of the private difference
	Betwixt you and the cardinal. I advise you,
	And take it from a heart that wishes towards you
	Honour and plenteous safety,that you read
	The cardinal's malice and his potency
	Together; to consider further that
	What his high hatred would effect wants not
	A minister in his power. You know his nature,
	That he's revengeful; and I know his sword
	Hath a sharp edge: it's long, and 't may be said,
	It reaches far; and where 'twill not extend,
	Thither he darts it. Bosom up my counsel,
	You'll find it wholesome. Lo where comes that rock
	That I advise your shunning.

<SPEECH 13><ACT 1><SCENE 1><5%>
<NORFOLK>	<6%>
	Stay, my lord,
	And let your reason with your choler question
	What 'tis you go about. To climb steep hills
	Requires slow pace at first: anger is like
	A full-hot horse, who being allow'd his way,
	Self-mettle tires him. Not a man in England
	Can advise me like you: be to yourself
	As you would to your friend.
</NORFOLK>

<SPEECH 14><ACT 1><SCENE 1><5%>
<NORFOLK>	<6%>
	Be advis'd;
	Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot
	That it do singe yourself. We may outrun
	By violent swiftness that which we run at,
	And lose by overrunning. Know you not,
	The fire that mounts the liquor till it run o'er,
	In seeming to augment it wastes it? Be advis'd:
	I say again, there is no English soul
	More stronger to direct you than yourself,
	If with the sap of reason you would quench,
	Or but allay, the fire of passion.

<SPEECH 20><ACT 2><SCENE 2><29%>

	What's the cause?
</NORFOLK>

<SPEECH 21><ACT 2><SCENE 2><29%>
<NORFOLK>	<30%>
	'Tis so:
	This is the cardinal's doing, the king-cardinal:
	That blind priest, like the eldest son of Fortune,
	Turns what he list. The king will know him one day.
</NORFOLK>

<SPEECH 22><ACT 2><SCENE 2><30%>
<NORFOLK>	<30%>
	How holily he works in all his business,
	And with what zeal! for, now he has crack'd the league
	Between us and the emperor, the queen's great nephew,
	He dives into the king's soul, and there scatters
	Dangers, doubts, wringing of the conscience,
	Fears, and despairs; and all these for his marriage:
	And out of all these, to restore the king,
	He counsels a divorce; a loss of her,
	That like a jewel has hung twenty years
	About his neck, yet never lost her lustre;
	Of her, that loves him with that excellence
	That angels love good men with; even of her,
	That, when the greatest stroke of fortune falls,
	Will bless the king: and is not this course pious?
</NORFOLK>

<SPEECH 23><ACT 2><SCENE 2><30%>
<NORFOLK>	<31%>
	We had need pray,
	And heartily, for our deliverance;
	Or this imperious man will work us all
	From princes into pages. All men's honours
	Lie like one lump before him, to be fashion'd
	Into what pitch he please.
</NORFOLK>

<SPEECH 24><ACT 2><SCENE 2><31%>
<NORFOLK>	<31%>
	Let's in;
	And with some other business put the king
	From these sad thoughts, that work too much upon him.
	My lord, you'll bear us company?

	If you will now unite in your complaints,

	O! fear him not;

<SPEECH 41><ACT 3><SCENE 2><56%>
<NORFOLK>	<56%>
	My lord, we have
	Stood here observing him; some strange commotion
	Is in his brain: he bites his lip, and starts;
	Stops on a sudden, looks upon the ground,
	Then lays his finger on his temple; straight
	Springs out into fast gait; then stops again,
	Strikes his breast hard; and anon he casts
	His eye against the moon: in most strange postures
	We have seen him set himself.

<SPEECH 42><ACT 3><SCENE 2><56%>

	Hear the king's pleasure, cardinal: who commands you

<SPEECH 44><ACT 3><SCENE 2><62%>

	Then, that in all you writ to Rome, or else

<SPEECH 46><ACT 3><SCENE 2><63%>
<NORFOLK>	<64%>
	And so we'll leave you to your meditations
