or else To foreign princes�察�'Ego et Rex meus' Was still inscrib'd�察�in which
you brought the King To be your servant。 SUFFOLK。 Then�察�that without
the knowledge Either of King or Council�察�when you went Ambassador to
the Emperor�察 �you made bold To carry into Flanders the great seal。
SURREY。 Item�察�you sent a large commission To Gregory de Cassado�察�to
conclude�察 �Without the King's will or the state's allowance�察 �A league
between his Highness and Ferrara。 SUFFOLK。 That out of mere ambition
you have caus'd Your holy hat to be stamp'd on the King's coin。 SURREY。
Then�察 �that you have sent innumerable substance�察 �By what means got I
leave to your own conscience�察�To furnish Rome and to prepare the ways
You have for dignities�察 �to the mere undoing Of all the kingdom。 Many
more there are�察�Which�察�since they are of you�察�and odious�察�I will not taint
my mouth with。 CHAMBERLAIN。 O my lord�察�Press not a falling man too
far� �'Tis virtue。 His faults lie open to the laws�察�let them�察�Not you�察�correct
him。 My heart weeps to see him So little of his great self。 SURREY。 I
forgive him。 SUFFOLK。 Lord Cardinal�察 �the King's further pleasure is
Because all those things you have done of late�察 �By your power legatine
within this kingdom�察�Fall into th' compass of a praemunire That therefore
such a writ be sued against you�此�To forfeit all your goods�察�lands�察�tenements�察�
Chattels�察�and whatsoever�察�and to be Out of the King's protection。 This is
my charge。 NORFOLK。 And so we'll leave you to your meditations How

to live better。 For your stubborn answer About the giving back the great
seal to us�察�The King shall know it�察�and�察�no doubt�察�shall thank you。 So fare
you well�察 �my little good Lord Cardinal。 Exeunt all but WOLSEY
WOLSEY。 So farewell to the little good you bear me。 Farewell�察 �a long
farewell�察�to all my greatness� �This is the state of man�此�to´day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hopes�察�to´morrow blossoms And bears his blushing
honours thick upon him�察�The third day comes a frost�察�a killing frost�察�And
when he thinks�察 �good easy man�察 �full surely His greatness is a´ripening�察�
nips his root�察�And then he falls�察�as I do。 I have ventur'd�察�Like little wanton
boys that swim on bladders�察�This many summers in a sea of glory�察�But far
beyond my depth。 My high´blown pride At length broke under me�察 �and
now has left me�察 �Weary and old with service�察 �to the mercy Of a rude
stream�察�that must for ever hide me。 Vain pomp and glory of this world�察�I
hate ye�察�I feel my heart new open'd。 O�察�how wretched Is that poor man that
hangs on princes' favours� �There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to�察�
That sweet aspect of princes�察 �and their ruin More pangs and fears than
wars or women have�察�And when he falls�察 �he falls like Lucifer�察 �Never to
hope again。
Enter CROMWELL�察�standing amazed
Why�察�how now�察�Cromwell� �CROMWELL。 I have no power to speak�察�
sir。 WOLSEY。 What�察�amaz'd At my misfortunes�拭�Can thy spirit wonder A
great man should decline�拭 �Nay�察 �an you weep�察 �I am fall'n indeed。
CROMWELL。 How does your Grace�拭 �WOLSEY。 Why�察 �well�察 �Never so
truly happy�察�my good Cromwell。 I know myself now�察�and I feel within me
A peace above all earthly dignities�察�A still and quiet conscience。 The King
has cur'd me�察�I humbly thank his Grace�察�and from these shoulders�察�These
ruin'd pillars�察 �out of pity�察 �taken A load would sink a navytoo much
honour。 O�察�'tis a burden�察�Cromwell�察�'tis a burden Too heavy for a man that
hopes for heaven� �CROMWELL。 I am glad your Grace has made that
right use of it。 WOLSEY。 I hope I have。 I am able now�察�methinks�察�Out of a
fortitude of soul I feel�察�To endure more miseries and greater far Than my
weak´hearted enemies dare offer。 What news abroad�拭�CROMWELL。 The
heaviest and the worst Is your displeasure with the King。 WOLSEY。 God
bless him� �CROMWELL。 The next is that Sir Thomas More is chosen

KING HENRY THE EIGHTH
Lord Chancellor in your place。 WOLSEY。 That's somewhat sudden。 But
he's a learned man。 May he continue Long in his Highness' favour�察�and do
justice For truth's sake and his conscience�察�that his bones When he has run
his course and sleeps in blessings�察�May have a tomb of orphans' tears wept
on him� �What more�拭 �CROMWELL。 That Cranmer is return'd with
welcome�察�Install'd Lord Archbishop of Canterbury。 WOLSEY。 That's news
indeed。 CROMWELL。 Last�察�that the Lady Anne�察�Whom the King hath in
secrecy long married�察�This day was view'd in open as his queen�察�Going to
chapel�察�and the voice is now Only about her coronation。 WOLSEY。 There
was the weight that pull'd me down。 O Cromwell�察 �The King has gone
beyond me。 All my glories In that one woman I have lost for ever。 No sun
shall ever usher forth mine honours�察 �Or gild again the noble troops that
waited Upon my smiles。 Go get thee from me�察 �Cromwell�察 �I am a poor
fall'n man�察�unworthy now To be thy lord and master。 Seek the King�察�That
sun�察�I pray�察�may never set� �I have told him What and how true thou art。 He
will advance thee�察 �Some little memory of me will stir him I know his
noble naturenot to let Thy hopeful service perish too。 Good Cromwell�察�
Neglect him not�察�make use now�察�and provide For thine own future safety。
CROMWELL。 O my lord�察�Must I then leave you�拭�Must I needs forgo So
good�察�so noble�察�and so true a master�拭�Bear witness�察�all that have not hearts
of iron�察�With what a sorrow Cromwell leaves his lord。 The King shall have
my service�察 �but my prayers For ever and for ever shall be yours。
WOLSEY。 Cromwell�察�I did not think to shed a tear In all my miseries�察�but
thou hast forc'd me�察�Out of thy honest truth�察�to play the woman。 Let's dry
our eyes�察�and thus far hear me�察�Cromwell�察�And when I am forgotten�察�as I
shall be�察�And sleep in dull cold marble�察 �where no mention Of me more
must be heard of�察�say I taught thee Say Wolsey�察�that once trod the ways
of glory�察�And sounded all the depths and shoals of honour�察�Found thee a
way�察�out of his wreck�察�to rise in A sure and safe one�察�though thy master
miss'd it。 Mark but my fall and that that ruin'd me。 Cromwell�察�I charge thee�察�
fling away ambition�此�By that sin fell the angels。 How can man then�察�The
image of his Maker�察 �hope to win by it�拭 �Love thyself last�察 �cherish those
hearts that hate thee�察�Corruption wins not more than honesty。 Still in thy
right hand carry gentle peace To silence envious tongues。 Be just�察�and fear

not�察�Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's�察�Thy God's�察�and truth's�察�
then�察�if thou fall'st�察�O Cromwell�察�Thou fall'st a blessed martyr� �Serve the
King�察�andprithee lead me in。 There take an inventory of all I have To the
last penny�察�'tis the King's。 My robe�察�And my integrity to heaven�察�is all I
dare now call mine own。 O Cromwell�察 �Cromwell� �Had I but serv'd my
God with half the zeal I serv'd my King�察�he would not in mine age Have
left me naked to mine enemies。 CROMWELL。 Good sir�察 �have patience。
WOLSEY。 So I have。 Farewell The hopes of court� �My hopes in heaven do
dwell。 Exeunt
