Albones we doe make returne,
Wee'le see these things effected to the full.
[345]
Here
Hume, take this reward, make merry man
With thy Confederates in this weightie cause.Exit Elianor.Hume.Hume must make merry with the Duchesse Gold:
Marry and Shall: but how now, Sir
Iohn Hume?Seale vp your Lips, and giue no words but Mum,
[350]
The businesse asketh silent secrecie.Dame
Elianor giues Gold, to bring the Witch:
Gold cannot come amisse, were she a Deuill.Yet haue I Gold flyes from another Coast:I dare not say, from the rich Cardinall,
[355]
And from the great and new‑made Duke of Suffolke;Yet I doe finde it so: for to be plaine,They (knowing Dame
Elianors aspiring humor)
Haue hyred me to vnder‑mine the Duchesse,And buzze these Coniurations in her brayne.
[360]
They say, A craftie Knaue do's need no Broker,Yet am I
Suffolke and the Cardinalls Broker.
Hume, if you take not heed, you shall goe neere
To call them both a payre of craftie Knaues.Well, so it stands: and thus I feare at last,
[365]
Humes Knauerie will be the Duchesse Wracke,
And her Attainture, will be
Humphreyes fall:
Sort how it will, I shall haue Gold for all.Exit

What say'st thou? Did the Duke of Yorke

Take this fellow in, and send for his Master with a Purse
[400]
uant presently: wee'le heare more of your matter before

Suffolke let them goe.
All.Come, let's be gone.Exit.Queene.My Lord of Suffolke, say, is this the guise?Is this the Fashions in the Court of England?Is this the Gouernment of Britaines Ile?
[410]
And this the Royaltie of

What, shall King
Henry be a Pupill still,
Vnder the surly
Glosters Gouernance?
Am I a Queene in Title and in Stile,And must be made a Subiect to a Duke?
[415]
I tell thee
Poole, when in the Citie
ToursThou ran'st a‑tilt in honor of my Loue,And stol'st away the Ladies hearts of France;I thought King
Henry had resembled thee,
In Courage, Courtship, and Proportion:
[420]
But all his minde is bent to Holinesse,To number
Aue‑Maries on his Beades:
His Champions, are the Prophets and Apostles,His Weapons, holy Sawes of sacred Writ,His Studie is his Tilt‑yard, and his Loues
[425]
Are brazen Images of Canonized Saints.I would the Colledge of the CardinallsWould chuse him Pope, and carry him to Rome,And set the Triple Crowne vpon his Head;That were a State fit for his Holinesse.Suff.

And grumbling
Yorke: and not the least of these,
But can doe more in England then the King.Suff.And he of these, that can doe most of all,Cannot doe more in England then the
Neuils:Salisbury and
Warwick are no simple Peeres.
Queene.
[440]
Not all these Lords do vex me halfe so much,As that prowd Dame, the Lord Protectors Wife:She sweepes it through the Court with troups of Ladies,More like an Empresse, then Duke
Humphreyes Wife:
Strangers in Court, doe take her for the Queene:
[445]
She beares a Dukes Reuenewes on her backe,And in her heart she scornes our Pouertie:Shall I not liue to be aueng'd on her?Contemptuous base‑borne Callot as she is,She vaunted 'mongst her Minions t'other day,
[450]
The very trayne of her worst wearing Gowne,Was better worth then all my Fathers Lands,Till
Suffolke gaue two Dukedomes for his Daughter.
Suff.Madame, my selfe haue lym'd a Bush for her,And plac't a Quier of such enticing Birds,
[455]
That she will light to listen to the Layes,And neuer mount to trouble you againe.So let her rest: and Madame list to me,For I am bold to counsaile you in this;Although we fancie not the Cardinall,

Yet must we ioyne with him and with the Lords,Till we haue brought Duke
Humphrey in disgrace.
