The Life of King Henry the Eight. L. Cham. What is't for? Lou. The reformation of our trauel'd Gallants, That fill the Court with quarrels, talke, and Taylors. L. Cham. I'm glad 'tis there;
[570]
Now I would pray our Monsieurs To thinke an English Courtier may be wise, And neuer see the Louure.
Lou. They must either (For so run the Conditions) leaue those remnants
[575]
Of Foole and Feather, that they got in France, With all their honourable points of ignorance Pertaining thereunto; as Fights and Fire‑workes, Abusing better men then they can be Out of a forreigne wisedome, renouncing cleane
[580]
The faith they haue in Tennis and tall Stockings, Short blistred Breeches, and those types of Trauell; And vnderstand againe like honest men Or pack to their old Playfellowes; there, I take it, They may Cum Pruiilegio, wee away
[585]
The lag end of their lewdnesse, and be laugh'd at.
L. San. Tis time to giue 'em Physicke, their diseases Are growne so catching. L. Cham. What a losse our Ladies Will haue of these trim vanities? Louell.
[590]
I marry, There will be woe indeed Lords, the slye whorsons Haue got a speeding tricke to lay downe Ladies: A French Song, and a Fiddle, ha's no Fellow.
L. San. The Diuell fiddle 'em,
[595]
I am glad they are going, For sure there's no conuerting of 'em: now An honest Country Lord as I am, beaten A long time out of play, may bring his plaine song, And haue an houre of hearing, and by'r Lady
[600]
Held currant Musicke too.
L. Cham. Well said Lord Sands, Your Colts tooth is not cast yet? L. San. No my Lord, Nor shall not while I haue a stumpe. L. Cham.
[605]
Sir Thomas, Whither were you a going?
Lou. To the Cardinals; Your Lordship is a guest too. L. Cham. O, 'tis true;
[610]
This night he makes a Supper, and a great one, To many Lords and Ladies; there will be The Beauty of this Kingdome Ile assure you.
Lou. That Churchman Beares a bounteous minde indeed,
[615]
A hand as fruitfull as the Land that feeds vs, His dewes fall euery where.
L. Cham. No doubt hee's Noble; He had a blacke mouth that said other of him. L. San. He may my Lord,
[620]
Ha's wherewithall in him; Sparing would shew a worse sinne, then ill Doctrine, Men of his way, should be most liberall, They are set heere for examples.
L. Cham. True, they are so;
[625]
But few now giue so great ones: My Barge stayes; Your Lordship shall along: Come, good Sir Thomas, We shall be late else, which I would not be, For I was spoke to, with Sir Henry Guilford
[630]
This night to be Comptrollers.
L. San. I am your Lordships. Exeunt.

[645]
But halfe my Lay‑thoughts in him, some of these Should finde a running Banket, ere they rested, I thinke would better please 'em: by my life, They are a sweet society of faire ones.
Lou. O that your Lordship were but now Confessor,
[650]
To one or two of these.
San. I would I were, They should finde easie pennance. Lou. Faith how easie? San. As easie as a downe bed would affoord it. Cham.
[655]
Sweet Ladies will it please you sit; Sir Harry Place you that side, Ile take the charge of this: His Grace is entring. Nay, you must not freeze, Two women plac'd together, makes cold weather: My Lord Sands, you are one will keepe 'em waking:

San. By my faith, And thanke your Lordship: by your leaue sweet Ladies, If I chance to talke a little wilde, forgiue me: I had it from my Father. An. Bul.
[665]
Was he mad Sir?
San. O very mad exceeding mad, in loue too; But he would bite none, iust as I doe now, He would Kisse you Twenty with a breath. Cham. Well said my Lord:
[670]
So now y'are fairely seated: Gntlemen, The pennance lyes on you; if these faire Ladies Passe away frowning.
San. For my little Cure, Let me alone. Hoboyes. Enter Cardinall Wolsey, and takes his State. Card.
[675]
Y'are wel ome my faire Guests that noble Lady Or Gentleman that is not freely merry Is not my Friend. This to confirme my welcome, And to you all good health.
