And on it all, this bold, insulting letter,

Reads me a lesson from His Holiness,

Yon arrogant priest, the scheming Pope of Rome.

Bam. Henry, as your father’s oldest friend,

As your most faithful subject I would plead,

Be not o’er hasty in this sudden business.

Hen. Bamburg, I am sick of being a child,

You drive me mad by your pacific measures.

While you are dallying, they will ride me down

With squadrons and with curses. Nay, no more!
