I fain would see the issue of this cursing.
Yea, I would see this German foam at mouth,

(Exit Page. Enter Cardinals, who stand behind the Pope.)
(Enter the page, followed by the German Ambassador, who remains standing.)
Hild. (To Cardinals.) On your lives keep peace whatever he doth do. Leave him to me. (To the Ambassador.) Kneel!
Amb. Nay, I’ll not kneel to thee or other man
Till I have said my message.
