Suf. The cardinal's letters to the pope miscarried,[507] 30
And came to the eye o' the king: wherein was read[508]
How that the cardinal did entreat his holiness
To stay the judgement o' the divorce; for if
It did take place, 'I do' quoth he 'perceive
My king is tangled in affection to 35
A creature of the queen's, Lady Anne Bullen.'
Sur. Has the king this?
Suf. Believe it.
Sur. Will this work?[509]
Cham. The king in this perceives him, how he coasts
And hedges his own way. But in this point[510]
All his tricks founder, and he brings his physic 40
After his patient's death: the king already
Hath married the fair lady.
Sur. Would he had!
Suf. May you be happy in your wish, my lord![511]
For, I profess, you have it.
Sur. Now, all my joy[512]
Trace the conjunction!
Suf. My amen to't!
Nor. All men's! 45
