Henry VIII Act 2 Scene 2 lyrics

SCENE II. An ante-chamber in the palace.

Enter Chamberlain, reading a letter

CHAMBERLAIN
'My lord, the horses your lordship sent for, with
all the care I had, I saw well chosen, ridden, and
furnished. They were young and handsome, and of the
best breed in the north. When they were ready to
set out for London, a man of my lord cardinal's, by
commission and main power, took 'em from me; with
this reason: His master would be served before a
subject, if not before the king; which stopped our
mouths, sir.'
I fear he will indeed: well, let him have them:
He will have all, I think.

Enter, to Chamberlain, NORFOLK and SUFFOLK

NORFOLK
Well met, my lord chamberlain.

CHAMBERLAIN
Good day to both your graces.

SUFFOLK
How is the king employ'd?
