How much me thinkes, I could despise this man, But that I am bound in Charitie against it Nor. Those Articles, my Lord, are in the Kings hand: But thus much, they are foule ones Wol. So much fairer And spotlesse, shall mine Innocence arise, When the King knowes my Truth Sur. This cannot saue you: I thanke my Memorie, I yet remember Some of these Articles, and out they shall. Now, if you can blush, and crie guiltie Cardinall, You'l shew a little Honestie Wol. Speake on Sir, |
