Before the second course was served, the Garter, followed by
Clarenceux and Norroy, together with the heralds and pursuivants,
advanced towards the sovereign's canopy, and cried thrice in a loud
voice, "Largesse!"

Upon this, all the knights-companions arose and took off their caps.
The Garter then proceeded to proclaim the king's titles in Latin and
French, and lastly in English, as follows:--" Of the most high, most
excellent, and most mighty monarch, Henry the Eighth, by the grace of
God King of England, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, and
Sovereign of the most noble Order of the Garter."

This proclamation made, the treasurer of the household put ten golden
marks into the Garter's cap, who making a reverence to the sovereign,
retired from the hall with his followers.

"Come, my lord legate," said Henry, when this ceremony was at an end,
"we will drink to my future queen. What ho! wine!" he added to the Earl
of Surrey, who officiated as cup-bearer.

"Your highness is not yet divorced from your present consort," replied
Campeggio. "If it please you, I should prefer drinking the health of
Catherine of Arragon."

"Well, as your eminence pleases," replied the king, taking the goblet
from the hand of Surrey; "I shall not constrain you.

And looking towards the gallery, he fixed his eyes on the Lady Anne and
drained the cup to the last drop.
