"Fairely answer'd: A Loyal, and obedient Subject is Therein illustrated, the Honor of it Does pay the Act of it, as i'th' contrary The fowlenesse is the punishment. I presume That as my hand ha's open'd Bounty to you, My heart dropt Love, my powre rain'd Honor, more On you, then any: So your Hand, and Heart, Your Braine, and every Function of your power, Should, notwithstanding that your bond of duty, As 'twer in Love's particular, be more To me your Friend, then any." Wolsey rejoins: "I do professe That for your Highnesse good, I ever labour'd More then mine owne: that am, haue, and will be (Though all the world should crack their duty to you, And throw it from their Soule, though perils did Abound, as thicke as thought could make 'em, and Appeare in formes more horrid) yet my Duty, As doth a Rocke against the chiding Flood, Should the approach of this wilde River breake, And stand unshaken yours." I read: "I do profess That for your highness' good I ever labour'd More than mine own: that _I'm true_, and will be, Though all the world should lack their duty to you, And throw it from their soul: though perils did Abound, as thick as thought could make them, and Appear in forms more horrid; yet my duty (As doth a rock against the chiding flood) Should the approach of this wild river break, And stand unshaken yours." Your Leeds correspondent would read: "I do profess That for your highness' good I ever labour'd More than mine own.--_That_, am _I_, have, and will be, Though all the world should crack their duty to you And throw it from their soul," &c. For his arguments I must refer to his note (p. 111. _antè_), merely observing that I cannot conceive how any alteration in the punctuation of the King's speech could connect it with this! Making _That_ emphatic helps nothing, as there is no antecedent to which it can refer; and if "we can by no means part with _have_," we must interpolate _been_ after it to make it any way intelligible, to the marring of the verse. With regard to the substitution of _lack_ for _crack_ in my former note, it should be recollected that I then said "I do not insist upon this." We might, however, substitute _slack_, if change should be deemed necessary, and it would be still nearer in form to the suspected word. I may safely leave the _palpable_ error in _As You Like It_ to the decision of common sense.
