Hampton Court, after the death of Cardinal Wolsey, "I found him
shooting _at the rounds_ in the park on the backside of the garden,
and perceiving him occupied in shooting, thought it not my duty to
trouble him, but leaned to a tree intending to stand there, and to
attend his gracious pleasure. Being in a great study, at the last
the King came suddenly behind me where I stood, and clapped his
hand upon my shoulder, and when I perceived him, I fell upon my
knee. To whom he said calling me by name, 'I will,' quoth he, 'make
an end of my game, and then I will talk with you,' and so departed
to his mark, whereat the game was ended. Then the king delivered
