_Cam._ His grace Hath spoken well and justly: therefore, madam, 65 It's fit this royal session do proceed, And that without delay their arguments Be now produced and heard. _Q. Kath._ Lord cardinal,[385] To you I speak.[385] _Wol._ Your pleasure, madam? _Q. Kath._ Sir,[386][387] I am about to weep; but, thinking that[386] 70 We are a queen, or long have dream'd so, certain The daughter of a king, my drops of tears I'll turn to sparks of fire. _Wol._ Be patient yet.[388] _Q. Kath._ I will, when you are humble; nay, before, Or God will punish me. I do believe,[389] 75 Induced by potent circumstances, that You are mine enemy, and make my challenge[390] You shall not be my judge: for it is you Have blown this coal betwixt my lord and me; Which God's dew quench! Therefore I say again, 80 I utterly abhor, yea, from my soul Refuse you for my judge; whom, yet once more, I hold my most malicious foe and think not At all a friend to truth. _Wol._ I do profess You speak not like yourself; who ever yet 85 Have stood to charity and display'd the effects Of disposition gentle and of wisdom O'ertopping woman's power. Madam, you do me wrong:[391] I have no spleen against you, nor injustice For you or any: how far I have proceeded,[392] 90 Or how far further shall, is warranted[393] By a commission from the consistory, Yea, the whole consistory of Rome. You charge me That I have blown this coal: I do deny it: The king is present: if it be known to him[394] 95 That I gainsay my deed, how may he wound,[395] And worthily, my falsehood! yea, as much As you have done my truth. If he know[396] That I am free of your report, he knows I am not of your wrong. Therefore in him 100 It lies to cure me; and the cure is to Remove these thoughts from you: the which before His highness shall speak in, I do beseech You, gracious madam, to unthink your speaking And to say so no more.[397]
