_King._ Good my lord, You are full of heavenly stuff, and bear the inventory Of your best graces in your mind; the which[546] You were now running o'er: you have scarce time To steal from spiritual leisure a brief span[547] 140 To keep your earthly audit: sure, in that I deem you an ill husband, and am glad[548] To have you therein my companion. _Wol._ Sir, For holy offices I have a time; a time[549] To think upon the part of business which[550] 145 I bear i' the state; and nature does require Her times of preservation, which perforce I, her frail son, amongst my brethren mortal, Must give my tendance to. _King._ You have said well. _Wol._ And ever may your highness yoke together, 150 As I will lend you cause, my doing well With my well saying! _King._ 'Tis well said again; And 'tis a kind of good deed to say well: And yet words are no deeds. My father loved you: He said he did, and with his deed did crown[551] 155 His word upon you. Since I had my office,[552] I have kept you next my heart; have not alone Employ'd you where high profits might come home, But pared my present havings, to bestow My bounties upon you. _Wol._ [_Aside_] What should this mean?[553] 160 _Sur._ [_Aside_] The Lord increase this business![553] _King._ Have I not made you The prime man of the state? I pray you, tell me, If what I now pronounce you have found true: And, if you may confess it, say withal, If you are bound to us or no. What say you? 165 _Wol._ My sovereign, I confess your royal graces, Shower'd on me daily, have been more than could My studied purposes requite; which went[554] Beyond all man's endeavours: my endeavours[555] Have ever come too short of my desires, 170 Yet filed with my abilities: mine own ends[556] Have been mine so that evermore they pointed[557] To the good of your most sacred person and The profit of the state. For your great graces Heap'd upon me, poor undeserver, I 175 Can nothing render but allegiant thanks, My prayers to heaven for you, my loyalty, Which ever has and ever shall be growing[558] Till death, that winter, kill it.
