The Churchmen Flashcards
Ely and Canterbury, drink
Ely: This would drink deep
Canterbury: ‘Twould Drink the cup and all
Canterbury, promise of Henry’s youth
The courses of his youth promis’d it not.
The breath no sooner left his father’s body
But that his wildness, moortified in him,
Seem’d to die too
Cantebury, scholar
Never was such a sudden scholar made,
Never came ferormation in a flood
With such a heady currance scouring faults,
Nor never Hydra-headed wilfulness
So soon did lose his seat, an all at once,
As in this king
Ely fruit
The strawberry grows underneath the nettle,
And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best
Neighbour’d by fruit of baser quality.
And so the prince obscur’d his contemplation
Under the veil of wildness, which, no doubt,
Grew like the summer grass feastest by night,
Un seen, yet crescive in his faculty
Cantebury on the bill and Henry
He seems indifferent,
Or rather swaying more upon our part
Than chefishing th’exhibiters against us,
For I have made an offer to his majesty
Upon our spiritual convocation
And in regard of causes now in hand
Which I have opn’d to his graace at large,
As touching France, to give a greater sum
Than ever at one time the clergy yet
Did to his predecessors part withal.
