Chapter 42 second act

Scene 1 Westminster Street ⑥ The two gentlemen went up from the two doors respectively. First Gentleman Going so fast, where are you going? Second Gentleman God bless you, go to Westminster Hall, and find out what happened to the great Duke of Buckingham. First Gentleman, let me tell you, you don't need to waste your efforts.Everything was over, except for the ritual of bringing the prisoner back. Second Gentleman Where are you from? First Gentleman I'm not from there! Second Gentleman Please tell me what happened. First Gentleman You will guess it at once. Is second gentleman convicting him?

First Gentleman That goes without saying, and condemned. What a pity, Gentleman B! First Gentleman And many more feel pity too. Second Gentleman But pray, how did the trial go? First Gentleman I can tell you briefly.The great duke came before the court, and he dissatisfied from the beginning to the end of the charges against him, and advanced many strong reasons for the invalidity of the law.But the king's prosecutor proved him guilty based on the statements, written statements, and documents of various witnesses.The duke asked the witnesses to confront him face to face, and the negative witnesses in court included his steward, his personal priest Mr. Gilbert Parker, his confessor John Carle, and the devil monk Hopkins who caused this disaster. s.

Second Gentleman Hopkins was the man who incited the duke with prophecies. First Gentleman is him.All these made strong accusations, and the duke tried, of course, to exonerate himself, but without success, and on the basis of these proofs the nobles, who should have been his equals, convicted him of treason.In defense of his life, the duke cites scriptures and speaks eloquently, but his words can only arouse pity for him, or be forgotten. What is Gentleman's attitude after this? First Gentleman Afterwards, they brought him to court to hear his own death knell--his verdict, and he was wretched and sweated after hearing it.He said a few words hastily, in an angry, hostile way.But then he got himself under control, with a lovely, very noble patience, to the end.

Second Gentleman I don't think he's afraid of death now. First Gentleman He is not afraid of death, nor did he express it like a woman at the time.He may have had some grief over what caused his death. Second Gentleman Verily, the cardinal is the cause of this calamity. First Gentleman According to the speculation of all, it is probable.First Gildale fell out of favor, and was dismissed as Governor of Ireland; then the Earl of Surrey was transferred, hastily, lest he aid his father-in-law. Second Gentleman This political maneuver is deliberate and malicious. First Gentleman When he comes back, he will surely take revenge.Everyone noticed that whoever the king favored, the cardinal always assigned him a post at once, and always at a distance from the court.

Gentleman B, the common people all hate him to the bone. According to conscience, everyone would like him to be buried in an abyss of hundreds of feet.And this duke, loved and adored by all, is called the generous Buckingham, a mirror of all noble nobles— First Gentleman, stand there and don't move; look at the subverted aristocracy you just spoke of. Buckingham enters the court; the guard with the axe leads, and the blade is directed at Buckingham; the guards on both sides hold their spears; Sir Thomas Lovell, Sir Nicholas Faust, Lord William Sands, and the common people follow. Second Gentleman Let's take a closer look at him.

All good people of Buckingham, you who have come a long way to commiserate with me, hear what I have to say, and then go home and forget me.I am condemned today for treason, and die a treason; but heaven is my witness, and I am a man of conscience, and if I be untrue to my conscience, when the ax falls, I shall Let it destroy me.I don't resent the law for putting me to death. The law is just according to the procedure; but for those who resort to the law, I hope they are more like Christians.Whoever they may be, I forgive them with all my heart; but these people should take care not to honor doing evil, nor build their crimes on the graves of great men.I have no hope of surviving in this world; nor do I want to beg, though the Emperor is infinitely merciful and does not blame me for my offense.You few who loved me and dared to mourn Buckingham were his noble friends and companions, and it was his only regret to die alone without you.Come with me, send me to my end like a good angel; when the falling steel ax cuts off the connection between my body and soul forever, please pray for me, as a sweet sacrifice for me, and save me soul ascended to heaven.For God's sake, lead the way.

Lord Lovell, I beseech you, if you harbor any malice against me, be merciful and openly forgive me. Sir Thomas Lovell, Buckingham, I forgive you unreservedly, and I hope to be forgiven.I forgive everyone.I am reconciled to people despite the countless things they have done to me, and I will never build my grave with black resentment.Give my respects to the Emperor, and if he speaks of Buckingham, tell him that when you meet Buckingham Buckingham will be half way to Paradise.I still swear allegiance to the king, pray for him, and bless him as long as my soul does not leave my body.I wish him a long life without bounds, and I wish that he lived so long that I can't count it now; I wish that he governed the country with benevolence and love; hole.

Lord Lovell, please allow me to lead you to the river bank and hand you over to Sir Nicholas Fauss, who will lead you to your destination. Faus come, get ready, the duke is here; see if the boat is ready, and fit it up, to be fit for the duke. Buckingham No need, Sir Nicholas, let it go; it makes a mockery of where I am now.When I came I was Lord Chamberlain, Duke of Buckingham, and now I'm just poor Edward Boone.Yet I am much richer than the scumbags who accuse me, who have never known what the truth is.I swear now, and with my blood, that one day my blood will make them groan.My honorable father Henry, Duke of Buckingham, first launched an attack against Richard III who usurped the throne, and after failing, he fled to his servant Bannister for help. He did not want to be betrayed by this bitch and was arrested without trial. Executed, may God bless him after his death.Henry VII came to the throne, he took pity on my father's death, and ordered me to steal my honor, a wise prince indeed, who brought my name back to the rank of nobles after the ruin of my family .And now Henry VII, son of Henry VII, has taken, at once, from the world, my life, my honour, my name, and everything that made me happy.It is true that I have passed the trial, and I must admit that the trial did not dishonor my nobility, which makes me feel a little happier than my poor father; but our destiny has something in common, we are both Framed by a servant, by our favorite man, the most inhuman and disloyal servant.Everything is God's arrangement, but you listeners, believe a dying man's truth: When you are generous in your friendship or sincere in your words, be careful, because Those who you treat as friends, those whom you have given your heart to, as soon as they see you lose power a little bit, they will immediately flow away from you like a stream of water without a trace, even if Goodbye, I am also trying to drown you.Pray for me, all you good people; I must leave you now; the last moment of my long, weary life is coming.do not.Whenever you want to talk about sorrow, please tell me how I died.I'm done, God forgive me. (Exeunt the Duke of Buckingham and his entourage.)

First Gentleman, how pitiful, sir, I see that those who put him to death will bring upon themselves infinite misfortune. SECOND GENTLEMAN The duke would be too sad if he were innocent.But I seem to have a vague feeling that something ominous is about to happen, and if it happens, it will be more serious than today's incident. First Gentleman May good angels bless us, what ominous thing is it?You do not doubt, sir, that I am unreliable. Second Gentleman This is a very important secret, and one must be very reliable to keep it from being revealed. First Gentleman, tell me, I am not very talkative.

Second Gentleman I believe you, sir, I told you.Haven't you heard lately the chatter of the king wanting to divorce Catherine? First Gentleman I heard it, but it was not true, for the king, when he heard the rumor, was furious, and at once ordered the mayor of London to stop the rumor, and to restrain those who dared to speak. Second Gentleman But, sir, the rumor of insulting the king is now true.The rumor had recently come round again, and with greater force than before, that it was surely believed that the king was on the point of risking it.Perhaps it was the cardinal, or some other of the king's confidants, who, out of hatred for the good queen, aroused the king's suspicions and thereby corrupted her.The recent arrival of Cardinal Campius seemed to confirm this, and it was supposed that he had come for that purpose. ⑧

FIRST GENTLEMAN This must have been done by the Cardinal, who had no other purpose than to avenge the Emperor, who refused to grant him the Archbishop of Toledo. Second Gentleman I think you guessed right.But the queen suffers because of this, isn't it cruel?The cardinal must do this, and the queen must fall. First Gentleman It is miserable.People come and go here, and it is inconvenient to talk. Let's find a place where there is no one to think. (same below.) An antechamber in the palace in Scene 2 Enter the Chamberlain, reading the letter as he walks. Minister of the Palace "Honor of the Minister of the Palace: I have done my best to prepare horses, and I have personally sent people to select, train and equip them with saddles and bridles. The horses are all young foals, extremely handsome, and they are fine breeds in the Northland. They are about to be sent to In London, I didn’t expect the Cardinal to send someone to take the horses away by force. The reason is: the king and below should worship the Cardinal first, and the general subjects are not allowed to take the lead, so we have nothing to say.” I'm afraid I have to worship him first.Well, give it to him, I think he's determined to have it all. Enter the Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk. Greetings, Lord Chancellor of the Norfolk House. The Ministers of the Palace, the two dukes are good. What is the Emperor of Suffolk doing now? Minister of the Palace I have just left him, and he is alone in his thoughts. Norfolk for what reason? The Minister of the Palace seemed to have disturbed his conscience because of his marriage to his sister-in-law. Suffolk (narrator) I think it's because he's got another woman on his mind. Norfolk is for this reason.It's all the Cardinal's doing.This cardinal is simply the second emperor.This blind monk, he has become the eldest son of the goddess of fate, turning the wheel of fortune as he pleases.One day the emperor will see through him. The original God of Suffolk asked the emperor to open his eyes, otherwise the bishop would simply not know what was going on with him. Norfolk, how holy and pious he looked!But what kind of tricks is he doing!Having broken the alliance between the Queen's great nephew, the Holy Roman Emperor, and us, now he enters the king's soul, where he sows mischief, misgivings, qualms of conscience, fear, and despair, all because of the king's marriage.In order to recover the King from these misgivings, etc., he again proposed a divorce.What a loss!The queen hung on the king's breast like a jewel for twenty years, and never lost her splendor; she loved the king as purely as an angel loves a good man; Will also bless the king.How pious he was! Lord Chamberlain God bless me, don't let me have that suggestion!It is true that the news has been carried everywhere, and everyone is talking about it, and every good-hearted person has wept for it.Those who dared to investigate the details of the matter found that the main purpose was to get the Emperor to hire the French King's sister.The emperor seemed to be sleeping for a long time, and couldn't see this bold villain clearly, but the sky will illuminate the emperor's eyes one day. Suffolk and set us free from his bondage. Norfolk We must pray for our salvation, or this high-handed man will turn us all from lords to houseboys.Those of us with noble honors are like a lump of mud in front of him, and he can squeeze us into whatever rank he likes. Suffolk As far as I am, my lords, I neither love nor fear him, that is my creed.I did not rely on him to become a nobleman. As long as His Majesty the King agrees, I will continue to be a nobleman.Whether he curses or blesses me, it has nothing to do with me, just like a gust of wind, I don't believe it.I knew him in the past and I still know him now.The Pope, who made him so powerful, can do with him as he pleases, and that's out of my business. Norfolk Let us go and see the emperor, and talk to him about other business, That he shall not be so troubled about it.My lord, will you go with us too? The Minister of the Palace will not accompany you, the king has sent me to another business.However, it may be inconvenient for the two of you to meet at this time for fear of disturbing His Majesty.Good health to both dukes. Norfolk Thank you for your kindness, Lord Chamberlain. (Exit Minister of State.) The Duke of Norfolk opened two doors, and the king sat in the inner room, absorbed in reading. Suffolk How serious is his look.He must have been in great pain. King Henry huh?who? Norfolk may God spare him anger. Who is King Henry?I was meditating alone, how dare you barge in for no reason?Who am I?ha? Norfolk You are a merciful lord, Who forgives anyone who offends you with no malice.Our deviant behavior is really due to important events, and we need to ask His Majesty for a ruling. KING HENRY You are too bold and unseemly.I want you to know when it is time to talk about business.Is this the time for worldly affairs?ha? Enter Wolsey and Campius with their commissions. Who is King Henry?Is my good cardinal my lord?O my Wolsey, only you can calm my wounded conscience.You are truly qualified to heal the king's medicine. (To Campios) Learned and respected priest, welcome to our country, and my country and I are at your service. (to Wolsey) My lord, be careful not to make me a talker. His Majesty Wolsey will not talk.I ask His Majesty to speak with us in secret for an hour. KING HENRY (to Norfolk and Suffolk) Go down, I have business now. Norfolk (to Suffolk) Doesn't this monk have any sense of decency? Suffolk (to Norfolk) has not much.I don't want to be in his role.However, things cannot stay the same forever. Norfolk (to Suffolk) If it doesn't change, I'll risk it and fuck him! Suffolk (to Norfolk) I'd risk it too. (Exit Norfolk and Suffolk.) His Majesty Wolsey raised your doubts without hesitation, and publicly solicited opinions from Christian countries. It can be seen that His Majesty is wise enough to be emulated by monarchs of all countries.Who can express dissatisfaction with His Majesty?Who can maliciously slander His Majesty?Although the Spaniards are related to her by blood and have good intentions towards her, if they have good intentions, they will now have to admit that this trial is fair and in line with noble status.Any monk--I mean learned monks from all Christian countries--is free to express his opinion.Rome - Wise nurse, at the invitation of your majesty himself, sent a representative to us, this venerable, impartial and learned monk, Cardinal Campius.Once again I have brought him to His Majesty. KING HENRY Once again I embrace him, welcome him, and thank the Holy See for my love, who have sent just the man I hoped for. The noble character of His Majesty Campios is worthy of the respect and love of all Gentiles.I now place in His Majesty the commission I brought with me, which reads: The Holy See entrusts you, Your Excellency Cardinal, with me, who has been ordered here, to judge this matter justly. King Henry Both are just men.I decided to send someone to inform the queen of your purpose here.Where is Gardener? Wolsey I know Your Majesty has always been fond of her, and I suppose His Majesty will not refuse her to have some scholars to defend her adequately.A woman with a lower status than her is also allowed by the law to ask someone to defend her. King Henry must hire the best defender, and I will reward the best defender.Bad ones are not allowed.Cardinal, please call for my newly appointed secretary Gardner.I think he's a good fit. (Exit Woolsy.) Enter Wolsey leading Gardener. WOLSEY (to GARDENER) Shake my hand, and I wish you happiness and favor.You are now the emperor's man. GARDENER (to WOLSEY) But always do what your lord bishop tells you, for I was singled out by you. King Henry come, Gardenal. (The two walk away, whispering.) My lord Bishop of Campias York, was not this man's present position formerly held by a Dr. Pace? Woolsey yes. Campias Don't everyone say that Pace is very learned? Woolsey, of course. CAMPIAS Believe me, my lord cardinal, there is a talk that is against you. What about Woolsey?for me? Campias They say without hesitation that you envy him, that he is a man of great virtue, that you are afraid that he will rise to prominence, and that you keep sending him abroad, that he will die of madness and depression. Wool wishes God to grant him peace, which is enough to show a Christian's concern for him.As for the living whiners, there are plenty of places to gag them.Pace had to act sanctimoniously, which was pretty stupid.That fellow Gardner isn't bad, and he'll be where I send him.Not such a person, I will never let him get so close to me.Remember, dude, we don't live to let scumbags sit on our equals and shake hands. King Henry tenderly handed this over to the Queen. (Exit GARDENER) The best place I can think of to receive such learned men is the monastery of the Black Order.You meet there to deal with this important business.My Wolsey, send for it.Well, my lord, how sad it is for a man of great energy to be separated from such a lovely companion?But conscience, conscience, it is the most sensitive.I must abandon her. (same below.) Scene 3 An antechamber in the queen's chambers Enter Ann Pauline and the Old Woman. Ann is not because of that either.The sad reason is: the emperor has lived with her for so long, and she is such a good person, no one can say a bad word about her, I guarantee my life, she never knows what it means to hurt others, Heck, since I took the throne, I have spent so many years, and my dignity and glory have grown endlessly—the pain I feel when I give up these things is more than a thousand times greater than the sweetness I felt when I got them——There have been so many After a period of experience, the monster would feel sad if he suddenly ordered her to be expelled today. The old woman's hard-hearted people also softened their hearts for her and felt sorry for her. That's what An Tian thought, it's better that she never enjoyed this glory.Although glory is perishable, but if it is really because of discord, because of fate, she and glory are separated by a knife, the pain is really the same as the separation of soul and body. OLD WOMAN Alas, poor queen, she is a foreigner again now. Ann made her even more pitiable.To be honest, I think that it is better to be born in a poor family and associate with poor and lowly people, to live contentedly and happily than to live in sorrow and pain with silk and satin, jewels and treasures. Contentment is our greatest wealth. Ann, to be honest, I swear as a daughter, I don't want to be queen. Old lady, I am not afraid of committing crimes, I am willing, and I dare to give up my daughter's family status, but I want to be a queen once.Don't look at your pretending, in fact, you are willing in your heart.You look so feminine and pretty, your heart is also a woman’s heart, and a woman’s heart always loves status, gold, silver, and power. To be honest, these things are blessings and gifts from God. Look at your prudence, your conscience made of soft lambskin, if you are willing to stretch it open, these gifts will be full. Ann, to be honest, you are all talking nonsense. The old woman is telling the truth, telling the truth, isn't it the truth?You really don't want to be queen? Give me all the gold and silver treasures in the world, and I am not right. Old woman, this is strange.I am an old man, but if anyone will pay me for a crooked threepence, I will marry him once.But tell me, what do you think of being a duchess? To be honest, I don't want to either. Old woman, your bones are too soft.Go down one more level; if I meet a young earl, I will blush at most, and I will never keep my daughter's status like you.You won't even bear the weight in your spine, it's too soft to ever get a baby. An look at your nonsense!I swear again, give me the whole world, and I don't want to be queen. Old lady, I think you'd be willing to hold a ball if I gave you little England.It is enough for me to have Carnarvonshire myself, though it does not belong to the king.Look who's here. Enter the Chamberlain. Good morning, Minister of the Palace, is the secret conversation between the two nobles worth listening to? Ann my good lord, it is not worth your asking, we are sorry for our mistress. What you have done, ministers of the palace, is a good thing, as good women should do.And hope for a happy ending. Ann I pray to God, I hope so. Your heart is really good, Minister of the Palace, and may heaven bless you for such a person.Good lord, I am speaking very sincerely. His Majesty the King sees that you have many virtues. In order to show his respect for you, he confers on you the title of Marquess of Pembroke. There is also a reward of 1,000 pounds for the year. Ann I really don't know how to show my loyalty.Giving up everything I have is not enough to repay the emperor's kindness; praying for the emperor is not enough to show my piety; wishing him is at best empty and worthless.But I can only repay with prayers and wishes.I beg my lord to thank you for me in front of the emperor, to show my loyalty, and say that the servant girl is really ashamed, and may the saint be healthy and the emperor prosper. Minister of the Palace, I must prove to the emperor that his admiration for you is justified. (Narrator) I have carefully considered her, she is really good-looking, no wonder the emperor has taken a fancy to her.Maybe this noble person will give birth to a bright pearl to illuminate our island country. ⑿ (to Ann Pauline) I went to see the emperor and told him that I have given you his will. (Exit Minister of State.) Mrs. Ann, goodbye. Old woman cough, what a coincidence, look, I stayed in the palace like a beggar for sixteen years, and I am still a beggar today: begging for money in the east, begging in the west, it is always bad luck, it is not too early to go , it is too late.But you—this is also fate—a new fish—it’s lucky to come here—and your mouth is full before you open your mouth. I didn't think of that either. How does the old lady taste?Is it bitter?I bet fortypence it won't be bitter.Once upon a time there was a girl--it's an old story--she wouldn't be queen, and she wouldn't give her all the mud of Egypt.Have you heard it? Forget it, Ann, you're kidding again. The old woman has a good title like yours, and I can sing better than a lark.The Marchioness of Pembroke?Just because the emperor respects you, a thousand pounds a year?No other responsibilities?I dare to guarantee with my life that I don't know how many thousands of pounds are waiting for you.Huang En is like a piece of clothing with a long front and even longer hem at the back.By now I dare say you can carry the title of Duchess on your back.Tell me, are you stronger than before? Auntie Anhao, you like to be happy, even if you are happy, don't drag me into it.If this incident makes me happy, it would be better if my mother didn't give birth to me. I feel weak all over when I think of the consequences.The queen is sad. We have been here for a long time, and we have forgotten her. Please don't tell her what you heard here. OLD WOMAN What do you think of me? (same below.) Scene 4 Hall of the Monastery of the Black Monks Bronze horns and horns are played into the tune.Enter the two Masters of Ceremonies with short silver staffs; next come the two Scribes, in the garb of Doctors of Laws; then the Archbishop of Canterbury, enter alone; then the four Bishops of Lincoln, Ely, Rochester, and St. Asaph.Slightly spaced.A Gentleman enters with seal-pouch, great seal, and cardinal's diadem; then two clergymen, each holding a silver cross; the master of ceremonies, uncapped, followed by the king's bodyguard with a long-handled silver hammer; and then two gentlemen, each holding a silver cross. A pillar; then two cardinals abreast, followed by two nobles with swords and maces.The king was seated, covered with a canopy.Two cardinals sat below the king and acted as judges.The queen is seated, and the queen's seat is slightly away from the king's seat.The four bishops sat on both sides according to the rules of the church court, and two clerks sat below.A number of nobles sat in turn next to the bishop.The roll call officer and other servants stood in turn. Wolsey sent down the order, and ordered silence, to read our commission from Rome. What need does King Henry have?It has already been read publicly, and the authority of the Holy See is recognized in all respects, so save a little time. Woolsey complied.Next step. The scribes called the roll, and Henry, King of England, appeared. The roll call officer, King Henry of England, appeared. The scribes called the roll, and Catherine, Queen of England, appeared in court. The roll call officer, Queen Catherine of England, appeared. Queen Catherine did not answer, stood up from the throne, walked around the court for a week, walked up to King Henry, knelt at his knees, and spoke: Majesty Queen Catherine, I ask you to be my master and show me mercy.I am the most wretched woman, and I am a foreigner, not born in your land; here I have no fair trial, no guarantee of friendly and fair treatment.Well, sire, what have I offended you about?How did my behavior offend you, why did you abandon me in this way, without rewarding me with any kindness?God testifies, as a wife, I have always been faithful and obedient to you, and I have always acted according to your will, always afraid of making you unhappy. To be honest, my own happiness and sorrow are determined by the changes in your face.When have I disobeyed your demands, and when have I not taken your demands as my own?Which one of your friends I did not love, though I knew he was my enemy?Which one of my friends have I not cut off from if any one provoked your ire?Not only that, I also informed him that he was not allowed to see me again from now on.Recall, Your Majesty, that for more than twenty years I have obeyed you as a wife, and have been fortunate enough to have borne you several children.If, in the course of this period of time, you can say and prove that I have suffered any loss in honor, in the relationship between husband and wife, in my duty and love to you, then, by God, Drive me away, show me the ugliest contempt, drive me out of doors, and bring me to the harshest judgment.Consider, Your Majesty, that your father was known to be the wisest of princes, wise and decisive; my father, Ferdinand of Spain, was said by all to be the wisest prince in ages.There is no doubt that when they first discussed this matter, and considered our marriage legal, they consulted with learned men from various countries.I therefore entreat Your Majesty to grant me mercy, till I consult my friends in Spain.If your majesty refuses, then let your majesty handle it. Queen Wolsey, you have chosen this place, these revered priests are unparalleled in morals and learning, yes, these are the eminent men of the country who come to defend you.Therefore, your request to postpone the hearing is absolutely not beneficial to yourself or the king. It will only make you uneasy and the emperor's doubts will not be eliminated. Your Excellency the Cardinal Aswoollsey of Campi Asworth said very well and quite rightly.Therefore, queen, the interrogation presided over by the emperor himself should be carried out this time. Don't delay any longer. Let everyone state the reasons for everyone present to listen. Queen Catherine Cardinal, I want to say a few words to you. Queen Wolsey please. My lord Queen Catherine, my tears are on the verge of my eyes, but when I think that I am a queen—perhaps I have always dreamed of being a queen—I am at least the daughter of a king, I melt my tears for Mars. Woolsey please be patient. Queen Catherine If you be humble, I'll be patient, or God will punish me; But you'll never be humble.I believe you are my enemy on strong evidence, and I object to your judgment, because it is you who have blown the fire between the emperor and me—but the nectar of God will quench it --So, I repeat, I oppose you without reserve, yes, from the depths of my soul I refuse you to judge me; Not a friend of truth. Wolsey: I must think that you do not talk at all like you usually do today.You have always been kind, and your words and deeds have always shown that you are mild-tempered and sensible, beyond the ability of ordinary women.Queen, you have wronged me, I have no malice towards you, I have done no injustice to you or to anyone; what I have done so far, and what I will do further, is that the Council of Cardinals of Rome— —Yes, it is still based on the commission of the General Council of the Cardinals of Rome.You accuse me of blowing fire, and I deny it; the emperor here, if he thinks I have done it, and now denies it, he can justly punish my lie; otherwise, you will damage my reputation.If he really knows that what you just reported has nothing to do with me, he also knows that I did not intend to frame you.So he is the one who can restore my honor by getting those thoughts out of your mind.Your Majesty will certainly discuss this matter soon, and before he does so, I sincerely beg you, kind queen, to stop thinking about what you just said, and say no more. Queen Catherine, my lord, I am a simple woman, too weak to match your cunning.You are docile and courteous in your mouth; you put on an appearance of perfect docility and humility as a sign of your rank and profession.But you are filled with arrogance, malice and arrogance.Relying on luck and the emperor's favor, you easily jumped out of the humble position, and now you have climbed to a very high position. The powerful people have become your entourage. It is really a call from the court, and a promise from the court. As long as you give orders, Someone will execute it.I cannot fail to tell you that you are too much concerned with your external glory, and too little with your high, spiritual calling.This is another reason why I refuse you to judge me.Here I am, in the presence of all of you, to appeal to the Pope, to submit my whole case to the holy Pope, and ask him to judge me. (Curtsies to the king, abstaining from court.) Queen Campias was too stubborn, disobeyed the law, found fault with the law, and disdained to be judged by the law, which is very bad.She is already leaving court. King Henry called her back. The roll call officer, Queen Catherine of England, appeared. Queen Griffiths, I send you home. Queen Catherine Why should you care about it?They tell you to go back, but please lead the way as usual.God help me, they've got me so impatient.Please go ahead, I will not stay, never stay, no matter which court they are in, I will never appear in this matter again. (Queen and attendants wait.) Henry King Cade, you go.Who in the world dares to say that his wife is more virtuous than mine, don't believe him, he is lying.You are unique, the queen of queens; there is no way to describe your rare qualities--gentleness, submissiveness, saintly obedience, self-denial of a good wife, obedience for obedience; In addition, your character is very noble and pious.她出身贵胄，她待我的态度也无愧于一个真正的贵族。 伍尔习仁慈的皇上，我以万分恭顺的心情请求陛下，请您开恩当众宣布，使在座的人都能听到，我到底在陛下面前提起过这件事没有，引起过您的怀疑而来审查这件事没有；我感谢上帝让您得到这样一位好王后，我在您面前谈到她的时候，什么时候我说过她半个字的坏话，损害了她今天的地位、损害了她的人身？我受到了袭击，被人捆住了手脚，因此不得不求解脱，虽然不能立时立地得到完全的补偿。 亨利王红衣主教大人，我原谅您；不错，我以我的荣誉担保，我宣布您与此事无关。您自己也知道您有不少仇人，这些人自己不知道为什么要和您作对，他们就像村子里的狗一样，听见别的狗叫唤，也跟着叫唤。其中有些人在王后面前说了坏话，引起了王后对您的恼怒。我原谅您。是否您觉得这还不够公道呢？您一向希望把这件事平息下去，不愿意惊师动众，而且多方加以遏止，作了许多努力。我以我的荣誉为誓，关于我这位善良的红衣主教大人，我就说到这里，在这些方面宣告他无罪。至于我的动机，请允许我耽搁各位一点时间，耗费各位一些精神来听一听。我的动机是这样的，请各位注意，最初我的良心感到有些痛苦、不安、刺痛，这是因为我听了当时法国大使贝扬主教讲的几句话而引起。贝扬主教奉命来到我国为奥尔良公爵和我的女儿玛丽议婚，在磋商的过程之中，还没有作出决议之前，他――我指的是那位主教――要求暂停谈判，以便禀奏他的主子法国国王，说明我的女儿不一定是合法的后裔，因为她是我和先兄留下的寡嫂结婚而生的。谈判的暂时停顿使我良心深处受到很大的震动，好像一根锋利的铁杵刺进了我的胸膛，使我的一片心田为之战栗。这无异是对我的警告，我感到惶惑，千头万绪的考虑涌上心头。首先，我觉得我失去了上天的恩宠，因为上天注定，王后和我生下的男嗣，不是在腹内夭折，就是出世后不久就死去，她创造的生命无异是坟墓中的僵尸。我认为这是上天对我的惩罚，我的国家在世界各国之中应该得到一位最好的王太子，然而不幸它却不能从就手中获得这种幸福。其次，我就考虑到我既无子嗣，我所统治的各国就发生了危机，这使我万分痛苦，我的良心就如惊涛骇浪，我就像一条船似的把帆卷起，掌起舵，驶向今天这条出路。也就是说，我感到良心有病，十分沉重，一直没有医好，因此今天特请国内圣职神父和博学之士来医治我良心的创伤。林肯主教大人，这件事我第一次是和您私下⒁谈起的，您还记得我第一次向您提的时候我感到的负担是多么沉重，简直使我透不过气来。 林肯我记得很清楚，陛下。 亨利王我说得时间太久了，请您自己说说您是怎样同意我的吧。 林肯陛下恕罪，这个问题是个无比重大的问题，后果是万分严重的，因此我乍一听时感到像是晴天霹雳，我当时提出了一个最大胆的建议，请陛下采取今天大家参与的这个办法，但是我当时是毫无信心的。 亨利王坎特伯雷大主教，后来我就和您提起此事，承您允诺召开今天的审讯。今天出庭的各位圣职神父，没有一位我没有事先向他请教过，每一位都表示同意，在你们的批准之下我才着手进行的。因此，继续审讯吧。这件案子的进行决不是因为对善良的王后本人抱有什么反感，而是因为我方才谈到的良心上的针刺。各位只要能证明我们的婚姻合法，我以我的生命和国王的尊严担保，我愿和她――我的王后凯瑟琳――终身偕老，即使世界上有天仙下凡，我也决不理睬。 坎丕阿斯陛下恕罪，王后已经退庭，似乎有必要休会，改日再开；同时必须立刻派人去恳请王后收回她意图呈递给教皇的呼吁书。 大家起身作离庭状。 亨利王（旁白）我看这几位红衣主教是在捋我的虎须。我厌恶罗马教廷这种拖延懒散的作风和这套把戏。我那亲爱的、博学的仆人克兰默，你回来；你靠近了我，我就有了安慰。退庭；前进。（全体按登场次序下。）
