Chapter 45 act five

First London.A corridor in the palace Enter GARDENER, BISHOP OF WINCHESTER, led by a page with a torch, meets Sir Thomas Lovell. It's one o'clock in Gardena, boy, isn't it? The page had already beaten one o'clock. Gardena This is the time for people to meet the needs of nature, not for entertainment, but for restoring our bodies with sweet sleep, and not for wasting time.Good night, Sir Thomas, where are you going so late? Lord Lovell, are you from the king? GARDENER Yes, Sir Thomas, he was playing cards with the Duke of Suffolk when I left. Lovell, I have to see him too, and he'll go to bed when it's late.leave.

Gardner, don't go, Sir Thomas Lovell, what can you do?You seem to be in a hurry.If you don't mind, I'm your friend, so tell me a little about what you've been up to so late.Things to be done in the middle of the night, like the elves that people say appear in the middle of the night, must be more amazing in nature than things to be done during the day. Lord Lovell, I love you more than my friends. I also trust you and dare to tell you a secret more important than this matter.When the queen gave birth, they all said it was very critical, and they were afraid that after giving birth, no one would be safe.

Gardner she bears fruit, and I do wish that in auspicious time be born, and not perish; but that tree, Sir Thomas, I wish it were dug up from the roots now. Lovell, I think I can agree with you, but my conscience says to me that she is a good person, a gentle woman, and worthy of our best wishes. Gardner But, sir, sir, listen to me, Sir Thomas, you and I always see eye to eye, I know you are wise and religious, and let me tell you, it's never going to get any better, no, Thomas Sir Lovell, believe me, unless her right-hand man, Cranmer and Cromwell, and herself, lie in their graves. Mr. Lovell, the two men you mention are the most watched men in the country.Cromwell, in addition to being the treasurer of the jewelry storehouse, was also appointed as a judge of the Supreme Court and in charge of the case file, and also as a secretary to the king; Add officials and promote them.The archbishop is the king's right-hand man and mouthpiece, who dares to say a word against him?

GARDENER Yes, yes, Sir Thomas, but one dares, and I myself have dared to speak against him.And, to tell you the truth, sir, I have succeeded in provoking the ministers of the Privy Council into believing that the Archbishop is a most dangerous and number one demon-monk--and I know he is, and they too Knowing that he was—he infected the entire country like a plague.The ministers were very angry and expressed their opinions to the king. The king has listened to our charges so far. This is also the king's grace and concern for state affairs.He has listened to our reasons, and foreseeing a terrible calamity, has ordered a council to be called to-morrow morning, and ordered the archbishop to be present.He is a rotten weed, Sir Thomas, and we must uproot him.I have delayed your business too long. Good night, Sir Thomas.

Lovell wishes you a long good night, my lord, and good-bye. (Exit GARDENER and BOY.) Enter King Henry and the Duke of Suffolk. King Henry Charles, I will play no more to-night, My mind is not on it, You are too much for me. My lord Suffolk, I have never won you before. King Henry seldom, Charles, if my mind were in the game of cards, you would never win me.Lovell, is there any news from the queen? Lovell I have not been able to report to her what you ordered in person, I entrusted her maid to convey your oracle, and the maid came back and said, The queen thanked her majesty, and sincerely beseeched you to pray for her.

King Henry, what did you say?Pray for her?What, did she cry out loud? That's what Lovell's maid said, and that every time she went into labor was like dying. King Henry's poor good queen. Suffolk May God relieve her of her burden, and give her a light labor, and an heir to please His Majesty. King Henry Charles, it is midnight now, go to bed, and when you say your evening prayers, don't forget where my poor queen is, and pray for her.Leave me alone, I want to think of things that I can't think of when I'm in company. Suffolk I wish your Majesty a good night, and I must not forget my good mistress when I say my prayers.

King Henry Good night, Charles. (Exit the Duke of Suffolk.) Enter Sir Anthony Denny. Mr. King Henry, how did it turn out? Your Majesty Danny, I have brought His Excellency the Archbishop by order. King Henry huh?Archbishop of Canterbury? Danny Yes, Your Majesty. King Henry, where is he, Danny? Danny is waiting outside. King Henry brought him in. (Exit Danny.) Lovell (aside) That's what the Bishop of Winchester said, and I'm just in time. Enter Cranmer and Danny. King Henry left the corridor. (Lovell seems to linger) Huh?As I have said, go away.What? (Exit Lovell and Danny.)

Cranmer (narrator) I'm terrified.Why is he frowning like this?This is his furious expression.Things are very ominous. How is King Henry, my lord?You are probably wondering why I summoned you. Cranmer (kneeling) It is my duty to be summoned to Your Majesty. King Henry Rise, my good Archbishop of Canterbury, come, let us take a walk together, for I have news for you.Come, come, let me hold your hand.My lord, what I have to say makes me sad, and I hate to repeat it.Lately, although I don't want to hear it, I have often heard people express serious, I say, serious dissatisfaction with you.After considering these opinions with my Privy Council, I have decided to invite you to attend the Privy Council early tomorrow morning.I know that before the meeting you will not be able to clear yourself easily, you will have to wait for further questioning, and you will have to appear in court to answer the charges against you, and at the same time, you will have to be patient and willing to live in the Tower of London prison.You and I are privy councilors, as brethren, and we ought to follow this procedure, or there would be no one to testify against you.

Cranmer (on his knees) I thank St. Lone, and I'm so grateful to have been given this opportunity to blow like a grain of corn, to separate the bran from the grain of my body.I know of no one who has suffered more slander and slander than my poor fellow. King Henry stand up, good Bishop of Canterbury, I am your friend, and your sincerity and honesty have taken root in my impression.Give me your hand, stand up and let's walk together.My Lady, what kind of man are you?My lord, I thought you would ask me to take some pains to reconcile you with your accusers, and to obey your request that I should not be imprisoned.

Lord Cranmer, I live in truth and honesty.If I lose truth and honesty, I defeat myself with my enemies; if I lose these two virtues, it is not worth losing my body.I am not afraid of anyone who speaks against me. KING HENRY Don't you know what people, all the world, think of you?You have many enemies, and they are not easy enemies, nor are their schemes easy; in disputes, justice and truth may not always be judged fairly, and those who have blackened their consciences will recruit some villains who have also blackened their consciences How easy would it be to be your counter-witness?This sort of thing has happened in the past.Those who oppose you are powerful, and their viciousness is considerable.What luck do you hope for in the presence of such a witness who breaks his oath?I am your master, you are my priest, and I have had no luck in this wicked world.Well, well, you mistook the cliff for a safe jumping off, and ardently pursued your own destruction.

Cranmer, may God and His Majesty bless my innocence, otherwise I will fall into the trap prepared for me by others. King Henry need not be disheartened, I will not yield, they dare not push an inch.Take it easy and be there early this morning for their interrogation.If they should convict you on some grounds, and put you in the Tower of London, you must do your best to plead your innocence by taking advantage of the circumstances.And if entreaty be in vain, give them this ring, and say before them that you will make me lord.Behold, the good man weeps, and on my honor he is honest.By my Lady, I swear his heart is pure, and there is no one in my kingdom who has a soul like him.Go ahead and do as I tell you. (Exit Cranmer.) He could hardly cry. Enter the old woman. The guard (inside) is back, what are you going to do? Old lady, I just won't come back, I have important news, what rules are not rules, my recklessness is the rule.May good angels soar over your head and shade your holy bow with their auspicious wings. King Henry I guessed your news from your look.The queen is born?right?A boy was born. OLD WOMAN Yes, my lord, a lovely boy.May the God of heaven bless her now and forever.She gave birth to a girl, and after giving birth to this girl, she will definitely give birth to a boy.Your Majesty, your queen invites you to visit her, and wants you to get acquainted with this new guest.She looks so much like you, like two cherries. King Henry Lovell! Lovell re-enters. Lord Lovell. King Henry rewarded her with a hundred marks.I went to see the Queen. (Down.) A hundred marks for old women?No, I need more.This amount of money is about the same for an ordinary errand.I have to be more serious, even if I swear, I have to ask him to come out.I said that the girl is like her, is this sentence worth this little money?I want more, or I take it back.Yes, strike while the iron is hot, I have to fight him to the end. (Exit two.) Antechamber of the Second Privy Council Room Enter Cranmer, followed by Servants and Pages. Cranmer, I hope I am not late, for my messenger from the Privy Council bids me come at once.What, the door is closed tightly?What does it mean?Hello!Is there anyone in there? On the Secretary. Cranmer, you don't know me, do you? Master Si Yan, I know you, but there is no way I know you. Cranmer why? Master Si Yan, I didn't send you a message, so you had to wait outside. Enter Physician Boots. So did Cranmer. BOTS (Aside) That's a trick, and I'm glad it just happened to happen to me.I will report to the king at once. CRANMER (Aside) That's Boots, the king's physician, And with what eager eyes he looked at me as he passed.I hope Heaven will not let him reveal my disgrace.It must have been deliberately arranged by some who hated me to extinguish my honor, may God change their minds, I have never actively aroused their malice.They would not have humiliated me, a fellow Privy Councilman, by making me wait outside the door with pageboys, messengers, and servants, if it hadn't been intentional.But only to meet their requirements, let me wait patiently. King Henry and Boots appear from the balcony window. Bots I come to show your majesty one of the strangest oddities. KING HENRY What is the matter, Boots? Bots I think the Emperor must have seen such things. Where is King Henry? Boots is over there, my lord.With the honor of the Archbishop of Canterbury, together with the servants, page boys, and attendants, he waited at the door for the audience. King Henry huh?Sure enough, it was him.Is this the respect they show their colleagues?Fortunately, there is one more person whose power is above them.At first I thought that they treated each other with sincerity, or at least with courtesy, so that someone of the archbishop's stature, and someone so close to me, would obey their orders and stand outside the door like a postman delivering official documents. waiting.By Santa Maria, Bots, this is a hoax.Let them go and draw the curtains.We'll hear more about that shortly. (same below.) Session Three Privy Council Room Enter Prime Minister, Duke of Suffolk, Duke of Norfolk, Earl of Surrey, House Secretary, Gardener, and Cromwell.The Prime Minister sits at the head of the case on the left, and an empty chair is placed above him for the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury.The rest of the people sat down on both sides in turn.Cromwell was secretary and took the last seat. Si Yan guards the gate. Mr. Secretary to the Prime Minister, please announce the subject of today's Privy Council. Cromwell My Excellencies, the main matter today is about the Archbishop of Canterbury. Gardener, does he know? Cromwell knew. Who's serving over there in Norfolk? Master Si Yan, do you mean outside? Gardener Yes. There is the archbishop outside Si Yan, who has been waiting for half an hour for orders. The prime minister let him in. Lord Si Yan can go in now. Enter Cranmer, and walks to the conference table. Prime Minister, my good Archbishop, I am saddened to see this chair empty and unoccupied as I sit here today.But we are all mortals, weak by nature, and easily swayed by the needs of the flesh; few are angels; and by weakness, by want of wisdom, a man like you, who ought to teach us, misbehaves himself, And it's not a minor misconduct.First, you disobeyed the king, and secondly you violated his laws. You and your monks are spreading throughout the kingdom, according to our information, new ideas that are evil and dangerous. These new ideas are heresy. Correction would do great harm. My honorable lords of Gardner, not only correct, but correct immediately.Just like a man who tames wild horses, he can't tame them just by holding them and walking them; he must cover their mouths with a strong bit and kick them with spurs to make them submit.What if we are too lenient, show childish pity for the honor of one man, and allow the plague to spread, and all medicines to cure the disease will be of no avail?Chaos, riots, the general corruption of the whole country by pestilence, as it was not so long ago in our neighbour, southern Germany, for which our sympathy is still fresh. Cranmer, my lords, hitherto, throughout the course of my life, and of my office, I have sought, and have made no small effort, to make the doctrine I profess and the strength of my A strong authority position does not run counter to it, is safe, and the purpose is always to do good things.My lords, I can frankly say that there is no one in the world who hates more and is more active against those who destroy the peace of society.I pray to heaven that the king will not meet someone less loyal than me.Those who take jealousy and evil as nourishment dare to take a bite when they meet the best people.I implore my lords, in your justice, let the plaintiffs in my case, whoever they may be, come face to face, and bring charges against me without scruple. This cannot be done, my lord Suffolk, as you are Minister in Council, and therefore no one dares to accuse you. Lord Gardenner, since we have more important matters to attend to, we shall speak directly to you.According to the emperor's decree, and with our consent, in order to better interrogate you, we have decided to escort you from here to the Tower of London Prison, where you will be reduced to a commoner. At that time, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than you expected. Many more dare to accuse you without fear. Cranmer, my dear Bishop of Winchester, I thank you, you will always be my dear friend.If your request is granted, I think you will not only want to be my judge, but also my jury, because you are very kind.I see your purpose, you want nothing more than to destroy me.Kindness and meekness are more proper to a priest, my lord, than ambition.Bring back those lost souls with gentle teachings and don't abandon any of them.No matter how hard you try my endurance, I have no doubt that I will clear myself up, just as you can do evil every day regardless.I have much more to say, but out of respect for your profession, I will be humble. My lord Gardner, my lord, you are not a decent Christian, that is the most obvious fact.Your smooth talk can be enough to reveal your emptiness and vulnerability to those who know you well. Lord Cromwell Winchester, I beg you to say that you are too sharp; men of such honor as the archbishop, in spite of their mistakes, should be respected for their past, Throwing stones into a well is cruel and unkind. Mr. Gardener, Mr. Secretary, I beg your pardon; you are the last person at this table who has the right to say such things. Cromwell Why, my lord? GARDENER Don't I know that you are for this new sect?You are not loyal. Cromwell was not loyal? Gardener Yes, I said "disloyal". Cromwell I wish you were half as loyal as I am, and people would pray for you and not be afraid of you. GARDENER I shall remember your bold words. Cromwell please.Remember your own daring life, too. Prime Minister This is too much, my lords, shut up, why don't you care about shame. GARDENER I'm done. Cromwell, I'm done too. Prime Minister, my lord, please listen, I think you are all agreed to escort you as a prisoner to the Tower of London, until we have the order of the king.Do all adults agree? All agree. Cranmer My lords, is there no other way of mercy than to send me to the Tower of London? Gardner What other measures would you like?You are surprisingly troublesome.The guards outside are ready.Enter a guard. Cranmer ready for me?Do you have to detain me as a traitor? Gardner has delivered him to you, and you will see to it that he will be delivered safely to the Tower of London. Cranmer, my lords, wait a moment, I still have a few words to say.Behold, my lords, this ring will free my case from the hands of tyrants, and will allow me to submit my case to the most honorable judge, my lord the king. Chamberlain This is the king's ring. Sally it's not fake. For God's sake Suffolk, it's the real ring.This incident is like a dangerous big rock. When we started to push it, I told you all that it would fall on us. My lords of Norfolk, do you think the king will let this man's little finger be wronged? It is now certain that the king, the chamberlain, valued this man's life far more than we can imagine.I regret not getting involved. Cromwell is an honest man, and only the devil and his disciples are jealous of him. When I first collected rumors and information against him, I thought you were just getting yourself burned by blowing up the fire.Now it really falls on yourselves. KING HENRY enters, and looks at them, and takes his seat. Lord Gardner, we thank God every day for giving us a sovereign who is not only good and wise, but also most religious.Filled with obedience to God, he made it his highest honor to strive for the good of the church.And, in order to reinforce this sacred duty, and as a token of tender concern, he attended the trial himself to hear the dispute between the Church and this heinous criminal. KING HENRY You have always been a master of improvised flattery, Bishop of Winchester.But you must understand that I have not come here to listen to such sycophantic talk, and in front of me, it is too thin and full of loopholes to cover up malice; you will never try to deceive me.You play a flattering pug trying to impress me by wagging your tongue, but no matter who you take me to be, one thing I know for sure is that you are naturally cruel and bloodthirsty. sex. (to Cranmer) You're a good man, sit down.Now I want to see who is the most arrogant and courageous, as long as he dares to shake his finger at you, I swear by all holy things, I think he might as well starve to death, and don't even think about it, I think you are not worthy to be a Minister of the Privy Council like him. Sully wondered if His Majesty would be willing to-- I am not at all, Mr. Henry King; I would have expected my Privy Council to be more or less sensible and wise, but I have found none of them.My lords, let this man, this good man--there are few of you worthy of such a title--this honest man, who waits outside the conference room door like a lice-infested errand, is it called Do you know?And his status is as high as yours.What a shame!Could it be that I entrusted you to do this, and you forget why?I give you the right to question him as a privy councilor, not as a servant.I can see that some of you, out of malice rather than loyalty, would love to torture him in any way you can at interrogation if you get the chance, but as long as I live you won't get this opportunity. Prime Minister awed Lord, allow me to explain a sentence or two for you.Regarding the matter of imprisoning him, the original purpose was just—please believe in people’s sincerity—to interrogate him and clear his name in front of the world. King Henry Come, come, my lords, respect him, and treat him well, as he deserves.I might as well put it this way, if the monarch can express his gratitude to his ministers, then I should thank him, because he loves me and serves me.Stop these unnecessary disturbances for me, and everyone hug him.My lords, don't be ashamed, we should all be friends.My lord Canterbury, I have a request that you must not refuse, that there is a beautiful little girl waiting for you to christen, and you must be her godfather and responsible for her. Cranmer, the most powerful monarch in the world today will also regard this honor as a great honor, but I am just one of your humble subjects, how can I bear it? King Henry Come on, come on, my lord, you are afraid to give the goddaughter twelve spoons, never mind, there are two dignified people to share with you, one is the old Duchess of Norfolk, and the other is Dowser Are they to your liking, Marchioness?Bishop of Winchester, I command you again, embrace this man, love this man. Gardner I obey with sincerity and brotherly love. Cranmer testifies to heaven how much I value the affirmation of this friendship. Good man King Henry, your tears of joy show the sincerity of your heart.I see now that you confirm what is often said in public opinion, "My Lord Canterbury will forever regard you as a friend, despite what he has done wrong." My lords, we have wasted our time, and I am anxious to make Children are baptized by Christians.My lords, I have united you in one body, and you shall be united forever; and thus I will grow stronger, and you will gain more and more honor. (same below.) Scene 4 Courtyard in the Palace There was chaos in the background.Enter the Palace Gatekeeper and his servants. Gatekeepers, stop yelling immediately, you bastards, you want to use the palace as a bear arena, right?You unruly slaves, stop shouting. The inner voice is good, Mr. door official, I am from the imperial kitchen. Gatekeeper, you are the man on the gallows, go and hang yourself, rascal, can you roar in this place?Find me six or seven hawthorn sticks, strong ones, these are thin sticks.I'm going to knock your heads out.You must see the baptism, don't you?You want drinks and snacks here, you unruly bastards? Be patient, my lord servant.Unless we blast them from the door with cannon, it's no more possible to drive them away than to put them to bed on the first of May morning, no.Trying to drive them away is as hard as pushing St Paul's Cathedral. Gate Officer So how did they get in, these damned things? Servant, I don't know how this tide came in.My lord, I have had a lot of use with this strong four-foot stick, and I have spared no one, and you see this is the only knot left of this stick. Officer, you didn't do anything. Servant I am not Samson the Hercules, Sir Guy, or Colbran, I can mow them like weeds.But if there is anyone with a head who can be beaten, whether young or old, male or female, bastard or concubine, if anyone does not get beaten by me, then let me beat you. I can't eat meat all my life, but if I want to give up meat, I won't give up a cow. Did you hear the inner voice, Mr. Door Officer? Door officer, you son of a bitch, I'm here to deal with you.Close the door for me. Servant, what do you want me to do? What does the gatekeeper want you to do?Knock them down for me one by one.This is not a school ground for military training.Why are these bitches surrounding us like this?Could it be that there are Indians with big guys on the exhibition in the palace?God bless me, where did such a bunch of wild bastards come from?I swear by my Christian conscience, after this baptism, I don’t necessarily have to raise thousands of little bastards before being baptized.Well, father and godfather are all here. The servant will have to ask for a bigger spoon, sir.There is a guy not far from the door, his face looks like a coppersmith, half the heat of dog days is gathered on his nose, people standing around him are like standing on the equator, they don't have to look for other There's a way of redemption--this fire dragon, I hit him on the head three times, and three times he sprayed me with the stuff in his nose, and he stood there like a mortar to bomb us.Next to him was the wife of a woolen shop owner, who had no brains, and scolded me so loudly that a hollow hat on her head fell off, and she scolded me for causing such a big mess like.Once I didn't hit the broom star, but this woman, and she shouted, "Bring a stick", and I saw forty or so sticks coming from far away to save her. She, these are the future hopes of the river street where she lives; and they come up, and I hold my ground, and at last they come and meet me, and I hold them back, when all of a sudden a bunch of kids behind them, Like the stragglers, who threw pebbles at me, I had to put away my honor and let them take the fort, and I reckoned the devil had done them a favour. The gatekeepers and these young fellows are dedicated to making noises in the theater garden, fighting over the leftover apples, the audience can't stand it, only the audience at the execution ground in the Tower of London, and their brothers, the devil's minions on the pier , can bear it.I still have a few of these boys in the prison, let them have fun there for a few days, and let two guards treat them to a whip. Enter the Chamberlain. Lord Chamberlain, what a crowd!There are more to come!They came from all directions, as if we had a fair here.What about the gatekeeper?These lazybones.Looking at the good things you do, how did you recruit such a large group of hooligans?Are these your good friends from out of town?When the family members come back from the baptism, there is enough room to walk! The door official said, we are all raised by mortal wombs, we have done everything that these few of us can do, and they almost didn't tear them to pieces.They can't be controlled even if the army is brought in. Ministers of the palace, if the emperor blames me for this matter, I will definitely put your feet in the shackles and execute it immediately, and I will never forgive you; and I will also impose a heavy fine on your heads to punish your dereliction of duty.You're lazy, you just stay here to tease these drunks, not doing your job.Listen, the horn is sounding, they've come back from their baptism, go and break up this crowd, make a way for them to pass through, or I'll put you all in Marshawsi jail, let you go there Play for two months. The door official makes way for the princess. Servant, you big man, stand aside, or I will knock your head sore. Hey door officer, you who wear velvet, sit on the railing, or I will push you out of the railing. (Exit.) Scene 5 Palace The trumpeters blow their trumpets.The two councilors of the City of London, the Mayor of London, the Master of Ceremonies, Cranmer and the Duke of Norfolk hold the ceremonial staff, and the Duke of Suffolk and the two nobles hold the baptismal gifts on the goblet, accompanied by them.Next, the four nobles raised the canopy and embraced the godmother, the Duchess of Norfolk. The lady held the baby in her arms and wore gorgeous cloaks and other clothes. A noble lady held the lady's train.Enter the second godmother, the Marchioness of Dorset, and other noble ladies.After a group of people patrolled the stage, the chief of ceremonies spoke. The priest of ceremonies wishes the best God to bestow great blessings and long life on Elizabeth, the noble and great princess of England, so that she will live happily ever after. Play the horn.Enter KING HENRY and the guard. Cranmer (kneeling down) My two noble godmothers and I would like to wish the emperor and the virtuous queen a long life of happiness. God has blessed such a most beautiful princess. May there be endless joy for parents. KING HENRY Thank you, my lord.what is her name Cranmer Elizabeth. King Henry Rise, my lord. (Kiss the princess) This kiss expresses my blessing to you.May God bless you, I commit your life into God's hands. Cranmer Amen. King Henry, dear godparents, your gifts are too rich, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and when the princess can speak, she will certainly express her gratitude. Your Majesty Cranmer, let me say a few words, I was ordered to speak by heaven.No one should take what I say as flattery, because it is true.This royal princess—may God be always around her—has been seen, though still in her infancy, to bring endless happiness to the land, and to ripen and bear fruit with the passage of time, she She will be--though few of us now living can witness this good thing--be the model of her contemporaries, and of all future generations.She has a pure soul, and the Queen of Sheba in the Bible is not as thirsty for wisdom and virtue as she is.In this princess the greatness of all kings was gathered in one body, and she had all the virtues of a good man, and these virtues must always increase.Truth will nurse her like a nurse, and pious, God-believing thoughts will always teach her like a master.She will be loved and feared; her own people will bless her, and her enemies will tremble before her, bowing their heads in mourning like the overturned wheat in the field.Good things will increase as she grows up. During her reign, everyone can safely eat the food he grows under his own bean trellis and melon shed, and sing songs of peace and joy to his neighbors.All will have a true understanding of God; and those around her will learn from her what is perfect honor, and by this will determine their rank, not by blood.Such a peaceful life will never disappear with her disappearance. On the contrary, like a solitary bird and phoenix reborn from its own ashes after death, the princess raised her from heaven. Called back from this dark cloud, it shall also bequeath an auspicious heir, who shall rise like a star from her glorious, divine ashes, and win fame to rival her, forever and ever. .The same peace, abundance, love, truth, and fear that once served this heavenly princess will serve her heir, and cling to him like the kudzu tree.Where the red sun of heaven shines, his glory and great name will also come, and a new kingdom will be established.He shall prosper, as the mountain pine shades the surrounding plains with its luxuriant branches.All this, the children and grandchildren of our children and grandchildren will surely see and thank God. King Henry What you say is fascinating. Cranmer She shall live to her age, and it shall be England's good fortune; her days are long, and each day shall end with a good deed.After this, I will say no more: but she will have a thousand years, inevitably, the saints of heaven must call her; then she will still be a virgin, like a spotless lily, buried Entering Qingzuo, the whole world will mourn her. My lord Archbishop King Henry, Thou hast secured my prosperity this time; I may say nothing till this happy child is born.This comforting prophecy of yours pleases me, and when I am in heaven I shall see what this child has done, and praise my Maker.I thank you all.Good lord mayor, and your good colleagues, I thank you for your kindness; and your baptisms have done me so much honor, and I shall thank you.My lords, please go first, you must all go and see the queen, and she must thank you, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable.Today, everyone forget about the business at home, everyone stays, this little doll turns today into a holiday.
