To meet the least occasion that may give me
Remembrance of my father-in-law, the Duke,
To be revenged on him.

SUFFOLK
Which of the peers
Have uncontemned gone by him, or at least [10]

Strangely neglected? When did he regard
The stamp of nobleness in any person
Out of himself?

CHAMBERLAIN
My lords, you speak your pleasures.

What he deserves of you and me I know;
What we can do to him (though now the time [15]
Gives way to us) I much fear. If you cannot
Bar his access to th’King, never attempt

Anything on him, for he hath a witchcraft
Over the King in’s tongue.

NORFOLK
O, fear him not;
His spell in that is out: the King hath found [20]

Matter against him that for ever mars
The honey of his language. No, he’s settled,
Not to come off, in his displeasure.

SURREY
Sir,
I should be glad to hear such news as this

Once every hour.

NORFOLK
Believe it, this is true. [25]
In the divorce his contrary proceedings
Are all unfolded, wherein he appears

As I would wish mine enemy.
