SCENE XII.

Warwick.
  Proud,—and Rich Cardinal!—No wonder Thou art proud:
Thy Order can be Proud and Poor: In Shew,
Most humble; in Heart, most arrogant.—The Monk,
That asks an Alms, is a proud, lazy Varlet.—
Fie upon this Mockery!—
  O, might I live to bless the happy Day,
When Rome, no more, usurps tyrannick Sway!—
Or, That deny'd; may our Descendents see
The Land, throughout, from Superstition free:
With Kings, who fill an independent Throne,
And know no Power, Supreme, beside their Own!
End of the Third ACT.
