SCENE IV.
Wol.
What should this mean?
&plquo;What sudden anger's this? how have I reap'd it?
&plquo;He parted frowning from me, as if ruin
&plquo;Leap'd from his eyes. So looks the chafed lion
&plquo;Upon the daring huntsman that has gall'd him,
&plquo;Then makes him nothing. I must read this paper:
I fear, the story of his anger—'tis so—
This paper has undone me—'tis th' account
-- 505 --
Of all that world of wealth I've drawn together
For mine own ends, indeed to gain the Popedom,
And see my friends in Rome. O negligence!
Fit for a fool to fall by. What cross devil
Made me put this main secret in the packet
I sent the King? is there no way to cure this?
No new device to beat this from his brains?
I know 'twill stir him strongly; yet I know
A way, if it take right, in spight of fortune
Will bring me off again. What's this—To the Pope?
The letter, as I live, with all the business
I writ to's holiness. Nay, then farewel;
I've touch'd the highest point of all my greatness,
And from that full meridian of my glory,
I haste now to my setting. &plquo;I shall fall
&plquo;Like a bright exhalation in the evening,
&plquo;And no man see me more.
