:Alack! why am I sent for to a king :Before I have shook off the regal thoughts :Wherewith I reign'd? I hardly yet have learn'd :To insinuate, flatter, bow, and bend my knee. :Give sorrow leave awhile to tutor me :To this submission. Yet I well remember :The favours of these men: were they not mine? :Did they not sometime cry 'All hail!' to me? :So Judas did to Christ: but he, in twelve, :Found truth in all but one; I, in twelve thousand, none. :God save the King! Will no man say, amen? :Am I both priest and clerk? Well then, amen. :God save the King! although I be not he; :And yet, amen, if heaven do think him me. :To do what service am I sent for hither?
