Page 326 - Declare its nature," said Henry. " It is a citation," replied Wolsey, " enjoining your highness to appear by attorney in the papal court, under a penalty of ten thousand ducats." And he presented a parchment, stamped with the great seal of Rome, to the king, who glanced his eye fiercely over it, and then dashed it to the ground, with an explosion of fury terrible to hear and to witness. " Ha! by Saint George!" he cried; "am I as nothing that the pope dares to insult me thus?" " It is a mere judicial...
Page 256 - As thus; Alexander died, Alexander was buried, Alexander returneth to dust ; the dust is earth ; of earth we make loam : And why of that loam, whereto he was converted, might they not stop a beer-barrel...
