Ely. This would drink deep.
Canterbury. 'Twould drink the cup and all.

Canterbury. The courses of his youth promis'd it

And whipp'd th' offending Adam out of him,
Leaving his body as a paradise 30
T' envelop and contain celestial spirits.
Never was such a sudden scholar made;
Never came reformation in a flood
With such a heady currance, scouring faults,
Nor never Hydra-headed willfulness 35
So soon did lose his seat, and all at once,
As in this king.
Ely. We are blessed in the change.
Canterbury. Hear him but reason in divinity,
And, all-admiring, with an inward wish
You would desire the king were made a prelate. 40
Hear him debate of commonwealth affairs,
You would say it hath been all in all his study.
List his discourse of war, and you shall hear

22 fair regard kind consideration. 24 courses . . . youth N.
26 mortified killed. 28 Consideration reflection, spiritual contem-
plation. 29 offending Adam N. 33 flood N. 34 heady currance
headlong current. 35 Hydra-headed the Hydra was a many-
headed monster killed by Hercules. 36 his seat its power. 38
divinity theology. 43 List listen to.
