Your highness must be looking forward with great anticipation to your wedding? I hear the king was a great horseman... in his time. And famous for his beautiful mistresses.
Don't tease me. I don't like it.
Will you like it when an old man tries to make love to you?
Your grace goes too far. Already.
Gospel says the truth will make you free.
Now you are blasphemous!
[to Norfolk] There will come a point when the King's belief in his minister will hang in the balance and then, Your Grace, we shall drop our truth into the scales... and the scales will fall.
Mister Wyatt.
Your Majesty.
I hear you're a poet.
I write poems, I don't know how to be "a poet".
I've read some, I like them.
My Lord, I don't know what to say.
[whispers in Wyatt's ear] Were you in love with Anne Boleyn?
I...
Cardinal Wolsey tells me you were once engaged.
No, that's not true.
Did you love her?
Lady Anne is so beautiful, it is the duty of every man to love her. Of course I loved her, but from a distance. Personally, I have a wife.
We have a new visitor at court, Princess Marguerite of Nevarre. I was saying to myself yesterday, I found her a very beautiful young woman with a very sweet and yielding disposition, She confessed to great admiration for Your Majesty. Should I, arrange ...?
Yes! Yes, do it.
Well, at least our alliance with the emperor is popular, although sometimes I ask myself why that should be so.
Because he's not French!
Quite.
Perhaps you don't understand. But i can't sleep. I can hardly breathe, for thinking of you. Your image is before my eyes every waking second. I almost believe that I would sacrifice my kingdom for an hour in your arms... I beg you, name some place that we can meet, and when... where I an show you truly an affection which is beyond a common affection. Written with the hand of your servant, Henry.
