Second Gentleman

Third Gentleman

Thomas Cromwell;
A man in much esteem with the king, and truly
A worthy friend. The king has made him master
O' the jewel house,
And one, already, of the privy council.

Third Gentleman

Is to the court, and there ye shall be my guests:
Something I can command. As I walk thither,
I'll tell ye more.

Both

You may command us, sir.
Exeunt
