Henry VIII by William Shakespeare

Henry VIII, All Is True

written by William Shakespeare

KATHRINE "Sir, I desire you do mr right and justice,

And to bestow your pity on me: for

I am a most poor woman, and a stranger,

Born out of your dominions', having here

No judge indifferent, nor no more assurance

Of equal friendship and proceeding. Alas, sir,

In what have I offended you? what cause

Hath my behaviour given to your displeasure

That thus you should proceed to put me off,

And take your good grace from me? Heaven witness,

I have been to you a true and humble wife,

At all times to your will comfortable,

Ever in fear to kindle your dislike,

Yea, subject to your countenance, glad or sorry

As I saw it inclined. When was the hour

I ever contradicted your desire,

Or made it not mine too?"

Act II Scene IV
