THURLOW communicates the intention of Parliament toC
offer CROMWELL the crownA

CROMWELL And is it mine And have my feet at lengthD
Attained the summit of the rock i' the sandE
-
THURLOW And yet my lord you have long reignedF
-
CROM Nay nayA
Power I have 'joyed in sooth but not the nameG
Thou smilest Thurlow Ah thou little know'stH
What hole it is Ambition digs i' th' heartI
What end most seeming empty is the markJ
For which we fret and toil and dare How hardK
With an unrounded fortune to sit downA
Then what a lustre from most ancient timesL
Heaven has flung o'er the sacred head of kingsM
King Majesty what names of power No kingN
And yet the world's high arbiter The thingN
Without the word no handle to the bladeO
Away the empire and the name are oneA
Alack thou little dream'st how grievous 'tisP
Emerging from the crowd and at the topQ
Arrived to feel that there is something stillR
Above our heads something nothing no matterB
That word is everythingN
