NEW INTRIGUES.
Henry Howard was dead; and now one would have thought the king might be satisfied and quiet, and that sleep would no longer flee from his eyelids, since Henry Howard, his great rival, had closed his eyes forever; since Henry Howard was no longer there, to steal away his crown, to fill the world with the glory of his deeds, to dim the genius of the king by his own fame as a poet.
But the king was still dissatisfied.

Sleep still fled from his couch.
The cause of this was that his work was only just half done.

Henry Howard's father, the Duke of Norfolk, still lived.

The cause of this was, that the king was always obliged to think of this powerful rival; and these thoughts chased sleep from his eyelids.
