You
know his nature,
That he’s revengeful; and I know his sword
Hath a sharp edge: it’s long, and, ‘t may
be said,
It reaches far; and where ‘twill not
extend,
Thither he darts it.
Duke of Norfolk
King Henry the Eighth Act I, Scene i, Line 110
The Duke of Norfolk is talking about Cardinal Wolsey. He is warning the Duke of Buckingham to be wary of the Cardinal. Wolsey has pulled a Grima Wormtongue on the king, and whilst Henry has not been incapacitated the way Theoden was, Wolsey nonetheless has a very strong hold on him. The only difference between the cardinal and Grima Wormtongue is that, unlike Grima, Cardinal Wolsey serves only himself. Unfortunately for Buckingham, it serves Wolsey's interests to have the Duke taken out of the picture.
Be careful Buckingham, Gandalf’s not going to be showing up to save you!
Uh oh, batten down the hatches!
He’s started mixing in his crazy Tolkien references again!
