It's from Act 1 Scene 1 of Henry VIII. It's said by the Duke of Buckingham. The full quotation is as follows:

This holy fox,

Or wolf, or both,-for he is equal ravenous

As he is subtle, and as prone to mischief

As able to perform't; his mind and place

Infecting one another, yea, reciprocally-

Only to show his pomp as well in France

As here at home, suggests the king our master

To this last costly treaty, the interview,

That swallow'd so much treasure, and like a glass

Did break i' the rinsing.
