May be that Iohn in conscience or in fear To offer wrong where you impugn the ill, Will send such calm conditions back to France, As shall rebate the edge of fearful wars: If so, forbearance is a deed well done. Ah Mother, possession of a Crown is much, And Iohn as I have heard reported of, For present vantage would adventure far. The world can witness in his Brother's time, He took upon him rule any almost reign: Then must it follow as a doubtful point, That he ●eresigne the rule unto his Nephew. I rather think the menace of the world Sounds in his ears as threats of no esteem, And sooner would he scorn Europa's power, Than lose the smallest title he enjoys; For questionless he is an Englishman. Why are the English peerless in compare? Brave Cavaliers as ere that Island bred, Have lived and dyde, and dared and done enough, Yet never graced their Country for the cause: England is England, yielding good and bad, And John of England is as other Iohns. Trust me young Arthur, if thou like my reed, Praise thou the French that help thee in this need. The Englishman hath little cause I trow, To spend good speeches on so proud a foe. Why Arthur here's his spoil that now is gone, Who when he lived outroude his Brother Iohn: But hasty curs that lie so long to catch, Come halting home, and meet their overmatch. But news comes now, here's the Ambassador. And in good time, welcome my Lord Chattilion: What news? will Iohn accord to our command. Be I not brief to tell your Highness all, He will approach to interrupt my tale: For one self bottom brought us both to France. He on his part will try the chance of war, And if his words infer assured truth, Will lose himself and all his followers, Ere yield unto the least of your demands. The Mother Queen she taketh on amain 'Gainst Lady Constance, counting her the cause That doth effect this claim to Albion, Conjuring Arthur with a Grandames care, To leave his Mother; willing him submit His state to Iohn and her protection, Who (as she saith) are studious for his good: More circumstance the season intercepts: This is the sum, which briefly I have shown. This bitter wind must nip some body's spring, Sudden and brief, why so, 'tis harvest weather. But say Chattilion, what persons of account are with him? Of England Earl Pembroke and Salisbury, The only noted men of any name. Next them a Bastard of the Kings deceased, A hardy wild head, tough and venturous, With many other men of high resolve. Then is there with them Elinor Mother Queen, And Blanche her niece daughter to the King of Spain: These are the prime Birds of this hot adventure.

May be that Iohn in conſcience or in feare To offer wrong where you impugne the ill, Will ſend ſuch calme conditions backe to Fraunce, As ſhall rebate the edge of fearefull warres: If ſo, forbearance is a deede well done. Ah Mother, poſſeſſion of a Crowne is muc, And Iohn as I haue heard reported of, For preſent vantage would aduenture farre. The world can witnes in his Brothers time, He tooke vpon him rule any almoſt raigne: Then muſt it follow as a doubtfull poynt, That hee ereſigne the rule vnto his Nephew. I rather thinke the menace of the world Sounds in his eares as threats of no eſtéeme, And ſooner would he ſcorne Europaes power, Than looſe the ſmalleſt title he enioyes; For queſtionles he is an Engliſhman. Why are the Engliſh péereles in compare? Braue Caualiers as ere that Iland bred, Haue liude and dyde, and darde and done inough, Yet neuer gracde their Countrey for the cauſe: England is England, yéelding good and bad, And John of England is as other Iohns. Truſt me yong Arthur, if thou like my réede, Praiſe thou the French that helpe thee in this neede. The Engliſhman hath little cauſe I trow, To ſpend good ſpeaches on ſo proud a foe. Why Arthur heres his ſpoyle that now is gon, Who when he liude outroude his Brother Iohn: But haſtie curres that lie ſo long to catch, Come halting home, and meete their ouermatch. But newes comes now, heres the Embaſſadour. And in good time, welcome my Lord Chattilion: What newes? will Iohn accord to our commaund. Be I not briefe to tell your Highnes all, He will approach to interrupt my tale: For one ſelfe bottome brought vs both to Fraunce. He on his part will try the chaunce of warre, And if his words inferre aſſured truth, Will looſe himſelfe and all his followers, Ere yéeld vnto the leaſt of your demaunds. The Mother Quéene ſhe taketh on amaine Gainſt Ladie Constance, counting her the cauſe That doth effect this claime to Albion, Coniuring Arthur with a Grandames care, To leaue his Mother; willing him ſubmit His ſtate to Iohn and her protection, Who (as ſhe ſaith) are ſtudious for his good: More circumſtance the ſeaſon intercepts: This is the ſumme, which briefly I haue ſhowne. This bitter winde muſt nip ſome bodies ſpring, Sodaine and briefe, why ſo, tis harueſt weather. But ſay Chattilion, what perſons of accompt are with him? Of England Earle Pembrooke and Salsbury, The onely noted men of any name. Next them a Baſtard of the Kings deceaſt, A hardy wilde head, tough and venturous, With many other men of high reſolue. Then is there with them Elinor Mother Queene, And Blanch her Néece daughter to the King of Spaine: Theſe are the prime Birds of this hot aduenture.
