Philip not so, but I will to the Prince, And bring him face to face to parley with you. Lord Salisbury, yourself shall march with me. So shall we bring these troubles to an end. Sweet uncle, if thou love thy Sovereign, Let not a stone of Swinstead Abbey stand, But pull the house about the friars ears: For they have killed my Father and my King. Lewes of France, young Henry England's king Requires to know the reason of the claim That thou canst make to any thing of his. King Iohn that did offend, is dead and gone, See where his breathless trunk in presence lies, And he as heir apparent to the crown Is now succeeded in his Father's room. Lewes, what law of arms doth lead thee thus, To keep possession of my lawful right? Answer; in fine, if thou wilt take a peace, And make surrender of my right again, Or try thy title with the dint of sword: I tell thee Dolphin, Henry fears thee not. For now the Barons cleave unto their King, And what thou hast in England they did get. Henry of England, now that Iohn is dead, That was the chiefest enemy to France, I may the rather be induced to peace. But Salisbury, and you Barons of the Realm, This strange revolt agrees not with the oath That you on Bury Altar lately swore. Nor did the oath your Highness there did take Agree with honour of the Prince of France. My Lord, what answer make you to the King? Faith Philip this I say: It boots not me, Nor any Prince, nor power of Christendom To seek to win this Island Albion, Unless he have a party in the Realm By treason for to help him in his wars. The Peers which were the party on my side, Are fled from me: then boots not me to fight, But on conditions, as mine honour will, I am contented to depart the Realm. On what conditions will your Highness yield? That shall we think upon by more advice. Then Kings & Princes, let these broils have end, And at more leisure talk upon the League. Mean while to Worster let us bear the King, And there inter his body, as beseems. But first, in sight of Lewes heir of France, Lords take the Crown, and set it on his head, That by succession is our lawful King. Thus England's peace begins in Henry's reign, And bloody wars are closed with happy league. Let England live but true within itself, And all the world can never wrong her State. Lewes, thou shalt be bravely shipped to France, For never Frenchman got of English ground The twentieth part that thou hast conquered. Dolphin, thy hand; to Worster we will march: Lords all, lay hands to bear your Sovereign With obsequies of honour to his grave: If England's Peers and people join in one, Nor Pope, nor France, nor Spain can do them wrong.

Philip not ſo, but I will to the Prince, And bring him face to face to parley with you. Lord Salsbury, your ſelfe ſhall march with me. So ſhall we bring theſe troubles to an end. Sweet vncle, if thou loue thy Soueraigne, Let not a ſtone of Swinstead Abbey ſtand, But pull the houſe about the Friers eares: For they haue kill'd my Father and my King. Lewes of Fraunce, yong Henry Englands king Requires to know the reaſon of the claime That thou canſt make to any thing of his. King Iohn that did offend, is dead and gone, See where his breathleſſe trunke in preſence lies, And he as heire apparant to the crowne Is now ſucceeded in his Fathers roome. Lewes, what law of armes doth leade thee thus, To kéepe poſſeſſion of my lawfull right? Anſwere; in fine, if thou wilt take a peace, And make ſurrender of my right againe, Or trie thy title with the dint of ſword: I tell thee Dolphin, Henry feares thee not. For now the Barons cleaue vnto their King, And what thou haſt in England they did get. Henry of England, now that Iohn is dead, That was the chiefeſt enemie to Fraunce, I may the rather be inducde to peace. But Salsbury, and you Barons of the Realme, This ſtrange reuolt agrees not with the oath That you on Bury Altare lately ſware. Nor did the oath your Highneſſe there did take Agree with honour of the Prince of Fraunce. My Lord, what anſwer make you to the King? Faith Philip this I ſay: It bootes not me, Nor any Prince, nor power of Chriſtendome To ſeeke to win this Iland Albion, Vnleſſe he haue a partie in the Realme By treaſon for to help him in his warres. The Peeres which were the partie on my ſide, Are fled from me: then bootes not me to fight, But on conditions, as mine honour wills, I am contented to depart the Realme. On what conditions will your Highnes yeeld? That ſhall we thinke vpon by more aduice. Then Kings & Princes, let theſe broils haue end, And at more leiſure talke vpon the League. Meane while to Worster let vs beare the King, And there interre his bodie, as beſeemes. But firſt, in ſight of Lewes heire of Fraunce, Lords take the Crowne, and ſet it on his head, That by ſucceſſion is our lawfull King. Thus Englands peace begins in Henries raigne, And bloodie warres are cloſde with happie league. Let England liue but true within it ſelfe, And all the world can neuer wrong her State. Lewes, thou ſhalt be brauely ſhipt to Fraunce, For neuer Frenchman got of Engliſh ground The twentith part that thou haſt conquered. Dolphin, thy hand; to Worster we will march: Lords all, lay hands to beare your Soueraigne With obſequies of honour to his graue: If Englands Peeres and people ioyne in one, Nor Pope, nor France, nor Spaine can do them wrong.
