Well think we Harry strong: And strongly arm us to prevent the foe. My Lord here is an Ambassador From the King of England. Bid him come in. You see this chase is hotly followed Lords. My gracious father, cut up this English short, Self love my Liege is not so vile a thing, As self neglecting. From our brother England? From him, and thus he greets your Majesty: He wils you in the name of God Almighty, That you divest yourself and lay apart That borrowed title, which by gift of heaven, Of law of nature, and of nations, longs To him and to his heirs, namely the crown And all wide stretched titles that belongs Unto the Crown of France, that you may know 'tis no sinister, nor no awkward claim, Picked from the wormhole of old vanished days, Nor from the dust of old oblivion rack, He sends you these most memorable lines, In every branch truly demonstrated: Willing you overlook this pedigree, And when you find him evenly derived From his most famed and famous ancestors, Edward the third, he bids you then resign Your crown and kingdom, indirectly held From him, the native and true challenger. If not, what follows? Bloody constraint, for if you hide the crown Even in your hearts, there will he rake for it: Therefore in fierce tempest is he coming, In thunder, and in earthquake, like a Ioue, That if requiring fail, he will compel it: And on your heads turns he the widows tears, The Orphans cries, the dead men's bones, The pining maidens groans. For husbands, fathers, and distressed lovers, Which shall be swallowed in this controversy. This is his claim, his threatening, and my message▪ Unless the Dolphin be in presence here, To whom expressly we bring greeting too. For the Dolphin? I stand here for him, What to hear from England. Scorn & defiance, slight regard, contempt, And any thing that may not misbecome The mighty sender, doth he prize you at: Thus saith my king. Unless your father's highness Sweeten the bitter mock you sent his Majesty, he'll call you to so loud an answer for it, That caves and wombely vaults of France Shall chide your trespass, and return your mock, In second accent of his ordinance. Say that my father render fair reply, It is against my will: For I desire nothing so much, As odds with England. And for that cause according to his youth I did present him with those Paris balls. he'll make your Paris Lover shake for it, Were it the mistress Court of mighty Europe, And be assured, you'll find a difference As we his subjects have in wonder found: Between his younger days and these he musters now, Now he weighs time even to the latest grain, Which you shall find in your own losses If he stay in France.
