Douck France ettes a vous: Den France shall be mine. Et je suyues a vous. And you will be to me. Wilt believe me Kate? 'tis easier for me To conquer the kingdom, them to speak so much More French. A your Majesty has false France enough To deceive de best Lady in France. No faith Kate not I But Kate, In plain terms, do you love me? I cannot tell. No, can any of your neighbours tell? I'll ask them. Come Kate, I know you love me. And soon when you are in your closet, You'll question this Lady of me. But I pray thee sweet Kate, use me mercifully, Because I love thee cruelly. That I shall die Kate, is sure: But for thy love, by the Lord never. What Wench, A strait back will grow crooked. A round eye will grow hollow. A great leg will wax small, A curled pate prove bald: But a good heart Kate, is the sun and the moon, And rather the Sun and not the Moon: And therefore Kate take me, Take a soldier: take a soldier, Take a King. Therefore tell me Kate, wilt thou have me? Dat is as please the King my father. Nay it will please him: Nay it shall please him Kate. And upon that condition Kate I'll kiss you. O mon du je ne voudroy fair quelke chosse Pour toute le monde, Ce ne point votree fachion en fovor. What says she Lady? Dat it is not de fashion en France, For de maids, before da be married to May foy ie oblye, what is to bassie? To kiss, to kiss. O that 'tis not the Fashion in Frannce, for the maids to kiss Before they are married. Owye see votree grace. Well, we'll break that custom. Therefore Kate patience perforce and yield. Before God Kate, you have witchcraft In your kisses: And may persuade with me more, Then all the French Council. Your father is returned. How now my Lords? Brother of England, We have orered the Articles, And have agreed to all that we in schedule had. Only he hath not subscribed this, Wh're your majesty demands, That the king of France having any occasion To write for matter of grant, Shall name your highness, in this form: And with this addition in French. Nostre tresher filz, Henry Roy D'anglaterre, E hear de France. And thus in Latin: Preclarissimus filius noster Henricus Rex Anglie, Et heres Francie. Nor this have we so nicely stood upon, But you fair brother may entreat the same. Why then let this among the rest, Have his full course: And withal, Your daughter Katherine in marriage, This and what else, Your majesty shall crave. God that disposeth all, give you much joy. Why then fair Katherine, Come give me thy hand: Our marriage will we present solemnize, And end our hatred by a bond of love. Then will I swear to Kate, and Kate to me: And may our vows once made, unbroken Bee.
