We will our youth lead on to higher fields, And draw no swords but what are sanctified: Our navy is addressed, our power collected, Our substitutes in absence well invested, And every thing lies level to our wish, Only we want a little personal strength: And pause us till these rebels now afoot, Come underneath the yoke of government. Both which we doubt not, but your majesty Shall soon enjoy. Humphrey my son of Gloster, where is the prince your brother?
