Author: William Shakespeare
Not Peer Reviewed
The Second part of
Your pennes to launces, and your tongue diuine,
1920To a lowd trumpet, and a point of warre?

Briefly, to this end we are all diseasde:
The dangers of the daie's but newly gone,
VVhose memorie is written on the earth,

Of euery minutes instance (present now,)

Not to breake peace, or any braunch of it,
But to establish heere a peace indeede,

That feele the bruises of the daies before?
And suffer the condition of these times,
To lay a heauy and vnequall hand
Vpon our honors.
West. But this is meere digression from my purpose.
Here come I from our princely generall,
To know your griefes, to tell you from his Grace,
That he will giue you audience, and wherein
2010It shall appeere that your demaunds are iust,
You shall enioy them, euery thing set off
That might so much as thinke you enemies.
Mowbray But he hath forcde vs to compel this offer,
And
