28222585Of his oath breaking, which he mended thus,

28232586By now forswearing that he is forsworne,

28242587He cals vs rebels, traitors, and will scourge

28252588With haughtie armes this hatefull name in vs.

28272589Doug. Arme gentlemen, to armes, for I haue throwne

28282590A braue defiance in king Henries teeth,

28442606Making you euer better then his praise,

28452607By still dispraising praise valued with you,

28462608And which became him like a prince indeed,
