And girts our temples with triumphant ioies

Are landed, and meane once more to menace vs.
Glo. Oxford and Summerset are fled to hir,
And tis likelie if she haue time to breath,
Her faction will be full as strong as ours.
Edw. We are aduertisde by our louing friends,

Bright Summers daie, sharpe winters
Showers will marre our hope for haie. Ex. Omnes.
