28832034Quee. Welcome to England, my louing friends of Frãce,

28842035And welcome Summerset, and Oxford too.

28852036Once more haue we spread our sailes abroad,

28862037And though our tackling be almost consumde,

28872038And Warwike as our maine mast ouerthrowne,

28882039Yet warlike Lords raise you that sturdie post,

28892040That beares the sailes to bring vs vnto rest,

29022041And Ned and I as willing Pilots should

29032042For once with carefull mindes guide on the sterne,

29042043To beare vs through that dangerous gulfe

29052044That heretofore hath swallowed vp our friends.

29312045Prince. And if there be, as God forbid there should,

29322046Amongst vs a timorous or fearefull man,

29262047Let him depart before the battels ioine,

29282048Least he in time of need intise another,

29302049And so withdraw the souldiers harts from vs,

29292050I will not stand aloofe and bid you fight,

2051But with my sword presse in the thickest thronges,

2052And single Edward from his strongest guard,

2053And hand to hand enforce him for to yeeld,

2054Or leaue my bodie as witnesse of my thoughts.

29332055Oxf. Women and children of so high resolue,

29342056And Warriors faint, why twere perpetuall

29352057Shame? Oh braue yong Prince, thy

2058Noble grandfather doth liue againe in thee,

29362059Long maiest thou liue to beare his image,

29372060And to renew his glories.

29382061Sum. And he that turnes and flies when such do fight,

29392062Let him to bed, and like the Owle by daie

29402063Be hist, and wondered at if he arise.

29452065Mes. My Lords, Duke Edward with a mighty power,

29462066Is marching hitherwards to fight with you.

29472067Oxf. I thought it was his pollicie, to take vs vnprouided,

29482068But here will we stand and fight it to the death.

29542070Edw. See brothers, yonder stands the thornie wood,

29552071Which by Gods assistance and your prowesse,

29562072Shall with our swords yer night be cleane cut downe.

29602073Queen. Lords, Knights & gentlemen, what I should say,

29612074My teares gainesaie, for as you see, I drinke

29622075The water of mine eies. Then no more

29632076But this. Henry your king is prisoner

29642077In the tower, his land and all our friends

29652078Are quite distrest, and yonder standes

29672079The Wolfe that makes all this,

29682080Then on Gods name Lords togither cry saint George.

29692081All. Saint George for Lancaster.
