1039Wele wake him with our Marshall harmonie. Exeunt.

1045Heere till our Nauie of a thousand saile,

1046Haue made a breakfast to our foe by Sea,

1047Let vs incampe to wait their happie speede:

1048Lorraine what readines is Edward in?

1049How hast thou heard that he prouided is

1050Of marshiall furniture for this exployt.

1051Lo: To lay aside vnnecessary soothing,

1052And not to spend the time in circumstaunce,

1053Tis bruted for a certenty my Lord,

1054That hees exceeding strongly fortified,

1055His subiects flocke as willingly to warre,

1056As if vnto a tryumph they were led.

1057Ch: England was wont to harbour malcontents,

1058Blood thirsty, and seditious Catelynes,

1059Spend thrifts, and such as gape for nothing else,

1060But changing and alteration of the state,

1061And is it possible,

1062That they are now so loyall in them selues?

1063Lo: All but the Scot, who sollemnly protests,

1064As heeretofore I haue enformd his grace,

1065Neuer to sheath his Sword, or take a truce.

1066Io: Ah, thats the anchredge of some better hope,

1067But on the other side, to thinke what friends,

1068King Edward hath retaynd in Netherland,

1069Among those euer-bibbing Epicures:

1070Those frothy Dutch men, puft with double beere,

1071That drinke and swill in euery place they come,

1072Doth not a little aggrauate mine ire,

1073Besides we heare the Emperor conioynes,

1074And stalls him in his owne authoritie:

1075But all the mightier that their number is,

1076The greater glory reapes the victory,

1077Some friends haue we beside drum stricke power,

1078The sterne Polonian and the warlike Dane:

1079The king of Bohemia, and of Cycelie.

1080Are all become confederates with vs,

1081And as I thinke are marching hither apace,

1082But soft I heare the musicke of their drums.

1083By which I gesse that their approch is neare.

1088King Iohn of Fraunce, as league and neighborhood,

1089Requires when friends are any way distrest,

1090I come to aide thee with my countries force,

1091Pol. Cap. And from great Musco fearefull to the Turke,

1092And lofty Poland, nurse of hardie men,

1093I bring these seruitors to fight for thee,

1094Who willingly will venture in thy cause.

1095K. Io: Welcome Bohemian king, and welcome all,

1096This your great kindnesse I will not forget.

1097Besides your plentiful rewards in Crownes,

1098That from our Treasory ye shall receiue,

1099There comes a hare braind Nation deckt in pride,

1100The spoyle of whome wiil be a trebble game,

1101And now my hope is full, my ioy complete,
