2851Vouchsafe to those that haue not read the Story,

2852That I may prompt them: and of such as haue,

2853I humbly pray them to admit th'excuse

2854Of time, of numbers, and due course of things,

2855Which cannot in their huge and proper life,

2856Be here presented. Now we beare the King

2857Toward Callice: Graunt him there; there seene,

2858Heaue him away vpon your winged thoughts,

2859Athwart the Sea: Behold the English beach

2860Pales in the flood; with Men, Wiues, and Boyes,

2861Whose shouts & claps out-voyce the deep-mouth'd Sea,

2862Which like a mightie Whiffler 'fore the King,

2863Seemes to prepare his way: So let him land,

2864And solemnly see him set on to London.

2865So swift a pace hath Thought, that euen now

2866You may imagine him vpon Black-Heath:

2867Where, that his Lords desire him, to haue borne

2868His bruised Helmet, and his bended Sword

2869Before him, through the Citie: he forbids it,

2870Being free from vain-nesse, and selfe-glorious pride;

2871Giuing full Trophee, Signall, and Ostent,

2872Quite from himselfe, to God. But now behold,

2873In the quick Forge and working-house of Thought,

2874How London doth powre out her Citizens,

2875The Maior and all his Brethren in best sort,

2876Like to the Senatours of th'antique Rome,

2877With the Plebeians swarming at their heeles,

2878Goe forth and fetch their Conqu'ring Caesar in:

2879As by a lower, but by louing likelyhood,

2880Were now the Generall of our gracious Empresse,

2881As in good time he may, from Ireland comming,

2882Bringing Rebellion broached on his Sword;

2883How many would the peacefull Citie quit,

2884To welcome him? much more, and much more cause,

2885Did they this Harry. Now in London place him.

2886As yet the lamentation of the French

2887Inuites the King of Englands stay at home:

2888The Emperour's comming in behalfe of France,

2889To order peace betweene them: and omit

2890All the occurrences, what euer chanc't,

2891Till Harryes backe returne againe to France:

2892There must we bring him; and my selfe haue play'd

2893The interim, by remembring you 'tis past.

2894Then brooke abridgement, and your eyes aduance,

2895After your thoughts, straight backe againe to France.
