authors faithfully affirm That the land Salique is in Germany�察�Between the 

floods of Sala and of Elbe�察�Where Charles the Great�察�having subdu'd the 

Saxons�察  �There   left   behind   and   settled   certain   French�察  �Who�察  �holding   in 

disdain   the   German   women   For   some   dishonest   manners   of   their   life�察�

Establish'd then this law�此�to wit�察�no female Should be inheritrix in Salique 

land�察  �Which   Salique�察  �as   I   said�察  �'twixt   Elbe   and   Sala�察  �Is   at   this   day   in 

Germany call'd Meisen。 Then doth it well appear the Salique law Was not 

devised for the realm of France�察�Nor did the French possess the Salique 

land   Until   four   hundred   one   and   twenty   years After   defunction   of   King 

Pharamond�察  �Idly   suppos'd   the   founder   of   this   law�察  �Who   died   within   the 

year   of   our   redemption   Four   hundred   twenty´six�察  �and   Charles   the   Great 

Subdu'd the Saxons�察�and did seat the French Beyond the river Sala�察�in the 

year   Eight   hundred   five。   Besides�察  �their   writers   say�察  �King   Pepin�察  �which 

deposed      Childeric�察   �Did�察  �as  heir  general�察  �being    descended     Of   Blithild�察�

which was daughter to King Clothair�察�Make claim and title to the crown of 

France。 Hugh Capet also�察�who usurp'd the crown Of Charles the Duke of 

Lorraine�察�sole heir male Of the true line and stock of Charles the Great�察�To 

find his title with some shows of truth´ Though in pure truth it was corrupt 

and naught´ Convey'd himself as th' heir to th' Lady Lingare�察�Daughter to 

Charlemain�察�who was the son To Lewis the Emperor�察�and Lewis the son 

Of Charles the Great。 Also King Lewis the Tenth�察�Who was sole heir to the 

usurper Capet�察�Could not keep quiet in his conscience�察�Wearing the crown 

of France�察�till satisfied That fair Queen Isabel�察�his grandmother�察�Was lineal 

of the Lady Ermengare�察�Daughter to Charles the foresaid Duke of Lorraine�察�

By the which marriage the line of Charles the Great Was re´united to the 

Crown of   France。 So   that�察  �as clear   as is   the   summer's sun�察  �King   Pepin's 

title�察�and Hugh Capet's claim�察 �King Lewis his satisfaction�察�all appear To 

hold in right and tide of the female�察�So do the kings of France unto this 

day�察�Howbeit they would hold up this Salique law To bar your Highness 

claiming from the female�察�And rather choose to hide them in a net Than 

amply to imbar their crooked tides Usurp'd from you and your progenitors。

KING      HENRY。       May    I  with    right  and   conscience      make    this  claim�拭�

CANTERBURY。 The sin upon my head�察�dread sovereign� �For in the book 

of Numbers is it writ�察�When the man dies�察�let the inheritance Descend unto 

the daughter。 Gracious lord�察�Stand for your own�察�unwind your bloody flag�察�

Look back into your mighty ancestors。 Go�察�my dread lord�察�to your great´ 

grandsire's tomb�察  �From   whom   you   claim�察  �invoke   his   warlike  spirit�察�And 

your great´uncle's�察�Edward the Black Prince�察�Who on the French ground 

play'd   a   tragedy�察 �Making   defeat   on   the   fun   power   of   France�察�Whiles   his 

most   mighty   father   on   a   hill   Stood   smiling   to   behold   his   lion's   whelp 

Forage in blood of French nobility。 O noble English�察�that could entertain 

With half their forces the full pride of France�察�And let another half stand 

laughing      by�察  �All   out   of   work    and    cold   for   action�    �ELY。    Awake 

remembrance   of   these   valiant   dead�察�And   with   your   puissant   arm   renew 

their   feats。 You   are   their   heir�察  �you   sit   upon   their   throne�察  �The   blood   and 

courage that renowned them Runs   in your veins�察�and my  thrice´puissant 

liege Is in the very May´morn of his youth�察�Ripe for exploits and mighty 

enterprises。 EXETER。 Your brother kings and monarchs of the earth Do all 

expect   that   you   should   rouse   yourself�察 �As   did   the   former   lions   of   your 

blood。 WESTMORELAND。 They know your Grace hath cause and means 

and   might´   So   hath   your   Highness�察  �never   King   of   England   Had   nobles 

richer and more loyal subjects�察�Whose hearts have left their bodies here in 

England And lie pavilion'd in the fields of France。 CANTERBURY。 O�察�let 

their bodies follow�察�my dear liege�察�With blood and sword and fire to win 

your right� �In aid whereof we of the spiritualty Will raise your Highness 

such a mighty sum As never did the clergy at one time Bring in to any of 

your ancestors。 KING HENRY。 We must not only arm t' invade the French�察�

But lay down our proportions to defend Against the Scot�察�who will make 

road upon us With all advantages。 CANTERBURY。 They of those marches�察�

gracious sovereign�察�Shall be a wall sufficient to defend Our inland from 

the   pilfering   borderers。   KING   HENRY。   We   do   not   mean   the   coursing 

snatchers only�察�But fear the main intendment of the Scot�察�Who hath been 

still a giddy neighbour to us�察�For you shall read that my great´grandfather 

Never went with his forces into France But that the Scot on his unfurnish'd 

kingdom Came pouring�察�like the tide into a breach�察�With ample and brim

fulness   of   his   force�察  �Galling   the   gleaned   land   with   hot   assays�察  �Girdling 

with    grievous   siege   castles   and   towns�察  �That   England�察  �being   empty   of 

defence�察      �Hath      shook     and     trembled       at    th'   ill   neighbourhood。 

CANTERBURY。  She  hath   been   then   more  fear'd   than   harm'd�察  �my   liege�察�

For hear her but exampled by herself�此�When all her chivalry hath been in 

France�察�And   she   a   mourning   widow   of   her   nobles�察  �She   hath   herself   not 

only well defended But taken and impounded as a stray The King of Scots�察�

whom she did send to France�察�To fill King Edward's fame with prisoner 

kings�察  �And   make   her   chronicle   as   rich   with   praise   As   is   the   ooze   and 

bottom       of   the    sea    With     sunken     wreck      and    sumless      treasuries。 

WESTMORELAND。 But there's a saying�察�very old and true�此�

       'If that you will France win�察�Then with Scotland first begin。' For once 

the eagle   England being in   prey�察�To her   unguarded nest the   weasel   Scot 

Comes   sneaking�察  �and   so   sucks   her   princely   eggs�察  �Playing   the   mouse   in 

absence of the cat�察�To tear and havoc more than she can eat。 EXETER。 It 

follows�察�then�察�the cat must stay at home�察�Yet that is but a crush'd necessity�察�

Since we have locks to safeguard necessaries And pretty traps to catch the 

petty   thieves。  While   that   the   armed   hand   doth   fight   abroad�察 �Th'   advised 

head defends itself at home�察�For government�察�though high�察�and low�察�and 

lower�察�Put into parts�察�doth keep in one consent�察�Congreeing in a full and 

natural close�察�Like music。 CANTERBURY。 Therefore doth heaven divide 

The     state  of   man    in  divers   functions�察   �Setting    endeavour      in  continual 

motion�察�To   which   is   fixed   as   an   aim  or   but   Obedience�察  �for   so   work  the 

honey bees�察�Creatures that by a rule in nature teach The act of order to a 

peopled   kingdom。   They   have   a   king�察  �and   officers   of   sorts�察  �Where   some 

like   magistrates     correct    at  home�察   �Others    like   merchants     venture     trade 

abroad�察  �Others   like   soldiers�察  �armed   in   their   stings�察  �Make   boot   upon   the 

summer's velvet buds�察�Which pillage they with merry march bring home 

To   the   tent´royal   of   their   emperor�察  �Who�察  �busied   in   his   majesty�察  �surveys 

The singing masons building roofs of gold�察�The civil citizens kneading up 

the honey�察�The poor mechanic porters crowding in Their heavy burdens at 

his narrow gate�察�The sad´ey'd justice�察�with his surly hum�察�Delivering o'er 

to executors pale The lazy yawning drone。 I this infer�察�That many things�察�

having   full   reference To   one   consent�察  �may  work   contrariously�察�As   many

liege。 Divide your happy England into four�察�Whereof take you one quarter 

into France�察�And you withal shall make all Gallia shake。 If we�察�with thrice

us   be   worried�察  �and   our   nation   lose   The   name   of   hardiness   and   policy。 

KING   HENRY。   Call   in   the   messengers   sent   from   the   Dauphin。   Exeunt 

some attendants Now are we well resolv'd�察�and�察�by God's help And yours�察�

the noble sinews of our power�察�France being ours�察�we'll bend it to our awe�察�

Or   break   it   all   to   pieces�察  �or   there   we'll   sit�察  �Ruling   in   large   and   ample

bones   in   an   unworthy   urn�察  �Tombless�察  �with   no   remembrance   over   them。
