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 THE FIFTH
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

arrows loosed several ways Come to one mark�察�as many ways meet in one
town�察�As many fresh streams meet in one salt sea�察�As many lines close in
the dial's centre�察 �So many a thousand actions�察 �once afoot�察 �End in one
purpose�察 �and be all well home Without defeat。 Therefore to France�察 �my
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
such powers left at home�察�Cannot defend our own doors from the dog�察�Let
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
empery O'er France and all her almost kingly dukedoms�察 �Or lay these
bones in an unworthy urn�察 �Tombless�察 �with no remembrance over them。
Either our history shall with full mouth Speak freely of our acts�察�or else
our grave�察 �Like Turkish mute�察 �shall have a tongueless mouth�察 �Not
worshipp'd with a waxen epitaph。
Enter AMBASSADORS of France
Now are we well prepar'd to know the pleasure Of our fair cousin
Dauphin�察 �for we hear Your greeting is from him�察 �not from the King。
