1    So that from point to point now have you heard
2    The fundamental reasons of this war,
3    Whose great decision hath much blood let forth
4    And more thirsts after.

5    Holy seems the quarrel
6    Upon your grace's part; black and fearful
7    On the opposer.

8    Therefore we marvel much our cousin France
9    Would in so just a business shut his bosom
10   Against our borrowing prayers.

11   Good my lord,
12   The reasons of our state I cannot yield,
13   But like a common and an outward man,
14   That the great figure of a council frames
15   By self-unable motion: therefore dare not
16   Say what I think of it, since I have found
17   Myself in my incertain grounds to fail
18   As often as I guess'd.

19   Be it his pleasure.

20   But I am sure the younger of our nature,
21   That surfeit on their ease, will day by day
22   Come here for physic.

23   Welcome shall they be;
24   And all the honours that can fly from us
25   Shall on them settle. You know your places well;
26   When better fall, for your avails they fell:
27   To-morrow to the field.
