K.Io. Heere haue we war for war, & bloud for bloud,
Controlement for controlement: so answer France Chat. Then take my Kings defiance from my mouth, The farthest limit of my Embassie K.Iohn. Beare mine to him, and so depart in peace, Be thou as lightning in the eies of France; For ere thou canst report, I will be there: The thunder of my Cannon shall be heard. So hence: be thou the trumpet of our wrath, And sullen presage of your owne decay: An honourable conduct let him haue, Pembroke looke too't: farewell Chattillion. Exit Chat. and Pem. Ele. What now my sonne, haue I not euer said How that ambitious Constance would not cease Till she had kindled France and all the world, Vpon the right and party of her sonne. This might haue beene preuented, and made whole With very easie arguments of loue, Which now the mannage of two kingdomes must With fearefull bloudy issue arbitrate K.Iohn. Our strong possession, and our right for vs Eli. Your strong possessio[n] much more then your right, Or else it must go wrong with you and me, |
