greatness When I do rouse me in my throne of France: For that I have laid by my majesty And plodded
like a man for working-days, But I will rise there with so full a glory That I will dazzle all the eyes of France, Yea,
strike the Dauphin blind to look on us. And tell the pleasant prince this mock of his Hath turn'd his balls to
gun-stones; and his soul Shall stand sore charged for the wasteful vengeance That shall fly with them: for
many a thousand widows Shall this his mock mock out of their dear husbands; Mock mothers from their
sons, mock castles down; And some are yet ungotten and unborn That shall have cause to curse the
Dauphin's scorn. But this lies all within the will of God, To whom I do appeal; and in whose name Tell you
the Dauphin I am coming on, To venge me as I may and to put forth My rightful hand in a well-hallow'd
cause. So get you hence in peace; and tell the Dauphin His jest will savour but of shallow wit, When thousands
weep more than did laugh at it. Convey them with safe conduct. Fare you well.
Exeunt Ambassadors EXETER
This was a merry message. KING HENRY V
We hope to make the sender blush at it. Therefore, my lords, omit no happy hour That may give furtherance
to our expedition; For we have now no thought in us but France, Save those to God, that run before our
business. Therefore let our proportions for these wars Be soon collected and all things thought upon That
may with reasonable swiftness add More feathers to our wings; for, God before, We'll chide this Dauphin
at his father's door. Therefore let every man now task his thought, That this fair action may on foot be
brought.
Exeunt. Flourish
